Study on Lateral Distribution Coefficients of Hollow Slab Bridges After Reinforced by Pasted Steel Plates

Abstract

This paper adopts a new method of pasting steel plate to restore the transverse connection of hollow slab bridge, so that the strengthened bridge can meet the requirements under the state of serviceability. The original beam of the concrete hollow slab with a span of 8m from the Suizhong to Shenyang section of Jing-Shen highway was reinforced by a method of pasting steel plates. In the test the eccentric load condition was loaded and the abaqus software was used for numerical calculation after the reinforcement. Based on the theory of load transverse distribution coefficient of bridge structure, different calculation methods were used to obtain the transverse load distribution coefficient of the strengthened test beam, and it is verified that the hinged plate method can be used to calculate the hollow slab beam strengthened with steel plate. In addition, combined with previous calculations, test results and numerical analysis, this paper discusses the restoration effect of the new type of pasted steel plate reinforcement method on the bridge lateral connection. The results show that the hinged plate method can be used to calculate the load lateral distribution coefficient of hollow slab beams strengthened by pasted steel plates. therefore, the pasted steel plate reinforcement method can effectively restore the horizontal connection between the hollow slabs and meet the use of bridge structures.
