Research on the Influence of the Stiffening Plates on the Stress of Hold Hoop of Bent Cap

Abstract:

In order to improve the mechanical behaviour of bridge steel hoops, the plate shell finite element models of several steel hoops were established by using the general finite element software ABAQUS. Through changing the structural parameters of the stiffening plates, the influence of the stiffening plates on the mechanical properties of the steel hoops was explored. The calculation results show that the stress distribution at both ends of the steel hoop is uneven and there is a phenomenon of stress concentration. The spacing of stiffening plates has great influence on the mechanical properties of steel hoop. Some measures to improve the mechanical properties of steel hoop are given.
