Pier Form Selection and Parameter Analysis of Reinforced Concrete Thin-Wall High Pier

Abstract:

Two forms of reinforced concrete pier were compared by internal force analysis and nonlinear stability analysis. According to the restriction of the stability and intensity, size optimization of the high piers’ section is calculated by means of differential coefficient. The results of the calculation and analysis indicate that the parameter optimization of the piers’ section of Long-span continuous rigid frame bridges is feasible by using the optimization model, and the results are provided to the optional design of Long-span continuous rigid frame bridges.
