A Calculation Method of High-Pier's Effective Length Factor Considering the Dead Weight

Article Preview

Abstract:

Nowadays, uncertainty regarding the calculation method of effective length factor of high-pier has brought many inconveniences to the design of bridge. To solve the problem, this paper demonstrates the calculation method of effective length factor on the basis of Eulers formula considering both the influence of high-pier s dead weight and non-ideal boundary conditions on the critical force of first-order buckling. The influence of piers dead weight on effective length factor in the construction and finished stage are evaluated by numerical examples. Results show that: the effective length factor becomes smaller considering dead weight both in construction and finished stage. Moreover, high-piers dead weight causes more influence in the construction stage than finished stage which should be considered seriously in the design and construction.
