Taking Taizhou Bridge as an example, which is the first kilometer level three-pylon two-span suspension bridge in the world, two foundation schemes are designed for the middle pylon, and two whole bridge models with two different foundation schemes of the middle pylon are established respectively in this paper. The effects of foundation-soil interaction are simulated by equivalent linear soil springs whose stiffnesses are calculated according to m method. Seismic capacity/demand ratios of the two models are calculated. The following conclusions can be drawn: the weak positions of the two schemes are not the same; if caisson foundation is adopted for the middle pylon, the weak position is the bearing capacity of the middle pylon foundation, while if pile group foundation is adopted for the middle pylon, the weak position is the bearing capacity of the side pylon foundation.展开更多

It has been proved by the practice that, not only improving tensile strength of structural concrete as soon as possible and removing of constrain as much as possible, but also calculation of the thermal stress in the process of construction and maintenance, controlling structure of concrete tensile strength and temperature difference stress ratio can ensure the safety and defect-free.展开更多
