Shearing Property Study on PC Box-Girder Bridge with Corrugated Webs

Abstract:

PC box-girder bridge with corrugated webs is a new kind of bridge, which named by the thin steel webs replacing thick concrete webs. It is applied abroad in China recently, which attracts attention for its shearing property. Because of lacking relative design and construction code interiorly, the related data of Mi-Luo-Jiang bridge was used in the study with the software ANSYS 10.0. The shearing property and bucking stability of Mi-Luo-Jiang bridge were studied and a theory was verified: corrugated webs do not bear moment and axial force. Besides, the result that the decisive parameter of shearing property of Mi-Luo-Jiang bridge should be allowable shear stress is obtained. The other study had been done on buckling stability of box-girder bridge with different corrugated shapes, maintaining other parameters invariant. Finally, the optimal scope of lateral plane length is [0.2,0.4], and the optimal scope of folded angle is [20º,50º]. The parameters used in Mi-Luo-Jiang bridge is verified as the best value. This study is meaningful and the results can be applied in the design and construction of the same type bridge.
