Abstract
AbstractBecause a large longitudinal force exists in hybrid girder cable-stayed bridges due to the cable tension, its transfer mechanisms on the steel-concrete combination segment would be an important issue. In this study, experiments and theoretical analysis were conducted to characterize the longitudinal force transfer mechanisms of the steel-concrete combination segment in hybrid girder cable-stayed bridges. Five full-scale local structure specimens were designed and manufactured based on the original design of the steel-to-concrete transition zone according to a completed cable-stayed bridge in China. The specimens were subjected to monotonic loading and tested up to complete failure. The load-slip curves; stress distribution and failure modes, which varied with the thickness of the bearing plate; and the shear connector distribution were obtained. To simulate the test properly, calculation methods for predicting the shear connector capacity and corresponding load-slip curves were proposed based on t...
