Static Load Test and Finite Element Analysis of a Partially Cable-Stayed Continuous Rigid-Frame Bridge

Xie Kai-zhong

Abstract

The load test for a 3-span partially cable-stayed continuous rigid-frame bridge was made,in which the load was applied in terms of equivalent moment.By comparison of the test results of stresses and displacement at the testing points of the controlled parts under different load cases with the calculations by the finite element method,the strength and rigidity of the bridge were analyzed.
