基于组合单元的混凝土斜拉桥结构分析

组合单元是一种针对钢筋混凝土结构数值计算而产生的单元形式,是对原有实体等参元的继承和拓展,能够分别考虑混凝土和钢筋各自对单元刚度矩阵的贡献。在计算该单元刚度矩阵时,只在单元内有混凝土的区域内积分,可计算出混凝土刚度矩阵;又采用独立的空间杆单元模拟在单元内部的钢筋,建立钢筋刚度矩阵;而两者又通过自由度变换的方法有机的结合在一起,形成一种新的单元形式。和常规的实体单元相比,该单元具有:网格划分自由;能够以较少的单元模拟复杂的结构形式;尤其在计算混凝土收缩、徐变效应时,可以考虑钢筋的阻碍作用;再通过引入用于辅助单元,可以实现对现代化大跨径混凝土桥梁仿真分析的全桥建模。经吉林省西昌混凝土斜拉桥静载试验实测数据对比分析,该单元能够准确的计算出结构变形,其应力、应变等各项指标也能满足工程精度要求。

STRUCTURE ANALYSIS OF CONCRETE CABLE-STAYED BRIDGE BASED ON COMPOSITE ELEMENT

To analyze the performance of reinforced concrete structures numerically, the composite element is developed, which inherits and expands the features of the original isoparametric element, and can consider contributions of concrete and steel to the element stiffness separately. Compared with normal solid elements, the composite element has the following advantages: more flexible meshing, less elements involved, and steel's resistant effects considered. Employing the composite element and other assistant elements, the structural simulation of a modern large span concrete bridge can be realized. Compared with the actual static load test data of Xi'chang concrete cable-stayed bridge, the accuracy of the composite element is verified satisfying the requirement of engineering practice.
