The Best Position to Determine the Hinge in the Cantilever Bridge

Abstract:

The simple-supported beam bridge is a common structure form widely used in small and medium span bridges. When the span is longer, the maximum bending moment is accordingly bigger. The maximum positive and negative bending moment numerical of beam decreases obviously because of cantilever bridge with cantilever beams to reduce the amount of materials. This article analyzes the current commonly used cantilever bridge with large span. The two-span cantilever bridge is analyzed under various loads about the internal force according to the condition of the absolute value of the maximum positive and negative bending moment being equal. It carries on the contrast and analysis about simple-supported beam bridges and obtains the best location of the hinge in the cantilever bridge. Moreover, it provides some reference for the optimum design of similar bridges and projects.
