Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of bridge engineering in the transportation industry, and in particular to a method for calculating the displacement of the top of a simply supported beam bridge pier under linearly distributed force. Background Technology

[0002] In high-speed railway lines, bridges account for an average of over 50%, and among the total length of these bridges, standard 32m and 24m simply supported beams constitute the majority. The longitudinal and transverse displacements of the pier tops are crucial indicators used in design specifications to control traffic safety and structural safety. External forces acting on piers typically include earth pressure and wind pressure, which can be abstracted as linearly distributed forces. Previously, calculating pier top displacements in design generally required dividing the pier into nodes and elements, then converting the distributed forces into equivalent nodal forces. This numerical calculation method involves numerous steps, which can impact design efficiency for the large number of simply supported beam piers in high-speed railways. For piers with uniform cross-sections, the deflection and rotation under external loads can be solved quickly and accurately using differential equations.

[0003] In view of the practical problems existing in the design of bridge piers, it is necessary to propose a faster and more accurate algorithm to solve the problem of calculating the displacement of the pier tops of a large number of simply supported beam bridge piers under linearly distributed forces. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This invention aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a method for calculating the displacement of the top of a simply supported beam bridge pier under linearly distributed forces. This method is applicable to the calculation of the displacement of the top of piers with uniform cross-sections in transportation sectors such as railways, highways, municipal works, and light rail when subjected to linearly distributed forces such as earth pressure and wind pressure. The calculation method of this invention can quickly and directly yield accurate calculation results of the pier top displacement.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A method for calculating the displacement at the top of a simply supported beam bridge pier under linearly distributed force includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Establish a calculation model for simply supported beam bridge piers;

[0008] S2. Establish a linear distributed force calculation model;

[0009] S3. Convert the linear distributed force interval to the standard calculation interval;

[0010] S4. Based on the standard calculation interval obtained in step S3, construct the expression for the undetermined coefficients for calculating the pier deflection.

[0011] S5. Substitute the expression for the undetermined coefficients of the deflection calculation constructed in step S4 into the differential equation of the deflection curve to obtain the set of equations related to the deflection at the calculation point.

[0012] S6. Solve for the specific pier top displacement based on the boundary conditions.

[0013] In step S1, the specific process of establishing the calculation model of the simply supported beam bridge pier is as follows:

[0014] For simply supported beam bridge piers, a calculation model of the pier is established based on the pier height, cross-sectional dimensions, and material properties. The origin of the coordinate system is set at the bottom of the pier, with the standard vertical direction pointing upwards as positive.

[0015] In step S2, the specific process of establishing the linear distributed force calculation model is as follows:

[0016] Establish a distribution diagram of the linearly distributed force and characterize the linearly distributed force using a mathematical expression. The specific formula can be expressed as follows:

[0017] q(x) = ax + b;

[0018] In the formula, x represents the coordinate along the pier height direction;

[0019] q(x) represents the magnitude of the linearly distributed force along the pier height direction;

[0020] a and b represent the slope and intercept of the linear distributed load, respectively.

[0021] In step S3, the specific process of converting the linear distributed force interval to the standard calculation interval is as follows:

[0022] The range of action of the linearly distributed force [x1, x2] is transformed to the standard calculation interval [-1, 1] through coordinate transformation. At this time, the standard coordinate corresponding to the coordinate parameter x is represented by ξ.

[0023] In step S4, the specific process of calculating the undetermined coefficient expression for the pier deflection based on the standard calculation interval obtained in step S3 is as follows:

[0024]

[0025] in,

[0026]

[0027] In the above two formulas,

[0028] z(ξ) represents the deflection parameter of the pier body within the standard calculation range;

[0029] z1, z2, and z3 represent the pier deflection corresponding to the two endpoints and the midpoint of the standard calculation interval [-1, 1].

[0030] θ1, θ2, and θ3 represent the pier rotation angles corresponding to the two endpoints and the midpoint of the standard calculation interval [-1, 1].

[0031] κ 10 (ξ), κ 11 (ξ), κ 20 (ξ), κ 21 (ξ), κ 30 (ξ), κ 31 (ξ) represent six different undetermined coefficients for calculating the deflection of the bridge pier;

[0032] Δl represents the length of the distributed load acting on the pier.

[0033] In step S5, the expression for the undetermined coefficients of the deflection calculation constructed in step S4 is substituted into the differential equation of the deflection curve to obtain the system of equations related to the deflection at the calculation point. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0034]

[0035] In the formula,

[0036] E is the elastic modulus of the bridge pier;

[0037] I is the moment of inertia of the pier cross section;

[0038] F s For shear force;

[0039] F s | ξ=0 Indicates the shear force at the midpoint of the interval;

[0040] The first derivative of the linear distribution intensity at the midpoint of the interval with respect to the x-coordinate;

[0041] M| ξ=0 Indicates the bending moment at the midpoint of the interval;

[0042] q| ξ=0 The linear distribution intensity of the force at the midpoint of the interval is represented.

[0043] In step S6, the process of solving for the specific pier top displacement based on the boundary conditions is as follows:

[0044] First, calculate the bending moment and shear force corresponding to the midpoint of each linearly distributed force application range;

[0045] Then, substitute the calculated values ​​of bending moment and shear force corresponding to these midpoints into the equation set formula in step S5 to calculate the deflection and rotation angle of each pier node.

[0046] Finally, the deflection value corresponding to the pier top node is selected as the pier top displacement to be solved.

[0047] The beneficial effects of this invention are: the calculation method of this invention can be used to calculate the displacement of the pier top of bridge piers with uniform cross-sections in the transportation field, such as railways, highways, municipal works, and light rail, when subjected to linearly distributed forces such as earth pressure and wind pressure. It is applicable to bridge piers with uniform cross-sections of any shape and to the calculation of the displacement of the pier top under linearly distributed loads of various arbitrary lengths and distribution positions. It solves the problem that the calculation of the displacement of the pier top under complex linearly distributed forces requires an approximate numerical method based on node division.
