Research on Temperature Effects of the Pre-Stressed Concrete Box Girder Bridge

Article Preview

Abstract:

The distribution of the temperature gradient and temperature change of the pre-stressed concrete box girder are extremely complicated because of the multiplex environment. Temperature load has attached great importance in the field of engineering, and it has a great influence on the bridge’s structure, especially the box structure. The engineering background of this paper is a typical three-dimensional pre-stressed concrete continuous box girder bridge with variable cross section, comprising five spans in one continuous unit. Experiment on it and research the change rules of the temperature distribution, as well as the influence of the structure’s internal force resulted by temperature. Finite element software-Midas/FEA is used to model and calculate the bridge in order to analyze the temperature influence on structure’s stress in contrast to the measured data from the experiments
