Ultimate Load Capacity of the Cable Tower of Liede Bridge
نویسندگان
چکیده
The cable tower of Liede Bridge is a double-column curved-lever arched-beam portal framed structure. Being novel and unique in structure, its cable tower differs in complexity from traditional ones. This paper analyzes the ultimate load capacity of cable tower by adopting the finite element calculations and model tests which indicate that constitutive relations applied here give a better simulation of actual failure process of prestressed reinforced concrete. In vertical load, horizontal load and overloading tests, the stepped loading of the tower model is of linear relationship, and the test data has good repeatability. All suggests that the cable tower has good bearing capacity, rational design and high emergency capacity. Keywords—Cable tower of Liede Bridge, ultimate load capacity, model test, nonlinear finite element method

Ultimate Load Capacity and Behavior of Thin-Walled Curved-Steel Square Struts, Subjected to Compressive Load
There have been some experimental tests on hollow curved-steel struts with thin-walled square sections, in order to investigate their general behavior, particularly their capacity for bearing differing loads. One set of square tubes are cold-formed into segments of circular arcs with curvature radii, equal to 4000 mm. Different lengths of curved struts are fabricated so as to cover a practical ...

متن کاملInvestigation on Deck-Stay Interaction of Symmetric Harp Cable-Stayed Bridge
This paper provides a variety of viewpoints to illustrate the mechanism of the deck-stay interaction with the appropriate initial shapes of cable-stayed bridges, which is validated by a symmetrical structure. Based on the smooth and convergent bridge shapes obtained by the initial shape analysis, the one-element cable system (OECS) and multi-element cable system (MECS) models of the symmetric h...
متن کاملAn experimental study of axial load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts using axially split embedment apparatus
The load transfer mechanisms of cable bolts differ from those for normal rebar bolts. The cable bolts used in mines are basically steel strands with different constructions depending on the number of wires or elements and the way they are laid. Tendon bolts (rebar and cable) are normally evaluated for their strength and load transfer properties. The tendon strength can be evaluated by the tensi...
متن کاملDamage Detection of Cable-stayed Bridge Using Combined Gps and Accelerometer Observations
The universe of damage detection scenarios likely to be encountered in realistic civil infrastructure applications is very broad and encompassing. Among the numerous considerations that influence the choice and effectiveness of a suitable method is studying the damage detection in both time and frequency domains. Nowadays, the use of a real time kinematic-global positioning system (RTK-GPS) and...
