Abstract A steel-concrete composite cable-stayed bridge features integrated steel girders and concrete decks linked by shear connectors to support loads, but stress concentration in wet joints can lead to cracking. In-situ tests were conducted on key sections of steel-concrete composite cable-stayed bridges to analyze the stress-strain evolution of wet joints under environmental factors, constraints, and complex construction processes. The coordinated working performance of the bridge decks was also analyzed. The results indicate that temperature is the key factor affecting the stresses and strains in wet joint concrete. Approximately 7 days after casting the wet joint concrete, the… More >
