Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bridge construction, and in particular relates to a novel external prestressed component of a prestressed box girder. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous improvement of bridge construction technology, the use of external prestressed tendons in bridges has been increasingly used in the construction process of modern bridges. External prestressed structures are flexible in layout, safe and reliable, and easy to construct and replace. They can greatly and effectively improve the bearing capacity of bridges, especially when the structure can work normally, and can adjust and replace cables, which is an advantage that other reinforcement methods cannot match. However, the external prestressed tendons are not wrapped in concrete and are extremely susceptible to adverse environmental influences, especially fire and corrosive chemicals. When the bridge is in an extremely corrosive environment, the corrosion protection of the external tendon strands will be the top priority of the external tendon design, which will be directly related to the service life of the external tendon or bridge structure. Summary of the invention

[0015] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0016] 1. The external prestressed cable of the present invention adopts unbonded ordinary steel strands, and can achieve quadruple corrosion protection at the same time, and has less cost investment than unbonded epoxy steel strands and unbonded galvanized steel strands.

[0017] 2. The present invention separates the anchor end and the free end.

[0040] Further, in a preferred embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 3 A sealing tape 4 is provided at the connection seam between the connecting tube 205 and the main sleeve 101.

[0041] Further, in a preferred embodiment, the main casing 101 is a HDPE pipe with a diameter of 80 to 150 mm.

[0042] Furthermore, in a preferred embodiment, the small casing 102 is a PE tube.

[0043] The installation construction method of the present invention is as follows:

[0044] 1) HDPE pipe welding and installation

[0045] Welding: HDPE pipe welding adopts hot melt tool butt welding connection. Before welding HDPE pipe, place the pipe in the clamping device and clamp it, and use parallel motorized rotary cutter to flatten the welded end faces of the two pipes under pressure. And ensure that the two end faces meet the flatness requirements when they contact each other.

[0046] Installation: Before installing the HDPE pipe, clean up the debris inside the steering gear, and then pass the HDPE pipe through the steering gear.

[0047] 2) Unbonded prestressed steel strand bundle

[0048] Cutting of unbonded prestressed steel strands: Cutting of steel strands should be carried out according to the design drawings. The cutting length of steel strands should take into account the tensioning working length at both ends. The steel strands are cut with a grinding wheel cutter.

[0049] Unbonded prestressed steel strand bundle

[0050] a) Number the cut steel strands and straighten them one by one to prevent entanglement;

[0051] b) The straightened steel strands are bundled with thin iron wires every 1 m;

[0052] c) Use a bundle threading machine to clean the pipeline before bundling to ensure that the pipeline is unobstructed and free of water or other debris;

[0053] d) The steel strands are matched with a bundle threading machine;

[0054] e) When threading the bundle, tie one end of the prestressed bundle with tape to facilitate threading and avoid scratching the pipe during threading.

[0055] f) When threading the bundle, it should be dragged back and forth without twisting to ensure that the steel strands are straight.

[0056] g) After bundling, ensure that the working length of the steel strands at both ends is not less than the design value.

[0057] 3) Installation of tensioning equipment and tensioning of steel strands

[0058] a) Installation of tensioning equipment

[0059] The installation order of the tensioning equipment from inside to outside is: anchor plate, working anchor, working clip, limit plate, jack, tool anchor, tool clip. After the bundle is threaded, clean the anchor plate first, install the working anchor in the groove of the anchor plate, and keep the working anchor and the anchor plate vertically and tightly together. Push the clip along the steel strand into the tapered hole of the working anchor until it cannot be pushed by hand, and then tamp it with a steel pipe. The clip should be installed flush. Install the jack and connect it to the oil pump, and install the tool anchor and tool anchor clip.

[0060] b) Steel strand tensioning

[0061] The steel strand tensioning adopts symmetrical tensioning at both ends at the same time. After the single box girder of the main bridge is fully closed, the external strand tensioning construction will begin. The tensioning sequence of the steel strand should be tensioning the long strand first and then the short strand, and the tensioning should be symmetrical at both ends.

[0062] Prestressing is carried out in two stages. The first stage is prestressing, and the tensioning force is 10% of the designed prestressing. After the prestressing is completed, the pipeline is grouting, and the second stage of prestressing is carried out after the cement slurry reaches the designed strength. The second stage of tensioning is carried out in three levels: 15%, 30%, and 100%. After each level of tensioning is completed, the load must be held for 5 minutes and tensioning records must be kept. The tensioning process adopts a dual standard control of tensioning force as the main and elongation as the auxiliary. During the tensioning process, the deviation between the actual elongation and the theoretical elongation should not be greater than ±6%. When tensioning to the design value, hold the load for 5 minutes. If the actual elongation value is within the allowable deviation range, slowly return the oil, anchor, and withdraw the top.

[0063] 4) Grouting and installation of protective cover

[0064] a) Install temporary tool protection cover

[0065] After the tensioning is completed, a portable grinding wheel cutter is used to cut the excess steel strands outside the anchor plate, and the reserved length is controlled according to the design drawings. Grease the inner wall of the tool protection cover with a layer of grease, install a temporary protection cover, remove it after the wax is injected and solidified, and install a permanent protection cover.

[0066] b) Grouting

[0067] Use an air compressor to blow away the debris in the hole. In the cement slurry, add water and admixtures first and then cement in the grout mixer. Grouting is done from bottom to top. Start the grouting pump. When the slurry output by the grouting pump reaches the required consistency, grouting begins. During the grouting process, the grouting pump keeps working continuously.

[0068] c) Install permanent protective cover

[0069] After the hole grouting is completed and reaches the required strength, the second stage of tensioning is carried out. After the tensioning is completed, the prestressed anchor head is treated with anti-corrosion treatment, the steel strand is re-applied with grease for anti-corrosion, wax is injected, and a permanent protective cover is installed.

[0070] d) Oil-injected wax

[0071] The oily wax is injected in two parts. One part is used between the anchor plate and the sealing plate of the anchor system, and the other part is used inside the protective cover. The oily wax is applied using a hot melt wax injection machine.

[0072] 5) Shock absorber installation

[0073] The external prestressed system vibration damper is mainly used to fix the external beam and reduce the vibration of the external beam under the action of dynamic load. The vibration damper is connected to the bridge body as a whole through embedded bolts. The external beam is tightened by tightening the nut.
