路桥过渡段容许台阶高度的确定

为确定路桥过渡段的容许台阶高度,对车辆通过路桥过渡段时的整车舒适度和车桥安全性进行了研究.以平均加权加速度均方根值作为整车舒适度指标,以车轮动力荷载最小值作为车辆安全性指标,以局部冲击系数作为桥梁安全性指标,提出了一种基于整车舒适度和车桥安全性的容许台阶高度确定方法.分析了车速和台阶高度等因素对整车舒适度和局部冲击系数的影响.结果表明:对高速公路和一级公路,整车舒适度对容许台阶高度的要求更为严格,其次是车辆安全性.对二级公路,容许台阶高度各控制指标的严格程度由高到低依次为:整车舒适度、桥梁安全性和车辆安全性.对二级以下公路,其严格程度由高到低依次为:桥梁安全性、整车舒适度和车辆安全性.该方法从车辆舒适度、车辆安全性及桥梁安全性对台阶高度提出了更合理的控制标准.

Determination of Allowable Differential Settlement between the Bridge and the Approach Embankment

In order to determine the allowable differential settlement between the bridge and the approach embankment, the vehicle comfort and safety of both the vehicle and the bridge were studied when the vehicle traveled through the transient section. A method based on comfort and safety was then proposed to determine the allowable differential settlement. The average weighted root-mean-square acceleration was used as the vehicle comfort evaluation index, the minimum dynamic wheel load was used as the vehicle safety evaluation index, and the local impact factor was used as the bridge safety evaluation index. The effect of vehicle running speed and differential settlement on the vehicle comfort level and local impact factor was analyzed. The results show that for expressways and first-class highways, the vehicle comfort is a more demanding requirement compared with vehicle safety. For secondary highways, the vehicle comfort is the most demanding requirement among the control indices for differential settlements, followed by bridge safety and vehicle safety. For highways below second-class, the bridge safety is the most demanding requirement, followed by vehicle comfort and vehicle safety. More rational control criteria for differential settlements based on vehicle comfort, vehicle safety and bridge safety can be proposed on the basis of the analysis method of this study.
