The natural environmental erosion and human factors such as the impact of traffic accidents, crack propagation, concrete carbonation and etc, make the bridge’s damage more serious. Therefore, the bridge damage diagnosis has become a hot field of bridge engineering issues. This paper put forward the fractional diagnosis method of multi-span bridge structure reflecting the structural cracks and carbonation damage. In this paper, adopting the optimization equivalent method, the finite element model of damaged structure is set up according to the damaging characteristic of multi-span continuous bridge structure. A damage index of strain mode with practical meanings is adopted which can reflect local damage. Basing on this index, fractional-step detection method of structural damage is presented. The first step is to identify the damage region, then locate the detailed damage location and degree; Performance of the proposed damage detection approach is demonstrated with analysis of a multi-span continuous bridge. The result turns up trumps.
Nonlinear buckling analysis method using the finite element with application to Long-Span Steel Truss was studied is this paper. The finite element model of long-span complex steel truss hoisting was established and nonlinear buckling analysis of long-span complex steel truss hoisting for two hoisting points schemes was accomplished. The eigenvalues, eigenvalue buckling modes and nonlinear buckling analysis of two hoisting point’s scheme were analyzed. The results indicate that, the nonlinear buckling analysis method using the finite element is applicable approach to study the hoisting buckling problem, the buckling will be not occurring under hoisting stage only with gravity loads. The force status of long-span complex steel truss is improved under more hoisting point’s scheme and the lateral stability is strengthened.
The optimization method of hoisting point’s schemes using strain energy criterion was studied in this paper. Firstly, the finite element model of complex steel truss hoisting was established and optimization analysis of hoisting point’s schemes for complex steel truss hoisting using strain energy criterion was accomplished. The calculation code which can make finite element analysis and optimization analysis of lifting point’s schemes based on strain energy criterion automatically. Then, lifting point’s schemes of complex steel truss hoisting were analyzed with calculation code mentioned above. The results indicate that, the optimization index using strain energy criterion is just strain energy criterion which is a more comprehensive and unidirectional index. Optimization analysis based on strain energy criterion changes optimization analysis of the lifting points schemes for complex steel truss hoisting from multi-target optimization into single-target optimization. The case study shows that this method is practicable and reliable and have good application prospect in hoisting points schemes optimization analysis with application to complex steel truss hoisting.
In the experiment of the behaviour of the connection between steel beam and concrete wall, surface FBG sensor and resistance strain gauge were located at the same measuring point of the flange girth of the steel beam. Measuring results show that the measuring effectiveness of both methods is uniform. And the surface FBG sensor has the merits of using conveniently and non-vitiating. So using surface FBG sensor to measure the surface strains of structural members in structure experiment is feasible.
