Abstract:The setting of precamber is related to the comfort and safety of high-speed vehicle operation. In order to solve the problem of substandard precamber alignment in the cantilever construction process of long-span bridges and adapt to the actual engineering characteristics of bridges, a precamber setting and adjusting method considering various influencing factors such as structural self-weight, prestress, shrinkage and creep effects, vehicle loads and temperature effects is proposed. Taking a multi-span inclined PC continuous beam bridge in Nanchang as the background, and based on the design documents and MIDAS Civil program, a longitudinal calculation model of spatial truss structure is established. The construction process of the bridge is simulated and calculated to obtain the precamber of each beam segment, which guides the construction. The monitoring results show that the elevation error between the finished bridge alignment and the monitored finished bridge meets the standard requirements. The absolute value of elevation error of the both is less than 20 mm. The proposed method is clear, simple and feasible in theory.
