The morphology of the box girder cracks was surveyed and mapped. The length, width, and depth of the cracks were inspected, and the strength and reinforcement configuration of the components were tested. The test results indicate that the strength and reinforcement configuration of the inspected components meet the design requirements. The crack at the end of the top plate of the box girder is a local compressive crack at the anchorage end. The width and length of the crack on the bottom surface of the top plate are not significant, and the depth is relatively shallow. Judging from the crack morphology, this crack is identified as a temperature crack. Additionally, based on the treatment measures for cracks of different widths, the treatment measures for the cracks of the components in this project are derived, providing a reference basis for similar projects in the future.展开更多

In the long-term load experiment, girder-1(G1) is in an elastic state, while girder-2(G2) is in a cracking state. To investigate the influence of cracking on the flexural behaviors of PC simply supported box beams, the experiment results are analyzed from many aspects, such as load–deflection, load–strain, and failure mode. Experiment results show the following: 1) the shrinkage and creep of concrete have considerable influences on the long-term deflection and strain of the two girders; 2) in the flexural failure experiment, the cracks and ultimate loads of the two girders are close. The rigidity degeneration of G2 is significantly faster than that of G1, and thus G2 shows nonlinear characteristics earlier; 3) to prove the validity and rationality of the current code, the cracking load and ultimate load of the two girders are calculated according to the current code.展开更多
