Shrinkage and creep are the inherent properties of concrete bridge. According to Latin Hypercube Sampling method (LHS) and concrete bridge shrinkage and creep uncertainty parameters, this paper promotes stochastic finite element method based on LHS for concrete bridge shrinkage and creep uncertainty analysis in ANSYS random analysis model. Based on this stochastic finite element method, internal force and long-term deformation of a continuous rigid frame bridge with density gradient concrete is analyzed. Result show, internal force and deformation of continuous rigid frame bridge after completing are reasonable and satisfy Code requirement, and are various in previous 3 years at service stage and trend to steadily after 3 years. Research result provides theoretical basis for shrinkage and creep uncertainty further analysis in concrete bridge.

Under the Large Tonnage Pre-Stress, the stress of concrete which is under the anchor plate is complicated. To ensure the safety of construction and structure, the condition of local stress of the bridge structure should be investigated. When the pre-stress steel of Segment 1# of Pier 1# of Hongwuwo Bridge is tensioned, the strain situation of concrete near the anchor plate of the box girder is measured. The measured value is compared with the analytical value which is obtained through space finite element method.

The Finite Element Model

Due to the environment, climate, loads and other factors, the pre-stress applied to the beam is not a constant. It is important for engineers to track the state of the pre-stress in order to ensure security of the bridge in service. To solve the problem mentioned above, the paper puts forward a new way to analyze the effective pre-stress using the displacement inversion method based on the inversion theory according to the measured vertical deflection of the bridge in service at different time. The method is a feasible way to predict the effective pre-stress of the bridge in service. Lastly, taking the pre-stressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge for example, the effective pre-stress is analyzed by establishing the finite element model.

To consider the effect of non-uniform shrinkage of box girder sections on the long-term deformations of continuous rigid frame bridges, and to improve the prediction accuracy of analysis in the design phase, this paper proposes a new simulation technique for use with general-purpose finite element program. The non-uniform shrinkage effect of the box girder is transformed to an equivalent temperature gradient and then applied as external load onto the beam elements in the finite element analysis. Comparative analysis of the difference in deflections between uniform shrinkage and nonuniform shrinkage of the main girder was made for a vehicular bridge in reality using the proposed technique. The results indicate that the maximum deflection of box girder under the action of non-uniform shrinkage is much greater than that under the action of uniform shrinkage. The maximum downward deflection of the bridge girder caused by uniform shrinkage is 5.6 mm at 20 years after completion of bridge deck construction, whereas the maximum downward deflection caused by non-uniform shrinkage is 21.6 mm, which is 3.8 times larger. This study shows that the non-uniform shrinkage effect of the girder sections has a significant impact on the long-term deflection of continuous rigid frame bridge, and it can be accurately simulated by the proposed transformation technique.
