Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically relating to the construction of a UHPFRC-reinforced steel plate girder bridge web gap fatigue detail. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing traffic volume, the fatigue problem of existing steel bridges has become increasingly prominent. In steel bridge designs prior to the 1980s, considering the potential fatigue failure caused by direct welding of vertical stiffeners to the tension flanges, the vertical stiffeners were typically shortened, leaving a gap of several centimeters between them and the flanges, thus creating the web gap of the vertical stiffeners in plate girder bridges. To avoid introducing residual welding stress at the connection between the horizontal node plate and the web of the main steel girder, holes were usually made in the horizontal node plate to allow the vertical stiffeners to pass through, resulting in the web gap of the horizontal node plate. In actual operation, under vehicle loads, deflection differences occur between the main steel girders, causing out-of-plane bending deformation at the less stiff web gaps. This leads to significant secondary stress at the welded details, causing fatigue cracks to initiate and propagate at these points, posing a potential safety hazard to the bridge. Therefore, effective reinforcement measures are needed to repair and strengthen steel bridges to address fatigue cracks caused by out-of-plane deformation. Traditional reinforcement measures for gaps in the webs of steel bridges involve installing crack arrest holes at the crack tips. However, these holes weaken the web stiffness, potentially leading to secondary structural damage. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a reinforcement structure that can effectively suppress the formation and propagation of out-of-plane deformation fatigue cracks at the web gaps without weakening the web stiffness. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem to be solved by this invention is to address the issue that existing steel plate girder bridge web gap out-of-plane deformation fatigue detail reinforcement technology weakens the original structural stiffness, and to provide a UHPFRC reinforced steel plate girder bridge web gap structure that is structurally reasonable, simple in construction, has superior stress performance, and is convenient to construct.

[0114] test
[0115] To verify the strengthening effect of the present invention, the inventors conducted a strengthening effect evaluation test. Fatigue cracks were pre-induced on the I-beam specimen, and the technical solution of Embodiment 1 of the present invention was used for strengthening. Tests were then conducted on the strengthened specimens, and the test results are as follows:
[0116] I. Testing Instruments
[0117] MTS servo hydraulic control system; TDS-602 static resistance strain gauge (made in Japan); WBD type electromechanical dial indicator (made by Wenling Kete Electronic Instrument Factory, Zhejiang Province).
[0118] II. Test on the reinforcement effect at the gap between the web and the vertical stiffening ribs
[0119] 1. Specimen design parameters
[0120] The specimen was made of Q345 steel with an elastic modulus of 2.06 × 10⁻⁶. 5 MPa. The distance between the two loading points is 440mm.
[0121] 2. Test apparatus and loading procedure
[0122] The flange plate 1 of the specimen was fixed to the base with high-strength bolts. A cyclic loading was applied perpendicularly to the web plate 6 on the vertical stiffener 5 to simulate the load transmitted by the cross bracing in an actual steel bridge. During the test, the specimen was first subjected to pre-existing crack fatigue loading until cracks initiated in the web plate 6 between the vertical stiffener 5 and the flange plate 1. Before reinforcement, a static load test was conducted on the specimen with pre-existing cracks to measure the displacement and stress at each measuring point before reinforcement, for comparison with the situation after reinforcement. The specimen 1 was reinforced using the scheme described in Example 1. After the specimen reached strength, another static load test was conducted to measure the displacement and stress at each measuring point after reinforcement. Finally, cyclic loading was performed to verify the effectiveness of the reinforcement method.
[0123] 3. Experimental Results and Analysis
[0124] Table 1 shows the out-of-plane deformation amplitudes of the specimens before and after reinforcement. In Table 1, out-of-plane deformation amplitude ① is the out-of-plane deformation value at the web gap obtained by static testing before fatigue cyclic loading of the web gap, at which point the number of cycles N=0. Out-of-plane deformation amplitude ② is the out-of-plane deformation amplitude at the web gap obtained by static testing when the fatigue crack at the web gap has expanded to a certain extent and the fatigue test has stopped (i.e., the number of fatigue loading cycles before reinforcement is 1.4 million). Out-of-plane deformation amplitude ③ is the out-of-plane deformation amplitude at the web gap obtained by static testing after repair and reinforcement of the web gap. Out-of-plane deformation amplitude ④ is the data obtained by the final static test at the end of the fatigue test on the reinforced specimen (the number of fatigue loading cycles after reinforcement is 2.8 million). In Table 1, measuring points WS and WN represent the out-of-plane deformation of the web gap on the west side of the specimen in the north-south direction, respectively, and measuring points ES and EN represent the out-of-plane deformation of the web gap on the east side of the specimen in the north-south direction, respectively.
[0125] Table 1. Comparison of out-of-plane deformation amplitudes at measuring points of specimens before and after reinforcement.
[0126]
[0127] As shown in Table 1, after repair and reinforcement using the scheme of Example 1, the out-of-plane deformation amplitude of each measuring point under the same load amplitude is significantly reduced, and the out-of-plane deformation after reinforcement is very small, indicating that the reinforcement effect is good.
[0128] Table 2 compares the stress amplitude at the weld toe of web 6-vertical stiffener 5 in the web gap before and after reinforcement of the specimen. The stress amplitudes ①, ②, ③, and ④ in Table 2 have the same number of test cycles as the out-of-plane deformation amplitudes ①, ②, ③, and ④ in Table 1. Measurement points WS and WN in Table 2 are the measurement points at the weld toe of web 6-vertical stiffener 5 in the north-south direction of the web gap on the west side of the specimen, respectively. Measurement points ES and EN are the measurement points at the weld toe of web 6-vertical stiffener 5 in the north-south direction of the web gap on the east side of the specimen, respectively.
[0129] Table 2. Comparison of stress amplitude at the weld toe before and after reinforcement
[0130]
[0131] As shown in Table 2, after reinforcement using the scheme of Example 1, the stress amplitude of each measuring point is significantly reduced under the same load amplitude, and the stress at the measuring points after reinforcement is very small, indicating that the reinforcement effect is good.
[0132] Table 3 shows the variation of out-of-plane deformation amplitude at the web gap with load. Time 1, time 2, time 3, and time 4 correspond to the completion time of the number of cycles during the testing of out-of-plane deformation amplitude ①, out-of-plane deformation amplitude ②, out-of-plane deformation amplitude ③, and out-of-plane deformation amplitude ④ in Table 1, respectively. In Table 3, measuring points WS and WN represent the out-of-plane deformation of the web gap in the north-south direction on the west side of the specimen, and measuring points ES and EN represent the out-of-plane deformation of the web gap in the north-south direction on the east side of the specimen, respectively.
[0133] Table 3. Comparison of out-of-plane deformation amplitude at the weld toe before and after reinforcement
[0134]
[0135] As shown in Table 3, the out-of-plane deformation of the web gap was significantly reduced after reinforcement. Moreover, at the end of the test, the out-of-plane deformation obtained after cyclic loading was almost unchanged compared with the value obtained after reinforcement without cyclic loading, indicating that the reinforcement effect was good.
[0136] In summary, after using the reinforcement structure at the web gap of the vertical stiffening rib of the present invention to strengthen the out-of-plane deformation fatigue details of the web gap of the vertical stiffening rib, the out-of-plane deformation amplitude and stress amplitude of the specimen are significantly reduced. Moreover, the ultra-high performance cement-based composite material cast under cyclic loading does not fail, indicating that the fatigue strengthening structure is safe and reliable.

