The present disclosure relates to the technical field of engineering structures, and in particular, relates to a method for calculating a bending moment resistance of an internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with corrugated steel webs (CSWs) and a double-concrete-filled steel tube (CFST) lower flange.
Bridge engineering has seen the widespread use of post-tensioned composite beams with CSWs, which have the advantages of low deadweight, high prestressing application efficiency, good load-carrying capacity and ductility. Although conventional composite beams with CSWs have superior properties, their lower concrete flanges are still prone to crack in the tension zone under bending moment, thereby affecting adversely the safety and durability of the structure.
In order to solve the above problems, an internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange comes into being. The composite beam is composed of an upper concrete flange, the CSWs, a double-CFST lower flange, internal unbonded post-tensioning strands (IUPSs), and sway bracings. Since the CFST lower flange can give full play to the tensile properties of steel, it can effectively avoid the cracking problem of the lower flange and improve the spanning capacity of the composite beam. Arranging the IUPSs in the CFST can avoid the maintenance problem caused by the corrosion of external strands in contact with the outside world, so the economic performance of the composite beam can be improved. Therefore, this composite beam has a broad development prospect. At present, there are still few studies on simplified methods for calculating the bending moment resistance of the internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange.
An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a method for theoretically calculating a bending moment resistance of an internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange through several simple iterative operations, and improve the calculation efficiency and accuracy of the bending moment resistance of the composite beam.

An objective of the present disclosure is to provide a method for calculating a bending moment resistance of an internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs, so as to obtain a theoretical calculation value of the bending moment resistance of the internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange through several simple iterative operations, and improve the calculation efficiency and accuracy of the bending moment resistance of the composite beam.
To make the above objective, features, and advantages of the present disclosure clearer and more comprehensible, the present disclosure will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementations.
Step 101: a degradation law of sectional flexural rigidity of the internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange is determined based on numerical analysis.
The degradation law of sectional flexural rigidity of the internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange can be revealed based on numerical analysis.
Step 102: a sectional flexural rigidity degradation model of the composite beam is established according to the degradation law of the sectional flexural rigidity of the composite beam.
B and B0 are the sectional secant flexural rigidity and equivalent initial flexural rigidity of the composite beam respectively. M and Mu are a sectional bending moment and the ultimate bending moment resistance of the composite beam respectively.
Therefore, a process of establishing the sectional flexural rigidity degradation model of the composite beam according to the degradation law of the sectional flexural rigidity of the composite beam in step 102 specifically includes the following steps.
The sectional flexural rigidity degradation model
of the composite beam is established according to the degradation law of the sectional flexural rigidity of the composite beam. B and B0 are the sectional secant flexural rigidity and equivalent initial flexural rigidity of the composite beam respectively. M and Mu are an actual moment at any section and an ultimate bending moment resistance, respectively.
Step 103: a bending moment diagram of the composite beam is segmented based on the sectional flexural rigidity degradation model, and a segmented integral equation of IUPS strain increment is established.
The IUPS strain increment Δεp can be calculated as Formula (2):
Δlp and lp are the elongation and original length of the IUPSs respectively. l0 is a clear span of the composite beam. e(x) is an eccentric distance of a centroid of a IUPSs section in any beam section relative to a neutral axis of the section, and is a constant em for linear IUPSs. f(x) is a deflection curve of the beam.
According to a curvature expression of a bending member, a relational expression (3) between the sectional curvature ϕ(x) and the sectional bending moment M(x), the sectional flexural rigidity B(x), and the deflection curve of the composite beam f(x) is obtained:
The expression (2) of Δεp is rewritten by Formula (3) to obtain an approximate calculation formula (4) of Δεp:
Specifically, as shown in
According to the above segmentation method, segmental integration is performed on Δεp to establish the segmented integral equation shown in Formula (5):
l0 is the clear span of the beam.
In order to simplify the calculation, the flexural rigidity of each section of the composite beam in each segment can be taken as the average flexural rigidity of the sections of the composite beam in this segment, which is taken according to Formula (6). It should be noted that if there is a pure bending region in the segment, the flexural rigidity of the pure bending region should be taken according to the flexural rigidity degradation model (1).
