Disclosed in the present invention are a method and
system for determining reasonable
vertical stiffness of a long-span new highway bridge. The method comprises: by means of a finite
element model for an initial design scheme of a long-span new highway bridge, calculating a
vertical deflection-to-span ratio and a beam end vertical rotation angle of the bridge under the characteristic combination of a permanent load, a live load, a temperature action, and a wind load; performing checking calculation on indicators for
driving safety and comfort on the bridge, indicators for the usage of a beam end bearing and an
expansion joint, and indicators for a vertical curve of a
route after vertical deformation of a main girder; taking the requirements for the
driving safety and comfort on the bridge, the requirements for the usage of the beam end bearing and the
expansion joint, and the requirements for the vertical curve of the
route after the vertical deformation of the main girder as constraints to decrease or increase bridge design parameters in the finite
element model; and determining, as the minimum value of the reasonable
vertical stiffness of the bridge, the maximum
vertical deflection-to-span ratio and the maximum beam end vertical rotation angle in all schemes satisfying the constraints. The present invention can provide a reliable reference for the reasonable design, economy, and safety of long-span new highway bridges.
