The invention provides a bridge arch rib mounting method, which adopts the technical scheme of low-position horizontal splicing along a navigation channel, cooperative horizontal rotation and vertical rotation of an integrated rotating
tower and synchronous construction of a beam and an arch, and comprises the following steps: dividing an arch rib into two arch sections, and completing horizontal splicing at the low position along the navigation channel through the rotating
tower with a first rotating device and a second rotating device; 90-degree horizontal rotation and vertical rotation of a single arch section are achieved respectively, during horizontal rotation, the rotating
tower only provides horizontal rotation power, does not bear the
dead weight of the arch section and does not need to be provided with a balance weight, and a second rotating device arranged at the top of the rotating tower is connected with the arch section through a horizontal rotation lifting cable and a vertical rotation cable, bears all the
dead weight of the arch section and rotates cooperatively with the first rotating device during horizontal rotation; during vertical rotation, stability is guaranteed by means of a balance cable, an arch foot lower horizontal rotation hinge balance weight does not need to be additionally arranged, adverse effects on a permanent structure are avoided, and construction period
delay and cost increase caused by design change are completely eradicated; the integration of
horizontal and vertical rotating functions is realized through the integrated rotating tower, so that the construction cost investment is greatly reduced; the support is erected along the navigation channel, the hoisting requirement is lowered, material input is reduced, and navigation channel interference is reduced; synchronous
assembly of the arch rib and the main beam is achieved, and the construction period is remarkably shortened.