[0141] Both flanges 1 and 8 of the specimen were fixed to the base with high-strength bolts. Cyclic loading was applied perpendicularly to the web 6 on the stiffening rib 5 to simulate the load transmitted by the cross bracing in an actual steel bridge. During the test, the specimen was first subjected to pre-existing crack fatigue loading until cracks initiated in the web 6 at the gap between the stiffening rib 5 and the upper flange 1 and lower flange 8. Before reinforcement, a static load test was conducted on the specimen with pre-existing cracks to measure the displacement and stress at each measuring point before reinforcement, for comparison with the post-reinforcement state. The specimen was then reinforced with UHPFRC4 casting and cured. After the specimen reached its strength, another static load test was conducted to measure the displacement and stress at each measuring point after reinforcement. Finally, cyclic loading was performed to verify the effectiveness of the reinforcement method.
[0142] 3. Experimental Results and Analysis
[0143] The out-of-plane deformation amplitudes of the specimens before and after reinforcement are shown in Table 4. In Table 4, out-of-plane deformation amplitude ① is the out-of-plane deformation value of specimen ① under static load before and after reinforcement; out-of-plane deformation amplitude ② is the out-of-plane deformation value of specimen ② under static load before and after reinforcement; out-of-plane deformation amplitude ③ is the out-of-plane deformation value of specimen ③ under static load before and after reinforcement; out-of-plane deformation amplitude ④ is the out-of-plane deformation value of specimen ④ under static load before and after reinforcement; WU is the vertical displacement of the upper vertical stiffening rib at the tension flange end (pre-crack side) of the reinforced specimen; WB is the vertical displacement of the lower vertical stiffening rib at the tension flange end (pre-crack location) of the reinforced specimen; EU is the vertical displacement of the upper vertical stiffening rib at the compression flange end (without pre-crack location) of the reinforced specimen; and EB is the vertical displacement of the lower vertical stiffening rib at the compression flange end (without pre-crack location) of the reinforced specimen.

[0145]
[0146] As shown in Table 5, after repair and reinforcement using the scheme of Example 1, the out-of-plane deformation amplitude of each measuring point under the same load amplitude is significantly reduced, and the out-of-plane deformation after reinforcement is very small, indicating that the reinforcement effect is good.
[0147] Table 5 compares the stress amplitudes at the web gap between the vertical stiffening ribs and the weld toe of the stiffening rib 5 before and after reinforcement. The stress amplitudes ①, ②, ③, and ④ in Table 5 are the same as those corresponding to the out-of-plane deformation amplitudes ①, ②, ③, and ④ in Table 1, respectively. In Table 3, measuring points WN and WS are the measuring points at the weld toe of the stiffening rib 5-web 6 in the north-south direction of the web gap on the west side of the specimen.

[0149]
[0150] As shown in Table 5, after repair and reinforcement using the scheme of Example 1, the stress amplitude of each measuring point under the same load amplitude is significantly reduced, and the stress at the measuring points after reinforcement is very small, indicating that the reinforcement effect is good.
[0151] As shown in Table 5, the out-of-plane deformation of the web gap was significantly reduced after reinforcement. Moreover, at the end of the test, the out-of-plane deformation obtained after cyclic loading was almost unchanged compared with the value obtained after reinforcement without cyclic loading, indicating that the reinforcement effect was good.
[0152] In summary, after strengthening the out-of-plane deformation fatigue details of the horizontal node plate web gap using the reinforcement structure of the present invention, the out-of-plane deformation amplitude and stress amplitude of the specimen are significantly reduced. Moreover, the ultra-high performance cement-based composite material cast under cyclic loading does not fail, indicating that the fatigue strengthening structure is safe and reliable.
