The invention discloses a variable-cross-section stacked box
rigid frame aqueduct, a
cantilever hanging basket and a prestress tensioning method in the field of
prestressed concrete aqueducts, the transverse section of a water passing groove is a U-shaped section, and the U-shaped section of the water passing groove is far superior to a rectangular section in the aspects of
water delivery flow conditions and flow passing capacity; a prestress continuous
rigid frame structure form of a U-shaped water passing upper tank with a variable cross-section rectangular lower tank stacked upwards and a guide groove unified cross section and a two-
system four-way prestress
system are arranged, the concrete stress of the upstream face of the U-shaped water passing groove can be accurately and effectively controlled to be kept in a uniform compression state with a certain numerical value, and the anti-seepage and durability functions of the
aqueduct are ensured. According to the tensioning method, the vertical steel beams and the U-shaped steel beams are partially tensioned firstly, so that the
aqueduct web has certain vertical
pressure stress, then longitudinal prestress is tensioned, the effect of the vertical steel beams and the U-shaped steel beams is prevented from being weakened by the longitudinal prestress, and
pressure stress reserve of the upstream face of the U-shaped groove is guaranteed; the pouring
hanging basket prevents the formwork from floating or shifting in the pouring process of the variable-thickness middle partition plate.
