Study on Stresses Distribution Pattern of Wide Box Steel Girder of Arch Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

Shell elements were used to simulate the wide box girder of arch bridge. Different load cases on the arch bridge were calculated and the stress distribution pattern of the wide girder was obtained. The results show that the stresses of the top plate and the bottom plate are non-uniformity along transverse direction at same section, the maximum non-uniformity coefficient of the top plate and the bottom plate are 1.89 and 1.73 respectively. To arch bridge with large ratio of width to length, the transverse stress of girder should not be neglected and the combined stress should be used to determine the structure safety.
