Mechanical Analysis for Anchorage Zone Connecting Main Cable and Main Girger of Self-Anchored Suspension Bridge

Abstract:

Self-anchored suspension bridge is a self-balancing system by anchored the main cable at each end of main girder. With complicated configuration and important rule of transferring tension in main cable to main girder, the anchorage region is one of the most critical issues during designing a self-anchored suspension bridge. It is impossible to fully understand the mechanical behavior only by spatial beam and column model but spatial refined model. Because the behavior of anchorage region is greatly influenced by its boundary condition, in this paper, reasonable length of main girder in calculation model is discussed based on the spatial refined model. The mechanical behavior of initial anchorage structure is calculated. A modified anchorage configuration is proposed according to the stresses distribution of anchorage zone. Calculation results show the modified anchorage configuration can make the force transferring smoothly and decrease the stresses of anchorage structure, and it can be referenced to similar bridges.
