For long-span cable-stayed bridge, the stress of pylon anchorage zone is complex. For the construction technology personnel, the research on the force characteristics of anchorage zone can offer a theoretical base to organize construction better. This paper makes a further study for the stress of tower anchorage zone of two cable-stayed bridges with different anchor forms by using major general finite element program ANSYS to analysis the force characteristics of anchorage zone in detail. The results provide a reference for construct and design the same type structure. The analysis method for same type structure is also worth learning.

Cable Stayed Bridges

The cable-stayed bridge got rapid development in recent years. And for long-span cable-stayed bridges, the cable-girder anchorage structure is a key component in designing. The function of the cable-girder anchorage structure is to transfer the load between cables and the main girder. With the complex load transfer mechanism and stress concentration induced by large cable force, rational design of cable-girder anchorage structure is critical to long-span cable-stayed bridges. Take a certain long-span railway cable-stayed bridge in Zhejiang Province as the investigation, the load transfer mechanism and the stress distribution state was studied by finite element model. The research indicated that the design of this anchor box was rational. The stress distribution on each plate of the anchor box was relatively uniform. And the load transfer path and mechanisms of the main components of this anchor box were clear.

An accurate numerical analysis of the behavior of long-span cable-stayed bridges under environmental effects is a challenge because of complex, uncertain and varying environmental meteorology. This study aims to investigate in-situ experimental structural behavior of long-span steel cable-stayed bridges under environmental effects such as air temperature and wind using the monitoring data. Nissibi cable-stayed bridge with total length of 610m constructed in the city of Adıyaman, Turkey, in 2015 is chosen for this purpose. Structural behaviors of the main structural elements including deck, towers (pylons) and cables of the selected long span cable-stayed bridge under environmental effects such as air temperature and wind are investigated by using daily monitoring data. The daily variations of cable forces, cable accelerations, pylon accelerations and deck accelerations with air temperature and wind speed are compared using the hottest summer (July 31, 2015) and the coldest winter (January 1, 2016) days data.

Steel-concrete composite box beams have been widely used in high rise buildings and long-span bridge structures. But so far, almost all researches have been aimed at the static behavior of the composite beams and dynamic behavior of steel and concrete composite beams have been rarely studied. In this paper, by using general finite element program ANSYS to analyze the dynamic performance of the composite box beam under different geometric parameters. Research is focused on the slip stiffness、width-to-thickness ratio、depth-span ratio and the height ratio of cross section to the vibration characteristics of composite box beam. The results indicate that these factors affect the seismic dynamic response of steel-concrete composite box beams most and they should be controlled according to different situations in seismic design stage.

Cable Stayed Bridges

Floating or semi-floating systems are usually employed for long-span cable-stayed bridges to lengthen their fundamental periods, and accordingly, to reduce their seismic inertial force, but the structures’ seismic displacements could be increased by utilizing these systems. Taking Yong-jiang railway cable-stayed bridge which has a low center of gravity as engineering background, the function of viscous dampers in controlling seismic displacements is studied. Firstly, the rational parameters of dampers are determined by parametric analysis, and then the seismic displacements and forces of the bridge, utilizing and un-utilizing viscous dampers, are compared. The results show that: viscous dampers are efficient in controlling seismic displacements of the bridge; the seismic shear forces at the bottom of towers are reduced slightly and the corresponding moments are reduced in a larger extent for cable-stayed bridge with low center of gravity.

Cable Stayed Bridges

The requirement of long span bridge is increase with development of infrastructure facility in every nation. Long span bridge could be achieved with use of high strength materials and innovative techniques for analysis of bridge. Generally, cable-supported bridges comprise both suspension and cable-stayed bridges. Cable-supported bridges are very flexible in behavior. These flexible systems are susceptible to the dynamic effects of wind and earthquake loads. The cable-stayed bridge could provide more rigidity due to the presence of tensed cable stays as a force resistance element.
