FEM Study on Shear Stiffness of Sloping Segmental Joints in Cantilever Casting Concrete Bridges

Abstract:

Based on the conclusion of shear stiffness experiment of vertical segmental joint in cantilever casting concrete bridges (CCCB), finite element models (FEM) study was conducted to assess the shear stiffness of sloping segmental joints in this paper. Through the comparison of calculating relative vertical displacement at joint between vertical and sloping joint, it can be educed that the shear stiffness of slope joint between 5º ~15º increasing as the increasing of slope angle is consistently higher than vertical joint.
