Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge construction design, specifically to a double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier suitable for high-intensity seismic zones and its design method. Background Technology
[0002] For long-span continuous rigid frame bridges, double-limb reinforced concrete thin-walled piers are commonly used, exhibiting high flexural stiffness in the longitudinal direction. When subjected to vertical loads from the superstructure, these piers effectively resist bending moments, ensuring pier stability. Simultaneously, they also possess good torsional resistance in the transverse direction. Due to the spacing between the two limbs, they can work together to resist torque, reducing torsional deformation. For continuous rigid frame bridges with pier heights exceeding 50m, the double-limb thin-walled pier structure is relatively sensitive to temperature changes and concrete shrinkage and creep. However, because the lateral stiffness of the double-limb thin-walled pier is much lower than that of a box pier, it can, to some extent, reduce the additional internal forces generated by temperature and shrinkage / creep through deformation coordination between the two limbs. In statically indeterminate structures like continuous rigid frame bridges, reducing these additional internal forces is crucial for the long-term performance and safety of the structure.
[0003] However, in high-intensity earthquake zones, due to the relatively low stiffness of double-limb thin-walled piers, they may experience significant displacement during high-intensity earthquakes. This significant displacement may lead to damage at the connection between the bridge beam and the pier. Simultaneously, large displacements can also damage ancillary facilities such as expansion joints, affecting the normal use of the bridge. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention aims to provide a double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier and its design method suitable for high-intensity seismic zones. By combining the bending resistance of the steel in the frame with the shear resistance of the longitudinal steel plates, the double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier possesses excellent bending and torsional resistance, ensuring the stability of the pier. Simultaneously, the high toughness of the steel enables the double-limb steel thin-walled pier to exhibit good seismic performance under earthquake loading.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution: A double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier suitable for high-intensity seismic zones, comprising: Pier body; A composite frame, wherein the composite frame is disposed inside the single-limb pier of the pier body; The composite frame includes structural steel and longitudinal steel plates. Structural steel is provided on both sides of the single-limb pier along its own width direction. The structural steel is fixedly connected to the main reinforcement inside the single-limb pier. The longitudinal steel plate is welded to two of the steel sections on both sides, and the longitudinal steel plate is parallel to the width direction of the single-limb pier. The length of both the structural steel and the longitudinal steel plate is along the height direction of the single-limb pier.
[0006] Compared to existing technologies, which may lead to significant displacement during high-intensity earthquakes due to the relatively low stiffness of double-limb thin-walled piers, this invention provides a double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier suitable for high-intensity earthquake zones. Each limb of the pier incorporates a composite frame comprising two steel sections and a longitudinal steel plate. The two steel sections are positioned on opposite sides to enhance the pier's bending resistance, while the longitudinal steel plate connects them to improve torsional resistance. This combination results in excellent bending and torsional resistance, ensuring the pier's stability. Furthermore, the high toughness of steel contributes to the pier's superior seismic performance. During an earthquake, the double-limb steel thin-walled pier absorbs some seismic energy through deformation, reducing structural damage. The coordinated action between the two limbs also helps disperse seismic forces, effectively controlling the pier's seismic response. Compared to concrete piers, steel thin-walled piers exhibit increased load-bearing capacity, better ductility, and are less prone to brittle failure during earthquakes. In addition, the steel content within the pier body needs to be controlled between 5% and 10%, and several adjacent stiffening ribs with a spacing of ≤1500mm should be installed to address the local buckling problem of thin-walled steel. Furthermore, a "steel-concrete composite transition section" is set at the connection between the crossbeam and the double limbs, with the steel in the crossbeam extending to a range three times the height of the steel in the pier body. 5% steel fiber is added to the concrete in the joint area, increasing the shear strength by 30%.
[0007] Furthermore, the combined frame is symmetrically arranged along the centerline of the width direction of the single limb pier.
[0008] In a further optimization, the steel section is made of I-beams, and the two sides of the longitudinal steel plate are welded to the webs of the two I-beams respectively.
