Calculation and Analysis of Through Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Tied Arch Bridge

In order to understand the stress of small through tied arch bridge. In this paper, the finite element simulation analysis of Lu Shanqu bridge is carried out in the completion stage by using MADIS / civil software, and the tie bars, arch ribs and suspenders of the superstructure are monitored. The results show that the axial force of the arch rib of this bridge is reduced by the balance of the tie rod, and the bending moment of the tie rod is greatly reduced by the action of the suspender. The stress characteristics of the bridge type are internal statically indeterminate and external statically indeterminate structure.

Local stability of concrete arch bridge based on Ritz method

In order to minimize the self-weight and prevent local buckling failure of thin-walled box concrete arch bridges at the same time, the limit values of width-thickness ratios are deduced based on Ritz method and equivalent strut theory of arch bridge. A new method of determining sectional forms based on the limit values of width-thickness ratios is put forward. Based on Mupeng bridge, the theoretical results are verified by finite element software ANSYS. Results show that the limits of width-thickness ratios are related to concrete grade, equivalent calculation length and radius of gyration, the allowable minimum thickness of Mupeng bridge is 15 cm to avoid local buckling. The limit values of width-thickness ratios deduced in this paper are reasonable and this new method of determining sectional forms is simple and rational to apply in engineering. A scientific engineering calculation method on arch ring design is put forward and it can provide a theoretical basis for the design of thin-walled box concrete arch bridges constructed by cantilever pouring.
