The Future

Taking one typical two-tower three-span self-anchored suspension bridge as an example, structural response has been characterized in detailed followed by its own construction steps. Meanwhile, the structure’s mechanics properties have been mathematically formulated through theoretical analysis method. Finally, the formulation has been further expressed by using a simplified beam subjected to external equivalent forces, and then the equivalent-beam theory of the self-anchored suspension bridge has been well established thereafter. As been demonstrated, the equivalent-beam theory can be easily and clearly applied to determine the vertical mechanical properties of the self-anchored suspension bridge, and could be utilized to guide the self-anchored suspension bridge deign in the future.

Self-anchored suspension bridge is widely used in Chinese City bridge engineering for the past few years. Because the anchorage system of main cable has been changed from anchorage blocks to the ends of the girder, its’ dynamic mechanics behavior is greatly distinguished with the traditional earth anchored suspension bridge. This paper studies the dynamic characteristics and seismic response of one large-span self-anchored suspension bridge which is located in China/Shenyang city. Using a spatial dynamic analysis finite element mode, the dynamic characteristics are calculated out. An artificial seismic wave is adopted as the ground motion input which is fitted with acceleration response spectrum according to the Chinese bridge anti-seismic design code. Time-integration method is used to get the seismic time-history response. Geometry nonlinear effect is considered during the time-history analysis. At last, the dynamic characteristics and the behavior of earthquake response of this type bridge structure are discussed clearly. The research results can be used as the reference of seismic response analysis and anti-seismic design for the same type of bridge.

This paper made a thorough influencing parameter analysis on the unstressed state and completed state of main cable of self-anchored suspension bridge. The main cable curve, the amount and the action point of the resultant force of main cable on the main saddle were considered as the controlling objectives, the rational completed state of main cable was defined; Wusong bridge in Jilin city was taken as an example, the finite element mode of main cable was created. The unstressed state and the completed state of main cable under different parameters were calculated, and all the results were compared with the reference state, the influences of each parameter deviation on the state of main cable were studied: the self-weight and erection temperature of main cable had little effect on the state of main cable; the length of the mid-span main cable mainly influenced itself line-shape, while the length of the side-span main cable had significant effect on each controlling objective; made the unstressed line-shape of main cable as the controlling condition, the position deviation of the main saddle and back anchorage facet, happened before the main cable erection stage, had little effect on the completed state, but which will have great effect on the completed state when they happened after the main cable erection stage. Engineering example analysis results showed that, the tensile stiffness of main cable and the boom-completed force would have some effect on the completed state of main cable, and the tensile stiffness of main cable and the self-weight of the main beam should be tested before erecting the main cable, in the same time the deviation should be control within the rational limits; recommended that the unstressed shape of main cable should pre-lift, which could counteract the deformation of the main saddle and the back anchorage facet at the completed stage, this conclusion had a strong guiding significance and reference value on the work of constructing the main cable of self-anchored suspension bridge.
