Experimental Study on Neotype Anchor System in Tower of Cable-Stayed Bridge

Abstract

Concrete is used in tower, and steel is used in anchor zone. It can make full use of the two materials’ nature. It can not only satisfy the tower’s stressed aptitude, but also can reduce the cost of construction. In this paper, the full size model has been designed and constructed. The test investigation of the statical performance have been proceeded. The results show that the neotype anchor system can make full use of the materials’ nature and is in good working order. The anchor system with enough bearing capacity satisfies the operating requiements of the cable-stayed bridge.
