Numerical Analysis for Installation of Horizontal Steel Tie Rod in Inclined-Column Bridge

Abstract:

The installation of horizontal steel tie rod is a critical step during the construction of RC inclined-column bridges. With the aim to ensure the construction safety and to prestress the tie rod accurately, three construction schemes are simulated using the finite element method. According to the simulation, the reasonable tensioning methods are recommended which created a sound theoretical basis to the selection and improvement of construction method.
