TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge construction, in particular to a bridge deck continuous composite structure with beam end anti-cracking function. BACKGROUND
[0002] The bridge deck continuous composite beam structure is a common bridge structure form, which has the advantages of light structure, large span, good smoothness, reasonable cost, and convenient construction. Since the steel longitudinal beam of the bridge deck continuous composite structure is disconnected at the center line of the pier (the disconnected length is generally 5-8 cm), and the concrete bridge deck is continuous, the end of the steel girder bridge deck is the most weak force bearing position. Under the temperature and vehicle load, the steel girder part will produce a certain horizontal displacement and rotation, and since the length of the steel girder bridge deck is small, it will produce a large longitudinal tensile stress, resulting in cracking of the steel girder bridge deck.
[0003] In order to inhibit the cracking of the bridge deck continuous composite beam structure bridge deck at the steel longitudinal girder part, there are two common treatment methods: 1. The bridge deck structure at the end of the steel longitudinal girder is made of a new material with better tensile performance; 2. Reinforcing the bridge deck structure at the end of the steel longitudinal girder to reduce cracking. For these two schemes, the following shortcomings exist: 1) for scheme 1, on the one hand, it is difficult to find a new material that meets the corresponding requirements, and the connection problem between the new material and ordinary concrete, the construction process, the cost of the new material and other problems need to be solved, and the actual implementation effect is limited; for scheme 2, due to the inherent defect of poor tensile performance of concrete, the bridge deck will still crack after local strengthening of the steel girder bridge deck. SUMMARY

[0011] According to the technical scheme, the top surface of the steel beam is provided with a top plate, and the strip-shaped opening is located at the upper part of the steel beam and extends upward to cut off the top plate.

[0013] According to the technical scheme, the width of the thin steel plate is 50-100 mm, and the length of the thin steel plate is equal to the width of the top plate of the steel beam.
[0014] According to the technical scheme, a vertical reinforcing rib is arranged between every two adjacent strip-shaped openings, and a vertical reinforcing rib is also arranged outside the strip-shaped opening at the end.
[0015] According to the technical scheme, a plurality of shear nails are inlaid in the lower part of the bridge deck along the bridge length direction in sequence, and the vertical reinforcing rib is arranged directly below the corresponding shear nail.

[0017] The present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0018] The present application releases the longitudinal constraint of the steel beam on the bridge deck while retaining the vertical support of the steel beam on the bridge deck, thereby expanding the length of the bridge deck that bears the longitudinal displacement from the traditional inter-beam bridge deck to the inter-beam and both-side flexible belt bridge deck. Since the longitudinal displacement of the steel beam at the end of the service period of the bridge is unchanged, the present application can greatly reduce the tensile stress of the inter-beam bridge deck and eliminate the cracking of the bridge deck after lengthening the length of the tensile zone of the bridge deck.

[0038] The working principle of the present application is as follows: the main structural components of the present application are as shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which mainly comprise: a deck slab 1, a steel beam 3, and a flexible expansion belt 2 arranged on the steel beam:
[0039] As shown in Figure 3 , which is a partial structural schematic diagram of the structure, wherein the top and bottom plates of the deck slab are both provided with upper and lower steel meshes 11 and 12.
[0040] According to the above scheme, the length L1 of the flexible expansion belt is 1000-2000 mm.
[0041] According to the above scheme, the flexible expansion belt 2 is realized by arranging a series of strip-shaped openings 22 on the steel beam.

[0050] In summary, continuous composite beam structures, as a common bridge structural form, offer advantages such as lightweight construction, large span, good ride comfort, reasonable cost, and convenient construction. However, because continuous composite beam structures consist of simply supported steel beams with a continuous deck, they are highly susceptible to cracking at the break points in the main beams during bridge service due to temperature and load effects. The innovation of this invention lies in designing cuts in the top plate and web of the steel main beam ends within a certain range, forming a flexible expansion band at the top of the beam ends. This expands the length of the bridge deck bearing longitudinal loads, reducing or even eliminating cracking of the bridge deck between beams.
[0051] In summary, the inter-beam bridge deck is free from cracking: the present application forms a flexible expansion belt at the end of the steel beam by cutting the top plate and web within a certain range of the end of the steel beam, which releases the longitudinal constraint of the steel beam on the bridge deck while retaining the vertical support of the steel beam on the bridge deck, thereby expanding the length of the bridge deck that bears longitudinal displacement from the traditional inter-beam bridge deck (length: b = 5-8 cm, b is also the spacing length between the ends of two adjacent steel beams) to the inter-beam and two-side flexible belt bridge deck (length: b+2L1 = 200-400 cm); since the longitudinal displacement of the steel beam at the end of the service period of the bridge does not change, the present application can greatly reduce the tensile stress of the inter-beam bridge deck after lengthening the length of the tensile zone of the bridge deck, and eliminate the cracking of the bridge deck; strong waterproof ability and good structural durability: after using the present application, the bridge deck does not crack, the structure has good waterproof performance, can effectively prevent the corrosion of steel bars and steel beams, and improve the structural durability; large structural stiffness and strong bearing capacity: for the present application, since the bridge deck is basically free from cracking, the bridge deck structure has good integrity, large bridge deck stiffness and strong bearing capacity; the bridge deck is smoother: after using the new structure, the inter-beam bridge deck does not crack, the bridge deck stiffness is more uniform, and the bridge deck is smoother.
[0052] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present application, of course, cannot limit the scope of the patent rights of the present application, therefore, the equivalent changes made in the scope of the patent application of the present application, still belongs to the protection scope of the present application.
