Background Technology
[0002] Steel-concrete composite bridge decks possess excellent mechanical properties and good construction performance, better meeting the design requirements of high toughness and long service life for bridges, and have a wide range of applications. However, steel-concrete composite bridge decks are currently in the initial application stage, especially flat steel plate composite bridge decks. Existing technologies do not specify the arrangement and structural requirements of new connectors such as perforated steel plates (PBLs) and steel stiffeners in flat steel plate composite bridge decks, making actual design reliant on experience and lacking clear safety margins. At the same time, fatigue defects frequently occur in bridge decks under heavy traffic, and there is a lack of fatigue research on flat steel plate composite bridge decks and a lack of reliable assessment methods.
[0003] Currently, some experimental and theoretical studies have been conducted on steel-concrete composite bridge decks both domestically and internationally. However, related research in China is still in its early stages. How to solve the bearing capacity based on accurate material constitutive and stress mechanisms, thereby filling the gaps in standard calculations, fully utilizing the performance of UHPC materials, and adapting to different UHPC thicknesses and reinforcement designs, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art.

Compared with ordinary steel-concrete composite bridge decks, consider the UHPC layer and the perforated stiffening steel plate, deducting the perforated area from the stress-bearing. The composite bridge deck involved in this invention is a flat steel plate composite bridge deck. For example... Figure 6 to Figure 10 As shown, the cross-section of the composite bridge deck includes a steel base plate, a perforated stiffening plate (PBL), a concrete layer, and a UHPC layer along the height direction of the cross-section, and the transverse reinforcement is arranged along the width direction of the bridge deck; wherein, the perforated stiffening plate includes stiffening ribs and steel plates disposed at the ends of the stiffening ribs, the perforated stiffening plate is connected to the steel base plate, the concrete layer is located between the UHPC layer and the perforated stiffening plate, the UHPC layer is located on the upper surface side of the bridge deck, and the steel base plate is located on the lower surface side of the bridge deck; Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the theoretical calculation classification of the flexural bearing capacity of the negative bending moment zone of a flat steel plate composite bridge deck. Figure 7 to Figure 10 These are schematic diagrams of theoretical calculation models for the composite bridge deck cross-section under four different stress conditions.
[0026] (II) Basic Assumptions
[0027] The following assumptions are made: (1) The strain of concrete, reinforcing steel and steel base plate varies linearly along the height of the cross section; (2) The steel reinforcement and concrete are well bonded during the bending process, and the steel base plate and concrete are well bonded. Relative slippage is not considered. Even under large deformation, the integrity of the component can still be maintained. (3) The influence of stiffening steel plates on the bending bearing capacity of composite bridge deck is considered. At the same time, in order to ensure structural safety, the contribution of the stiffening rib opening is not considered. (4) After the concrete cracks, it is no longer used. After the UHPC cracks, its strength decreases, but it can continue to participate in the stress.
[0028] (III) Stress-strain relationship of materials
[0029] The constitutive relations of materials were determined. A linear hardening constitutive model was used for steel plates and steel bars, a compression constitutive model was used for concrete, and a bilinear constitutive model of tension / compression considering strain hardening was used for UHPC. The constitutive models for the above materials are determined based on the stress characteristics of each material and combined with experimental and finite element analysis results: For steel plates and reinforcing bars, a linear hardening constitutive model is used, whose stress-strain relationship consists of an elastic segment and a linear hardening segment, reflecting the hardening stress characteristics of steel after yielding; for concrete, a compression constitutive model is used, where 0 ≤ ε c ≤ε co The stress in the segment increases approximately linearly with strain, at ε co <ε c ≤ε cu The segment maintains the ultimate compressive stress σ cu The model is used to reflect the stress characteristics of the concrete compression zone from the rising section to the peak plateau section; the UHPC adopts a tensile / compression bilinear constitutive model considering strain hardening to reflect the strain hardening characteristics of the UHPC after tensile cracking and the bilinear stress characteristics under compression. When calculating the ultimate flexural bearing capacity of the composite bridge deck in the negative bending moment zone, the composite bridge deck is in the ultimate stress state, i.e., the main tensile reinforcement and steel plate of the section yield or the concrete on the upper side of the section crushes (ε4=ε). cu In this ultimate state, the strain at the upper edge of the concrete in the compression zone has reached the ultimate compressive strain ε of the concrete. cu The concrete stress in the compression zone has approached and remained at the ultimate compressive stress σ. cu The contribution of the concrete in the compression zone to the cross-sectional bearing capacity mainly depends on the ultimate compressive stress σ. cu The linear simplification of the ascending segment in the concrete compression constitutive model has a limited impact on the resultant force and internal force arm in the compression zone, and does not affect the accuracy of the ultimate bearing capacity calculation results. The rationality of the above constitutive model and calculation method has been verified by experiments and finite element analysis. The ratio of theoretical calculation values to experimental values is 0.92 to 0.99, and the relative error between theoretical calculation values and finite element simulation results is controlled within 10%, indicating that the method of the present invention can accurately predict the ultimate flexural bearing capacity of composite bridge decks in the negative bending moment zone while ensuring a certain safety margin.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the specific content of the tensile / compression bilinear constitutive model of UHPC considering strain hardening is as follows: The expression for the uniaxial tensile stress-strain relationship of UHPC is as follows: ; In the formula: The initial crack strength of UHPC; The initial crack strain of UHPC; For UHPC strain; For UHPC strain; The strain is the strain when the tensile strength of the UHPC is 0.
[0033] (iv) Based on the position of the neutral axis and the yield range of the steel plate, four types of stress conditions are classified.
[0034] Based on experimental and finite element analysis results, the tensile portions of the main tensile reinforcement and stiffeners yielded at specimen failure. Therefore, in calculations, the yielding of the main tensile reinforcement and steel plate, or the crushing of the concrete on the upper side of the section, is used as the criterion for determining whether the composite bridge deck has reached its ultimate bearing capacity. According to the cross-sectional geometry and concrete location, the stress state of the composite bridge deck can be divided into...

[0035] (v) For each working condition, establish the cross-sectional force balance equation and the geometric deformation compatibility equation, and solve for the neutral axis position.
