Abstract:
Concrete arch bridge has the advantages of beautiful shape, good overall performance, large crossing distance, excellent durability and low economic cost. However, some problems still exist such as excessive arch ring weight, low bearing efficiency, difficult concrete webs pouring and long construction period. In order to solve the above problems of concrete arch bridge, the concept of concrete arch bridge with UHPC butterfly webs is proposed. Based on Wumeng Mountain Bridge with concrete arch bridge with UHPC butterfly webs, the trial design of this new type of bridge is carried out. The results show that static properties of the new bridge type from three aspects of arch ring strength, stability and deformation are checked, and all meet the requirements of the code, UHPC butterfly webs instead of steel truss webs have little effect on the dynamic characteristics of arch bridge. The new bridge type has the characteristics of significantly reducing the self-weight of concrete arch bridge, high bearing efficiency, and more mature and relatively simple construction methods. New bridge type can meet the design requirements. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
