Internal Force Calculation of Two-Way Curved Arch Bridge

Abstract

Because of two-way curved arch bridge with low design load, less structural steel, improper construction, overloading and poor integrity, when the bridge structure can’t satisfy the carrying capacity and traffic capacity requirements, we urgently need reinforce the bridge, which has become an important link of safety assessment and insurance of the bridge structures. Internal force calculation of two-way curved arch bridge is done, and calculation conclusions of Aohan Bridge are shown. Plane rod unit’s calculation results show that the bridge under the action of steam-20, hang-100 loads, eccentricity of the section at the arch feet in main arch ring beyond allowable eccentricity, a state of large eccentric's stress appears, and on surface of the arch feet appeared tensile crack in the load simulation. The calculation results of the main arch ring shows that a phenomenon of stress concentration exists in the arch feet, in addition to the influence of big eccentric. Technology processing should be considered when do the arch feet reinforcement. Data from the arch ring calculation results, the bridge has certain overload potential. But according to the bending moment distribution, strengthen the resistance bending moment in the arch feet, an allow full play to the potential of concrete iron in the arch rib under the premise of reinforced the positive bending moment.
