Abstract:

There are few researches on seismic response of reinforced concrete rib arch bridges at present; therefore, it is necessary to analyze seismic performance of this kind of bridges. Based on the engineering background of a three-span reinforced concrete rib arch bridge, a full bridge finite element model is built to analyze the structural dynamic characteristic and seismic response of the bridge. The internal forces and displacements of each key section is compared and discussed when the bridge is excited by horizontal unidirectional ground motion or the combination of vertical and horizontal ground motion. The structural seismic response calculated with different analysis methods is compared. The research results of this study can be used as a reference for the seismic design of similar bridges.

Abstract:

Temperature makes greatly differences on concrete in many aspects, including stress, strain and deformation, especially for arch concrete bridge structure. Some software can compute theoretical deformation, stress and bending moment of bridge structure due to temperature load, such as Midas Civil. In recent years, in order to learn about conditions of structure, many bridges have installed the healthy monitoring system. In this research, the monitoring data lasting approach a year was obtained from Haierwa Bridge, a concrete truss arch bridge, in Hebei province. The bridge belongs to Xuanda Highway, which undertook the main traffic flow of coal transportation. The proportion of heavy vehicles, exceeding 50t, ups to 30%, different with common highway. The objective of this paper is to monitor and analyse the deformation of concrete truss arch bridge due to air temperature change. Firstly, results show that the daily tendencies of temperature and bridge vertical deformation at mid-span, L/4 and arch foot in the winter and summer. The linear relationship was calculated between the temperature and deformation of critical sections based on the monitoring data. In addition, the finite element model was established to calculate the theoretical value, and further compared with practice values.

Abstract:

As the requirements of traffic functions and urban landscape, a reinforced concrete arch- deck bridge is designed with archaized connective corridors. The main dimensions and drawings are introduced and the static analytical results of the bridge are discussed in this paper. The numerical model was built by the integrated solution system for bridge and civil engineering- MIDAS/Civil. The results show that the temperature of bridge and the horizontal shift at arch toes due to sedimentation play important roles sensitively influencing the bending moments and displacements of control sections. Compared numerical results of the bridge only with dead loads, the maximum bending moments and displacements would reach 3.81 times and 6.52 times respectively. The axial force of arch is mainly resulted from dead loads, which gradually increases from arch crown to arch toes. The design and numerical results would give some references to similar bridges.

Abstract:

With the span of CFST (Concrete Filled Steel Tube) arch bridges getting much longer, the dynamic performance of them is becoming more and more advanced. In order to evaluate the structure of CFST arch bridges in a comprehensive way, it is necessary to take the dynamic performance of this kind of bridges into consideration. Methods of doing the dynamic analysis can be divided into two kinds: one is traditional theoretical analytical method, which is only suitable for simple arch bridge models; the other is FEM (Finite Element Methods), which is able to simulate the real structure and lead to more precise results. This paper attempts to study the calculation theory of free vibration characteristic of arch bridges through theoretical analytical method, and then it will do an empirical study on the dynamic performance of a CFST arch bridge by FEM to test the conclusion of theoretical study.

Abstract:

In order to reduce loss of terrorist attacks or accidental explosion accidents to traffic facilities of the state and society, antiknock safety of long-span bridge needs to be further studied. A deck arch bridge calculation model of fluid-structure interaction was established, and explicit dynamic analysis was presented to study the dynamic response of long-span arch bridge under blast loading, and the explosion effect to the overall structure of the bridge was analysed. The results show that the area around explosion center, has local large deformation and heavy damage degree, while a little far region has low deformation and damage degree; When explosives is located on the deck, the damage of blast-impact load on the main arch ring can be neglected, which is advantageous to the late bridge repair work. The results of this article can be provided as important theoretical reference to antiknock and explosion-proof of bridges in the future work.

