Abstract:In order to study the mechanical properties of the continuous structure of bridge deck with engineered cementitious composites (ECC), Abaqus software is used to establish the finite element model of the whole bridge. The length, thickness and longitudinal reinforcement ratio of the debonding zone are taken respectively as the design parameters to carry out the continuous structural mechanics analysis on ECC bridge deck under three kinds of loads, such as lane load, overall bridge cooling and uneven settlement of supports. The results show that increasing the length of the debonding zone can effectively reduce the mechanical response of ECC deck continuous structure under load. When the length of the debonding zone is 5% of the sum of the length of the two adjacent girders, the requirements of structural stress and deformation can be met. Under the action of the most unfavorable load combination, the stress and strain of ECC bridge deck are the least when the continuous structure is the same thickness as the bridge deck pavement. The longitudinal reinforcement ratio has little influence on the stress of ECC bridge deck continuous structure. The maximum tensile stress of ECC bridge deck continuous structure under three kinds of loads is 3.58 MPa, which is 74% of the ECC tensile strength.It has fully exploited the strain hardening characteristics of ECC, and can effectively prevent the structure from cracking due to tension.
