Influences of Concrete Creep and Temperature Deformation on Vehilce Travelling across Bridge

Abstract:

When long-span pre-stressed concrete bridges are subjected to concrete creep and temperature load , bridge deck deformation will be aroused. Then the additional track irregularity will be generated. It brings about the result that the dynamic response of train-track-bridge system will be influenced. In this paper, with the train-track-bridge coupling vibration theory, a (90+180+90) m continuous beam-arch combination bridge located on a certain passenger line is analysised comparatively, by considering the effect of concrete creep and temperature deformation. The results show that, the track irregularity caused by the concrete creep and temperature deformation influence the wheel unloading rate and the vertical accelararion of the train so obviously with the speed increasing. It can be concluded that the track irregularity need to be considered, especially for high-speed trains.
