Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a T-shaped special-shaped wet joint structure between precast slabs for UHPC bridge decks. Background Art

[0002] As an important part of the bridge structure, the bridge deck not only bears the direct action of vehicle loads but also provides a working surface for the paving structure above it. It is the component most directly affected by adverse factors such as overloading, corrosion, and fatigue. Therefore, its working state will directly affect the service life of the main bridge structure and the driving comfort. In the traditional steel-concrete bridge deck composite structure, ordinary concrete is used for the bridge deck. Due to the relatively low tensile strength of concrete, the slab thickness is relatively large, the structural self-weight is relatively large, it is difficult to meet the requirements of long-span bridge main girders, and it is easy to crack near wet joints, negative moment areas, stay cable anchorage areas, etc., affecting the service life of the main bridge structure and the paving structure. Ultra-high performance concrete has the advantages of high elastic modulus, high compressive and tensile strength, and good creep characteristics. (Using precast ultra-high performance concrete to make the bridge deck) can reduce the structural size, reduce the structural self-weight, improve the effectiveness of the structure to resist loads and increase the spanning ability, and at the same time provide a good working surface for the paving structure.

[0003] At present, the rapid construction technology of assembled prefabrication in the field of bridge construction has been vigorously studied, developed, and applied by the country and the industry; ultra-high performance concrete bridge structures have received attention and have been gradually developed and applied in prefabricated assembly technology due to their light weight and high strength. However, in terms of ultra-high performance concrete precast bridge decks, there is no engineering application experience in China. Due to the ultra-thin precast components of ultra-high performance concrete and the dense reinforcement in the slab, it brings two major problems to the construction of cast-in-place wet joints. The first problem is the influence of the dense reinforcement reserved in the wet joint. There are two traditional methods: one is to reserve circular reinforcement in the precast slab and connect the circular reinforcement reserved in two adjacent precast slabs to ensure the effective connection of the wet joint. However, due to the existence of the circular reinforcement, it is difficult to install and disassemble the formwork of the precast slab, and when removing the formwork, it is easy to damage the component; the other is to reserve enough long reinforcement in the precast slab, and the reserved reinforcement is connected into a whole by binding or welding to ensure the effective connection of the wet joint. Due to the dense reinforcement in the slab, when installing the precast slab, the reinforcement in adjacent precast slabs is prone to overlap and cross, bringing difficulties to the installation of the precast slab. The second problem is the problem of the bottom void of the reserved reinforcement. Since the precast slab is ultra-thin, generally the upper reinforcement is exposed in the tooth grooves of the precast slab. When pouring the ultra-high performance concrete of the wet joint, it is very difficult to compact the bottom of the reinforcement, resulting in weak links in the wet joint structure, and there is no corresponding solution in the traditional structure. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a T-shaped cast-in-place joint structure that is convenient for installing and disassembling precast bridge decks and strengthens the connection of precast bridge decks.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to solve its technical problems is as follows: on any one side, or on 2 - 4 side surfaces of the upper part of the precast bridge deck, there is a joint end with a stepped special-shaped structure, that is, the thickness of the joint end is less than the thickness of the middle part of the precast bridge deck. A tooth groove structure is provided on the joint end. The steel bars extending from the upper layer of the precast bridge deck in the tooth groove structure are partially wrapped. The tooth groove structure, the joint end and the precast bridge deck are an integral formed by one-time casting; there is a clearance fit between two adjacent precast bridge decks of the joint. Since the corresponding joint ends of two adjacent precast bridge decks are stepped structures, a T-shaped space structure is formed between two adjacent precast bridge decks, and a T-shaped cast-in-place joint structure is formed by cast-in-place concrete.

[0006] Two UHPC bridge deck precast slabs with a stepped structure in which the steel bars are partially wrapped are lapped on the same steel beam at the joint end of the present invention. There is a gap of 10 - 60 cm between the two UHPC bridge deck precast slabs. The steel beam slab is below this gap. 1 - 3 rows of vertical stud bolts are welded on the steel beam slab to form a T-shaped special-shaped space structure; a tooth groove structure is provided on the joint end of the UHPC bridge deck precast slab. The steel bars extending from the upper layer of the precast bridge deck in the tooth groove structure are partially wrapped. The tooth groove structure, the joint end and the precast bridge deck are an integral preformed by one-time; longitudinal reinforcing bars (4) in the same direction as the extending steel bars of the UHPC bridge deck precast slab and transverse steel bars in a direction perpendicular thereto are arranged in the T-shaped special-shaped space. The longitudinal reinforcing bars are arranged in parallel with the gap of the extending steel bars of the UHPC bridge deck precast slab without any welding. A cast-in-place joint structure is formed by cast-in-place UHPC concrete to transfer the tensile force meeting the design requirements.

[0007] The internal steel bars of the precast bridge deck of the present invention extend out of the joint end, that is, the internal steel bars extend out of the joint end according to the design requirements, which is beneficial to strengthening the joint strength during cast-in-place joint.

[0008] The internal steel bars of the precast bridge deck of the present invention include two or more upper-layer joint embedded steel bars and two or more lower-layer joint embedded steel bars. Both the upper-layer joint embedded steel bars and the lower-layer joint embedded steel bars extend out of the precast bridge deck by 2 to the T-shaped cast-in-place joint 3. The upper-layer joint embedded steel bars of two adjacent precast bridge decks 2 correspond to each other, and the lower-layer joint embedded steel bars correspond to each other. Both the upper-layer joint embedded steel bars and the lower-layer joint embedded steel bars extend into the cast-in-place joint of the T-shaped special-shaped space. The positions of the upper-layer joint embedded steel bars of two adjacent precast bridge decks (2) correspond to each other, and the positions of the lower-layer joint embedded steel bars also correspond to each other.

[0009] The internal steel bars of the precast bridge deck of the present invention include upper joint embedded steel bars 211 and lower joint embedded steel bars 212. The upper joint embedded steel bars inside the precast bridge deck are radially exposed at the upper part of the joint end, that is, they are not embedded inside the joint end; the stepped surface of the joint end is a special-shaped step 21, and the tooth groove structure is arranged on the special-shaped step 21.

[0010] The upper joint embedded steel bars inside the precast bridge deck of the present invention are radially exposed at the upper part of the joint end, and the stepped surface of the joint end is a special-shaped step 21; the upper steel bars inside the precast bridge deck are partially wrapped by the boss structures 23 at the upper part of the joint end, that is, the upper steel bars are radially exposed at the upper part of the stepped surface of the joint end, that is, they are not completely embedded inside the joint end. All the boss structures 23 at the joint end and the upper part of the joint end are formed by one-time casting with the precast bridge deck through a mold, so as to form a tooth groove-like structure on the stepped surface of the joint end.

[0011] A joint strengthening steel bar 4 is arranged between two adjacent upper joint embedded steel bars and the corresponding two upper joint embedded steel bars or between two lower joint embedded steel bars and the corresponding two lower joint embedded steel bars. The length of the joint strengthening steel bar 4 is the width of the T-shaped cast-in-place joint 3.

The length of the joint strengthening steel bar (4) is more than 1 mm less than the width of the T-shaped special-shaped space.

The upper joint embedded steel bars 211 and the lower joint embedded steel bars 212 of two adjacent precast bridge decks 2 correspond to each other, and the docking gap is not less than 10 mm and not more than 50 mm.

All the convex platform structures 23 at the joint end and the upper part of the joint end are integrally cast with the precast bridge deck through a mold, so that the step surface at the joint end forms a longitudinal tooth-shaped groove structure.
