Abstract:In order to ensure anti-overturning stability of the special-shaped turnout-beam bridge with overhanging beams, and combined with an engineering example, four structural measures such as setting overhanging beams are adopted. Midas Civil 2021 is used to establish the full bridge grillage model and the full bridge plate element model, and the models are analyzed and compared. The overturning failure mechanism of the span structure is analyzed. And the practical anti-overturning calculation method is proposed. The study results show that the calculation accuracy of grillage method for this kind of bridge can meet the requirements of engineering application. The bending failure of the overhanging beam and B turnout root is the final stage and prerequisite of bridge overturning. The shorter the overhanging beam, the greater the anti-overturning moment provided. All four structural measures adopted in this design can effectively improve the anti-overturning stability of structure. The safety factor is 10.1, larger than 2.5, which meets the specifications. The basis and reference can be provided for the anti-overturning optimization design of the similar bridges (i.e. reducing the number of overhanging beams and adjusting the structural size of overhanging beams).