Therefore, a process of segmenting the bending moment diagram of the composite beam based on the sectional flexural rigidity degradation model, and establishing the segmented integral equation of IUPS strain increment in step 103 specifically includes the following steps.
The bending moment diagram of the composite beam is segmented based on the sectional flexural rigidity degradation model, and the segmented integral equation of the IUPS strain increment
is established. Δεp is the IUPS strain increment. em is an UPS eccentricity relative to the neutral axis of the beam section for the composite beam arranged with straight IUPSs. lp is the total IUPS length. l0 is a clear span of the composite beam. lA, lB, lC, and lD are distances from each segment point to a left end point of the beam after the bending moment diagram of the composite beam is segmented according to the bending moment. M(x) is the sectional bending moment of the composite beam. B(x) is the sectional flexural rigidity of the composite beam. B1(x), B2(x), B3(x), B4(x), and B5(x) are the sectional flexural rigidity of the composite beam in each segment respectively.
Step 104: an equilibrium equation of force and a bending moment is established by considering contributions of concrete, the steel tubes, the upper steel flange, the IUPSs, and reinforcement in the composite beam.
First, the following basic assumptions are established: The CSWs work in coordination with the upper and lower flanges, and the possible tiny relative slip and shear connection failure at the interface between the CSWs and the flanges are neglected.; (2) the contribution of the CSWs to the bending moment resistance is ignored; (3) the assumption that the plane beam section remains plane after loading is discarded. The normal strain distribution through the depth of the upper and lower flanges remains linear, and the upper concrete flange and the lower concrete-filled steel tube have similar sectional rotation around their own centroid axes.; (4) the tensile strength of concrete is not considered; and (5) shear deformation is not considered when calculating the IUPS strain increment.
Ap, Atu, Af, and Ar are sectional areas of the IUPSs, the steel tubes, the upper steel flange, and the reinforcement respectively. σp is stress of the IUPSs. σf is stress of the upper steel flange, and since a distance between the upper steel flange and the compressive force point of concrete is usually small, its contribution may be ignored. hp, htu, hf, and hr are distances from the resultant forces of the IUPSs, the steel tubes, the upper steel flange, and the reinforcement to the top of an upper concrete flange respectively. fy and fry are yield strength of the steel tubes and the reinforcement respectively. α1fc and x are the equivalent concrete compressive strength and the depth of the concrete stress block respectively. b is a width of the upper concrete flange.
Therefore, a process of establishing the basic assumptions first and then establishing the equilibrium equation of the force and the bending moment by considering the contributions of the concrete, the steel tubes, the upper steel flange, the IUPSs, and the reinforcement in the composite beam in step 104 specifically includes the following steps.
The following basic assumptions are established: (1) the CSWs and the upper and lower flanges work in coordination without relative slip or shear connection failure; (2) the contribution of the CSWs to the bending moment resistance is ignored; (3) the plane section assumption of the entire section is no longer valid, but longitudinal strains of the upper and lower flanges are still linearly distributed within their respective height ranges, and the upper and lower flanges have the same turning angle; (4) the tensile strength of concrete is not considered; and (5) the influence of shear deformation on the elongation of the IUPSs is not considered.
The equilibrium equations of the force and the bending moment
established by considering the contributions of the concrete, the steel tubes, the upper steel flange, the IUPSs, and the reinforcement in the composite beam. Ap, Atu, Af, and Ar are sectional areas of the IUPSs, the steel tubes, the upper steel flange, and the reinforcement respectively. σp is stress of the IUPSs. σf is stress of the upper steel flange, and since a distance between the upper steel flange and the compressive force point of concrete is usually small, its contribution may be ignored. hp, htu, hf, and hr are distances from the resultant forces of the IUPSs, the steel tubes, the upper steel flange, and the reinforcement to the top of an upper concrete flange respectively. fy and fry are yield strength of the steel tubes and the reinforcement respectively. α1fc and x are the equivalent concrete compressive strength and the depth of the concrete stress block respectively. b is a width of the upper concrete flange.
Step 105: the bending moment resistance of the composite beam is iteratively calculated according to the equilibrium equation of the force and the bending moment and the segmented integral equation to obtain a theoretical calculation value of the bending moment resistance of the composite beam.
