Non-steel-cell joint section is a common way to connect the steel beam and the concrete beam in steel-concrete hybrid girder bridge, and the PBL connector with large rigidity is usually adopted in non-steel-cell joint section. Shear resistance of PBL connector determines the success of joint force transmission. But the PBL connection in different structures has different boundary conditions and the state of stress. By means of the finite element numerical analysis method, the different failure modes of the steel roof and the bottom plate PBL connector under ultimate bearing capacity load were analyzed. The results show that the concrete stress level of compressive zone of columns hole is relatively balanced; the stress value of concrete in tensile stress area of connector close to bearing plate hole is bigger, and the stress value of concrete far from bearing plate hole is low. When PBL connector is in compression zone, it will make full use of its shear capacity to a greater degree.
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.
