“…A steel-concrete composite beam bridge is composed of steel beams and concrete bridge deck, which are combined by shear connectors. This kind of structure makes full use of the tensile properties of steel and the compressive performance of concrete, and it is more suitable for large-span bridge structures because it has many advantages such as high stiffness, short construction period, and good economic benefits [1,2]. However, in the negative bending moment zone, the concrete bridge deck is subjected to tensile stress, and the steel beam is subjected to compressive stress, which is an unfavorable stress state for the steel-concrete composite beam structure.…”

Steel-concrete composite beam has been increasingly applied to large span cable-stayed bridges. It takes full advantage of the material properties of steel and concrete. However, the concrete deck bears tension in the negative moment zone, such as zero block, which is disadvantageous to structures. Aiming at this problem, a finite element model of the zero block in the negative moment zone of a semi-floating cable-stayed bridge is built, and the local mechanical performance of the bridge deck under completed status is studied. Based on the analysis results, three improvement measures have been proposed. The improvement effect of each method and composed of three methods has been studied. The numerical results show that the whole zero block zone is in the compressed state under the combined action of the bending moment and axial force of the stay cable. However, the local negative moment effect in the zero block zone is very prominent under the support of the diaphragm plate. Removing parts of the diaphragm plate at the bearing position can significantly improve local mechanical behavior in the concrete deck, which transfers the local support to the adjacent two diaphragm plates. The composed improvement effect is prominent when the three measures are adopted simultaneously.
