Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, and more specifically to a method and system for accurately calculating tower offset in a multi-tower cable hoisting system based on single-tower linkage correction. Background Technology

[0002] Cable-stayed bridge systems are crucial equipment in the construction of long-span bridges. Under various complex conditions, the tower tops bear unbalanced horizontal forces, and accurate calculation of tower offset is a prerequisite for ensuring construction safety and control precision. With the continuous increase in bridge spans and lifting weights, the application of multi-tower cable-stayed bridge systems is becoming increasingly common. In such systems, the towers are coupled together through continuous tension cables, forming a series-connected constraint system. The stress and deformation of one tower are transmitted through the cable structure and significantly affect adjacent towers, resulting in a strong coupling effect between towers, making offset calculations exceptionally complex.

[0003] There are currently two main approaches to calculating tower misalignment in multi-tower cable-stayed hoisting systems: One type is a simplified calculation method based on the equivalent elastic modulus and series stiffness model. This type of method is simple to calculate and has clear physical concepts. Under the condition that the initial cable tension is large enough and the system is approximately linear, it can meet the accuracy requirements of the preliminary design and is suitable for rapid estimation and comparison of multiple schemes. However, cable structures will produce sag under their own weight, and their mechanical behavior exhibits a high degree of geometric nonlinearity. When the initial cable tension is small or the tower top deflection is large, the linear assumption of this type of method no longer holds strictly, and the calculation accuracy will decrease significantly, making it difficult to meet the accuracy requirements of the final design and construction control.

[0004] Another type is the precise calculation method based on catenary theory. This type of method can accurately describe the geometric nonlinear behavior of cable structures and precisely solve for cable forces by adhering to the principle of constant cable length under no stress, making it suitable for precise analysis under any working condition. However, in multi-tower systems, if the traditional full-tower correction iterative strategy is adopted, that is, simultaneously solving the unbalanced force equations of all towers and updating the displacement of all towers at once through linear superposition, the iterative process will oscillate or even diverge because it ignores the deep coupling between the displacements of each tower, making it difficult to achieve the convergence accuracy required by engineering.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a multi-tower offset calculation method that can accurately consider the geometric nonlinearity of the cable and ensure stable convergence of the iterative process, so as to solve the technical problems of limited accuracy of existing simplified methods under certain conditions and difficulty in convergence of accurate methods. Summary of the Invention

[0006] Therefore, to address the aforementioned shortcomings, this invention provides a method and system for calculating tower offset in multi-tower cable-stayed installation systems based on single-tower linkage correction. This method, based on the elastic catenary theory and the principle of constant cable length without stress, addresses the strong nonlinearity caused by the continuous coupling of cables between towers in a multi-tower system. It employs a single-tower linkage correction iterative strategy to solve the problems of insufficient accuracy in the traditional equivalent elastic modulus method under conditions of low initial cable tension and large tower top displacement, and the iterative divergence caused by neglecting geometric nonlinearity in the full-tower correction method. This achieves high-precision, stable, and convergent calculation of tower offset under arbitrary initial tension and load conditions, providing a reliable method for the final design and construction control of multi-tower cable-stayed installation systems.

[0007] This invention is implemented by providing a method for calculating tower offset in a multi-tower cable hoisting system based on single-tower linkage correction, comprising the following steps: Step S1: Input system parameters, including geometric parameters, material parameters, tower stiffness, external load and convergence tolerance. Based on the initial tension of the specified span, use the elastic catenary equation to iteratively calculate the stress-free cable length of each span to determine the initial equilibrium state of the system. Step S2: Initialize the offset of all towers to zero, and calculate the span of each span as the original span; Step S3: Execute the main iterative loop based on single-tower linkage correction, including the following sub-steps: Step S31: Based on the current span and stress-free cable length, solve for the horizontal force at the cable end using the elastic catenary equation, and calculate the horizontal elastic stiffness of each span using the finite difference method. Step S32: Calculate the unbalanced horizontal forces at the top of each tower; Step S33: Select the tower with the largest absolute value of unbalanced force as the active correction target for this iteration; Step S34: Calculate the total equivalent stiffness of the active correction tower, specifically including calculating the corresponding left series stiffness and right series stiffness, and adding the left series stiffness and right series stiffness to the tower's own equivalent stiffness to obtain the corresponding total equivalent stiffness. Step S35: Calculate the offset correction amount of the active correction tower; Step S36: Based on the offset correction amount of the active correction tower, adjust the offset of all other towers in the system in accordance with the compliance ratio. Step S37: Update the offset of all towers, and recalculate the effective horizontal span of each span accordingly, and recalculate the unbalanced horizontal force at the top of each tower based on the updated span. Step S38: Determine whether the maximum unbalanced horizontal force is less than the convergence tolerance. If so, terminate the iteration; otherwise, return to step S31. Step S4: Output the final offset of each tower, the horizontal force at each cable end, and the horizontal elastic stiffness.

[0008] Furthermore, the elastic catenary equation used in step S1 of the multi-tower cable hoisting system tower offset calculation method based on single-tower linkage correction is as follows: in, L For span, h For the elevation difference, H For horizontal force, V For vertical force, S 0 represents the length of the stress-free cable. E For elastic modulus, A For the cross-sectional area of ​​the cable, W For weight.

[0009] Furthermore, in step S32 of the multi-tower cable hoisting system tower offset calculation method based on single-tower linkage correction, the calculation formula for the unbalanced horizontal force at the tower top is as follows: in, H j , H j+1 For the tower j Horizontal forces on the left and right cables K T,j For the tower j Lateral stiffness δ j For the tower j of deviation, This refers to the unbalanced horizontal force caused by external forces at the top of the tower.

