Abstract:This paper presents a field loading test and analytical modeling for the inclined tower cable-stayed bridge without back-stays, Hongshan bridge. The object of the study is to evaluate the design theory and structural behavior of the bridge. Test results were compared with the calculating results of 3D finite element model, including the static behavior—the stress and deformation of the girder and bridge tower, cable forces,and the dynamic behavior—the structural frequency, damping ratio and impact coefficient. Moreover, torsional properties of the box girder with 13-meter-long steel-concrete composite cantilevers were analyzed. The results showed that the measured values agreed well with the calculating ones, while in the twisting working condition the deformation of two sides of the box girder had much difference, which meant the relatively lower torsional stiffness. On the other hand, the measured damping ratio of the bridge, whose girder had long steel-concrete composite cantilevers, was larger than others, which meant a better anti-vibration performance. The results mentioned above verify the design theory and construction method, and also provide reference for the design of the same type bridge.
