Abstract:
Load frequency spectrum is one of the key issues to study Bridge's fatigue damage caused by actual traffic loads. For the expressway bridges, the research concerning the evaluation method of the reinforced concrete bridge's fatigue damage based on the data taken from highway toll station's weight system has great practical significance. In this study, a continuous rigid frame bridge, named Xiabaishi Bridge with span arrangement 145+2x260+145 m located in Shen-Hai Expressway was selected as a case study; the fatigue damage caused by actual traffic loads was examined: Firstly, the vehicle records that passed Xiabaishi Bridge from all toll station traffic records of Fujian province during the period from January to February in 2009 were chosen and screened, and 22 kinds of vehicle models were obtained after statistical analysis. Then, nine classified kinds of vehicle models were determined, and their frequencies of occurrence obtained based on Miner's hypothesis was adopt as the load frequency spectrum for fatigue damage analysis of the Xiabaishi Bridge. It is concluded that 6-axle trucks only accounts for 6% of all vehicles while account for 58.7% of total fatigue damage. Therefore, 6-axle trucks are the vehicle type that causes most fatigue damage of the bridge.
