Research on Intelligent Evaluation System of Load-bearing Capacity of Existing Reinforced Concrete Bridge

Abstract

The intelligent evaluation system of existing reinforced concrete bridge “BLP” is a special software for the load-bearing capacity rapid analysis and evaluation of the existing reinforced concrete bridge, which was developed by the Highway Research Institute of the Ministry of Transport. Based on the parametric modelling method, it can quickly and easily establish the finite element plane model of the bridge structure for the static analysis of ultimate bearing capacity limit states and serviceability limit state, under variety norms. And it can easily and quickly build variable-section beams and rebars, with the special module. According to the comprehensive modification method of the load-bearing capacity evaluation, it can automatically recommend checking sections, and automatically calculate partial modification coefficient of resistance effect, and conveniently judge the safety coefficient of the sections, and quickly get the results of bridge load-bearing capacity. In summary, this system can significantly improve the work efficiency and accuracy of load-bearing capacity for exiting reinforced concrete bridge. This paper introduces in detail the characteristics of the intelligent analysis technology, calculation principle and real bridge application examples of the system.
