Abstract
At present, China's large span continuous rigid frame bridge (CRFB) has made rapid development, and has been applied in the railway bridges. This paper based on finite element analysis software ANSYS, using the simplified algorithm, establish a line - bridge - pier integration model for calculation of continuous welded rail (CWR) on bridge, the continuous rigid bridge and continuous rigid frame bridge (CGB) in two different conditions were compared and analyzed. The calculation results show that: the rail expansion force, bending force, braking force, rail broken gap of CRFB are smaller than that of the CGB of same beam span, in CWR, CRFB has obvious advantages, it should be popularized.; equivalent temperature span of CRFB are smaller than that of the CGB of same beam span, so the CRFB is less affected by the temperature; because of the pier and girder consolidation of CRFB, favorable to CWR, but due to the bending effect of bridge piers can lead to beam produces larger vertical deformation, thus affecting the track smoothness, which must be noticed in design.
