Spatial Mechanical Behavior Research of Cable Anchorage Zone of Special-shaped Steel Box Concrete Tower

In order to grasp the force performance and stress distribution of shaped pylon steel anchor box under the action of the cable tension, with a main span of 555m length of three towers cable-stayed and self-anchored suspension combined system bridge as the engineering background, through the APDL command stream parametric programming, the different finite element models of pylon steel anchor box is established by the spatial solid element and shell element, the mechanical properties of cable-pylon anchorage zone were studied under the most unfavorable load combination, considering the stress state and distribution characteristics of steel anchor box under different orthodontic force. The results showed that: under the most unfavorable combination of loads, the stress was concentrated at the position of the anchor plate and pressure plate using the initial strain mode; the calculation results of solid element and shell element were consistent by uniform loading mode, which could reflect the real stress state of steel anchor box, but the shell element corner contact area prone to stress calculation distortion.
