A steel-prestressed concrete composite continuous beam bridge is one of new type navigational bridge structures with economic and clear mechanic behaviors. The junction of steel and concrete beam is the critical part, which makes the two different materials to be continuous structural system and transfer different kinds of loads reasonably. This article takes the Chang Bridge which locates on G318 state road in Changxing County, Zhejiang Province as the background to analyze the characteristics of transferring bending moment in the junction by the finite element method. The results show that the junction of steel and concrete designed can transfer loads smoothly. Therefore, the junction can be further researched for extensive application.
Cantilever construction is main mode for prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame box-girder bridges, but the diagonal cracks on web are often appeared in construction. The prestressed tension is an important part of the construction beyond doubt. This article takes a bridge under construction as the background to analyze the variation of stressed in the process of construction by MIDAS FEA. The result shows that the vertical steel stretch-drawn in advance has to be a consensus in future.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
