Research on Design and Construction of Main Pylon of Maanshan Changjiang River Highway Bridge

The subject investigated of this article is Maanshan Changjiang River Highway Bridge, which is a prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge with three arched pylons. With the analysis of the details in design and construction of the main pylon of bridge, such as the set of the beams, the design of curve-shaped pylon and some significant parameters, it provide feasible experience in multi-pylon cable-stayed bridge. This article established the simplified finite element model with the software MIDAS/Civil and analyzed the load carrying capability and the deformation at the finished state of the bridge.
