Finite Element Analysis of Wharf Track Beam under Eccentric Load

Article Preview

Abstract:

The software ANSYS was used to perform the calculation of combined simulation for the track beams under eccentric load in the third wharf in a shipping company and to check whether the beams meet the requirements of safe use. In order to take into account the horizontal constraints of concrete surface slabs of high-piled wharf on track beams, a finite element model of the structure consisted of a crossbeam and piles was first established to calculate the equivalent spring restraint stiffness. Then the nonlinear finite element analysis of track beams under eccentric load was performed. The results show that the cracking of concrete cover at the tension side and the bottom of track beams under eccentric load may occur, but the tensile steel bars at the bottom of beam do not yield. It is suggested that the track beams under eccentric load must be reinforced to use them.
