Abstract:Taking a low-pylon cable-stayed bridge over Hanjiang River as a research object, the three-dimensional finite element method is used to analyze the force properties at the cable-beam anchorage zone. The three-dimensional prestress is applied in the model according to the actual situation. The boundary load is simulated based on the overall calculation results of the whole bridge. The concentrated stress effect and the shear lag effect in the anchorage zone are discussed particularly. The study result shows that the maximum principal compressive stress of cable-beam anchorage zone appears at the edge of the duct which intersects the stayed cable sleeve under the anchor plate. Under the influence of the tension of the bridge stayed cable, the ultra-wide box girders may experience unsafe factors such as concrete cracking and buckling instability of steel structures due to the existence of shearing force lag on the girders, which should give the sufficient attention in the process of bridge design. The research results can provide the reference for the design and construction of the cable-beam anchorage of similar bridges.
