Anotace: To explore the stress of the tower-beam-pier joint zone of a cable-stayed bridge under different systems, the submodel method in the finite element software ABAQUS was used to establish the local model of the tower-beam-pier joint zone of the bridge. At the same time, Midas/Civil was used to establish the rod system finite element model of the whole bridge. The correctness of the local model was verified by comparing the results of the finite element model and the local model. Then, by changing the combination mode of tower beam pier, the stress comparison analysis of the joint zone of the tower-beam-pier under different systems was carried out. The results showed the stress distribution of the semi-floating system was more reasonable than that of the rigid frame system and the consolidation system. In the use of the three different systems, there was concentrated tensile stress at the chamfer of the web and the bottom plate, where the steel bars should be added. In the rigid frame system, the deflection of the main beam under the load was the smallest, and the maximum displacement occurred at the boundary section, with the value of only 2.668mm.