Abstract:

Zangmu Bridge is a concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridge along the Sichuan-Tibet railway in Tibet, with a main span of 430 m. Owing to the unique temperature conditions in Tibet, there have been no large-scale experimental studies on the thermal load design of CFST bridges in this area. Therefore, to determine the thermal load calculation parameters and thermal effects of Zangmu Bridge, a long-term continuous field test was conducted to measure the temperature variations in a test arch with the same pipe diameter. The test results were then compared with current design specifications and relevant literature. Finally, the thermal effects in a CFST arch bridge were analysed using the finite element method. According to the results, the following recommendations were made: (1) the average temperature of concrete in the pipe after the formation of concrete strength should be used to calculate the closure temperature of CFST arch bridges in Tibet; however, the standard calculation formula was still applicable; (2) the daily average temperature in extreme weather should be taken as the maximum and minimum effective temperature; (3) we presented recommended values for the influence range and gradient temperature for a single large-diameter pipe; and (4) a refined finite element model that included the arch base should be used to verify the temperature effects during bridge design.

Abstract:

The SRC (steel-frame reinforced concrete) arch bridge is an important part of the development of arch bridges. Scholars worldwide have studied it from various aspects because of its stronger stiffness and stability than other types of bridges especially when crossing the canyon. The steel frame is a stress bracket during construction. Concrete becomes the main axial-pressure bearing structure when it fills the inner pipe and the encased frame. This article mainly focuses on the crack problems of SRC arch bridging during the postconstruction operation, local model of the midspan arch rib, and the equivalent relationship between the coefficient of expansion and the temperature of concrete. This study uses a cooling method to simulate the shrinkage process with detailed analysis of three properties including concrete shrinkage, temperature gradients, and concentrated hanger rod force. It is concluded that the SRC arch bridge will have large tensile stress on both inner and outer surfaces of slab and web when the temperature changes, and it is the main cause of cracks. The results agree well with measured data. At last, we come up with some reference suggestions in the design and construction of similar bridges in the future.

Abstract:

This paper studies the dynamic response and the impact factor of the concrete-filled steel tubular (CFST) arch bridge named Hejiang River Bridge under the moving vehicles. Research shows that the impact factor of CFST arch bridge at the vault and 1/4 arch rib is greatly influenced by the road surface roughness (RSR), and it is increased with the grade of RSR increases, meanwhile it is different at apiece section position of the arch bridge. The impact factor doesn't vary monotonically with the speed of vehicle, it appears the maximum when the speed of vehicle is between 20-25 km/h and 35-50 km/h, and the impact factors of different cross-sections are not just the same with the changing regularity of speed. Therefore, the dynamic characteristics of different structural components should be calculated in designing CFST arch bridge for discrepant dynamic characteristics of various constructional elements.

Abstract:

This paper presents an evaluation study of the performance of reinforced concrete arch bridge structures under earthquake load. The study is aimed to investigate the seismic performance of Wreksodiningrat Bridge, located in the province of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. This bridge is a three spans reinforced concrete arch bridge with a main span length of 75 m and two side spans with a length of 35 m, respectively. This study is a part of a large project carried out by the Ministry of Public Works to study the impact of the new 2016 Indonesia Seismic Design Code for Bridges (SNI 2833:2016). The main objective of this paper is to determine the displacement demands due to earthquake load based on the new seismic code design for bridges, SNI 2833:2016. In addition, demand capacity ratios (D/C) of the main structural components, such as the compression arch and main column (pier) at the fixed support, are also reviewed in this paper. The analysis was carried out using nonlinear modal pushover analysis. The arch bridge modeling is three dimensional, where structural elements such as beams, columns, and compression arches are modeled as frame elements. The plastic hinges are modeled as fiber hinges with unconfined and confined concrete material stress-strain relationship following Mander formula. The analysis result shows that the displacement demands of the bridge are 2.9 cm and 20 cm in the longitudinal and transverse direction, respectively. The D/C ratios of the compression arch due to demand earthquake load are 0.74 and 0.95 in the longitudinal and transverse direction of the bridge, while the D/C ratios of the pier are 0.15 and 0.80 in the longitudinal and transverse direction. Based on the above results, it is concluded that the studied bridge is able to withstand the seismic load requirements in the new Indonesia Seismic Design Code.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to study the shape of the concrete arched bridge by particle swarm optimization algorithm. Design/methodology/approach Finite element model of open-spandrel concrete arch bridges was constructed using a number of parameters. Design variables of optimization problem include height of skewback abutment, height of arch crown, position of crown with respect to global axes and left and right radius of up and down arches. After parametric modeling of bridge geometry and application of multi-objective particle swarm optimization, the shape optimization of bridge arch was determined. The concrete volume used in bridge substructure construction and maximum principal tensile stress of concrete arch body was adopted as two objective functions in this study. The optimization problem aims to minimize the two objective functions. Geometric and stress constraints are also included in the problem. Findings Based on the results presented in the paper, the Pareto front is generated which helps the decision-maker or designer to pick the compromise solution from among 20 optimum designs according to their subjective preferences or engineering judgment, respectively. Moreover, to help the decision-maker, the two multiple objective decision-making methods were used for selection of the best solution from among nondominated solutions. Originality/value This research aims to solve an interesting optimization problem in structural engineering. Optimization of arch bridges structure was done for reducing construction costs and increasing safety for the first time.

