摘要：To prevent the cable sheaths of Er’qi Yangtze River Bridge from freezing under bad weather in winter, which may lead to ice fall and bring traffic safety accidents, a theoretical model and technical scheme of hot air ice melt system for Er’qi Yangtze River Bridge has been proposed. Based on the established heat transfer model for cable sheaths, the characteristics of heat transfer between internal hot air and outdoor environment have been analyzed. Under the condition when the temperature of the end of cable sheath’s outwall is more than 3°C, the range of temperature and speed of input hot air were estimated, which provides a theoretical basis for hot air melt system for cable-stayed bridge sheaths.
