  • Comparison Between Steel Arch Bridges in China and Japan
    Journal of JSCE, Vol. 1, 214-227, 2013 COMPARISON BETWEEN STEEL ARCH BRIDGES IN CHINA AND JAPAN Kangming CHEN1, Shozo NAKAMURA2, Baochun CHEN3, Qingxiong WU3 and Takafumi NISHIKAWA4 1Student Member of JSCE, PhD Candidate, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Eng., Nagasaki University (1-14, Bukyo-machi, Nagasaki 852-8521, Japan) 2Member of JSCE, Professor, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Eng., Nagasaki University (1-14, Bukyo-machi, Nagasaki 852-8521, Japan) E-mail: [email protected] 3Professor, College of Civil Eng., University of Fuzhou (2, Xueyuan Road, Minhou, Fuzhou 350108, China) 4Member of JSCE, Assistant Professor, Dept. of Civil and Environmental Eng., Nagasaki University (1-14, Bukyo-machi, Nagasaki 852-8521, Japan) A review of the current status and progress of steel arch bridges in China and Japan, as well as an outline of the design vehicle load and design method against global buckling for such bridges, is presented in this paper. The existing steel arch bridges in China and Japan were analyzed in terms of year of completion, main span length, structure type, main arch rib form and construction method. It is shown that the steel arch bridge in China has developed rapidly since 2000, characterized by a long main span, while in Japan it has stepped into a fast-growing period since 1955, with medium and small bridges holding a great majority. As for the main span length, most of the bridges have a span from 100m to 250m in China, while majority of bridges are shorter than 150m in Japan. Over 80% of the bridges in China are through and half-through bridge types, and the arch ribs are hingeless structures.

    Advances in Engineering Research (AER), volume 132 2017 Global Conference on Mechanics and Civil Engineering (GCMCE 2017) Virtual Assembly Technology on Steel Bridge Members of Bolt Connection Zhu Hao CCCC Second Harbors Engineering Co., Ltd., Wuhan, Hubei 430040, China CCCC Highway Bridges National Engineering Research Centre CO., Ltd. [email protected] Keywords: steel bridge members; virtual assembly; steel truss girder; bolted connection; digital measure Abstract: Trial assembling is an indispensable procedure for the large bridge steel elements, especially for the high strength blot connected steel elements. To replace the traditional assembling method inside the factory, this paper brings out the virtual assembling procedures and method based on the bolt connected bridge, and introduces the typical data measuring method and model establishing, which can be used for complicated elements multi-surface assembling of the steel truss bridge calculation. This technique has already been tested in Hutong Yangtze River Bridge non-navigation span steel structure factory by the means of advanced laser tracking test system. The virtual trial assembling software realized the complicated steel truss girder manufacturing deviation analysis and assembling deviation analysis. After perfecting, the bridge trial assembling inside the factory can be replaced by this method. 1. Introduction In recent years, truss bridge has become common in railway bridges and highway and railway combined bridges. With the development of high-speed rail for the past few years, the long-span steel truss bridge has also developed rapidly, such as: Wuhan Tianxingzhou Yangtze River Bridge, Wuhu Yangtze River Bridge, Chongqing Chaotianmen Bridge and Baling River Bridge. The main girder structure of these bridges all adopted truss structure as they all have large quantity of member bars installed and complicated bolting or welding joints.

  • CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Bridge Is a Structure
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Bridge is a structure that is built over a railway, river, or road so that people or vehicles can cross from one side to the other. Another definition of the bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle. A bridge is included in an important component of the road because it determines the maximum load of vehicles that can pass through the road [1]. The history of the bridge has been very long along with the occurrence of transportation between humans with other humans and with the environment around, various - kinds of shapes and construction materials used to change in accordance with the progress of the era and technology ranging from the construction of a very simple bridge to use construction that can be spelled out very great. The first bridge was made using wood tied to cross the river. The use of reeds or other fibers knitted together can bind the materials used to build the bridge at first [1]. The bridge is the most important part in the transportation of land and sea. Generally bridges are used for connecting roads across rivers, hills, mountains, connections between road access (intersections not intersect), or inter island links. Sometimes appropriate technical analysis and needs in the field required a bridge with a long stretch. User convenience factor is one of the important variables in determining type and model of long span bridge [2].
