Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bridge engineering, and in particular relates to a vertical temperature gradient fatigue load model of a U-rib of a steel bridge deck. Background Art
[0002] The U-rib of a steel bridge deck is located at the top of the beam section, a typical closed cross-section. Air convection within the cross-section is insufficient, and solar radiation can produce significant vertical nonlinear temperature gradients within the U-rib section. This vertical nonlinear temperature gradient generates longitudinal thermal fatigue stresses, contributing to the cumulative fatigue damage of the U-rib details. Therefore, to calculate thermal fatigue damage at the U-rib details within the design service life, it is necessary to deploy temperature sensors based on the temperature field distribution characteristics of the U-ribs in the bridge deck. Using long-term monitoring data of the U-rib temperature field, we conduct an in-depth study of the temperature effects and structural response of the U-ribs. Using the Latin hypercube sampling method and the fatigue damage equivalence principle, we construct a vertical thermal gradient fatigue load model for U-ribs in long-life steel bridge decks with design service lives of 100, 150, and 200 years.

[0033]
[0034] Test 1
[0035] In order to verify the effect of the U-rib vertical temperature gradient fatigue load model, sensors were arranged on the U-ribs of the steel deck of the Nanjing Yangtze River Cable-stayed Bridge and long-term temperature field monitoring was carried out.
[0036] 1. Long-term monitoring instruments
[0037] The monitoring instrument is a 64-channel DH2002 temperature acquisition device produced in Taizhou, Jiangsu. The temperature acquisition software is the PHM long-term health monitoring software produced in Taizhou, Jiangsu. The temperature sensor is a three-wire Pt100 sensor.

[0043] Taking the fillet weld details of the U-rib and top plate connection of the steel bridge deck as an example, the temperature stress is calculated based on the temperature monitoring data and the temperature stress history σ is constructed. te (y, t), the temperature stress amplitude cycle count is performed using the rain flow counting method to obtain the temperature stress amplitude histogram, such as Figure 5 The equivalent fatigue stress was then calculated based on the temperature stress amplitude spectrum, and the result was 57.6 MPa.
[0044] Based on the U-rib vertical temperature gradient fatigue load model, the temperature stress history is constructed and the temperature stress amplitude analysis is performed. U is 0.28m, y is 0.28m, and the design service life is N d For 100 years, substitute the following formula
[0045]
[0046] The equivalent thermal fatigue stress is 58.1 MPa. The difference between the two is very small, indicating that the established U-rib vertical temperature gradient fatigue load model has good applicability.
