Nonlinear Finite Element Model

In this paper, a formulation for calculating ultimate bending capacity was created. A nonlinear finite element model was established using ANSYS with right material parameters for prestressed concrete box girder with steel plate and concrete composite strengthening (SPCCS).A comparison was made between analysis results and function formula data, and results show that the numerical result s of nonlinear static analysis are in good agreement with the formula results. Effect of SPCCS and steel plate strengthening was compared, and the results show that SPCCS does more effective.

The stress state of finished bridge and service stage is influenced by various closure schemes in cantilever construction of multi-span prestressed concrete box-girder bridge. Two typical bridges—multi-span prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge and girder bridge are investigated, The stress state in different closure schemes are analyzed using finite element(FE) analysis. Meanwhile, compared the healthy monitoring data, it has been found that taking the closure sequence from side span to middle span in cantilever construction of multi-span prestressed concrete box-girder bridge can lower stress of girder and pier in finished bridge stage, as well as reducing deformation of girder in service stage. Hence, the closure sequence from side span to middle span is more suitable for cantilever construction of multi-span prestressed concrete box-girder bridge.

Concrete Box Girder Bridges

A layered finite element model with material nonlinearity is developed to trace the nonlinear response of horizontally curved reinforced concrete box-girder bridges. Concrete is treated as an orthotropic nonlinear material and reinforcement is modeled as an elastoplastic strain-hardening material. Due to the fact that the flanges and webs of the structure are much different both in configuration and in the state of stresses, two types of facet shell elements, namely, the triangular generalized conforming element and the rectangular nonconforming element, are adopted to model them separately. A numerical example of a multi-cell box-girder bridge is given and the results are compared favourably with the experimental results previously obtained. Key words: finite element method, curved box-girder bridges, reinforced concrete, nonlinear analysis.
