Current research on Concrete filled steel tubular (CFST) structures mainly on the single members and joints. Based on these studies, when designing a CFST truss beam, it is usually discretizes the CFST truss structure into members and joints for calculating the bearing capacity. In this paper, two full-scale models of CFST truss beam with and without prestressed steel strands were subjected bending to explore the effects of setting prestress. The flexural behaviors of the two beams during elastic stage, elastoplastic stage, plastic stage and failure stage were observed and compared. Experimental results indicated that setting prestress in the bottom chord could increase the flexural bearing capacity with 14.8% and enhance flexural stiffness of the CFST truss beam, while not affect the failure mode of which. Furthermore, a simplified prediction method for flexural bearing capacity was proposed based on the plane section assumption, which improved the calculation efficiency of the bearing capacity of such beams. The relative error of this method is 2.93% validated against the experimental results, which satisfies the precision requirements of engineering design.
The Guantang Bridge in Liuzhou City, with a main span of 457 m, is a through steel box arch bridge. The MIDAS/Civil three-dimensional finite element calculation and analysis software is used to establish a spatial dynamic calculation model, conduct structural dynamic characteristics analysis, and use response spectrum analysis and time history analysis methods to conduct structural seismic response analysis. The results show that the bridge has good dynamic and seismic performance.
For reinforced concrete arch bridges formed by the strong skeletal method, when calculating the non-strong skeletal structure, only the steel tubes are considered as ordinary reinforcement without accounting for composite force effects, which has a minimal impact and leans towards safety. However, for strong skeletal structures, if composite force effects are not considered, the calculation results are excessively conservative. In this paper, taking the Xining River Extra Large Bridge as a background, the influence of composite force effects of the strong skeletal structure on the ultimate load-bearing capacity of the arch ring is analyzed under the influence of dual nonlinearity.
Based on the difficulties encountered during the construction period of the Sichuan Hejiang Yangtze River Third Bridge with a main span of 507 m—Concrete filled steel tube (CFST) Tied Arch Bridge, technical research has been conducted on the mechanical properties of ultra-high strength CFST (≥ C70), the structural construction of large-span CFST tied arch bridge, and the installation process of the main arch. Based on the research results, this report introduces the calculation method of ultra-high strength CFST, the structural system design of CFST tied arch bridge with a main span of 507 m, the stiffness matching design of the main arch suspension system, the structural design of composite transverse brace, the installation and hanging system of the main arch, and the design of the main arch concrete pouring.
Fifth Yangtze River Bridge in Luzhou is an extra-long span half-through steel box arch bridge with thrust. The main girder deck system is subject to the direct action of vehicles, pedestrians, rail transit and other loads. At the same time, it produces a huge horizontal thrust to the arch base foundation through the slings and arch ribs. Therefore, the selection of the main girder structural type is directly related to the comfort of traveling, the steel consumption economy and the arch base foundation engineering volume. The three main girder schemes are compared from the structural form of the rail transit, the stiffness demand, the deformation limit and the force performance. The two-side box type flat steel box girder is finally selected as the deck system.
The main bridge of Shuiluohe Bridge on the Gulin Jinsha Expressway is a deck reinforced concrete arch bridge, and the main arch ring is constructed using cantilever casting method. Due to the influence of terrain and geological conditions, in order to reduce excavation of the mountain, the main arch adopts a “slope arch”, and the elevation of the arch line on Jinsha Bank is 6.7m higher than that on Gulin Bank. The main arch adopts a catenary curve non-hinge arch with a span of 335m, a rise-span ratio of 1/4.2, and an arch axis coefficient of 1.8. The main bridge adopts a left and right split design, and the arch ribs of both bridges adopt two octagonal single box single chamber structures, with transverse diaphragms connecting the arch ribs. The upper structure adopts a span of 11 × A 31.75m prestressed concrete simply supported I-shaped beam and composite bridge deck, supported by columns and cover beams on the arch. The arch base adopts open excavation to expand the foundation.
To investigate the matching relationship between steel ratio and core concrete strength in the ultra-high strength concrete-filled steel tubular (UHSCFST) columns, a total of 40 stub column specimens, considering eight different steel ratios (ranging from 5.97% to 38.72%) and three grades of high-strength concrete (C60, C80, and C100), were tested under axial compression. The results revealed that under axial compression loads, as the steel ratio of the cross-section increased from low to high, the local buckling characteristics on the surface of UHSCFST stub columns gradually diminished, transitioning from shear failure to local buckling and bulging failure. With the improvement of the strength grade of the core concrete, the steel ratio that ensures the full confining effect of the steel tube should also be increased significantly. For the specimens filled with C60, C80, and C100 concrete, the threshold value of the steel ratio that can ensure the axial compressive strength of the specimen does not decrease after reaching the peak load was 13.87%, 20.24%, and 27.16%, respectively. By comparing with the experimental data, it is found that the CFST composite strength formula recommended by the current Chinese code did not apply to UHSCFST members. Based on the regression fitting of experimental data, the formula for calculating the composite strength of UHSCFST members and the ultimate strength of UHSCFST stub columns were proposed.
The beam end of the railway bridge is the crucial part of the whole bridge, and the earthquake will cause damage to the beam end. In order to ensure the safety of the bridge and track system. To investigate the risk of seismic deformations at the beam end in railway bridges, a three-span continuous rigid frame bridge was taken as a case study and a three-dimensional finite element model of the whole bridge was established in ABAQUS. The deformation angle of the beam end was selected as the damage index, and the seismic vulnerability and risk curves of the beam end were calculated by the incremental dynamic analysis (IDA) method using 22 scaled ground motion time histories. The results show that in the same range of peak ground accelerations (PGAs), the influence of cross-bridge ground motion on the corner deformations of the beam end was much greater than that of the along-bridge ground motion. Under the along-bridge seismic excitation, the damage probabilities for the rotation angles in X, Y and Z-directions did not exceed 50 %. In different damage states, increasing in PGA correlated positively with the beam end damage probability. The vulnerability curves for PGA can be used for the seismic risk assessment of the beam end and can also provide decision support for prioritizing the seismic reinforcement of bridges.

