Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of precast segmental girder bridges, and particularly to a calculation method for the shear bearing capacity of joints of precast segmental girder bridges based on steel shear keys. Background Art

[0002] When designing precast segmental girder bridges, the mechanical properties at the joints are crucial. Existing research has shown that the failure at the joints has a significant impact on the mechanical characteristics and failure modes of segmental girders, and it has always been a key issue restricting the structural safety and economy. The test results of Moustafa's 9-segment I-beam with a span of 28m and Takebayashi's 14-segment box girder with a span of 40.8m both show that the structural failure mainly concentrates near the joints. Currently, most joints of precast segmental girder bridges use plain concrete shear keys. In order to ensure uniform cross-section force, a large number of shear key teeth need to be arranged. If the arrangement is improper, it is easy to cause direct shear failure, and this structure is also not conducive to industrial production. In contrast, steel shear keys are favored due to their high bearing capacity and the advantage of simplifying the joint form, and have received extensive attention. In particular, the calculation and design of the shear bearing capacity at the joints, as a weak link between precast segments, its mechanical properties directly affect the overall stability of the bridge. Under complex loads and long-term service conditions, the accurate calculation of the shear bearing capacity is crucial.

[0003] However, how to accurately calculate the shear bearing capacity of joints of precast segmental girder bridges based on steel shear keys is still a technical problem to be solved urgently. The literature "Shear Performance and Construction Method Design of Steel Tenon Joints in Precast Segment Bridges" (Zou Yu, Duanmu Xiangyong, Song Bingquan, etc., Shear Performance and Construction Method Design of Steel Tenon Joints in Precast Segment Bridges [J], China Civil Engineering Journal, 2022, 55(10): 62-71) conducted direct shear tests on steel shear keys, and experimentally studied the crack development, failure mode, shear displacement, ultimate bearing capacity, residual bearing capacity, etc. of steel shear keys, but did not give relevant calculation and design methods. Therefore, the present invention proposes a calculation method for the shear bearing capacity of joints of precast segmental girder bridges based on steel shear keys. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is: how to solve the problem that there is currently no reasonable and accurate method to quickly calculate the shear bearing capacity at the joints of precast segmental girder bridges based on steel shear keys in the prior art, and provide a calculation method for the shear bearing capacity of joints of precast segmental girder bridges based on steel shear keys, so as to realize the simplified design of the structure and improve the connection reliability.

[0021] .

[0022] Further, in the step S3, the shear bearing capacity of a single steel shear key is calculated as follows:

[0023] ;

[0024] Among them, is the design value of the concrete compressive strength; B is the diameter of the steel shear key; A is the area of the root of the convex key of the steel shear key; is the design value of the steel strength of the steel shear key.

[0039] The following is a detailed description of an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is implemented on the premise of the technical solution of the present invention, and a detailed implementation method and a specific operation process are given, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment.

[0040] like Figure 3 As shown, the present invention solves the above technical problems through the following technical solutions, and the present invention comprises the following steps:

[0041] Step S1: Based on the existence of certain vertical and rotational deformations of the steel shear key, a theoretical force model of the steel shear key is constructed and relevant assumptions are made;

[0042] Step S2: Based on the vertical force balance equation and the moment balance equation with the loading point as the centroid, the length of the stress distribution area of ​​the steel shear key is obtained by simultaneous calculation: for;

[0043] ;

[0044] Among them, is the length of the upward stress-bearing area of the steel shear key (both the concave key and the convex key bear upward stress, and here the steel shear key includes the concave key and the convex key), and L is the embedded depth of the steel shear key.

[0045] Step S3: Assume that the main compression area of the steel shear key is the first / 2 part, and the secondary compression area is the latter / 2 part. Based on the principle of interaction of forces, the local bearing theory of concrete and the maximum shear stress failure criterion, and by correcting the local bearing strength of concrete, the shear bearing capacity of a single steel shear key is obtained, and the calculation formula is:

[0046] ;

[0047] Among them, is the design value of the concrete compressive strength; B is the diameter of the steel shear key; A is the area at the root of the convex key of the steel shear key; is the design value of the steel strength of the steel shear key.

[0049] ;

[0050] Among them, is the number of steel shear keys, is the shear bearing capacity of the joint of the precast segmental girder bridge under the construction state.

