[0036] Example:

[0037] This embodiment provides a method for unloading a prestressed structure that is suitable for partial demolition, including the following steps:

[0038] In partial demolition, partial preservation, and partial new construction projects, the reasonable layout of the steel support system is determined through structural simulation calculations, and a temporary support force system is constructed using steel pipe columns, steel beams, and hydraulic jacks.

[0054] Specifically:

[0055] (I) Construction of Support System

[0056] Material selection and preparation

[0057] The steel pipe column is made of Q345B material, with a diameter of 400mm and a wall thickness of 12mm. According to the design requirements, four 20mm thick stiffening ribs are processed at the end of the steel pipe column, and a 700x700x40mm steel pad is prepared at the bottom of the column base. At the same time, C45 grouting material is prepared.

[0058] The steel beams are made of Q345B material and have specifications of HN700x300x13x24. Four M20 high-strength bolts are prepared for the connection between the steel pipe column and the steel beam, and six M24 chemical anchors are prepared for the connection between the steel beam and the concrete structure.

[0059] Select appropriate hydraulic jacks and equip them with reinforced steel brackets, and prepare monitoring instruments such as dial gauges.

[0060] Structural simulation calculation

[0061] By using professional structural simulation software, relevant parameters for partial demolition, partial preservation, and partial new construction are input, including structural dimensions, material properties, and load conditions, to accurately calculate the reasonable layout of the steel support system. This ensures that the support system can withstand various loads during construction and guarantees construction safety.

[0062] Support system installation

[0063] According to the points determined by structural simulation calculations, install the backfill steel beams and backfill steel pipe columns in the area to be demolished; during the installation process, ensure that the verticality and horizontality of the steel beams and steel pipe columns meet the requirements;

[0064] Four M20 high-strength bolts are used to connect the steel pipe column and the steel beam to ensure a firm connection; six M24 chemical anchors are used to connect the steel beam to the concrete structure. The installation of the chemical anchors must be carried out in strict accordance with the operating procedures to ensure the anchoring quality.

[0065] Pour grout at the column base to fill the gap between the steel plate and the foundation, ensuring a reliable connection between the bottom of the steel pipe column and the foundation; install hydraulic jacks at the top of the column and set fixed constraints to prevent the jacks from slipping; apply prestress in advance to allow the support system to initially bear the force.

[0066] Install a deformation monitoring dial gauge at the bottom of the retained beam, ensuring that the dial gauge is securely installed and the measurement is accurate.

[0067] (II) Load Test

[0068] A load test is conducted on the installed steel pipe column and steel beam load-bearing system. The load is gradually increased according to a certain proportion of the design load. During the load period, the deformation of the bottom of the beam is closely observed using a dial gauge, and the steel supports are checked for obvious deformation. If any abnormality is found, the loading is stopped immediately, the cause is analyzed, and corresponding measures are taken to deal with it. The system can only be put into use after it is ensured that there are no abnormalities in the load-bearing system.

[0069] (III) Prestressing Unloading and Structural Demolition

[0070] Prestressed staged unloading

[0071] A graded symmetrical unloading method was adopted, dividing the prestress into 5 levels, with 20% unloaded at each level. During the unloading process, professional monitoring equipment was used to monitor the structural deformation and stress of the support system in real time to ensure a smooth and safe unloading process.

[0072] Structural demolition

[0073] As the prestress is gradually unloaded, the structure is dismantled. During the dismantling process, operators must strictly follow the construction plan to avoid disturbing the remaining structure and support system. Appropriate dismantling tools and equipment should be used to ensure the smooth progress of the dismantling work. At the same time, the stress on the steel supports and the deformation of the structure should be continuously monitored, and construction parameters should be adjusted in a timely manner based on the monitoring data.

[0074] (iv) New reinforcement and load-bearing system transformation

[0075] New construction and reinforcement

[0076] After the demolition of the original structure is completed, the construction and reinforcement of the permanent structure shall be carried out in accordance with the design requirements. During the construction process, the construction quality shall be strictly controlled to ensure that the new and reinforced structure meets the strength and stability requirements.

[0077] The force system is transformed again.

[0078] After the construction of the new and reinforced permanent structure is completed and the strength meets the standards, the hydraulic jack device will gradually unload the load. During the unloading process, the deformation of the bottom of the beam will be continuously monitored by a dial gauge to ensure that the new structure can stably bear the load. Finally, the temporary steel support system will be removed to realize the transformation of the stress system from the steel support system to the permanent structure.

[0079] It should be understood that although this specification describes the specific embodiments described above, it is not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of this invention by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims. For example, in actual construction, the specifications and materials of steel pipe columns and steel beams can be appropriately adjusted according to different engineering structures and construction requirements; the model and parameters of hydraulic jacks can be selected and optimized; and the grading of prestressed unloading and the unloading amount at each level can be reasonably set. As long as these do not deviate from the core technology and inventive concept of this invention, they all fall within the protection scope of this invention.