[0010] Furthermore, in step S33 of the multi-tower cable hoisting system tower deviation calculation method based on single-tower linkage correction, the tower with the largest absolute value of unbalanced force is selected as the active correction object for this iteration: .

[0011] Furthermore, the calculation method for the total equivalent stiffness in step S34 of the multi-tower cable hoisting system tower offset calculation method based on single-tower linkage correction is as follows: , ; in, To actively correct the tower numbering, m For the number of spans, K i For the first i Horizontal elastic stiffness of the span For the current iteration step tower Left-side series stiffness, Current iteration step tower Right-side series stiffness, The total equivalent stiffness.

[0012] Furthermore, in step S35 of the multi-tower cable hoisting system tower offset calculation method based on single-tower linkage correction, the offset correction amount of the actively correcting tower is: .

[0013] Furthermore, in step S36 of the multi-tower cable hoisting system tower offset calculation method based on single-tower linkage correction, the offset correction amount for the remaining towers is calculated according to the following rules: .

[0014] Furthermore, in step S37 of the multi-tower cable hoisting system tower offset calculation method based on single-tower linkage correction, the update method for the effective horizontal span of each span is as follows: .

[0015] This invention also provides a tower offset calculation system for a multi-tower cable hoisting system based on single-tower linkage correction, comprising: The parameter input module is used to input system geometric parameters, material parameters, tower stiffness, external loads, and convergence tolerances; The initial equilibrium module is used to iteratively calculate the initial stress-free cable length for each span based on the elastic catenary equation; The iterative calculation module is connected to the parameter input module and the initial equilibrium module respectively, and is used to execute the corresponding main iterative loop; according to the deviation correction amount of the active correction tower, the deviation of all other towers is corrected in conjunction with the compliance ratio. The output module, connected to the iterative calculation module, is used to output the final tower offset, cable end horizontal force, and horizontal elastic stiffness.

[0016] Furthermore, in the multi-tower cable hoisting system tower offset calculation system based on single-tower linkage correction, the flexibility ratio used in the iterative calculation module is the ratio of the sum of the flexibility ratios of the cable spans on each tower side.

[0017] The present invention has the following advantages: (1) Solving the calculation problem under low initial tension and large deviation conditions: The suspension element method is based on the elastic catenary theory and the principle of constant stress-free cable length. It can accurately consider the geometric nonlinear behavior of cable structure. It does not rely on the premise assumptions of "sufficient initial tension" and "sufficient tower deviation". It is applicable to the accurate analysis of tower deviation under arbitrary initial tension (including when the tension is small and the sag effect is obvious) and arbitrary load conditions. It overcomes the technical bottleneck of insufficient accuracy or even failure of the equivalent elastic mode method under strong nonlinear conditions.

[0018] (2) Achieve accurate calculation for final design and construction control: This method, through a rigorous iterative solution process, can accurately reflect the real change of cable force after tower misalignment. The accuracy of the final calculation result is much higher than that of the equivalent elastic modulus method that relies on linear approximation. It can provide accurate theoretical basis for determining the reasonable initial tension of the tower cable, assessing construction safety and optimizing hoisting parameters.

[0019] (3) Ensure robust convergence of the iteration process: The single-tower linkage correction iteration strategy is adopted. Each time, only the tower with the largest absolute value of the unbalanced force is actively corrected, while the other towers are adjusted in linkage according to the physical flexibility ratio. This not only preserves the numerical stability of the single-variable correction, but also strictly satisfies the deformation coordination condition, ensuring the monotonically decreasing residual (unbalanced force) and the robust convergence of the algorithm. It avoids the problem of iteration oscillation or divergence caused by the traditional full-tower correction method due to neglecting geometric nonlinearity and the superposition principle not being strictly valid.

[0020] (4) High versatility and easy integration with existing calculation systems: This method is applicable to multi-tower cable hoisting systems with any number of spans and towers, and the steps are clear and the logic is rigorous. It can be directly used for in-depth iterative calculations based on the preliminary design results of the equivalent elastic modulus method. Its calculation process is easy to program and can be integrated into construction control software or special calculation tools, which facilitates its promotion and use in actual projects.

[0037] (3) Ensure robust convergence of the iteration process: The "single tower linkage correction" iteration strategy is adopted. Each time, only the tower with the largest absolute value of the unbalanced force is actively corrected, while the other towers are adjusted in linkage according to the physical flexibility ratio. This not only preserves the numerical stability of the single variable correction, but also strictly satisfies the deformation coordination condition, ensuring the monotonically decreasing residual (unbalanced force) and the robust convergence of the algorithm. This avoids the problem of iteration oscillation or divergence caused by the traditional full tower correction method due to neglecting geometric nonlinearity and the superposition principle not being strictly valid.

The output module, connected to the iterative calculation module, is used to output the final tower offset, cable end horizontal force, and horizontal elastic stiffness.

[0040] The flexibility ratio used in the iterative calculation module is the ratio of the sum of the flexibility ratios of the side cable spans where each tower is located.

Comparison and Verification with Existing Methods To verify the superiority of this invention, calculations were performed under the same operating conditions using both the equivalent elastic modulus method and the traditional full-tower correction method: Equivalent elastic modulus method: Due to the small initial tension and large tower deflection, the linear assumption fails, resulting in a large error compared with the calculation results of this invention.
