The Study on Bearing Capacity Influence for the Steel Tube Deformation in CFST Arch Bridge

Abstract:

The theoretical formulas of the ultimate bearing capacity and critical stress of the deformed steel tube in a CFST arch bridge are gotten by the local section steel tube analysis and the elastic buckling analysis of steel tube, At the same time, the ultimate bearing capacity and critical stress of the deformed steel tube are computed by using ANSYS finite element analysis software and compared, which verifies the theoretical formulas are correctness and feasibility. Finally, a reduction factor formula of the ultimate bearing capacity of the tube before and after deformation is gotten; it directly reflected the reduction level of the ultimate bearing capacity of the deformed steel tube.
