Structural Performance of a Hybrid Girder Cable-Stayed Bridge during Rotation Construction

Abstract

Deng L

The structure of hybrid girder cable-stayed bridges with single pylon and single cable plane is very complex, which leads to their complicated structural behavior and adds difficulties to their construction. Few studies have been conducted to investigate the structural performance of such bridges under rotation construction. In the present study, the structural performance of a hybrid girder cable-stayed bridge with single pylon and single cable plane during rotation construction is simulated with the Midas/Civil program. The deflection and the stress of the bridge girder and the deformation of the pylon at different construction stages during the rotation construction are investigated and are checked against the bridge design code. The camber for the bridge girder is also studied. The findings from this study provide useful reference for the design of such bridges for rotation construction and the control of the bridges during rotation construction.
