Abstract:When urban viaduct is restricted by the clearance of the ground road and the control elevation of the bridge deck, the small box girder of the gated pier with hidden bent cap can effectively reduce the structural height, which is a more economical structural form. Combined with a design example, the design essentials and construction measures of hidden bent cap gate pier are expounded, which has the reference significance in similar projects. Through the comparative analysis of the Midas Civil beam element model and the Midas FEA full-bridge solid element model, the following conclusions can be obtained that (1) the Midas Civil simplified model can be used for the stress analysis in the design, and the results are safe. (2) Under the load effect, the tensile stress at the junction of the small box beam and the hidden bent cap is not large, and the prestressed bars may not be provided.
