Ultimate Bearing Capacity Analysis of Concrete Filled Steel Tubular Arch Considering the Initial Defects’ Influence

Article Preview

Abstract:

In the CFST arch bridge construction process, for the reasons of arch axis deviation as prefabricated or constructed, the bearing capacity of arch-rib decreased. This paper considers material and geometric non-linear double factors, calculates the arch-rib ultimate bearing capacity of a CFST arch/continuous beam bridge with defects of arch axis deviation and steel yield stress decrease because of heat treatment, obtain the influence of defects to arch bearing capacity.
