This invention relates to an integrated demolition and construction method for rebuilding a suspension bridge on the same site after demolishing an old
rigid frame bridge. The method involves first demolishing the old bridge, then constructing the anchorages, main towers, and side spans of the new suspension bridge, installing the main cables and cable-mounted cranes, and using the cable-mounted cranes to dismantle the closure section of the middle span, the side spans, and the
cantilever of the main beam of the middle span of the old bridge, and hoisting the
steel box girder of the new suspension bridge. Simultaneously, crawler cranes are used to sequentially dismantle the closure section of the side spans, the cast-in-place section of the side spans, and the side piers of the old bridge. This invention allows for overlapping and simultaneous demolition and construction, which helps shorten the construction period. Utilizing the old
bridge deck as a traction platform for the
pilot cable of the new suspension bridge across the river does not affect navigation and saves costs. Using the cable-mounted cranes from the new suspension bridge construction for demolition ensures high construction efficiency and safety.
