Abstract

One long-span bridge adopted the cantilever casting method, which is pre-stressed concrete variable cross-section continuous box girder structure. In the construction process, due to the concrete pouring, hanging basket moving, construction loads, pre-stressed tension, concrete shrinkage and creep, temperature, humidity and many other factors. There will be such problems of cantilever beam segment closed error and the bridge line-type do not coincide in design goals. In this paper, we use the bridge dedicated finite element program MIDAS / Civil procedural for modeling and structural analysis. Analyze the problems of deflection control and pre-camber adjustment of cantilever construction, in order to ensure that the bridge closure smoothly in accordance with the design standards.
