Effect of Local Concrete Strength Decline on High Piers' Nonlinear Stability

Article Preview

Abstract:

The nonlinear stability of three main piers of Xiniu bridge was analysed with RM Bridge V8i in this paper. The change of high pier’s nonlinear stability with the strength decline of high pier’s local concrete and variation of high pier’s height were also respectively researched.The results show that nonlinear stability coefficients will be lower if one segment of high pier’s concrete strength declines. It also indicate that the nonlinear stability coefficients drop is related to the decrease of the concrete strength, the distance between the segment at the bottom of pier, and the height of pier.
