A Study on the Adaptability of Photoelastic Experiment on Main Tower of Cable-Stayed Bridge

Abstract:

We designed the experimental model of main tower of Tianjin Haihe bridge according to photoelastic experiment theory and proceeded stress experiment at the positions where the stress calculation is precise. Then we compared the experimental results with the finite element calculation results to verify whether the photoelastic experiment fits the stress calculation of main tower of cable-stayed bridge. The experimental results show that the photoelastic experiment could supply gist for the stress calculation of main tower of cable-stayed bridge, which is significant far and wide.