Abstract:

The paper deals with evaluation of experimental data collected during the Oparno arch bridge construction and with subsequent analysis of the construction process and long-term behavior with regard to rheological properties of concrete. The Oparno valley bridge is composed of two separate concrete arch structures with spans of 135 metres (this is currently the second longest span of concrete arch bridge in the Czech Republic). It was built using cantilever casting technology with temporary cable-stays and auxiliary pylons. The data recorded for this study include detailed geodetic measurement of the bridge structure during construction, along with measured strains and temperatures in the arches. Most of the data was measured during the bridge construction in 2008 and 2009. Data significant for long term behavior of structure are still being collected. Verification of different concrete material models and their suitability for design of arch bridges built by free cantilevering will be a main result of the analysis. On the basis of a detailed comparison of numerical results and measured deflections, strains and temperatures, it is possible to quantify the impact of rheological properties of the material (or their individual input parameters) on the resulting structural behavior. Unlike previous research, the examined structure is made of reinforced concrete (not prestressed) and consists of compact solid section and in the final state it is mainly in compression.

The calculation formula of the vertical fundamental frequency of arch bridge has been given in current design codes, in which the rise-span ratio is the only variable on condition that the structure mass and stiffness are known. However, the dynamic properties of long-span concrete filled steel tube arch bridges have their own characteristics, which are influenced by a series of factors. Thus this article establishes a space model of a concrete-filled steel tube arch bridge. By analyzing the main design parameters’ influence on the structure dynamic properties, including rise-span ratios, arch-axis coefficient and wide-span ratios, some of conclusions has been made, which can be used for further research of the impact effect and earthquake dynamic response, and provide the necessary basis for the dynamic design of bridges of this kind

Abstract:

This paper continues the previous study on clarifying the time-dependent behaviour of Beipanjiang Bridge ‒ a reinforced concrete arch bridge with concrete-filled steel tubular stiffened skeleton. The obtained prediction models and the Finite Element Models were used to simulate the long-term behaviour and stress redistribution of the concrete arch bridge. Three-dimensional beam elements simulated the stiffened skeleton and surrounding concrete. Then, a parameters study was carried out to analyse the time-dependent behaviour of the arch bridge influenced by different concrete creep and shrinkage models. The simulation results demonstrate that concrete creep and shrinkage have a significant influence on the time-dependent behaviour of the concrete arch bridge. After the bridge completion, the Comite Euro-International du Beton mean deviation of displacements obtained by 1990 CEBFIP Model Code: Design Code model and fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model are 3.4%, 31.9% larger than the results predicted by the modified fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model. The stresses between the steel and the concrete redistribute with time because of the concrete long-term effect. The steel will yield if the fib Model Code for Concrete Structures 2010 model is used in the analysis. The stresses in a different part of the surrounding concrete are non-uniformly distributed.

Abstract:

Currently there are two bridges older than 120 years under reconstruction in Slovakia. One of them is the Old Bridge in Bratislava, which has been built in 1891 and has a steel superstructure supported by concrete piers. The other one is the Monier Arch Bridge in Krásno nad Kysucou, which has been built in 1892. Since only limited information about the properties of such an old concrete is available, it was almost impossible for the designer to verify the load bearing capacity of these bridges and to design their reconstruction efficiently. To verify the properties of these concretes drill cores were made on both bridges, some of them being more than 20 meters long [17]. After that the measured concrete properties were used to confirm or modify the reconstruction method proposed in the preliminary design. Our paper deals with some mechanical properties measured on these more than 120 years old concretes.

