As an external prestressed concrete box girder continuous rigid-frame bridge with the longest span in China, the Xiantan Bridge was reported in this paper for its special characteristics. The key points of the end cross beam for anchorage zone and deviation block for the deviator were introduced in detail for its design. The finite element models for them with 3D FEM were created to get the stress state to ensure the safety. Taking the stress distribution results into account, the optimization design for the thickness for these key locations was reported too. The results can provide reference for the similar projects.
There are many roads crossed the bridge of the Maglev train. Due to overheight or irregular vehicles may bump or scratch the bridge, damage the electronic lines, or even damage the bridge, it is necessary to monitor these vehicles for the particularity of the Maglev transport. According to the possibility of different injury, this paper developed corresponding recognition modes and methods, discussed several early-warning systems and signal transmission mode. After compared some plans, feasible method was tested. After finished the system design and equipment processing and test, the final testing program was verified using the integrated early-warning system according to the field situation, proved the system reliability, sensitivity. The next step research was suggested.
When the bridges broaden with seamless technology, there are differences between the existing bridge and the new bridge in design, construction and service. Because of concrete creep and shrinkage, temperature effect and prestress loss, there are stress defects in the seam, which will affect the service and safety. The current methods for the seam in foreign and domestic, such as plant steel and semi-rigid connection method are passive measures based on structure exiting state, which cannot ensure the long-term performance of the seam.
In view of the difference in design, construction and the usage of the old and the new bridges, there are always stress defects in seamline because of the concrete creep and shrinkage, temperature effect and prestress loss, which seriously affect the service and driving safety. The current ways in foreign and domestic, such as plant steel and semi-rigid connection method, are passive processing based on structure, can’t ensure the long-term performance. According to the three direction stress existing in the seamline, this paper decomposes the material contribution and structure influence, putting forward respectively using material and structure to overcome the adverse situation, using material to remove partial long-term effect, and through the sensitivity analysis of related parameters, to make the structure bearing the rest adverse effect, ensuring the long-term performance of seamline. The relevant conclusion can provide reference for the design and construction of the concrete bridge seamline.
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.
