Abstract

For enhancing the efficiency of cantilever casting construction in a bridge, a novel rhombus traveling track for a hanging basket was developed and optimized. The business-oriented software called MIDAS was applied to analyze the mechanical properties of the hanging basket with a full load and a control load. The strength and distortion of the walking mechanism are within the specified range when the maximum beam unit internal force is 149.69 MPa, which is less than the allowable stress of steel of 175 Mpa, and the anti-overturning safety factor of the hanging basket is 2.5, which meets the requirements. Through the comparative analysis of the key components and the finite element calculation, it was found that there is about a 30% redundancy in the structure performance. Therefore, further optimization of each structure was carried out, and the front elevation of the main truss of 20° was achieved. It obtained the best performance in all aspects.
