Analysis of Creep and Shrinkage Mechanism of Bridge Considering the Effect of Shrinkage on Creep Stress Reduction

Abstract:

The effect of concrete shrinkage and creep on the deformation of the bridge structure is posing a serious issue with increasing numbers of large-span bridges are being built. At the moment, only the creep coefficient is usually considered for calculating bridge creep, without taking other factors into consideration. This paper, based on aging theory, considers the influence of shrinkage on creep stress reduction, by simplifying the formula of creep strain under discrete load by using the integral mean-value theorem and deriving the formula of concrete creep strain. Taking a continuous rigid frame bridge for example, the paper calculated the creep considering creep stress reduction under shrinkage, which showed that the method can well predict the final shrinkage and creep values of large-span concrete bridge.
