Refined Finite Element Analysis of Crack Causes in SRC Arch Rib Bridges considering Multiple Factors

Figure 8

Stress distribution in bottom of the slab and web of the arch rib after 180 days’ shrinkage (unit: MPa). Normal stress distribution in Z-direction on (a) the inner surface of the bottom slab and (b) the outer surface of the bottom slab. Normal stress distribution in the Y-direction on (c) the inner surface of the web and (d) the outer surface of the web.
