Taking the three-span pre-stressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge as an engineering example, MIDAS Civil was utilized to establish a spatial finite element model and the interaction between pile foundation and the soil was simulated by equivalent soil spring. In addition to analyzing shearing force, bending moment and stress of the primary beam's characteristic section under different loads, a response spectrum method and time history analysis were adopted to conduct seismic response analysis respectively. In this case, performance of the bridge could be comprehensively evaluated. Relevant analysis results indicate that internal force of the large-span pre-stressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge is mainly induced by gravity and pre-stress of the structure; section stresses of the primary beam satisfy the corresponding specification and structural safety can be achieved in a state of operation. Moreover, computed results obtained by the response spectrum method is more conservative than those of the time history analysis. In terms of continuous rigid frame bridge, different seismic directions should be taken into consideration during structural seismic analysis at different construction stages.

The selected high-span continuous rigid frame bridge for studying is Mangjiedu Bridge in this paper. Based on the principle of structure dynamics and the method of seismic response analysis, the finite element model of the main bridge in Mangjiedu Bridge under Midas-civil was built according to the structural features, site conditions and seismic fortification intensity of the bridge. Then the characteristics of main bridge structure were studied using Lanzcos modal analysis method, and the seismic responses of main bridge are studied by earthquake response spectrum analysis and time history analysis respectively. The results show that the fundamental frequency of the main bridge is 0.1943Hz, and the transverse vibration mode shapes are most remarkable in the former 10 ordered types of vibration of main bridge. The main bridge is in the conditions of elastic range and does not failure under E1 earthquake. Both response spectrum analysis and time history analysis show that the largest displacement along the main bridge appears at the top of pier and the largest transverse displacement appears in the central position of main span. It also shows that the maximum shear and maximum moment occur at the bottom of main pier.

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.

Abstract: In general, the material properties, loads, resistance of the prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge in different construction stages are time-varying. So, it is essential to monitor the internal force state when the bridge is in construction. Among them, how to assess the safety is one of the challenges. As the continuous monitoring over a long-term period can increase the reliability of the assessment, so, based on a large number of monitored strain data collected from the structural health monitoring system (SHMS) during construction, a calculation method of the punctiform time-varying reliability is proposed in this paper to evaluate the stress state of this type bridge in cantilever construction stage by using the basic reliability theory. At the same time, the optimal stress distribution function in the bridge mid-span base plate is determined when the bridge is closed. This method can provide basis and direction for the internal force control of this type bridge in construction process. So, it can reduce the bridge safety and quality accidents in construction stages.

To study the effects of seismic waves directions on bridges, the time history analytic method was used. Two bridge types, the railway continuous curved rigid frame bridge and the railway continuous straight rigid frame bridge, have been taken into account. Both the two same span bridges were used for comparative analysis about free vibration and seismic response feature, then some practical application conclusions were obtained. The longitudinal and transversal seismic waves produce the maximum reaction values. Besides, the pier bottom sections and the beam sections at the piers top are the critical sections in the bridges. In addition, this small radius curved bridge can be designed as the straight bridge in seismic design.

Rigid Frame Bridge

Over-deflection of beam in continuous rigid frame bridge has become an serious problem in recent years. The reason is complex. Some reseachers think that the bad quality of sectional joints in cantilever construction will cause additional shearing deformation and affect the beam deflection, this idea need to be further studied. In the paper, two three-dimensional models are built up based on a factual bridge, the simulation method of joints is studied, the influence of shearing deformation caused by sectional joints on beam deflection in construction is analysed. The study shows that shearing deformation of sectional joints has influence on deflection in cantilever construction, and it shouldn’t be ignored. This may be important to improve the loading property and renovate the design concept of this kind of bridge.
