Stability Analysis of Single-Pier Variable Cross-Section Box-Girder Continuous Bridge

On the basis of Umansky box-girder torsion theory, the software of ANSYS is applied to simulate related engineering model. In considering a variety of live load conditions, the lateral stability of multi-span single-pier variable cross-section box-girder under torsion eccentric load is analyzed. Analysis results reveal that under different working conditions, the factors affecting the transverse stability of the bridge and the proportion of the value on each, such as gravity, the span ratio and the distance between support are different; When the overload ratio is 2 times larger, the bridge stability safety coefficient decreases along the curve and changes rapidly. In the future design of this kind of bridge, the overall lateral stability should be paid much more attention. Some methods and suggestions about how to prevent the emergence of security and stability problems are put forward in the end.
