Analysis of Thermal Effect on Girder with Side Main Rib Section

Article Preview

Abstract:

According to the common girder with side main rib section of PC cable-stayed bridge with double cable planes, a computational model of two-dimension temperature field is presented. Temperature gradient of main rib, small longitudinal rib, top plate and flange plate was computed respectively, and then the stress and strain of each section are derived through plane cross-section assumption. For the cable-stayed bridge, member structure FEM is applied to compute node equivalent load and displacement, which resulted from both sunshine and seasonal thermal difference. Finally, a case study is analyzed, the results showed: computed and measured deflection of girder that result from thermal effect are very close, therefore, this method is feasible.
