Abstract:The structure at the consolidation of pylon and beam of cable-stayed bridge is complex and is the key stress position of the whole cable-stayed bridge system. Therefore, it is necessary to carry out the local fine analysis to provide the theoretical basis for the local structure design and reinforcement optimization at the consolidation of pylon and beam. In order to study the mechanical performances at the combined position of the pylon and main beam of the pylon-beam consolidated cable-stayed bridge, taking the long-span pylon-bea consolidated cable-stayed bridge in Xiaohuashan of Benxi City as an engineering example, a local solid model of the pylon and beam is established by using the three-dimensional finite element software to analyze the longitudinal and transverse stress of the joint between the solid section and the hollow section at the bottom of the bridge pylon and the junction between the bottom of the bridge pylon and the main beam under the original design scheme. The specific analysis process is to select the chamfer size of the transition surface at the bottom of the bridge pylon and the height of the solid section as the analysis parameters, and to extract four indexes of the vertical and horizontal stress at the top surface of the solid section at the bottom of the bridge pylon and the interface between the bottom of the bridge pylon and the main beam as the objective function, and then the comprehensive objective function W is defined to determine the optimal combination of design parameters. The comprehensive objective function of the structure is analyzed by using the range analysis and variance analysis, and the sensitivity and significance of structural design parameters are obtained. The results show that the height of the solid section at the bottom of the pylon is the most sensitive and largest affecting parameter to the local stress at the consolidation of the pylon and beam. The parameter combination optimized by structural design is chamfer width 550 mm and chamfer height 1 500 mm of the transitional surface at the bottom of pylon, and the solid section height 1 000 mm at the bottom of pylon. Compared with the original design scheme, the longitudinal stress and transverse stress of the solid top surface at pylon bottom are reduced by 21.8% and 14.2% respectively. The longitudinal stress of the joint surface of the pylon and beam is reduced by 7.3%, and the transverse stress is reduced by 3.7%. The sensitivity of the parameters is from strong to weak. Its sequence is the height of the solid section, the chamfer width of transitional surface and the chamfer height of transitional surface at the bottom of the pylon.
