Abstract:The steel tube in arch springing of concrete-filled steel tube girder arch composite bridge mainly has two different forms such as deep buried and shallow buried. The corresponding main beam end structure, reinforcement and prestress layout are also different. In the practical engineering, these two buried depth forms are widely used, so it is necessary to study the influence of buried depth of steel pipe in arch springing in order to provide the reference for practical engineering. Taking a 130 m-span concrete-filled steel tube girder arch composite bridge as an example, the influence of steel pipe buried depth in the arch springing on the construction difficulty, and the amount of prestressed reinforcement of the girder. A numerical analysis model is established to verify the safety of the shallow-buried steel pipe arch springing structure. And the correlative structural requirements of buried depth of steel pipes, setting of end bearing pressure plates, and the arrangement of shear members for the shallow buried arch springing.