The jacking and pouring of concrete in the main arch pipe is a key process and technical difficulty in the construction of CFST arch bridge. The concrete in the pipe of long-span CFST arch bridge has large volume, high strength, long pumping distance and long pouring time, it is prone to block and burst. Several accidents have occurred on many bridges in China. In order to reduce the construction risk of concrete pouring in the main arch pipe, the experimental research on the technology of concrete jacking and pouring in the pipe of long-span CFST arch bridge is carried out, and the influence rules of the construction process of concrete jacking and pouring in the pipe on the slump, expansion, plastic viscosity, movement mode and pumping resistance of concrete are discussed. The result shows that(1) The slump, expansion and plastic viscosity of the concrete in the pipe are reduced after the high-pressure pumping process, and the influence on the compressive strength is not obvious.(2) Under the condition of high pump pressure, the air content of concrete increases, while it decreases at the end of pumping process.(3) The movement modes of concrete in large-diameter main arch steel pipe and small-diameter pump pipe are obviously different. The former moves very slowly, mainly with the shear movement of the concrete in the pipe itself, while the latter moves faster, mainly with the piston type overall push movement.(4) The different movement modes of concrete in the pipe leads to different calculation methods of pumping pressure.The pumping resistance of concrete in the large-diameter main arch steel pipe is mainly to overcome gravity and do work, while the pumping pressure of concrete in the small-diameter pump pipe is mainly to overcome the pipe wall friction resistance and its own shear force. The calculation methods of concrete pumping pressure in the pipe of small-diameter pump pipe and large-diameter main arch steel pipe are put forward through the test, and the applicability is verified by project examples.

直线布筋先张法预应力混凝土箱梁中的预应力筋不能对梁端混凝土提供预剪力,不能有效控制混凝土斜裂缝的发展.通过在箱梁端部布置混凝土堵头板可以提高梁端截面的抗剪能力,但堵头板的存在会使箱梁内模板不便于拆除,降低施工的便利性,也造成了模板的浪费.为了研究设置箱梁堵头板的必要性和对梁端受力的影响,建立ABAQUS空间箱梁模型,分析堵头板设置与否、堵头板截面形式和厚度的变化分别对梁端附近截面的剪应力沿梁高分布情况的影响.结果表明:在直线布筋先张法预应力混凝土箱梁梁端布置堵头板具有必要性,综合考虑堵头板改善梁端受力性能的效率和经济因素后,建议采取厚度为 60 cm的开方孔堵头板.

Based on the project of the Guansheng Qujiang Bridge, the flexural mechanical properties of an ultrahigh strength concrete filled steel tube (UHSCFST) were discussed. A total of six UHSCFST beam specimens were tested, and the cube strength (fcu) of the core concrete reached 80.3–115.2 MPa. The effects of concrete strength on flexural bearing capacity, deformation characteristics, and failure modes of UHSCFST specimens were discussed. Test results showed that the bending failure modes of UHSCFST specimens were the same as those of ordinary ones. The failure of UHSCFST specimens was attributed to excessive deflection, and local buckling occurred in the compression zone. Moreover, the bending capacity of the specimens did not decrease, even if they had yielded. Although ultrahigh strength concrete was poured, all of the specimens displayed outstanding bending ductility. The main function of core concrete was to provide radial restraint for the steel tube to avoid premature buckling. When the steel content of the specimen section was constant, the strength increases of core concrete had a slight impact on the bending failure mode, bearing capacity and ductility of UHSCFST specimen. The research results can deepen the understanding of the mechanical behaviors of the UHSCFST composite truss structure.
