Theory and Experiment on Horizontal Mechanical Behavior in Anchorage Zone of Composite Cablepylon

Abstract:

Based on a summary and an analysis of the configuration in composite cablepylons,the expression for calculating the horizontal force burdened by the main members of composite cablepylon was deduced according to the deformation compatibility principle;and the expression for calculating the inner force of the main members in composite cablepylon was deduced too.The full scale model tests were made to analyze the horizontal mechanical behavior of composite cablepylon according to an actual project and the stress distribution patterns of main members were obtained.Comparing to the tests results,the proposed accurate of the method was testified.
