Abstract:By utilizing the combined performance advantages and technology of steel beam and concrete, the long-span simply supported prefabricated slab composite beam is optimized and designed as a composite slab beam deck system for the municipal expressway. The new scheme realizes the reductions of bridge structure height by17.3% and steel amount by 20.2%. The finite element model checking results of the optimized scheme show that under the most unfavorable load, the most adverse bending stress of the side beam is 162 MPa and its most adverse compressive stress of concrete is -14.2 MPa. The most unfavorable bending stress of the middle beam is 165 MPa and its most unfavorable compressive stress of concrete is -13.8 MPa. The deflection of the side beam is 39.3 mm and its deflection span ratio is 1/1399. The deflection of the middle beam is 36.6 mm and its deflection span ratio is 1/1503. All meet the requirements of design specifications. The static load test results of finished bridge show that under the level of highway - I load, the maximum deflection of the structure is 17 mm, its maximum deflection span ratio is 1/3 235, its maximum compressive tensile stress is 24.68 MPa and its maximum compressive stress is 50.16 MPa, which are far less than the stress design value of Q345 steel and the structural performances of the bridge meet the standard requirements.
