Abstract:Taking the incremental launching construction of steel-concrete composite beams of overpass as an example, an incremental launching construction scheme of the steel-concrete composite beam and a design scheme of temporary support are proposed. The force analysis of the incremental launching construction process is carried out by means of numerical simulation. The results indicate that the maximum comprehensive stress in the support during the incremental launching construction is located at the top distribution beam position of the main column of the support, which is 59.92 MPa, and is below the design allowable value of 205 MPa, representing 29.2% of the design allowable value. The maximum deformation is located at the center of the distribution beam, which is 1.92 mm. During the incremental launching process, the maximum combined stresses in the composite beam and the guide beam are 77 MPa and 74 MPa respectively, accounting for 28% and 39% of their respective allowable stresses. The maximum deflections of the composite beam at the front cantilever, rear cantilever and mid-span are 60 mm, 38 mm and 22 mm respectively, and the maximum displacement of the guide beam is 163 mm, all within the warning values of the design specifications. The anti-overturning ratios of the composite beam at the front and rear cantilevers are 2.48 and 2.99 respectively, both exceeding the code requirement of 1.3, representing 190% and 230% of the allowable values respectively, which indicates that the composite beam can meet the requirements of anti-overturning stability. The research findings can provide a reference for the design of supports and the incremental launching construction of steel-concrete composite beams.
