Study on the Static Performance of Steel Truss Structure

Article Preview

Abstract:

This paper aims to experimentally study static responses of bridge longitudinal truss, and the distribution rules of the structural and local stresses were analyzed. The results of the analyses on experimental data show that the typical details in the longitudinal truss concentrate to a limited area on the toe of a dominate weld at the intersection among the upper chord or bottom chord, diagonal and the gusset plates; with boundary conditions being strengthened, stress distribution of the tested specimen became flat and the monolithic tress level decreased relatively. Based on obtained test information, the results are used for updating and validating this kind of structural model, and determining the parameters of finite element model.
