Mechanical behavior and failure modes of han river north bridge under ultimate loads

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingConference contributionpeer-review

Abstract

The Han River North Bridge is a five-span tied rigid-frame concrete filled steel tubular arch bridge without lateral braces. The maximum span of the bridge is 160 meters, which is the largest one in those arch bridges without lateral braces in the world. The bridge is also the largest concrete filled steel tubular arch bridge with back-to-back shaped ribs. By eigenvalue buckling analysis on the Han River North Bridge, a conclusion is drawn that the arch ribs have a weaker lateral rigidity than the one in-plane. Due to the dissymmetrical wind action caused by the side ribs, the two arch ribs have different buckling modes under ultimate loads. Meanwhile, the ultimate bearing capacity of the bridge during operation is determined by that of the springings on side ribs.
