In order to study temperature effect on initial curve of main cable, three different temperature models were built about temperature changes of main cable along span direction, and iteration calculation methods to find initial curve of main cable in variable temperature field was proposed based on the theory that the length of non-stress wire strand is persistence in unloaded cable station and construction completion station. The catenary equation in variable temperature field was deduced and the suspender length variation as well as horizontal component of cable forces were calculated based on the catenary equation. Taking some suspension bridge for an example, suspender length variation, horizontal component of the cable forces and node coordinate under three different temperature models were calculated by iteration calculation methods.

Test Process

In order to research on mechanical properties of flexible suspension bridges, a geometric nonlinear analysis method was used to simulate on the experimental results, and carried on static loading test finally. In the loading test process, the deformations were measured in critical section of the suspension bridge, and displacement values of measured are compared with simulation values of the finite element simulation. Meanwhile the deformations of the main cable sag are observed under classification loading, the results show that the main cable sag increment is basically linear relationship with the increment of mid-span loading and tension from 3L/8 and 5L/8 to L/2 section, the main cable that increasing unit sag required mid-span loads and tension are gradually reduce in near L/4 and 3L/4 sections and gradually increase in near L/8 and 7L/8 sections and almost equal in near L/2, 3L/8 and 5L/8 sections. From the experimental results, the flexible suspension bridge possess good mechanical properties.

This paper reports the analysis of methods for determining temperature stresses and deformations in bridge structures under the influence of climatic temperature changes in the environment. A one-dimensional model has been applied to determine the temperature field and thermoelastic state in order to practically estimate the temperature fields and stresses of strengthened beams taking into consideration temperature changes in the environment. The temperature field distribution has been determined in the vertical direction of a reinforced concrete beam depending on the thickness of the structural reinforcement with methyl methacrylate. It was established that there is a change in the temperature gradient in a contact between the reinforced concrete beam and reinforcement. The distribution of temperature stresses in the vertical direction of a strengthened reinforced concrete beam has been defined, taking into consideration the thickness of the reinforcement with methyl methacrylate and the value of its elasticity module. It was established that the thickness of the reinforcement does not have a significant impact on increasing stresses while increasing the elasticity module of the structural reinforcement leads to an increase in temperature stresses. The difference in the derived stress values for a beam with methyl methacrylate reinforcement with a thickness of 10 mm and 20 mm, at elasticity module E=15,000 MPa, is up to 3 % at positive and negative temperatures. It has been found that there is a change in the nature of the distribution of temperature stresses across the height of the beam at the contact surface of the reinforced concrete beam and methyl methacrylate reinforcement. The value of temperature stresses in the beam with methyl methacrylate reinforcement and exposed to the positive and negative ambient temperatures increases by three times. It was established that the value of temperature stresses is affected by a difference in the temperature of the reinforced concrete beam and reinforcement, as well as the physical and mechanical parameters of the investigated structural materials of the beam and the structural reinforcement with methyl methacrylate

Key Parameter

In this study, an experiment platform was built up to determine the key parameter, mass transfer coefficient, of the ventilation and dehumidification process in main cable of suspension bridge. On the basis of experimental studies, an empirical formula of the mass transfer coefficient was obtained, which can greatly contribute to control the content of moisture in the main cable of suspension bridges.
