Effect Evaluation of Web Reinforcement of Continuous Rigid Frame Bridge

Abstract

Based on a prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge reinforcement project, the finite element model of the bridge was established, which includes two kinds of work condition of before and after bridge reinforcement. The finite element model had analyzed the change of natural frequency, deflection and bending stiffness after the web reinforcement of a prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge, in which we have got analysis results that web reinforcement bridge deflection is less than before reinforcement, and the changing law is obvious as inversely proportional relationship, at the same time, the changing law of natural vibration frequency of web reinforcement bridge and original bridge is not obvious, so only deflection but natural vibration frequency can effect evaluation of web reinforcement of continuous rigid frame bridge.
