ZHAO Yan-jing, FANG Tao, NI Fu-jian, CAO Jin

Abstract: Thin-layer asphalt concrete was paved on cement concrete bridge, finite element analysis software ABAQUS was utilized to build the 3D models of box girder bridge and flanged girder bridge respectively, and the mechanical responses of pavementes with different thicknesses under traffic and thermal loads were analyzed.In addition, the effect of pavement gravity on bridge structure was studied.The result indicates that the maximum vertical shear stresses in box girder bridge and flanged girder bridge increase by about 72% and 40% respectively under vehicle load when pavement thickness increases from 4 cm to 12 cm.Thus, the possibility of the rutting occurrence decreases because of the application of thin-layer pavement.The influence of pavement thickness on the tensile stress is not obvious under thermal load, and each mechanical index is at the similar level.Under the gravity of pavement, the maximum Mises stress and principle tensile stress in box girder bridge respectively decrease by 19.62% and 17.70% by decreasing pavement thickness from 12 cm to 4 cm.At the same condition, the stress levels in flanged girder bridge respectively decrease by 13.79% and 10.16%, and the stress distribution in bridge structure is meliorated.Therefore, thin-layer asphalt concrete is feasible to be utilized in bridge deck pavement when environment condition and material performance are considered in actual engineering.More>

SHI Xiong-wei, LIU Hai-peng, ZHOU Yong-jun, HU Zhao-tong, YUAN Zhuo-ya

Abstract: In order to study the effect of pier's layout on the seisimic response of continuous rigid frame bridge, a curved rigid frame bridge was taken as an example, the natural frequencies of the bridge under five double-thin-wall distances were analyzed by finite element procedure, and artificial earthquake wave was employed to compute the elastic seismic response of the bridge.The result shows that when double-thin-wall distance lies between 1/20 and 1/25 of main span, the change of fundamental frequency is not more than 5%, and the seismic responses of the moments of girder and pier and the displacement of the superstructure are not more than 12%, which indicates that the natural frequencies and the seismic response of the structure are not sensitive to double-thin-wall distance.So during the period of primary design, the effect of double-thin-wall distance on the dynamic performance of continuous rigid frame bridge can be neglected if the bridge has ordinary double-thin-wall distance.More>