Abstract:

Steel and concrete composite girder began to be used in arch bridge. For the existing of shear lag, the concrete deck in same cross section did not bear identical stress completely. No stipulations for effective width of concrete deck of composite beam in arch bridge are given in current design specifications and codes, which causes difficulties in analyzing the mechanical behavior of composite arch bridge by beam-column method. In this paper, the mechanics calculation for a multi-span arch bridge with continuous composite beam is conducted. Stresses distribution pattern of concrete deck in transverse direction and the variation of effective width of concrete in longitudinal direction are studied. The degree of impact of effective width caused by varying loads on structure and by varying some details on structure is discussed.

Abstract:

This paper presents the inspection of the condition and the design for strengthening of an existing railway arch bridge constructed in 1854. The original arch bridge is constructed with 5 layers of bricks in the arch and granite blocks in the foundation on top of an arrangement of frame made of timber and carried by piles. From the inspection it was concluded that the bricks in the arch was damaged due to freeze-thaw. It was also concluded that the timber structure in the foundation was rotten. The bridge is crossing a small creek. The environment is very sensitive. The access to the construction site is passing through landscape subject to preservation. The strengthening project included the arrangement of a new reinforced concrete arch. The arch was anchored with glued reinforcement bonded to the existing brick arch. The reinforcement and formwork was placed above the creek without disturbing the fauna in the water. The concrete was pumped into a form under the existing arch. After curing of the concrete arch, the strengthening of the foundation was initiated. It was planned to construct a bottom slab under the creek, which was able to carry the new concrete arch. In order to get access for the construction work the creek water was pumped through pipes suspended under the top of the new concrete arch. The procedures to handle the very delicate situation of replacing the foundation, while the bridge was in operation, and also protecting the environment is described in detail in the presentation. The process included high speed concrete curing, working processes under extreme narrow conditions and a very tight schedule.

Abstract:

With the continuous construction of 500 m concrete-filled steel-tube (CFST) arch bridges such as the Bosideng Yangtze River Bridge and the Hejiang Changjiang Highway Bridge, the deviation between the dead pressure line and the arch axis produced by extant arch axis optimization methods increases. Therefore, an arch axis optimization method for long-span CFST arch bridges with a truss section must be designed. Following the optimization of the truss arch axis, this study develops the minimum section eccentricity method that aims to optimize the arch axis of long-span CFST arch bridges. To minimize the main tube eccentricity of the truss arch, the bending moment of the main tubes is reduced by applying the main tube eccentricity method iteratively in a finite element model. Afterward, a smooth and reasonable arch axis is fitted by applying a cubic spline interpolation function in MATLAB. The entire optimization procedure is performed using the Bosideng Yangtze River Bridge as an example. Compared with that of optimal arch axis line types (e.g., parabola and catenary) and other traditional arch axes, the bending moment of main tubes optimized by the proposed method is substantially lower and more uniformly distributed along the arch axis span. The mechanical properties of the finished bridge, including its strength, stiffness, and stability, are all improved, thereby verifying the feasibility of using the proposed method to optimize the arch axis of CFST arch bridges with a truss section.

With the application of the composition material-concrete-filled-steel-tube (CFST) in civil engineering, the crossing ability of arch bridge gets advanced development. Therefore, it is of interesting to study the stability of such long-span arch bridges, especially which have small width, for the bridge’s safety under long term operation. The present study focuses on studies the transverse stability of long-span arch bridges with small width. To this purpose, a deck type CFST arch-bridge in Gansu Province is adopted as an example. The arch bridge has a span of 180 m, and its width-span ratio is 1/25.7. The finite element method with a special beam element is employed to analyze the stability. The analyses are carried out for the transverse stability of the bridge during construction and under service, respectively. Furthermore, the influence of the spandrel structure and deck elastic restraints to the stability is investigated taking account of geometrical and material nonlinearity.

Abstract:

In recent years, concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) was developed and used extensively in civil engineering in China. In this paper, the method for stability analysis of long-span CFST arch bridge was introduced. Based on Jingyang River Bridge in Hubei province of China and finite element method, the spatial model was set up. Both linear and nonlinear stability of long-span CFST arch bridge in construction process were analyzed. The result indicated the influence of geometrical nonlinearity was small and the influence of material nonlinearity was evident. So, for analyzing the stability of long-span CFST arch bridge, the influence of geometrical nonlinearity and material nonlinearity must be considered at the same time. The results of paper were used to provide the basis for the construction control of the bridge.

