Abstract: |
In order to determine the reasonable completed dead load state in earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges, a practical method is proposed. The method is based on the rigidly supported continuous beam method and the feasible zone method, emphasizing on the mutual effect between the self-anchored structural parts and the earth-anchored ones. Three cable-stayed bridge models are designed with the main spans of 1 400 m, including a partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge, a cable-stayed-suspension bridge and a fully self-anchored cable-stayed bridge, in which the C50 concrete and Q345 steel are adopted. The partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge and the cable-stayed-suspension bridge secure lower compressive force in the girder than the fully self-anchored cable-stayed bridge by 25 percent at least. The same is for the material consumption of the whole bridge. Furthermore, the anchor volume is more than 20% lower in the partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge than that in the cable-stayed-suspension bridge. Consequently, the practical span of cable-stayed bridges can be accordingly extended. |
