The Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Box Girder

Abstract:

Using Midas/Civil, a nonlinear finite element software, to establish solid element, analyse the process of the construction of a prestressed concrete simply supported box girder which length 32m, this box girder is located on the Shijiazhuang-Wuhan Passenger Dedicated Line, gained the maximum stress and displacement at the control section. Comparative analysis of the simulation results with the monitoring data which gained at the construction site, The results of both are substantially the same, achieve the purpose of assessing the safety of the construction process and the reasonableness of the structure model about the box girder.
