Abstract:In order to understand the force of the bridge pylon - foundation steel-concrete combined segment of stayed suspension cable cooperative system, according to a practical project, a three-dimensional solid finite element model of the pylon-foundation steel-concrete combined segment is established by ANSYS software to analyze and calculate its mechanical characteristics under the most unfavorable load conditions. The results show that the action effect combination in the operation stage is the most unfavorable load condition of the pylon - foundation steel-concrete combined segment. The stress of steel box in the steel-concrete combined segment of the pylon and foundation presents the distribution law that stress level near the base slab surface is low and the stress level near the interface on the combined segment is high. The maximum Mises stress of the steel box is less than the yield strength of material. A small area of point-like tensile stress concentration appears at the interface on the steel-concrete combined segment and at the interface on the top surface of the base slab when the concrete is filled into the steel box of the main bridge pylon due to the sudden change of size. The peak value reaches 8.5 MPa, and the maximum principal compressive stress is 16.8mpa, which are all less than the specification limit. Under the condition of not considering the stress concentration cracking at the minimum positions, the force at the pylon - foundation steel - concrete combined segment is safe.
