Research of Calculation Methods for Zero Block of Continuous Beam and Continuous Rigid Frame Bridges

Article Preview

Abstract:

In order to optimize the zero block analysis method of continuous beam and continuous rigid frame bridge and provide better service for zero block design, a research for size of geometric model, pre-stressing simulation method, loading method and boundary conditions simulation was made. Some useful approaches for zero block calculation were presented through a lot of variable parameter analysis. A method considering the effect of reinforcement ratio was suggested to further judge calculation results of zero block three-dimensional finite element model (FEM). The results showed that the recommended zero block optimal calculation method has high practical value.
