Abstract:In order to improve the using performance of the urban manhole structure, the stress features of wall structure of the non-standard manhole are analyzed in combination with the rectangular concrete water drop well, and the optimal design of the manhole wall based on UHPC is studied. Firstly, the three-dimensional plate-shell finite element model is used to analyze the bending moment and out-of-plane displacement of the non-standard manhole along the height and width directions in detail. Based on the spatial analysis results and the predetermined design objectives, the design optimization of the manhole wall structure with different materials and reinforcement arrangements is compared and analyzed. The results show that the bending moments of each sidewall plate in both directions are not negligible, and the out-of-plane deformation has the characteristics of two-way plates. It is recommended to use the three-dimensional spatial model for analysis when the ratio of height to width of the manhole chamber is less than 5. Considering the characteristics of spatial stress, the thickness of the manhole wall can be reduced by 20% for ordinary concrete and 40% for UHPC, and the amount of reinforcement can be reduced by about 17%, which can provide a theoretical basis for the structural calculation and design of non-standard manhole, and provide a reference for the practical engineering application of UHPC in the wall structure of manhole.
