Aiming to Ronggui Bridge (RGB) on Guangzhou-Zhuhai Intercity Rapid Rail Transit (GZIRRT), long term deformation control of long-span pre-stressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridge with ballastless track was studied. Comparing with the non-controlled deformation, extend track laying six months later after bridge construction, reserve 48 post-tensioned cables in middle spans and tension 12 external tendons after tracking laying were all effective in decreasing the long term deformation of RGB with individual application. Taking bridge construction and railway service in consideration, applying the foregoing three measures in combination, deformation of RGB 20 years later after track laying was effectively controlled within 12.8mm in the side spans and 21.9mm in the middle spans, which is less than the deformation limitation of bridges with ballastless track. The combined measure has been adopted in the actual construction of RGB.

The excessive long-term deflections of a long span continuous girder bridge may induce vehicles to move unsafely and hazard to the bridge operation, thus to limit the development of this bridge type. In this paper the main parameters influencing the long-term deflections of a continuous rigid-frame bridge, such as pre-stressed losses, mass distribution of the box girder and Young’s modules of concrete etc., were investigated. With the establishment of the finite element model of a real bridge and the premise of describing mechanism of each parameter, detailed parameter sensitivity analysis of long-term deflections were carried out with numerical simulation method. The results of this study may help to understand the main mechanism about the long-term deflection of continuous rigid-frame bridge and provide some reference for the wide use of this type of bridges.

To consider the effect of non-uniform shrinkage of box girder sections on the long-term deformations of continuous rigid frame bridges, and to improve the prediction accuracy of analysis in the design phase, this paper proposes a new simulation technique for use with general-purpose finite element program. The non-uniform shrinkage effect of the box girder is transformed to an equivalent temperature gradient and then applied as external load onto the beam elements in the finite element analysis. Comparative analysis of the difference in deflections between uniform shrinkage and nonuniform shrinkage of the main girder was made for a vehicular bridge in reality using the proposed technique. The results indicate that the maximum deflection of box girder under the action of non-uniform shrinkage is much greater than that under the action of uniform shrinkage. The maximum downward deflection of the bridge girder caused by uniform shrinkage is 5.6 mm at 20 years after completion of bridge deck construction, whereas the maximum downward deflection caused by non-uniform shrinkage is 21.6 mm, which is 3.8 times larger. This study shows that the non-uniform shrinkage effect of the girder sections has a significant impact on the long-term deflection of continuous rigid frame bridge, and it can be accurately simulated by the proposed transformation technique.

Bottom Slab

Most of steel beams in midspan bottom slab are fixed up following the shape of girder bottom edge with both ends anchoring to the bottom slab wedge. Due to the girder of long-span continuous rigid-frame bridge has variable cross section, the shape of steel beams in midspan bottom slab presents a curve opening downward, which does harm to the girder. Arranging steel beams along straight line in the bottom slab with both ends anchoring to the top wedge is better for girder to carry load. The analysis results of two methods analyzed by FEM shows that arranging of straight line lowers the stress of the top edge of girder meanwhile it increases the stress of bottom slab edge. Besides, the method lowers pressure stress and shear stress of the height middle of the girder where the steel beam anchoring and increases the main tension stress reservation which is good for the girder to carry load.

Rigid frame bridge is widely used in China because of its lower cost. The aseismatic ability of rigid frame bridge is difficult to judge for designer when the bridge is used to span valley in intensity region. The seismic response of one rigid frame bridge with 160m span is calculated. It is indicated that the aseismatic ability of rigid frame bridge is good and bridge design is controlled by bending moment at bottom of pier.
