Study on Internal Force Effect of a High-Speed Rail (40+56+40) m Prestressed Concrete Continuous Beam Bridge

Abstract

The continuous beam bridge is a kind of bridge type used widely on the project. With the design theory and construction technology, prestressed concrete continuous beam bridge shown strong vitality. This design is a high-speed rail (40+56+40) m prestressed concrete continuous beam bridge design, whose width is 12.2m and its maximum Design speed is 300km/h. The form of the railway is double line which is 4.8m far away, and the cross-sectional slope is 2%.ZK load was applied on the bridge. A three-span P.C continuous Beam structure with variable cross-section is used in this bridge. The girder body adopts single cell and single box, the height of beam takes quadratic parabola relation, which is 5m high at the middle fulcrum, while at the side fulcrum and the mid-span is 2.5m. The design uses Midas/Civil to establish the finite element model that is reasonable and simple, analyzing the structure behavior of the girder body under loading, especially the internal forces of bridge structure under dead load, live load and additional force.
