Effects of stiffness, carrying efficiency and fatigue of the end anchor cable on the mechanical behavior of long span cable-stayed bridge, were discussed respectively. Firstly, the concept of the effective stiffness and the stress ratio were introduced to discuss the effects of the dead load stress level and the stress ratio on the effective stiffness of the end anchor cable. Secondly, the effect of the cable material on the vertical carrying efficiency of the structure was analyzed. Finally, the main influential factors on the fatigue performance of the end anchor cable were analyzed in detail. It is shown that improving the dead load stress level and keeping the low stress ratio would increase the effective stiffness of the end anchor cable. The section of the end anchor cable effects on stiffness of the structure under high stress level. It can be drawn that as a novel material, The CFRP end anchor cable will increase the load carrying level of the long span cable-stayed bridges. It can also be concluded that the length of side span and main span, the height of pylon, the area of the cable section and the live load collection degree are all the main effective factors to the stress amplitude of the end anchor cable. It is suggested that in the practical design of large span cable-stayed bridge, all the effective factors together with the global state of the structure should be taken into account comprehensively.
Well seismic performance of abutment were safety precondition of whole bridge. According to destroyed multi-span simple beam bridge of Wenchuan earthquake, failure modes of abutment were summarized. On the basis of correlation literature home and overseas, analysis methods of abutment seismic research were investigated. Nether factors should be take into account : soil-abutment interaction, abutment stiffness, bridge span number, pier’s force-displacement curve , bearing stiffness and etc.. Interspace model of seismic analysis were constituted and nonlinear time history adopted, so mechanism of abutment failure modes(strength failure, whole slide and admixture failure )was obtained. Control variables between beam and abutment were discussed. Those variables were keys of research influence on fall-off by abutment failure.
Static and dynamic test of 85m span half-through steel tube concrete truss arch were in. Follow contents were determined in the static test:control section deflection of steel tube concrete arch rib under test load;deck control section deflection and strain measuring in test load;deflection and strain measuring of suspender beam;strain test of suspender;crack observation of beam in loading. The deflection and strain measuring point of deck control section were on the beam. The content of dynamic load test :the measuring of impact coefficient、natural frequency and cable tension by frequency methods. Finally, operational situation of bridge was estimated.
