Structure Design and Mechanics Calculation of Beam Truss Aqueduct

Article Preview

Abstract:

Aqueduct is a overhead canal building spanning river, road, hill, and valley, and it is also one of the most widely used crossing building. Usually by simplifying the actual structure ( supporting simplified, pole simplified, load simplified), the mechanical model of beam truss aqueduct can be attained and be calculated. It is an important step to understand its stress characteristics and structural features, so aqueduct model is hand-made with white cardboard and glue materials. By simulating the water flowing with standard sand, aqueduct model is loaded and the test is finished. At the same time , the numerical calculation is performed with the structural mechanics solver and ANSYS finite element software, the results are compared with test data. The results show the upper and lower beam of Aqueduct model support mostly the bending deformation, truss rods mostly stand the uniaxial tensile or compression deformation. The reasonable selection shape can helps to make mechanical properties of the rods better. The appropriate arrangement of upper, lower chords and ventral pole position can makes the bending moment, shear and axial force value of the bar distribute reasonable, so the application range of beam aqueduct is improved greatly.
