Stress distribution in anchorage zone between beam and cable for cable-stayed bridge with steel box girder

In order to verify the rationality and security of anchorage zone arrangement between beam and cable for a cable-stayed bridge with steel box girder,the stress state and distribution in anchorage zone of Hangzhou Bay Bridge was studied. The finite element simulation was employed to model the anchorage zone,the stress distribution of some structural members was investigated. and the load-carrying performance of this structure was evaluated. The results of simulation were verified by the reduced scale model test of anchorage zone for Hangzhou Bay Bridge with the scale of 1∶3. The theoretical and experimental analyses indicate that the stress distribution and transimission for structural members in anchorage zone are are reasonable and smoothly with,satisfying carrying capacity.
