Mechanical performance evaluation of a new type of cable-stayed beam-arch combination bridge based on field tests

In order to study the mechanical performance of a new type of cable-stayed beam-arch combination bridge, the results of field static and dynamic load tests are comparatively analyzed with numerical results based on the Jingyi bridge straddling the Daxi River in Yixing. First, the test scheme, tasks, the corresponding measure method, as well as the relevant codes are described. Secondly, two sets of three- dimensional finite element models are established. One is Ansys which uses the solid element and the other is Midas which adopts the beam element. Finally, the experimental and analytical results are comparatively analyzed, and they show an agreement with each other. The results show that the bridge possesses adequate load-carrying capacity under all static load cases, but the capacity of dissipating external input energy is insufficient due to the relatively smaller damping ratio. The study results can provide a reference for further study and optimization of this type of bridge. Calibrated finite-element models that reflect the real conditions can be used as a baseline for future maintenance of the bridge.

深圳茅洲河碧道燕罗人行桥设计

深圳茅洲河碧道燕罗人行桥主跨108 m,桥宽11.5 m,矢跨比1/11.74,采用双层桥面布置,拱顶处互通。桥梁设计采用下穿式斜拉-拱桥组合结构体系,降低了拱脚水平力,提高了主拱刚度。拱肋采用分离式钢箱截面,截面高1.2 m,高跨比1/90,拱脚采用PBL剪力键与混凝土拱座连接。主梁采用1.2 m高焊接工字钢梁,拱梁之间采用钢管立柱连接。桥塔采用现浇变截面混凝土斜塔,塔高13.04 m,倾角37.06°,塔顶3.75 m为锚索区,采用混凝土外套钢帽的构造。拉索采用镀锌钢丝拉索体系,主索及背索上端交叉锚固于混凝土桥塔上,主索下穿拱肋段采用“钢管内置定位器”构造,背索下端通过锚拉板锚固于背索承台上。基础采用Φ150 cm钻孔灌注桩。为控制人致振动加速度,在跨中和四分点处设置TMD,达到了良好的人行舒适度。

大跨度桥梁结构体系设计优化

随着经济与技术的发展,大跨度桥梁在公路建设中的地位也愈发重要,目前大跨度桥梁结构体系主要有悬索桥、斜拉桥、拱桥。限制大跨度桥梁的发展主要有两个因素:新型材料与结构体系优化,由于新型材料的发展不能满足桥梁发展的需求,于是学者们开始从结构体系优化进行探索。本文对斜拉-拱桥、斜拉-悬索桥、悬索-拱桥、稳定性悬索桥分别进行了分析优化,对大跨度桥梁发展提供一定的指导。
