Abstract

In order to study the reasonable cable force of a highway and rail dual-purpose steel truss cable-stayed bridge in the completion state, this paper employs four methods, i.e. the rigid supported continuous beam method, bending minimum energy method, influence matrix method and BP neural network method combined with a genetic algorithm. The Baijusi Yangtze river bridge, with a main span of 660 m in the completion state, is chosen as the object of study. Through comparative analysis, it is found that the rigid supported continuous beam combined with the influence matrix method can determine the reasonable cable force of the highway and rail dual-purpose steel truss cable-stayed bridge more quickly and effectively.

Highlights

  • With the development of steel strength and steel truss cable-stayed bridge construction technology, the steel truss cable-stayed bridge has aroused increasing attention in the field of long-span highway and rail dual-purpose cable-stayed bridges [1]

  • It is critical to determine a set of cable forces which ensure a cable-stayed bridge satisfies reasonable completion state requirements [3]

  • In most cases, the cable force in the reasonable completion state is optimized by a single method

Summary

Introduction

With the development of steel strength and steel truss cable-stayed bridge construction technology, the steel truss cable-stayed bridge has aroused increasing attention in the field of long-span highway and rail dual-purpose cable-stayed bridges [1]. There are numerous methods of optimizing the cable force of cable-stayed bridges in a reasonable completion state at home and abroad. Traditional research methods are no longer applicable for optimizing the cable force in a reasonable completion state. The existing methods of improving the cable force of steel truss cable-stayed bridges are rare and difficult to promote [8]. By summarizing the previous studies and taking the Baijusi Yangtze river bridge in Chongqing as the object of study, the reasonable cable force of a highway and rail dual-purpose steel cable-stayed bridge in the completion state is analyzed, and a method for quickly determining the reasonable cable force is determined. In most cases, the cable force in the reasonable completion state is optimized by a single method. There are few cases where two or more methods are combined for cable force optimization analysis
