Fatigue Load for Cable-Girder Anchorage Structure of Highway and Light-Railway Cable Stayed Bridge

Abstract:

Because fatigue load of bridge structure under the highway and light-railway loads has not been specified in current design codes, it is necessary to study the fatigue load of cable-girder anchorage structure of the highway and light-railway cable stayed bridge. Take Chongqin Hongyan Jialing River bridge as the subject of investigation, the fatigue load of cable-girder anchorage structure is computed through MatLab program developed by Monte Carlo method and the rain flow method. According to the traffic flow surveys on the load spectrum, the fatigue load of cable-girder anchorage structure was calculated accurately by the MatLab program. Through comparison with the calculation results of the MatLab program, a fatigue load calculation method used equivalent fatigue vehicle based on the Palmgren-Miner linear cumulative damage theory is reliable and accurate.
