Discussion on Force Analysis of Eccentric Piers of Continuous Beam Bridges Based on MIDAS Civil
In the design of bridges,eccentric piers have a greater impact on the overall design.A proper pier form can not only make the overall structural stress more reasonable but also coordinate the modeling of the superstructure and substructure and make it lightweight and beautiful.The Pier No.9 on the Left Turn Ramp of Weiyu Road adopts the eccentric pier design.This paper uses the finite element software MIDAS Civil to establish a model of Pier No.9 to discuss its reasonable design.The calculation results show that using the asymmetric suspension pier form on both sides of the cover beam can further increase the safety factor of the structure,which can provide a reference for the design of similar eccentric piers in the future.
