The invention discloses a
continuous beam bridge and a method for determining an inhaul cable sectional area and
elastomer rigidity thereof, and belongs to the field of
civil engineering. Symmetricalthrough hole sets are formed in
pier cap beams of the
continuous beam bridge, each through hole set comprises two through holes, and casing pipes are installed in the through holes; a cable connectingdevice comprises inhaul cables which penetrate through the casing pipes on the adjacent
pier cap beams respectively, and the inhaul cables are parallel to a continuous main beam; the
pier top centersof fixed piers serves as original points, first pressing blocks and first anchorage devices are arranged at the ends, close to the original points, of the inhaul cables, and second pressing blocks, elastomers and second anchorage devices are sequentially arranged at the ends, away from the original points, of the inhaul cables, and the first pressing blocks and the second pressing blocks are closer to the centers of the inhaul cables than the first anchorage devices and the second anchorage devices respectively. According to the
continuous beam bridge, under the earthquake excitation effect in the axial direction of the bridge, non-fixed piers cooperate with the fixed piers to share earthquake loads together, the destruction risk of the fixed piers of the continuous
beam bridge is reduced, meanwhile, the
bending moment distribution of the piers is basically uniform, and the anti-seismic properties of the piers are brought into play, therefore the anti-seismic properties of the continuous
beam bridge are improved.