[0009] Further optimization involves vertically welding several studs to both the flanges and web of the steel section, with the shank ends of the studs welded to the steel section. Specifically, the stud diameter is ≥16mm, the length is not less than 4 times the stud diameter, the spacing between adjacent studs is not greater than 300mm and 7.5 times the stud diameter, and the distance from the stud to the edge of the longitudinal steel plate is not less than 50mm, resulting in an increase of over 40% in the interface shear capacity.
[0010] Furthermore, the composite frame is further optimized by including several stiffening ribs. The spacing between adjacent stiffening ribs is ≤1500mm. Additionally, both the upper and lower ends of the composite frame extend into the top and bottom bearing platforms, respectively, with a embedment depth ≥3H.
[0011] Further optimization includes a connecting sleeve, which is welded to and fitted onto the main reinforcement bars, and the end of the connecting sleeve is welded to the steel section. The connecting sleeve enables effective connection; the main reinforcement bars of the pier are welded in the factory via the connecting sleeve, and the weld between the sleeve and the steel section inside the thin-walled pier is connected to the reinforcing bars in the connected beam with equal strength.
[0012] Further solutions: This invention also provides a design method for double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled piers suitable for high-intensity seismic zones, comprising the following steps: The superposition method was used to calculate the bearing capacity of the composite section in the double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier, and to determine whether the bearing capacity calculation results met the bearing capacity requirements. The bearing capacity calculation included verification of the normal section compression-bending member and verification of the shear resistance of the inclined section. At the same time, the overall stability calculation of the double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier was carried out.
[0013] To further optimize the process, the superposition method is used to perform positive section compression-bending member verification on the composite section within the double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier. The specific steps to determine whether the calculated bearing capacity meets the bearing capacity requirements include: First, the double-limb steel-concrete thin-walled pier is treated as an eccentrically compressed member, with the relative height of the boundary compression zone as the reference.

[0014] To further optimize, when performing shear resistance verification of inclined sections, the shear capacity of the inclined section should conform to the following formula: ; ; ; ; in, -Standard value of shear force of double-limb thin-walled pier caused by structural dead load; -Standard value of shear force of double-limb thin-walled pier caused by seismic action; - Considering the beneficial effect of axial pressure on shear resistance, the standard value of shear bearing capacity of concrete and stirrups working together in the inclined section of the double-limb thin-walled pier; -The standard value of shear force borne by all the steel sections configured at one end of the double-limb thin-walled pier; - The standard value of shear force borne by all steel plates in the double-limb thin-walled pier configuration; -The standard value of the shear force borne by the double-limb thin-walled pier is taken as... ; , - Width and height of thin-walled pier section; - Standard value of tensile strength of structural steel; -The cross-sectional area of the steel section at one end of the double-limb thin-walled pier can be taken as the smaller value of the cross-sectional areas of the steel sections at both ends; -Calculate the shear span ratio of the interface. ,Pick ; - The reinforcement ratio of longitudinal tensile reinforcement and steel plate within the inclined section. ,Pick ; - Cross-sectional area of the tension steel section of the double-limb thin-walled pier; - Cross-sectional area of tensile reinforcement in double-limb thin-walled piers; - Standard value of compressive strength of a concrete cube with a side length of 150mm; - Reinforcement ratio of stirrups in the inclined section of a double-limb thin-walled pier; -Standard value of tensile strength of stirrups in inclined section of double-limb thin-walled pier.

The two steel sections 201 are positioned on opposite sides to improve the pier's bending resistance, while the longitudinal steel plate 202 connects them to enhance torsional resistance. This results in a double-limb steel thin-walled pier with excellent bending and torsional resistance, ensuring pier stability. Furthermore, the high toughness of the steel contributes to the pier's superior seismic performance. During an earthquake, the double-limb steel thin-walled pier absorbs some seismic energy through its own deformation, reducing structural damage.
