Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically to a split-type steel box girder vortex vibration suppression structure. Background Technology

[0002] Split-type steel box girders are lightweight, rigid, and have good flutter resistance, making them increasingly widely used in ultra-long span bridges. However, slotting between the main girder sections can easily lead to vortex-induced vibration in split-type steel box girders.

[0003] Currently, there are three types of measures to suppress bridge vibration: structural measures, mechanical measures, and aerodynamic measures. Among these, aerodynamic measures are more economical and effective. Commonly used aerodynamic measures include changing the shape of the air nozzles and installing vortex deflectors, guide vanes, and stabilizing plates. Studies have found that individual aerodynamic measures are not very effective, while combined aerodynamic measures often have better vibration suppression effects.

[0004] In summary, there is an urgent need for a split-type steel box girder vortex vibration suppression structure to solve the problems existing in the current technology. Utility Model Content

[0027] To facilitate understanding of this invention, a more comprehensive description is provided below, along with preferred embodiments. However, this invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to provide a more thorough and complete understanding of the disclosure of this invention.

[0028] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention.

[0029] Example:

[0030] See Figures 1-6A split-type steel box girder vortex vibration suppression structure is disclosed, wherein two adjacent steel box girders are arranged in parallel and connected by multiple transverse connecting beams 3 spaced along the longitudinal direction; a wind nozzle 8 is provided on the side of the steel box girder away from the other steel box girder; on the side of the steel box girder close to the other steel box girder, a vortex-blocking plate 4 and a wind-resistant stabilizing component 5 are provided between two adjacent transverse connecting beams 3; the vortex-blocking plate 4 is connected to the top plate of the steel box girder, and the wind-resistant stabilizing component 5 is connected to the transverse connecting beams 3 at both ends.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the two steel box girders in this embodiment are steel box girder 1 and steel box girder 2. Steel box girder 1 and steel box girder 2 are connected by a plurality of transverse connecting beams 3 arranged longitudinally at intervals. Wind nozzles 8 are provided on the side of steel box girder 1 away from steel box girder 2 and on the side of steel box girder 2 away from steel box girder 1. On the side of steel box girder 1 close to steel box girder 2 and on the side of steel box girder 2 close to steel box girder 1, vortex-blocking plates 4 and wind-resistant stabilizers 5 are provided between two adjacent transverse connecting beams 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, the connection between two adjacent steel box girders is achieved through the transverse connecting beam 3, ensuring the structural stability of the split bridge; wind nozzles 8 are installed on the outer side of both steel box girders, and vortex-blocking plates 4 and wind-resistant stabilizing components 5 are installed on the inner side of both steel box girders. The combination of these two aerodynamic measures can effectively suppress the flutter and vortex-induced vibration of the bridge, thereby improving the wind resistance of the bridge.

[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the vortex-blocking plate 4 has a transverse slope to facilitate drainage. The elevation of the fixed end of the vortex-blocking plate 4 connected to the steel box girder is higher than the elevation of its cantilever end. Furthermore, a longitudinal gap δ is left between the vortex-blocking plate 4 and the transverse connecting beams 3 at both ends to solve the problem that the top plate of the vortex-blocking plate and the transverse connecting beam 3 cannot be on the same plane after the transverse slope is set. In this embodiment, the width of the gap δ is preferably 10-20mm.

[0034] Furthermore, the width L1 of the vortex baffle 4 in the transverse direction needs to be determined by wind tunnel testing. The vortex baffle 4 can be made of steel plate with a thickness of 8 to 12 mm according to the width L1.

[0035] like Figures 4-6 As shown, the bottom of the vortex-blocking plate 4 is provided with longitudinal stiffening ribs 6 and transverse stiffening ribs 7. Multiple longitudinal stiffening ribs 6 and multiple transverse stiffening ribs 7 form a grid structure. The fixed end of the transverse stiffening rib 7 is connected to the steel box girder. The longitudinal stiffening ribs and transverse stiffening ribs of the grid structure can strengthen the vortex-blocking plate 4 and ensure the structural stability of the vortex-blocking plate 4.

