Orthotropic monolithic steel bridge deck system stiffened by U rib is very fit for high-speed railway steel bridges because of its excellent mechanical behaviors. Thickness of flange is a very important parameter of U rib and has influence on mechanical behaviors of orthotropic monolithic steel bridge deck system. Based on the engineering practice of Anqing Yangtze River Railway Grand Bridge, the kind and the extents of influences of thickness of flange of U rib on mechanical behaviors of orthotropic monolithic steel bridge deck system are studied with finite element analysis. The results show that thickness of flange of U rib has relative large positive influences on rigidity, strength and stability of orthotropic monolithic steel bridge deck system. 14~18mm is the appropriate range of thickness of flange of U rib for high-speed railway steel bridges.

<p>The construction informatization of railway bridges is becoming a significant feature of “intelligent manufacturing" in China's high speed railway (HSR). In order to explore the implementation of “Internet plus steel bridge construction" and further improve the quality and efficiency of construction, digitization and informatization of steel bridge construction have been studied. The overall framework of digital construction of railway steel bridge construction based on the internet of things (IoT) and BIM technology is proposed after analyzing the key process of quality control during the construction of railway steel bridge. And then the virtual reconstruction of railway steel bridge is presented based on the advanced digital technology. Taking the pre-assembly in fabrication stage and the bolted connection in erection stage of steel bridges as two representative examples, the virtual reconstruction information system has been developed and tested in some HSR railway bridge projects in China, which verifies the feasibility and efficiency of digital control virtual reconstruction strategy. The research is meaningful to the future application and development in intelligent construction of railway steel bridges.</p>
