Parameter Analysis on High-Pier's Effective Length Factor of Fabricated Beam Bridge

Abstract:

This paper illustrates the calculation method of effective length factor of the high-pier of fabricated beam bridge on the basis of Eulers formula by obtaining the critical force of first-order buckling according to the stability analysis. Engineering example is applied to calculate the effective length factor in the construction stage of fabricated beam bridge. Further, parameter analysis is used to study the variation of effective length factor and the influence of dead weight, non-ideal boundary conditions, the height and the radius of high-pier on it is evaluated. Results show that: there are many influencing factors acting on the effective length factor which cannot simply be represented by a fixed value and the calculation of the effective length factor should depend on the specific conditions of high-piers.
