Nonlinear Stability Impact of Concrete-Filled Steel Tube Arch Bridge

Abstract:

CFST Arch Bridge under pressure mainly stability is one of the key factors restricting its development. Most of the arch of instability belongs to the second type of instability, and that the non-linear deformation of the structure is nonlinear state, the mechanical properties of the structure also change from elastic state into nonlinear state. In this paper, based on nonlinear and stability theory and using the finite element software ANSYS, parameters of affecting the main arch stability were studied. By analyzing the geometric and material nonlinear factors on the structural stability, the parameters of influence on the stability of the main arch were discussed, including width-span ratio, arch-rib inside inclination, rise-span ratio and arch-axis coefficient. The influence law of these parameters were summarized and will be used to guide the actual project.