A process of iteratively calculating the bending moment resistance of the composite beam according to the equilibrium equations of the force and the bending moment (7) and (8) and the segmented integral equation (5) includes the following specific steps.
Step 5.1: it is assumed that the stress of the IUPSs σp is equal to the initial effective prestress σcon corresponding to the initial strain of the IUPSs εp0, and is substituted into the equilibrium equations (7) and (8) for initial iterative calculation to solve the bending moment resistance at the initial stage Mu0.
Step 5.2: Mu is assigned with Mu0, and substituted into the equation (6) and the segmented integral equation (5) to calculate the initial strain increment Δεp0.
Step 5.3: during the i-th iterative calculation, the total strain of the IUPSs εpi = εp(i-1) + Δεp(i-1) is calculated and the corresponding stress of the IUPSs σpi is obtained.
Step 5.4: σp is assigned with σpi, and substituted into the equilibrium equations of the force and the bending moment (7) and (8) established in step 104 for the i-th iterative operation to solve the bending moment resistance at the i-th stage Mui.
Step 5.5: Mu is assigned with Mui, and substituted into Formula (6) and the segmented integral equation (5) to calculate the strain increment Δεpi during the i-th iteration calculation.
Step 5.6: i=i+1 is set, steps 5.3 to 5.5 are repeated until the error of the sectional bending moment obtained in the adjacent iteration steps is less than 5%, and the bending moment resistance calculated in this iteration Mui is used as the theoretical calculation value of the bending moment resistance of the composite beam.
The present disclosure provides a method for calculating a bending moment resistance of an internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange. First, the sectional flexural rigidity degradation model of the composite beam is provided. Based on the model, the IUPS strain increment in the beam is calculated by segmental integration. Then, based on the internal force equilibrium equation of the beam section, a simplified method for calculating a bending moment resistance of an internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange considering the prestress increment of the IUPSs is provided. Using the simplified calculation method provided by the present disclosure, the theoretical calculation value of the bending moment resistance of the internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange can be obtained through several simple iterative operations. Based on the sectional flexural rigidity degradation model of the composite beam, the method of the present disclosure clearly considers the influence of the prestress increment of the internal IUPSs on the bending moment resistance of the composite beam in the whole bending process, which has the characteristics of high efficiency and accuracy.
The implementation process of the method of the present disclosure is further described below through embodiments in combination with the accompanying drawings.
In order to evaluate the accuracy of the method proposed above, numerical analysis is performed by the finite element software ANSYS. 13 internal unbonded post-tensioned composite beams with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange are designed and subjected to the four-point bending test, and the studied parameters include different cases of the span-to-depth ratio, the concrete compressive strength, the initial effective prestress of IUPSs, the width of the upper concrete flange, and the yield strength of the steel tubes.
The integral expression of the IUPS strain increment in the beam Δεp is shown in Formula (4).
The bending moment diagram of the unbonded post-tensioned composite beam with CSWs and a double-CFST lower flange subjected to four-point symmetrical bending under simply supported conditions is drawn. According to the segment points of the flexural rigidity degradation model provided by the present disclosure, the bending moment diagram is segmented according to the bending moment, as shown in
Δεp is subjected to segmented integration according to Formula (9), the flexural rigidity of the pure bending segment is taken according to the flexural rigidity degradation model (1), the flexural rigidity of the composite beam in other segments is taken as the average flexural rigidity in the section of the composite beam in the segment, and la is the distance from the loading point to the beam end.
The equilibrium equations of the force and moment of the composite beam section are listed. Since the distance between the centroid of the reinforcement section and the compressive force point of concrete is small, its contribution is ignored. It is assumed that the stress of the IUPSs σp is the initial prestress σcon corresponding to the initial strain of the IUPSs εp0, and is substituted into equilibrium equations (7) and (8) for initial iterative calculation to solve the bending moment resistance at the initial stage Mu0. Mu0 is substituted into Formula (9) to calculate the initial strain increment Δεp0. The total strain for the first iteration εp1 = εp0 +Δεp0 is calculated and the corresponding stress of the IUPSs σp1 is obtained. The first iterative calculation is performed by substituting σp1 into the equilibrium equation of the force and moment to solve the bending moment resistance at the first stage Mu1.
The calculation results are shown in Table 1.