Abstract:

Most large-diameter concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) arch bridges adopt spiral-welded steel tubes for technical and economic reasons. However, during the steel tube manufacturing process, the welding temperature and other factors lead to a decreased spiral-welded seam (SWS) strength initially. Furthermore, for the CFST arch bridges using ordinary concrete, the laitance and air void defects inevitably appear, especially 20 years ago when there was no air-entraining agent in China. This paper presents a group of scale model experiments and finite element model analysis of the bearing capacity of a serviced CFST arch bridge rib with decreased SWS strength and concrete air void composite defects, under small eccentric axial compression on ultrasonic scanning field data. Parametric analyses were also performed to investigate the influence of the air void and SWS strength on the bearing capacity of the rib. Finally, a new ultimate strength index of the rib with composite defects was proposed, and a simplified formula was presented to estimate the effects of the air void and SWS strength decrease on the ultimate strength of the CFST arch bridge rib.

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete rib arch bridge is widely used in southwest of china, therefore, it is practically significant to assess the seismic performance of this kind of bridge. In this paper, a deck-type double ribs arch bridge which has eleven large continuous spans is taken for instance. The finite element calculation models for the bridge are established considering arch effect. The M-method principle is used to simulate the pile-soil-structure interaction (PSSI), and multiple Ritz vector method is introduced to analyze the dynamic characteristics. Moreover, the seismic response of arch bridge is analyzed by the response spectrum method. Numeral results show that, the dominant vibration mode of the Multi-span continuous deck-type reinforced concrete rib arch bridge is out-of-plane mode, owing to the weak lateral stiffness. The arch effect can reinforce the longitudinal stiffness of bridge, but weaken the lateral stiffness. Combined with horizontal direction orthogonal seismic action, arch effect can significantly reduce the axial force of rib, while increase the moment and shear of the arch foot and the displacement of the arch. The rib arch, the 1/4 points and the junctions of ribs and beams are the seismic control points. PSSI is the key factor of bridge seismic.

Abstract:

Yelang Lake Bridge is the largest cantilevered single-chamber reinforced concrete arch bridge in China, with a net span of 210 m. In this article, an equation for positioning the height of the formwork before pouring of the arch ring segment was derived, which was suitable for the construction control of the long-span reinforced concrete arch bridge such as the Yelang Lake Bridge. The arch ring segment elevation calculation equation was derived under the two typical working conditions that the concrete pouring of the arch ring segment is completed and the buckle cable and anchor cable tensioning are completed. In addition, two typical working conditions of arch ring segment concrete pouring and cable tensioning were evaluated. Then, a new type of cradle and loading test of the cradle, which meet the requirements of the long segment pouring of the arch ring, were introduced. Finally, the measurement deviation during the construction of the arch segment was analyzed. The linear control results of the arch ring showed that the arch ring segment elevation calculation formula could effectively ensure the accuracy of the arch ring segment construction process under the two typical conditions of completion of concrete pouring of the arch ring segment and completion of the buckle and anchor cable tensioning. The maximum deviation is only 3.1 mm. The line shape after the completion of the arch ring construction was in good agreement with the target line shape, and the deviation between the measured value and the target value was only 2.5 cm, which met the engineering requirements.

Abstract:

Reinforced concrete bridges may have various systems: Beam (with simply supported or continuous beams), Frame, Arch, or combined of it.. Beam reinforced concrete bridges are the most common type, Spans with plate structure are generally used to cover gaps of 6–18 m. Ribbed spans with main beams supporting the plate of .The bridge floor are used to cover gaps of more than 12m. For gaps of more than 40 m, beam spans frequently have box shaped cross sections. Arch systems are most appropriate for bridges on stable soil. The spans of beam-type reinforced concrete bridges are up to 200 m; those of archer in forced concrete bridges, up to 300 m. The main advantages of reinforced concrete bridges are durability and relatively low maintenance cost. Precast reinforced-concrete bridges, using finished plant-Manufactured components, are the type primarily built in the USSR. Methods of suspension assembly of spans and delivery of precast components to local areas by ships are extremely efficient in the construction of large reinforced-concrete bridges.
