摘要
In recent years, long-span concrete bridges that have been built frequently expose the problems of excessive deflection and concrete cracking, which even lead to bridge collapse in serious cases. The reason is that, in addition to the insufficient estimation of creep and long-term deflection in current regulations, the rapid growth of traffic volume and the tight use of early-age concrete in construction schedules also have a great impact on long-term deflection. However, at present, the calculation methods of long-term performance are mostly based on the results of material performance tests. However, there are relatively few studies that take bridge components as research objects and consider the influence of load and age factors. The long-term performance of concrete beams is examined and the calculation methods of long-term performance are given by considering various loading levels and ages. Specimens are fabricated using a 1:4 scale model of a standard T-beam with a length of 20 m to conduct the experiment. Based on the long-term observation of the test beam, the variation laws of the mid-span deflection of the concrete T-beam and the concrete strain in the compression zone with time are obtained under the aforementioned conditions. Following a comparative analysis of experimental results with computational results based on existing studies and relevant national and international codes, this study proposes and discusses a set of formulas for the assessment of shrinkage and creep. The obtained creep coefficient test results fall between the values of the Chinese specification and those of AASHTO, where ASSTO is the lower limit and the Chinese specification is the upper limit. The long-term deflection is as follows: 40% of the one-year value at one month, 66% of the one-year value at three months, and 80% of the one-year value at six months. However, the long-term deflection coefficient of beams with an early loading age is larger than the current standard, and the deflection coefficient of T-beams with three-day loading age reaches 6.0. We compare and discuss the test results with the calculation results and related codes obtained in different studies conducted at home and abroad. Based on our present findings, we propose formulas for shrinkage and creep evaluations.
