Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of bridge steel diaphragm beams, and in particular relates to a triangular steel diaphragm beam of a beam bridge and a high-precision construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The diaphragm plays a role in ensuring that the main beams are connected to each other as a whole in the assembled T-beam bridge. It is a common lateral connection in beam bridges that strengthens the lateral stiffness and lateral stability between beams, improves the overall performance of each beam and the lateral transfer of load. The greater its stiffness, the better the integrity of the bridge, and the main beams can work better together under the load.

[0003] In recent years, the rapid development of the transportation industry has led to the construction of a large number of large-scale bridge projects. At the same time, the problem of bridge defects has become increasingly prominent. As for diaphragms, there are many problems with concrete diaphragms during use, such as: the existence of oblique cracks at the connection between the concrete diaphragm and the wet cast joint, the existence of defects, exposed reinforcement, alkali efflorescence in the concrete end diaphragm, and the existence of misalignment of the diaphragm due to construction errors.

[0004] Compared with traditional diaphragms, steel diaphragms are a structure with better integrity and more convenient construction. The components are made of high-strength and durable steel, and are combined with anti-corrosion processes such as paint to make the components have strong bearing capacity and durability. The main components of the steel diaphragm are produced and welded in the factory, so the quality of the components can be guaranteed and the construction error can be controlled; make full use of industrialized and standardized batch production prefabrication, and standardize the production of steel diaphragms according to parameters such as the beam height and wet joint width of the T beam, so that the total construction period of design and construction is shorter. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned problems existing in the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a triangular steel diaphragm of a beam bridge and a high-precision construction method thereof, which can improve the problems of easy cracking and difficult alignment existing in traditional concrete diaphragm beams, and has good overall structural stability and good structural stress-bearing performance.

[0006] The present invention provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A triangular steel diaphragm of a beam bridge is installed between adjacent T-beams; it includes a top node widening steel plate connected to the post-cast concrete between adjacent beam flanges and a lower node steel plate arranged on the beam webs on both sides; the lower node steel plates on both sides are connected to the top node widening steel plate through steel pipes; the lower node steel plates on both sides are connected to the bolt sleeves pre-buried in the bottom of the corresponding beam web concrete through high-strength bolts to form a lateral force transmission structure.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower node steel plate on one side is connected to the steel pipe through a cross node plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a foot support is provided on the lower node steel plate on the other side, and a connecting plate is provided on the corresponding steel pipe. The connecting plate and the foot support are connected by high-strength bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, a group of shear studs are provided on the widened steel plate of the top node. The widened steel plate of the top node is cast in the concrete of the post-cast strip between adjacent beam flanges through the shear studs. The width of the widened steel plate of the top node is 4-6 cm larger than the width of the post-cast strip between adjacent beam flanges; bolt hole processing positions are reserved on the left lower node steel plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the bolt sleeve is limited by a rectangular steel frame, and the rectangular steel frame is formed by splicing two limited steel brackets with holes; the rectangular steel frame, the bolt sleeve and the high-strength bolts are all pre-embedded in the main beam.

[0012] A high-precision construction method for a triangular steel cross beam of a beam bridge includes the following steps:

[0013] S1. Produce the main components and accessories of the triangular steel cross beam, including the following steps:

[0014] 1.1) Reserve bolt hole processing positions at node J on the left lower node steel plate A , node J on the connecting plate C and node J on the foot support D . Process bolt holes at node J on the right lower node steel plate B ;

[0015] 1.2) Weld and fix the left lower node steel plate and the foot support to form a fitting, and process other components separately to form the main components of the triangular steel cross beam;

[0016] 1.3) During the production and processing of the components, ensure that the actual areas of the lower node steel plates on both sides are larger than the theoretical design areas to reserve adjustment space for balancing the construction errors generated during the prefabrication of the concrete main beam and the pre-embedding of the bolt sleeves. Other components are prefabricated according to the drawing 1:1;

[0017] S2. Prefabricate the concrete main beam:

[0019] S3. Construct the concrete main beam: Determine the construction error between the dimensions of the on-site concrete main beams and the theoretical design dimensions, and adjust the fixed positions of the lower node steel plates;

[0020] S4. Hoist and construct the concrete main beam. After the hoisting construction is completed, record the ambient temperature as the measured temperature, and measure the joint J A 、J C and J D The actual spatial positions of the reserved bolt hole positions at and the bolt hole positions of the completed drilled joint J B at are matched with the embedded bolt spatial positions at the main beam web and numbered;

[0021] S5. According to the actual spatial positions and numbers of the bolt hole positions determined in S4, drill bolt holes at the joint J A at, and use high-strength bolts to connect and fix the main beam with the matching position of the drilled fitting and the embedded sleeve on one side; Secondly, match and number the main components of the triangular steel cross diaphragm beam with drilled bolt holes at the joint J B at with the position of the embedded sleeve on the other side; Finally, according to the construction error, after hoisting the components, determine the number of holes required for connection between the joint J C at and the joint J D at, and drill and number the bolt holes at the connecting plate and the foot support respectively according to the actual quantity and position;

[0022] S6. Install the steel cross diaphragm beam in stages.

[0023] Furthermore, the specific process of the step S6 is as follows:

[0024] Select the steel cross diaphragm beam components that match the bolt sleeve position and the foot support node, fix the right lower node steel plate with pre-set bolt holes at the determined position, and use high-strength bolts to connect the right lower node steel plate with the main beam through the bolt sleeve embedded at the bottom of the adjacent beam web concrete; Then connect the connecting plate with the fixed foot support, and finally complete the assembly construction of the overall triangular steel cross diaphragm beam.

[0025] Furthermore, the ratio of the actual area to the theoretical design area of the precast lower node steel plates on both sides is 1.05 - 1.15.

[0026] Furthermore, in the step S6, when installing the steel cross diaphragm beam, control the temperature difference between the ambient temperature during the installation of the steel cross diaphragm beam and the measured ambient temperature to balance the construction error caused by the deviation between the actual installation temperature and the measured temperatures at the joints J A 、J B 、J C and J D at, and improve the construction accuracy.
