UHPC加固箱梁顶板受弯性能试验研究

提出密配筋UHPC(超高性能混凝土)加固钢筋混凝土箱梁顶板方法,以消除混凝土箱梁顶板因开裂导致结构承载能力和耐久性普遍降低两类病害.为探究该加固方法在集中荷载下的箱梁顶板横向受弯性能,对3块足尺箱梁顶板局部模型进行试验研究.试验结果表明:负弯矩作用下,受拉的UHPC层显著提高了加固板的抗裂性能和刚度;加固试验板的开裂强度取决于UHPC的弹性抗拉性能;裂缝宽度为0.2mm时的持荷水平相对于未加固试验板提高了255.8%;当裂缝宽度小于0.27mm时,荷载与最大裂缝宽度关系近似线性.正弯矩作用下,UHPC层受压,加固试验板的开裂强度取决于封闭裂缝所用黏胶的抗拉强度;因为普通混凝土区域裂缝出现较早,正弯矩加固板在前期表现出略微偏大的挠度,但后期挠度和裂缝宽度的增长速度均明显小于未加固板,致密的UHPC层为箱梁顶板提供良好的防水性能,加固层对正弯矩试验板刚度的提高和裂缝发展的控制效果较为明显;破坏形态符合预期,破坏荷载与理论计算结果吻合良好.

Experimental Study on Flexural Behavior of Top Deck of Box Girder Strengthened with Ultra High Performance Concrete

A method for retrofitting the top slab of the reinforced concrete box girder with high-reinforcement-ratio UHPC is proposed in order to mitigate the loss of the capacity and durability of the bridge due to the cracking of the top slab. Test on the local models of three top slabs of the box girder is then conducted to investigate the effect of this retrofit method on the lateral flexural behavior of the top slabs under the concentrated loads. The test results show that the UHPC layer subjected to tensile stress induced by negative bending moment improves the cracking resistance and stiffness of the retrofitted slab significantly; The cracking resistance of the retrofitted slab is dependent on the elastic tensile strength of the UHPC; Compared with the unretrofitted slab, the load resistance of the retrofitted slab with the crack width of 0.2 mm increases by 255.8%; When the crack width is less than 0.27 mm, a linear relationship between the load and the maximum crack width is found. On the other hand, when the UHPC layer is subjected to compressive stress induced by positive bending moment, the cracking resistance of the slab is determined by tensile strength of the glue used for sealing cracks. Due to premature cracks in the unretrofitted part of the slab, the retrofitted slab subjected to positive bending moment exhibits a little larger deflection, but the growth rates of both the deflection and crack width of the retrofitted slab during the later period are clearly less than those of the unretrofitted slab. In addition, the top slab is well waterproofed by the compact UHPC layer. The retrofitting layer can effectively enhance the stiffness of the tested slab subjected to positive bending moment and control the crack growth. Failure patterns basically meet the expectations, and the theoretical calculation agrees well with the failure loads.
