公路桥梁长加载区间的多车道车辆荷载概念模型

Conceptual Traffic Load Model for Multi lane Highway Bridges with Long Loading Length

摘要:

高速公路多车道荷载及其响应的差异一直是桥梁设计与研究关注的重点，目前的多车道荷载模型对这种差异表述不合理，特别是长加载区间效应.选取2009~2013年实测的2车道和4车道28 d自由通行的WIM(Weigh in motion)数据，研究车辆的车道选择和荷载的空间分布特性，分析长加载区间的多车道荷载响应，提出了考虑多车道荷载模型的新思路，并校核了该概念模型的系数取值.研究表明，应选用至少3周以上数据进行车辆及荷载分析才具有统计意义，多车道中各分车道的车辆及荷载分布具有显著差异，我国规范基于车道荷载同分布的假定不成立.车道荷载分位值差别显著，而最大值却大致相同，说明多车道荷载模型无法兼顾不同加载区间的修正要求.长加载区间上分车道荷载响应之间的比值趋于稳定数量关系，表明各车道不仅不能达到相同水平极值，且不能同时达到.推荐的多车道概念模型能科学考虑长加载区间上分车道及总车道响应极值的关系，更具工程意义，校核的系数表明推荐模型合理可用.

Abstract:

Differences in vehicle load and its response on multi lane highway bridges were crucial to bridge design and related researches. These differences, especially the load effects with long loading length, were poorly illustrated by the current multi lane traffic load models. The 28 day free flow weigh in motion(WIM) data on a two lane highway and a four lane highway were offered. The data were obtained from the year 2009 to 2013. Based on the data, characteristics in the vehicle lane selection and spatial load distribution were studied. Multi lane load response with long loading length was analyzed. A new multi lane load model was proposed, based on which model coefficients values were calibrated. The results suggest that statistical stability of the vehicle and load analysis can only be ensured with a data length over 3 weeks. Vehicle and load distribution in each lane was of significant difference, indicating that the equal distribution assumption of vehicle lane load in current Chinese code was in need of modification. Variation of the vehicle load was substantial while the maximum load values were of not much difference, which suggests that the current multi lane load model can no longer satisfy the modification requirements raised by varied loading lengths. The load response ratios of different lanes with long loading length roughly remained as constants, indicating that extreme load responses in different lanes were different and would not appear simultaneously. The recommended conceptual multi lane load model provided a reasonable and scientific elaboration on the relationship of extreme load responses among different lanes and all lanes with long loading length. The model proved to be reasonable and of more engineering application value by the coefficient calibration.
