大跨度薄壁墩连续刚构桥稳定性分析

高墩大跨度连续刚构桥悬浇施工中,最大悬臂状态下结构的稳定性至关重要。运用线性和非线性屈曲两种分析方法,分别考虑结构的几何非线性,以及几何与材料双重非线性的影响,对武汉正在兴建的某大跨度连续刚构桥施工稳定性进行了分析。计算得到的线性屈曲稳定系数远远大于非线性稳定系数,表明线性屈曲分析结果不可靠,而宜采用非线性进行计算。运用边缘纤维屈服准则对非线性稳定分析进行判断,比运用极限承载力准则更快捷,更利于工程初设的快速运用。

Stability Analysis of Large Span Continuous Rigid Frame Bridge with Thin-wall Pier

During cantilever cast in construction of high-pier and large-span continuous rigid frame bridges,structural stability in the longest cantilevered stage is very important.Based on a practical design case of a large-span continuous rigid frame bridge in Wuhan,the longest span stability is calculated with linear-buckling and nonlinear-buckling methods,respectively.The influence of both geometrical nonlinearity and the bi-nonlinearity of material and geometry are considered.Numerical results indicate that the nonlinear solution is (necessary) to stability analysis because linear buckling loads are much higher than those of nonlinear buckling.Thus,the edge fiber yield criterion is more convenient and faster than ultimate loading criterion when estimating nonlinear stability of structure,and can be used easily in the initial engineering design.
