Temperature Field Calculation of Mass Concrete Anchor

Abstract:

Gravity anchor is one of essential forced components of steady suspension bridge. The paper takes the example of the finite element numerical simulation of steady suspension bridge gravity anchor, main contents include: First, performance parameters of concrete and hydration heat of cement is collected, the one-fourth block of anchor model is established by large-scale general finite element software ANSYS. The process of establishing finite element analysis model includes the input of the model parameters, the boundary conditions set of finite element model, and the mesh of finite element analysis model. Then, the numerical simulation computation to temperature field of gravity anchor is carried by finite element software ANSYS. Finally, from the temperature field distribution curves, studying the temperature distribution rule of concrete pouring and drawing some conclusions.
