Behaviour Analysis of Prestressed Concrete Deck-Tied Arch Bridge

The prestressed concrete deck-tied arch bridge doesn’t only have a long span, good appearance and economy, but also have the characteristics of low requirements to the foundation. It changes traditional tied arch bridge into deck-tied arch bridge, which looks like sunflower-shaped arch and prestressed steel strands are embedded in box girder on the top of the arch. Taking Yingbin Bridge as engineering background, the reasonable analysis model was established and behaviour of the bridge under design load was analyzed. The results shown that the design project is reasonable, prestressing force embedded in box girder can balance horizontal thrust in arch bridge effectively, improving the internal force of the main arch ring.
