AI Technical Summary
Arch bridges in long-span bridges deform under dead load, overall temperature changes, and shrinkage and creep, resulting in inconsistent internal forces in the main arch. Existing technologies cannot completely eliminate the structural internal forces generated by moving loads through axial compression compensation.
By pre-setting a displacement opposite to the direction of axial compression deformation during the closure stage, the axial compression effect caused by dead load, temperature, shrinkage and creep is counteracted. Finite element calculation and iterative adjustment of the closure opening length and rotation angle are used to achieve the balance of peak bending stress at each control section of the arch rib.
It effectively counteracts the axial compression effects caused by dead load, temperature, shrinkage and creep, reducing the bending moment of the completed bridge by 2 to 3 orders of magnitude, realizing the true pure compression state of long-span arch bridges, and improving structural performance.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, and more specifically to a method for adjusting the bending moment amplitude of dead load and long-term effects of long-span arch bridges based on axial compression compensation. Background Technology
[0002] For arch bridges in long-span bridges, theoretically, a zero-bending-moment state for a rigid arch structure under dead load can be achieved by adopting a reasonable arch axis. However, in reality, the arch ring will deform under dead load, overall temperature change, shrinkage and creep, and moving load, thus causing internal forces in the main arch. Dead load, overall temperature change, and shrinkage and creep all generate structural internal forces in the form of axial compressive deformation, which can be adjusted by compensating for axial compression. The structural internal forces generated by moving loads are variable, and their effects are not distributed in the same way as those generated by axial compressive deformation. Therefore, it is impossible to completely eliminate the structural internal forces generated by moving loads solely through compensation for axial compression. However, the peak bending stress at each control section of the arch rib can be equalized under a specific live load distribution pattern by adjusting the length and rotation of the arch crown closure section. Therefore, how to provide a method for adjusting the bending moment amplitude of long-span arch bridges based on axial compression compensation under dead load and long-term effects is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0015] This invention discloses a method for adjusting the bending moment amplitude of dead load and long-term effects in a long-span arch bridge based on axial compression compensation, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes the following steps: S1. Establish a member model of the long-span arch bridge based on the design parameters of the long-span arch bridge; S2.

[0016] For long-span arch bridges with a reasonable arch axis, the bending moment of the arch rib caused by dead load, overall temperature change, shrinkage and creep is only generated by elastic compression. The internal forces generated by elastic compression, overall temperature change, shrinkage and creep can be eliminated by compensating for elastic compression, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the bending moment of the completed bridge.
[0017] Under constant load, overall temperature change, and shrinkage / creep, the elastic compression of the arch ring manifests as a shortening of the arch axis length. This deformation of the arch ring generates corresponding internal forces within the arch, resulting in maximum bending stress at the arch foot and crown. Taking a cantilevered curved beam as the basic structure, such as... Figure 2 As shown, elastic compression will shorten the arch axis in the span direction, and the amount of elastic compression can be obtained by integrating the axial compressive strain along the axis. If the length and rotation angle of the closure joint are controlled to be 0, the structure is in a stress-free closure state, and the internal forces of the structure included in the construction process are the same as those in the first scaffolding placement. If axial compression compensation is performed at the closure joint, the internal forces generated by axial compression can be eliminated, so that the bending moment after the arch is closed is zero.
[0018] The axial compressive strain of the arch satisfies ,in , , , These represent the compressive strain caused by constant load, temperature, shrinkage, and creep, respectively.
[0019] Furthermore, in S2, the finite element method is used to calculate the internal forces in the arch ring and crown caused by dead load, shrinkage, and creep. , and .
[0020] Furthermore, the axial compression of the arch ring caused by the dead load is calculated. Specifically: ; In the formula, The cross-sectional area of the arch rib is... The area of the vault is [area]. It is the angle between the tangent to the arch axis and the horizontal line. To design for strain, For the curvature of the vault, This is the span length.
[0021] The compressive strain induced by dead load can be expressed in different ways depending on the cross-sectional changes: ; Integrating the above equation yields the expression for constant load elastic compression.
[0022] Furthermore, the axial compression of the arch ring caused by temperature is calculated. Specifically: ; In the formula, This is the difference between the temperature at the time of closure and the average temperature. The coefficient of thermal expansion of the material. This is the span length.
[0023] In this embodiment of the invention, the compressive strain caused by shrinkage can be calculated according to Appendix C of the "Design Specification for Highway Reinforced Concrete and Prestressed Concrete Bridges and Culverts" (JTG 3362-2018), or it can be calculated using the finite element method.
[0024] Furthermore, the axial compression of the arch ring caused by shrinkage is calculated. Specifically: ; The axial compression caused by shrinkage is calculated based on the ratio of shrinkage to the bending moment of the arch rib under constant load.
[0025] Furthermore, the axial compression of the arch ring caused by creep is solved. Specifically: ; The axial compression caused by creep is calculated based on the ratio of creep to the bending moment of the dead load arch rib.
[0026] The compressive strain caused by creep is related to the structural stress. The axial compression compensated during the closure stage will change the structural stress and thus affect the creep process of the structure. Therefore, it is necessary to use finite element method to iterate multiple times to adjust the creep internal force.
[0027] Furthermore, the threshold in S6 is 0.1.
