Experimental Study on Magnesium Sulfate Cement Concrete Splices of Widened Box Girder
The connecting part of bridge widening undertakes complicated forces and tends to crack. Basic magnesium sulfate cement concrete has excellent properties such as ideal early strength and tensile strength, meeting the performance requirements of joint materials. Experiments of two spliced box girder specimens with C40 basic magnesium sulfate cement concrete (MC) and normal Portland cement concrete (NC) as joint materials are carried out. Concrete strain, reinforcement strain, deflection and crack propagation law of the joint section are tested and analyzed under symmetrical loading at the cantilever of the box girders. The study shows when MC material is used in the splicing section, the joint section showed a multi-cracks failure mode with an ultimate load ratio of 0.99 and a maximum crack width of 1.3 mm; NC joint section has only three longitudinal cracks with an ultimate load ratio of 0.97 and a maximum crack width of 0.98 mm. Under the same load, the crack width and the deflection of mid-span MC joint section are greater than which of NC joint section. The maximum deflection of NC splicing section is 1.20 mm, which is 1/633 of the calculating span length. The maximum deflection of MC spliced section is 2.03 mm, which is 1/374 of the calculating span length. Comparison of the maximum deflection and the maximum crack width shows that MC material has better ductility.
