Abstract:With the development of economy and society, the environmental protection requirements in the construction of urban bridge are getting higher and higher. The traditional construction method of substructure is cast in situ, which occupies the large site with the noise and serious dust pollution. In recent years, the construction of fabricated substructure is developed rapidly, but there are still many shortcomings. Combined with the engineering practices, the steel capping beam is considered to use. Through the parametric study on steel capping beam and the contrastive analysis on the conventional concrete capping beam, the characters of steel capping beam are quested in order to provide the reference for the follow-up engineering design.
