Space Stability Analysis of Inclined Thin-Walled Steel Box Ribs

Article Preview

Abstract:

Main bridge of Nanning Bridge is taken as Research Object. Using the finite element program ANSYS, space finite element model of an arch bridge with two inclined thin-walled steel box ribs is build, stability safety factor of the bridge is calculated, eigenvalue buckling analysis and non-linear buckling analysis of inclined thin-walled ribs are carried out, and stability performance is discussed. The result shows that stability problems of this bridge mainly occur on the ribs and are out-of-plane buckling in general, and horizontal loads have greater influences on out-of-plane buckling. The calculation results can provide parameters for construction, health detection and maintenance in the operational phase of the bridge.
