Abstract:

According to cable tension calculation of cable-stayed bridge on construction, and combining with the example of Xinzao Pearl River Grand Bridge, this work proposes forward-calculation method to analyze cable tension force on construction and establishes geometric calculation simulation model to compare measured cable tension with theoretical cable tension. This paper introduces some kinds of methods calculating cable tension force on construction. It importantly discusses the principle and method of forward-calculation and the practical application in the actual project. Spacial finite element model is established for analysis based on finite element software MIDAS and the application of forward-analysis iterative method is considered to analyze the cable tension on construction , then the method of determining cable force on construction is explored. Finally the result shows that the cable tension based on forward-calculation method is usually accurate, the measured value is approximately equal to the theoretical value and the error is in the extent permitted. The correctness and reliability of the frequency method is effectively confirmed and the cable tension calculation of the similar bridge on construction is compatibly applied.
