Mechanical Features of Cable-Girder Anchorage for Long-Span Railway Cable-Stayed Bridge with Steel Box Girders

Abstract:

The cable-stayed bridge got rapid development in recent years. And for long-span cable-stayed bridges, the cable-girder anchorage structure is a key component in designing. The function of the cable-girder anchorage structure is to transfer the load between cables and the main girder. With the complex load transfer mechanism and stress concentration induced by large cable force, rational design of cable-girder anchorage structure is critical to long-span cable-stayed bridges. Take a certain long-span railway cable-stayed bridge in Zhejiang Province as the investigation, the load transfer mechanism and the stress distribution state was studied by finite element model. The research indicated that the design of this anchor box was rational. The stress distribution on each plate of the anchor box was relatively uniform. And the load transfer path and mechanisms of the main components of this anchor box were clear.
