Abstract

This paper uses the theory of structural stressing state to study the working characteristics of three multi-span continuous steel-concrete composite box girder (SCCBG) models with different prestress levels. Firstly, the generalized strain energy density (GSED) is constructed to reveal the working state of the structure based on the experimental strain data, the Mann-Kendall (M-K) criterion is applied to distinguish the leap characteristics load points (P and Q) of the structural stressing state and defined as the “failure load”. It is used to update the existing structural “destruction” load to more clearly reflect the entire structural failure process. Then, the working state parameters of the cross-section are described (strain distribution mode, midspan deflection, crack width, etc.) to analyze the working behavior of the box girder model. Finally, the non-sample point interpolation method (NPI) is used to reasonably expand the experimental strain data, to verify the rationality of the characteristic load points, and the stressing state characteristics of box girders with different prestressed levels are further discussed.
