Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge construction technology, and specifically to a method for prefabricating precast bridge cap beams. Background Technology

[0002] The construction of urban elevated bridges encroaches on the existing road space, significantly impacting residents' travel and the surrounding environment. Prefabricated bridges are gaining increasing attention in the engineering field due to their ease of industrialization and standardization, controllable construction quality, simultaneous on-site construction and post-construction prefabrication, short construction period, and minimal environmental impact from factory prefabrication.

[0003] Currently, the main construction methods for cap beams are divided into ground-supported construction and non-supported construction. Supported construction has disadvantages such as long erection period, restriction by ground traffic, high foundation treatment cost, uneconomical construction of high piers, and large errors in the produced cap beams. In the existing cap beam production process, the safety of the hoisting process is often overlooked. Due to their heavy weight and difficulty in hoisting, it is necessary to ensure the safety of hoisting. Therefore, it is particularly important to select hoisting points reasonably. Summary of the Invention

The two lifting points of the cap beam are calculated using a design model, greatly increasing the accuracy of the lifting point positioning. This eliminates the need for manual measurement, making the positioning of the lifting points more accurate and reasonable, effectively increasing the stability and safety of the cap beam during lifting.
