Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge construction technology, and in particular to a method for the dislocation, assembly, overall transportation, and overall lifting of arch ribs. Background Technology

[0002] For small- to medium-span arch bridges, the arch ribs are typically constructed using three methods: the scaffolding method, the integral launching method, and the floating crane integral lifting method. The scaffolding method significantly impacts navigation, the launching method requires sufficient space on the approach bridge side and the temporary piers also affect navigation, and the floating crane integral lifting method requires large floating crane equipment, which is costly. When navigation conditions must be guaranteed at the bridge site, the space on the approach bridge side is limited, and there is a lack of large lifting equipment or the lifting equipment is expensive, how to achieve the smooth installation of the arch ribs is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for the off-site assembly, overall transportation, and overall lifting of arch ribs, solving the technical problems of existing arch rib construction methods such as the support method, the overall jacking method, and the floating crane overall lifting method. The support method has a significant impact on navigation, the jacking method requires sufficient space on the approach bridge side and the temporary piers also have a certain impact on navigation, and the floating crane overall lifting method requires the use of large floating crane equipment, which has high equipment costs.

[0004] This invention enables the installation of arch ribs across rivers and streams while reducing construction risks and costs, and shortening the construction period. The prerequisite for its application is the availability of assembly sites on nearby banks.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0006] A method for the displaced assembly, overall transportation, and overall lifting of arch ribs, the method comprising the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Erecting the scaffolding and installing the sliding rails;

[0008] Step 2: Assemble the arch ribs until closure, and tension the temporary tie rods;

[0009] Step 3: The arch ribs are slid onto the ship as a whole;

[0010] Step 4: The arch ribs are floated and positioned as a whole;

[0011] Step 5: Lift the arch ribs as a whole;

[0012] Step 6: Arch foot welding, system conversion.

[0013] Further, in step 1, select a suitable site for assembling the arch rib at the bridge site, set up counterforce piers at the arch foot of the assembly site, set up two rows of walking wheel support frames as positioning supports for the first segment, and set up vertical support frames. The track is set at the bottom of the walking wheel support frame and extends towards the river bank. The track is perpendicular to the main axis of the arch rib and is connected to the track of the transport ship to realize the overall sliding of the arch rib onto the ship.

[0014] Further, in step 1, set up a retaining wall at the position of the river bank track to ensure the stability of the track position and provide a pulling force for the transport ship when the arch rib is being slid onto the ship.

[0015] Further, in step 2, after the arch rib is assembled on the support frame, install temporary tie rods with one end anchored to the lower chord of the first segment. Gradually apply tension to the tie rods according to the calculated thrust to transfer the horizontal thrust of the arch rib from the counterforce piers to the temporary tie rods, achieving self-balancing of the horizontal force of the arch rib.

[0016] Further, in step 3, the two transport ships are docked in place and adjusted until the transport ship track is accurately connected to the assembly site track in terms of elevation and plan position. After docking, set up force transmission rods between the transport ship and the retaining wall to prevent the transport ship from moving towards the shore when the arch rib is being loaded onto the ship.

[0017] The arch rib is slid onto the transport ship using a through-type jack combined with steel wire. During the sliding process, the arch rib on both sides needs to be kept in synchronization and cannot be twisted.

[0018] Further, in step 4, after the arch rib is slid onto the ship, take measures such as welding or bolting to fix the positioning supports to prevent the arch rib from moving during transportation. During the floating transportation of the arch rib, the synchronization and stability of the two transport ships need to be precisely controlled to cope with natural factors such as water flow and wind.

[0019] Further, in step 5, install lifting frames on the top of the main piers on both banks. After the arch rib is transported into position, take contact fixation measures and use several lifting devices to gradually lift the main arch to the predetermined height and accurately connect it to the pre-buried segment of the arch foot installed at the pier. During the overall lifting stage, the coordination of the lifting devices needs to be controlled to ensure synchronized operation of multiple lifting devices.

[0020] Further, in step 6, after the arch rib arch foot is welded and fixed to the pre-buried segment, the temporary tie rods are removed, and the installation of the arch rib is completed.

[0021] The construction method comprises the following steps: using the vacant land near the bridge site as an assembling site of the arch rib, erecting a support to assemble the arch rib, sliding the arch rib to two transport ships through a pre-laid track by a pulling method after the arch rib is assembled and closed, and then integrally floating the arch rib to the bridge site through the water, and integrally lifting the arch rib to the design position through a lifting frame erected at the bridge pier.

[0022] The present application has the following beneficial effects due to the adoption of the above technical scheme:

[0023] (1) The main arch is assembled at a land site, the vacant land near the bridge site is used as the assembling site, the influence on the existing navigation vessels is greatly reduced, and the assembling precision and safety of the arch rib are improved.

[0024] (2) The double-ship integral floating mode is adopted, the large transport ship required by the single-ship transportation is avoided, the specification of the transport ship is reduced, the equipment cost is saved, the transverse span of the double-ship transportation is large, the anti-overturning stability during the integral transportation of the arch rib is improved, the transport ship is perpendicular to the main shaft of the arch rib, the arch rib can be smoothly put into the bridge hole and positioned without interference with the main pier, the pulling method is used for sliding onto the ship, large floating cranes are not needed for hoisting, the equipment cost is reduced, and the hoisting stability is improved.

[0025] (3) The lifting frame is erected at the main pier position, four hoisting points are arranged on each bank, the arch rib is integrally lifted to the design position, the arch rib is conveniently positioned and adjusted, high-precision installation is realized, and the equipment cost caused by the use of large floating cranes is avoided.
