Safety Verification and Analysis of Hollow Thin-Walled Bridge Pier Considering Construction Deviation
Hollow thin-walled piers are frequently selected for spanning deep valleys and canyons due to their excellent structur-al stiffness,lightweight,and large sectional moment of inertia.However,during the segmented construction process,hollow thin-walled piers are susceptible to construction deviations.Taking an actual engineering project as an example and incorpora-ting the construction deviations measured on site,a finite element model that accounts for these deviations was developed.The internal forces of the structure under various load combinations were calculated.Subsequently,the bearing capacities,as well as the structural crack resistance and torsional resistance of the bridge piers under the most unfavorable internal forces,were eval-uated.The verification results indicate that the compressive bearing capacity,torsional bearing capacity,and structural crack resistance of bridge piers with construction deviations in the actual project meet the requirements of current specifications.
