Abstract:To solve the design problems of long-span skew bridges under complex conditions, the applicability of skew steel box girders under complex conditions are designed and analyzed. Taking a representative long-span skew steel box girder bridge as the engineering background, the severe challenges in the bridge design under the complex conditions of large span, high skew angle, weak subgrade and complicated spatial traffic are set forth. Based on the above, the applicability of steel box girders and other substructure forms are systematically compared. The finite element numerical simulation is utilized to conduct the static analysis on the steel box girder and substructures in order to obtain the internal force response of each component. Finally, through the optimization of the structural layout of steel box girder, support design and abutment structural form, the design scheme of the skew bridge is fully optimized to greatly improve the safety, economy and aesthetics of the bridge under complex conditions, which provides a reliable solution for the design of long-span skew bridges under similarly complex engineering environments.
