Exploration on Unified Describing Method for Rigidity of Large-span Railway Bridge

Research purposes: Based on the built bridges,this paper further studies the method describing the stiffness of railway bridges and dynamic characteristics of long-span prestressed concrete continuous beam(rigid structure) bridge and the train running performance,which would be helpful for improving the design quality of the bridge in(question) and developing even longer span for such kind of bridge.A uniform method was put forward describing the(stiffness) of railway bridges.Research conclusions:The description is given to the bridge rigidity with change rates((curvature)) of lateral direction,vertical direction and angle of torsion at beam ends and other locations under the design load,and the reference limit value is derived for designing rigidity of railway large-span prestressed concrete(continuous) beam bridge(rigid structure).With this method,not only can the rigidity of simple-supported bean be(described) easily and conform to the existing standards,but also can the rigidities be described easily for large-span bridge and special beam structure those are not covered by the existing standards.This method and its research(achievement) are hopeful for improving the research and design level of bridge rigidity and providing technical support for development of larger-span bridge.
