Abstrakt: |
A promising system for accelerated bridge construction is the simply supported T-girder bridge with wide girder spacing and steel diaphragms. However, the influence of steel diaphragms on this system is unclear. A space grillage model was presented to conduct a parametric study. Three forms of the number of steel diaphragms were considered: with three diaphragms, with two end diaphragms only, and without diaphragm. It is found that the reduction of the number of steel diaphragms reduces the stresses of girders under dead load; under eccentric vehicle load, the removal of steel diaphragms changes the load transfer coefficient and leads to uneven load distribution. However, under load combination conditions, the removal of steel diaphragms has a modest positive effect of reducing stress and deflection envelop values for girders and can bring the most adverse situation of each girder closer. |
