Experimental Study on Three-Span Continuous Wide Curved Box Girder Bridge Model

Abstract:

This paper simulates the practical engineering, using plexiglass to make a three-span continuous wide curved box girder model by the geometry scale ratio 1:30. With the model load test, measured the strain and deflection of the control cross-sections, got the distribution about the stress and deflection of the wide curved continuous box girder; And we proposed the “uniformity coefficient” to express the uneven force of the curved bridge. Compared the finite element analysis results and experimental data, the results show both are in good agreement.