[0036] like Figure 6As shown, the distance L2 from the longitudinal stiffening rib 6 closest to the cantilever end of the vortex baffle 4 to the cantilever end of the vortex baffle 4 is 60-100mm. This ensures that the longitudinal stiffening rib 6 closest to the cantilever end of the vortex baffle 4 has sufficient welding space and also ensures the longitudinal stiffness of the cantilever end area of ​​the vortex baffle 4.

[0037] Furthermore, based on the requirements for the local stability of the vortex baffle plate, the lateral spacing between adjacent longitudinal stiffening ribs 6 is 0.8–1.2 m. The thickness of the longitudinal stiffening rib 6 is 0–2 mm thinner than the thickness of the vortex baffle plate 4, and the rib height of the longitudinal stiffening rib 6 is 12–15 times its plate thickness. The number of longitudinal stiffening ribs 6 can be determined based on the lateral width L1 of the vortex baffle plate 4 and the lateral spacing between adjacent longitudinal stiffening ribs.

[0038] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the transverse stiffening rib 7 is a right-angled trapezoidal structure. The side length (i.e., rib height) of the fixed end of the right-angled trapezoid is greater than the side length (i.e., rib height) of its cantilever end. The right angle of the right-angled trapezoid is located close to the vortex-blocking plate. The cantilever end of the transverse stiffening rib 7 is connected to the inner wall of the longitudinal stiffening rib 6 closest to the cantilever end of the vortex-blocking plate 4. A welding hole 9 is provided at the right angle of the fixed end of the transverse stiffening rib 7 to facilitate stable welding of the transverse stiffening rib 7 to the top plate and side web of the steel box girder.

[0039] Furthermore, the height of the cantilever end of the transverse stiffening rib 7 is 10-20mm lower than the height of the longitudinal stiffening rib 6 closest to the cantilever end of the vortex barrier 4. The height H1 of the fixed end of the transverse stiffening rib 7 is 1 / 6 to 1 / 4 of the transverse width L1 of the vortex barrier 4. This ensures that the transverse stiffening rib can provide sufficient support, enhance the structural stability of the vortex barrier, and also prevents the transverse stiffening rib from being too large, leading to material waste and excessive overall weight of the steel box girder. Preferably, the longitudinal spacing of the transverse stiffening ribs 7 must be calculated and determined based on the loads on the vortex barrier (such as non-accessible roof live load, wind load, dust accumulation load, snow load, etc.). The initial proposed structure can take the spacing between adjacent transverse stiffening ribs as 1.0-1.5m.

[0040] like Figures 4-6 As shown, in this embodiment, the longitudinal stiffening rib 6 closest to the cantilever end of the vortex baffle 4 is set along the longitudinal length of the vortex baffle. The remaining longitudinal stiffening ribs and transverse stiffening ribs are connected at their intersection by either breaking the longitudinal stiffening ribs or providing weld holes on the transverse stiffening ribs.

[0041] like Figure 3As shown, the end of the wind-resistant stabilizer 5 is connected to the lower middle part of the transverse connecting beam, and the wind-resistant stabilizer 5 is set close to the steel box girder on its side. The wind-resistant stabilizer 5 includes a wing plate 5.1 and a web plate 5.2. The upper and lower sides of the web plate 5.2 are provided with wing plates 5.1 to form an I-shaped structure. The two ends of the wind-resistant stabilizer 5 are respectively connected to the web plates of the transverse connecting beams 3 at both ends.

[0042] Furthermore, the thickness of the wing plate 5.1 is 8-12 mm, the width of the wing plate 5.1 is 20-25 times its thickness, the thickness of the web plate 5.2 is 0-2 mm thinner than the thickness of the wing plate 5.1, and the angle α between the plane of the web plate 5.2 and the vertical direction, as well as the height H of the wind-resistant stabilizer 5, are determined by wind tunnel testing.

[0043] Furthermore, stiffening plates 53 are provided longitudinally on one or both sides of the web 5.2. The stiffening plates 53 connect the side of the web 5.2 and the two wing plates 5.1. The longitudinal spacing between adjacent stiffening plates 5.3 is less than or equal to 1.5 times the height of the web 5.2 to ensure the local stability of the wind-resistant stabilizer 5.

[0044] In this embodiment, longitudinal refers to the length direction of the steel box girder, and transverse refers to the width direction of the steel box girder.

[0045] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
