Girder crack of concrete single pylon cable-stayed bridge

Abstract

Taking the reinforcement and maintenance project of a concrete cable-stayed bridge as the background, aiming at the stress cracks on the web of the box girder of the main bridge after several years of operation, starting from the actual situation of design and construction, the integral calculation model of the bridge is established by Midas Civil and the local analysis and calculation model of the main girder is established by the general finite element software. Four kinds of analysis and calculation models are analyzed. Finally, it is shown that the web cracks of the bridge are caused by the cable tension when the bridge is cantilevered. On this basis, the concrete and feasible bonded steel plate method is proposed to repair and strengthen the cracks, which is of certain reference significance for the reinforcement and maintenance of the same type of bridge cracks in the future.
