Abstract:Taking Tianmen Hanbei River Bridge of Shanghai-Chongqing-Chengdu High-speed Railway as an example, the finite element models of simulating and not simulating the steel-concrete composite segment with shear connectors are established to compare the differences of two model calculation results from the perspectives of structural stiffness, stress, and force transfer process of steel girder. The results show that whether shear connectors are simulated or not has no effect on the stiffness of the steel-concrete composite segment. The maximum difference of normal stress between the two models is 0.1 MPa. The maximum von Mises stress difference of steel beams is 26.8 MPa. The greatest stress difference occurs at the opening of PBL shear connector of steel cell partition. The force transfer process of the top plate, bottom plate and web plate of the steel girder obtained without simulating the shear connector model is more realistic.
