Research on Detection and Reinforcement of Juye Bridge Based on the Finite Element Method

Based on the investigation and detection of Juye Bridge, the major diseases of Juye bridge was identified. After that, a comprehensive analysis of the diseases was done .By the results of the analysis, attention was focused on the bridge reinforcement, and then the bridge of reinforced was calculated based on finite element method. By the comparative results from finite element analysis and actual tests, the strengthening technical level and corresponding norms were evaluated. The results show that the use of the finite element technology to detect and reinforce the bridge is effective and feasible, and finite element can be an effective tool of bridge reinforcement technology.
