<p>This paper aims to explore the challenge of the design of over one-kilometer-long span road-rail cable-stayed bridge. Because of the large live load and the weight of the structure itself, it has important theoretical significance and engineering application value to study the design parameters of the long Road-Rail cable-stayed bridge with a main span of over 1000 m. The main content of this paper is to study the Steel Road-Rail Cable-stayed Bridge with a main span of 1200 m. The finite element model is established by large-scale analysis software to calculate the response of the structure under load. Based on the calculation results, the rationality of long-span cable-stayed bridge are preliminarily researched. Wind and seismic loads are not considered.</p>

For the arrangement of suspender and arch rib in the combination of beam and arch bridge, the finite element model is established according to the background of practical engineering. The influence of the variations of structure design parameters on structure characteristics of the static and dynamic is analyzed. The calculation results show that the different layout of suspender has small effect on the axial force variations of tie beam and arch rib, but has bigger influence on the bending moment of partial section. The structural transverse basic frequency augments with increase of arch rib leaning-angle, the vertical and twisting basic frequency is larger when the leaning suspender and netted suspender are used. The arrangement of suspender and arch rib should be optimized in the design of similar bridge.

The finite element model of the space KX-Joint was established using ANSYS software, and the failure mode and ultimate bearing capacity of KX-joint were researched. Calculation results show that the surface of chord wall on the roots of compression web members was into the plastic in K plane, and the holding pole without the plastic area and the local buckling failure happened in the surface of chord wall on the roots of Compression Web Members in X plane; The bearing capacity of the joint increased with the Chord diameter, which was appears in the form of power function.

In this paper, the bionic membrane structure is introduced to improve the aerodynamic performance of nano rotor at the low Reynolds number. The aerodynamic characteristics of nano rotor made of hyperelastic material as membrane blades are studied. Firstly, based on the hyperelastic constitutive model, a finite element model of the rotor is established and compared with the results of the modal test to verify the accuracy of the model. Then the computational fluid dynamics model of membrane nano rotor is established which combined with the finite element model. The aerodynamic characteristics of the membrane rotor under hovering conditions are studied using fluid–structure interaction method. It is found that the calculation results matched well with the experiment results. The design of the structural parameters such as the membrane proportion, shape, and position of the membrane rotor is optimized. The influence of each parameter on the aerodynamic performance of the rotor is obtained. Under certain structural conditions, the performance can be effectively improved, which provides a new idea for the design of the nano rotor.

Continuous welded rail (CWR) has been widely applied to the Chinese high-speed railways. It is interesting to reduce the effect of rail longitudinal force on the long-span cable-stayed bridges. Taking the pile-soil interaction into account, the finite element model of CWR on the long-span cable-stayed bridge is established based on the bridge-track interaction theory. The rail longitudinal force can be reduced and the track stability can be improved significantly by installing Rail Expansion Joint (REJ). The layout scheme of REJ plays a controlling role on designing CWR on bridges. Results show that the unidirectional REJ should be laid on both ends of the long-span cable-stayed bridge. Switch rails of REJ are set up on the main beam, stock rails are laid on the simply supported beams and crossing over beam joints, and several-meter long small resistance fasteners need to be laid on the sides of stock rails to reduce the fixed pier longitudinal force near the main beam. The range of REJ laid on cable-stayed bridge is mainly determined by temperature, rail breaking, and seismic condition; the bending and braking loads have little influence on it. Multiple field tests are carried out to prove the validity of the numerical model and the design methodology.

E-dong Yangtze River Highway Bridge is a compound double Tower Double Suspension Cable stayed bridge with a main-span of 926m. it has very distinctive geometric nonlinearity, which features as a long span, a high Tower, a soft construction, etc. in order to analyze how the geometric nonlinearity will affect the live load effect of large-span cable stayed bridge, we adopted the experimental results of the static experiments of the E-dong bridge to do a comparative analysis, during which all the calculation was based on the limited Factor theory. And the results showed that, the nonlinear results fit much better with the actual response of large-span cable stayed bridge, while the linear results produced a big difference.

Subjected to external pressure, buckling analysis is key problem in the roof shell design of large scale cylinder gasholder. Two simplified buckling analysis methods, the continuous orthotropic plate method and the split-rigidity method, are introduced to check the general instability of stiffened spherical shallow shell. Considering the plate and the stiffeners in two directions with the same contribution to the bending stiffness, the equivalent bending thickness formula is put forward. The finite element model for a 100,000 m³cylinder gasholder roof is setup. The buckling critical loads obtained prove that the split-rigidity analysis method and formulae are applicable. The results can be referred in design of stiffened spherical shallow shell.
