Inspection and Evaluation of Load-Bearing Capacity of Single Tower Composite Girder Cable-Stayed Bridge

Abstract

In order to evaluate single tower composite girder Cable Bridge actual bearing capacity and working property on design using load, a single-tower composite girder cable-stayed bridge is taken as an example, by means of static load test, dynamic load test, reasonably measures evaluates the single tower composite girder cable-stayed bridge's bearing capacity. The static load test measure static properties of bridge structure (static strain, static deflection, etc.), dynamic load test, measure the dynamic properties of bridge structure (vibration frequency, damping, forced vibration amplitude, impact coefficient, etc.). Results show that the rigidity strength integrity and dynamic characteristics of bridge structure are favorable; the structure’s bearing capacity is favorable.
