Abstract:The terrain in Chongqing is complex, with numerous elevated bridges and load limits, as well as many curves with small radii, therefore, prefabricated segmented small box girders need to be adopted to solve the problem of difficult transportation. The lightweight and miniaturized design of components is carried out, the structural form of prefabricated segmented small box girders is determined and the calculation theory of the overall structure and joint section of the prefabricated segmented small box girder is compared. A finite element model of a prefabricated segmental small box girder has been established using MIDAS Civil, its overall structure, joint section and segments have been verified respectively, and the verification results have met the specification requirements. Therefore, the prefabricated segmented small box girder has solved the problem of difficult transportation of prefabricated components in existing mountainous cities, achieving lightweight, miniaturization, standardization and industrialization of components.
