Finite Element Analysis on the Redistribution of Reaction at Support

Abstract:

We use the finite element software Midas FEA to set up space entity model, and discuss various factors including the stiffness of bearing, counteracting force of adjacent beam, the influence of the stiffness of bridge pier on reaction at support. In the practical engineering. Coupling of shear lag, stiffness of beam, bending-torsional coupling and partial load can also affect the redistribution of reaction at support. Through the simulation of the finite element software, we check the support of a railway bridge in Guangzhou city. In the end we found that the stiffness of beam can make the middle support have a tendency to increase. If we take all the factors into account, the force of the middle support will be greater than on the both ends of bearing and the force on the both ends of bearing will be approximately equal.
