Abstract

The structural behaviors in each construction stage were monitored and analyzed against the background of a long-span prestressed concrete continuous box girder bridge with spans of 55+100+55 m. At first, the formwork erection elevation and pre-camber of the bridge in each stage, as well as stress values of key cross-sections were determined by simulating the whole construction process using the finite element software. Then, the design parameters were identified and the model was corrected by field data collection and considering various influencing factors, so as to ensure effectiveness of the model. Finally, the formwork erection elevation was adjusted according to the stress and altitude in each construction stage, followed by closure of the bridge. According to field monitoring and adjustment, the measured alignment and stress of the bridge conform to the design and the error meets the requirements of specification, indicating a favorable monitoring effect. The research can provide reference for construction of similar bridges.
