Abstract:Under some special circumstances, the partial post-pouring of box girder flanges is required due to restrictions of construction conditions. Currently, all the existing cases of post-pouring box girder flanges in China are prefabricated simple-supported box girders. There are no relevant cases in continuous girder bridge. Unlike simple-supported girder bridges, the structural forces of continuous beams are more complex due to the existence of negative bending moments. Taking a prestressed concrete continuous beam bridge with a main span of 64 m as an example, two kinds of flange post-pouring schemes are proposed. MIDAS Civil and MIDAS Fea are used to simulate the influence of box girder flange post-pouring on prestressed concrete continuous beams. The results show that due to the absence of flanges and the reduction of the inertial moment of the section during the suspension pouring construction, the box girder becomes more sensitive to prestressed loads. Under the standard combination, the compressive stress is easy to exceed the limit specified in the code. The scheme of first reducing the steel bundle load during the suspension pouring stage, then adding the steel bundle after the flange pouring, and using high tensile strength and low shrinkage materials for the post-poured flange can meet the specification requirements