[0051] Step S5: Superimpose the shear bearing capacity of the joint sealant at the joint to obtain the calculation formula for the shear bearing capacity of the joint of the precast segmental girder bridge in the completed bridge state:

[0052] ;

[0053] Among them, is the shear bearing capacity of the joint of the precast segmental girder bridge in the completed bridge state, is the cross-sectional area of the joint excluding the area of the steel shear key; is the average compressive stress of the joint cross-section.

[0054] In this embodiment, as Figure 2As shown in the figure, in step S1, the steel shear key includes a convex key and a concave key. The convex key includes a convex key anchor head and a cross-seam tooth, and the concave key includes a concave key anchor head and a bearing slot. The convex key and the concave key are respectively embedded in the precast segment beam 1 and the precast segment beam 2. During segment assembly, under the action of longitudinal prestress (internal tendon or external tendon), the joints are assembled and connected through the matching and alignment of the concave key and the convex key.

[0055] In this embodiment, in step S1, the following assumptions are made: It is assumed that the steel shear key will tend to move downward and rotate counterclockwise, and the surrounding concrete can ensure the balance of the steel shear key; it is assumed that the surrounding concrete provides elastic support for the steel shear key, and the compressive stress borne by the steel shear key varies linearly; it is assumed that the tensile stress between the concrete and the steel shear key is ignored.

[0056] In this embodiment, in step S1, according to the assumption that the compressive stress borne by the steel shear key varies linearly, there is:

[0057]

[0058] Among them, are the maximum compressive stress at the lower end and the maximum compressive stress at the upper end of the steel shear key, as shown in Figure 1 .

[0059] In this embodiment, in step S2, the vertical force balance equation is:

[0060] .

[0061] Among them, is the shear design value of the steel shear key. In this embodiment, in step S2, taking the shear design value as the centroid of the loading point, the moment balance equation is:

[0062] .

[0063] By solving the equations simultaneously, the length of the stress distribution area of the steel shear key is obtained as;

[0064] .

[0065] In this embodiment, in step S3, it is assumed that the main compression area of the steel shear key is the first / 2 part, so as to calculate the shear bearing capacity of a single steel shear key more safely.

[0066] Based on the literature "Shear Performance and Construction Method Design of Steel Tenon Joints in Prefabricated Segment Bridges" (Zou Yu, Duanmu Xiangyong, Song Bingquan, etc., Shear Performance and Construction Method Design of Steel Tenon Joints in Prefabricated Segment Bridges [J], China Civil Engineering Journal, 2022, 55(10): 62-71), a direct shear test of steel shear keys was carried out, and the calculated values were compared with the measured test values. The results are shown in Table 1.

[0067] Table 1 Comparison of Bearing Capacities in the Direct Shear Test of Steel Shear Keys

[0068] As can be seen from Table 1, the experimental values of the dry joint specimens after deducting the interface friction are compared with the calculation results of the shear resistance bearing capacity formula of the joints of assembled precast segment bridges under the construction state, that is, the calculation results of the bearing capacity of steel shear keys (under the construction state) are compared. The ratio of the calculated value to the experimental value is 0.77; the experimental values of the glued joint specimens are compared with the calculation results of the shear resistance bearing capacity formula of the joints of assembled precast segment bridges under the completed bridge state, that is, the calculation results of the bearing capacity of the glued joints (under the completed bridge state) are compared. The ratio of the calculated value to the experimental value is 0.94. The comparison between the experimental values and the calculated values of the present invention is basically consistent, verifying the accuracy of the formula.

[0069] In summary, the calculation method for the shear resistance bearing capacity of the joints of assembled precast segment bridges based on steel shear keys in the above embodiments is based on the concrete local bearing theory and the maximum shear stress failure criterion, and the concrete local bearing strength is corrected to establish a calculation formula for the shear resistance bearing capacity of a single steel shear key; based on the fact that there are certain vertical and rotational deformations in the steel shear keys, a theoretical stress model of the steel shear keys is constructed, providing a calculation formula for the shear resistance bearing capacity of the joints of assembled precast segment bridges under the construction state based on steel shear keys, and a calculation formula for the shear resistance bearing capacity of the joints of assembled precast segment bridges under the completed bridge state, improving the refinement and design efficiency of the design; the present invention can accurately calculate the shear resistance bearing capacity of assembled precast segment bridges based on steel shear keys, and through comparison with the experimental values, the safety and reliability of the calculation method are verified.
