Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge engineering structural design and optimization technology, and in particular to an adaptive cross-section design method for automatically matching the strength and stability of the main arch of an arch bridge. Background Technology
[0002] The cross-sectional design of the main arch of a long-span arch bridge is crucial to the structural safety and economy. An unreasonable distribution of materials will not only waste materials but also become a burden on the structure. Therefore, the cross-sectional design of the main arch must not only meet the strength requirements of the structure but also ensure a reasonable distribution of the arch rib stiffness in order to effectively resist structural stress, deformation, and instability under various loads.
[0003] Existing methods for designing the cross-sections of arch bridges rely on elastic theory and empirical formulas. These methods fail to address the balance between material strength and structural stability under strong nonlinear influences, and cannot obtain precise cross-sectional dimensions under complex load conditions and geometric nonlinear effects. Instead, they simply add safety factors to empirical formulas, resulting in bulky arch structures that hinder further development of arch bridge spans. Furthermore, existing methods employ iterative optimization, repeatedly adjusting the main arch cross-section to achieve strength and stability goals. This cumbersome process is inefficient and cannot guarantee globally optimal results, ultimately relying on the designer's experience.
[0004] Therefore, proposing an adaptive cross-section design method that automatically matches the strength and stability of the main arch of an arch bridge to solve the problems existing in the prior art is an urgent problem to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an adaptive cross-section design method for automatically matching the strength and stability of the main arch of an arch bridge, which can improve the material utilization rate, structural safety and design efficiency of long-span arch bridges, thereby achieving the dual goals of economy and safety.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An adaptive cross-section design method for automatically matching the strength and stability of the main arch of an arch bridge includes: S1. Taking the failure of the arch crown section as the failure mode of the structure, a coupling correlation model between the strength and stability of the main arch is established, which includes the nonlinear stability coefficient, the height of the arch crown section, the design axial compressive stress, and the stiffness of the arch crown section. S2. Set constraints and, based on the relationship between the design axial compressive stress and the design arch crown cross-sectional area, solve the coupling relationship model of the main arch strength and stability under constraints to obtain the design combination solution set of the arch crown cross-sectional area, arch crown cross-sectional stiffness, and arch crown cross-sectional height that satisfies all constraints. S3. With the goal of minimizing the amount of material used in the main arch, optimize the solution set that satisfies the constraints to obtain the optimal design combination of the arch crown cross-sectional area, arch crown cross-sectional stiffness and arch crown cross-sectional height.

As the constraint condition for the stiffness of the arch rib, equation (7) is as follows: (7) Based on engineering experience, we select the following constraint formula for the height of the arch crown section: (8) (8).
[0010] Optionally, in S3 of the above method, the goal is to minimize the amount of material used in the main arch. The optimization solution is then performed within the solution set that satisfies the constraints to obtain the optimal design combination of the arch crown cross-sectional area, arch crown cross-sectional stiffness, and arch crown cross-sectional height.

[0035] In one specific embodiment, the design method of the present invention is used to optimize the cross-section of the main arch ring of a reinforced concrete arch bridge with a main span of 386 meters and a rise of 70.18 meters. span It is 386m, with a rise of 386m. The column spacing is 70.18m. The arch is 31m long, with no columns at the crown. The arch ribs are made of C80 concrete. The original design used a catenary structure with an arch axis coefficient of 2.4. The total volume of concrete for the arch ribs was 8914 cubic meters, with a total weight of 23000 tons. Construction employed segmental prefabrication, cantilever assembly, and a combined cable-stayed system. The average segment length was 6m, and the maximum lifting weight was 242 tons.
[0036] The original design scheme was calculated using the finite element method (FEM). The maximum stress level of the structure under dead load was 18.06 MPa. For ease of comparison, the new scheme pre-sets the axial compressive stress of the arch ribs under dead load to 18 MPa, maintaining the same stress level as the original scheme. The arch ribs are designed as parallel double ribs, with each rib adopting a constant width and variable height cross-section. The pre-set in-plane first-order stability coefficient of the arch ribs is 4. A comparative analysis of the original and optimized schemes was conducted using the FEM method, and the results are as follows: Reference Figure 2 As shown, the new alignment is higher at L / 4 than the original alignment. The maximum alignment deviation occurs at 140m, with a maximum deviation value of 1.17m.
[0037] Table 1 shows the calculation results of the arch rib section in the new scheme. In the new scheme, the height of the medium-width variable-height arch section changes from 4.81m at the arch crown to 6.35m at the arch foot, with a section width of 4m. The thickness of the top and bottom slabs changes from 261.5mm at the arch crown to 344.9mm at the arch foot, while the top slab thickness remains unchanged at 261.5mm. In the original design, the concrete slab thickness was 1m. Compared to the original design, the new scheme has a smaller slab thickness. The new scheme adopts the design concept of equal stress, reducing the cross-sectional area. However, to meet stiffness requirements, the material needs to be distributed as much as possible at the outer edge of the section, thus reducing the section thickness.
[0038] Table 1 Calculation results of cross-sectional parameters
[0039] By employing the design method of this invention, without altering the stress level, the entire arch is kept at the same stress value under constant load through equal-stress arch design and constant-load bending moment adjustment. Theoretically, this increases material utilization to 100%, reducing the material consumption of the main arch ring from 22,000 tons to 10,209.2 tons, a reduction of 54.6%. The average concrete material consumption per square meter of bridge deck main arch ring is 1.95 tons. The reduction in the self-weight of the arch ribs allows for a 91.7% increase in hoisting length or a 52.6% reduction in hoisting weight.
