Study on Structural Parameter Sensitivity and the Force Transmission Mechanism of Steel–Concrete Joints in Hybrid Beam Bridges

In this study, a refined model of the Shanghai Damaogang Bridge’s (hybrid beam type) box deck joints is established. The correctness of the model is verified by construction monitoring. For the front and back bearing plates, the force performance of the joint members under the most unfavorable loads is investigated, and the force transmission mechanism is analyzed. The influence of the bearing plate thickness and the joints’ stiffness on the stress distribution of the joint members, the internal force of the joints, and the force-transfer efficiency is investigated by the method of controlling variables, and the optimal structural parameters of the nodes are also studied. The results show that, within the proximity of the back bearing plate, the thickness of the back bearing plate affects stress distribution in the joint. The increased stiffness of the welding studs makes the range of shear force along the bridge direction of the top and bottom welding studs larger, and the longitudinal distribution of welding stud shear force is more uneven. The concrete structure bears a higher proportion of the internal force in the joint compared to the steel structure.
