[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of civil engineering, in particular to a toughened column pier bridge anti-overturning structure. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, single-column pier bridges with a single column and a single support in the middle of multi-span bridges have caused many serious accidents of bridge lateral overturning and overall collapse under extreme overload trucks. At present, there are many technical solutions to improve the anti-overturning performance of the above bridges.

[0003] In the invention patent "A single-column pier bridge anti-overturning drop beam device" (CN 111945548 A), a scheme is designed to connect the upper structure and the lower structure through anchoring brackets and compression springs on the side of the pier cap beam and the side of the main beam, forming a force whole.

[0004] In the invention patent "A bridge anti-overturning device and its construction method" (CN 114747467 A), it is proposed to use anchor bolts and tension-resistant components to connect the cap beam and the main beam to improve the anti-overturning stability of the bridge.

[0005] In the invention patent "A viaduct anti-overturning and dumping alarm system" (CN 114990988 A), it is proposed to use a combination of sliding components, hydraulic devices, and damping balls to slow down the overturning process of the upper structure and alert personnel when the bridge overturns.

[0006] In the invention patent "A single-column pier bridge anti-overturning energy dissipation reinforcement device" (CN 111877189 A), a ring-shaped hoop assembly is used to achieve fixed connection of the device with the pier and the beam body, and the lateral displacement of the bridge under earthquakes and heavy vehicles is dissipated through the deformation of the connecting device.

[0007] In the invention patent "A steel structure for column pier bridge canopy jacking without interrupting traffic" (CN 215329416 U), a steel hoop, a steel corbel, a high-strength anchor bolt, and a grouting layer are used to form an extended steel corbel on the existing pier, and in addition to replacing the support construction, auxiliary supports can also be placed to assist in anti-overturning.

[0008] In the invention patent "A single-column pier bridge anti-overturning reinforcement device" (CN 214219419 U), the bridge beam body, support, and pier are welded in a full-welding manner, and the cap beam is connected to the pile cap to improve the overturning stability.

[0010] From the currently disclosed design scheme, the reinforcement measures for the main girder overturning do not involve several key contents: 1. The bridge structure is designed according to the requirements of the specification, and has a design allowable lateral deformation under the action of normal vehicle load, but the reinforcement scheme currently adopted is a fixed mode, which will cause the reinforced structure to be additionally constrained and unable to produce the design allowable free deformation under the action of normal vehicle load; 2. This fixed mode essentially changes the entire bridge stress structure system, and the constrained deformation under the action of normal vehicle load will in turn generate additional forces and moments on the bridge pier that are not considered in the original bridge design, but the disclosed scheme does not reinforce the lower part of the bridge pier which is the weakest in stress, which will cause the originally safe bridge pier under the action of normal vehicle load to be damaged after reinforcement; 3. The existing reinforcement mode still relies on the load bearing capacity of the girder body and the load bearing capacity of the bridge pier in the original bridge design for the final overturning safety of the structure, and will not greatly improve the anti-overturning bearing capacity of the bridge, and there is still a risk of overturning under extreme vehicle action.

[0025] The structure and principles of the present application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which are very clear to those skilled in the art. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and do not limit the present application.

[0026] The present application is a kind of toughened column pier bridge anti-overturning structure, the specific structure is as follows:

[0027] 1. The upper part of the pier is close to the position of the beam body, which realizes the transverse pier expansion connection through the special designed steel structure, high-strength anchor bolt and steel fiber concrete.

[0028] 2. The upper part of the pier is close to the position of the beam body, in addition to the expansion connection, the transverse prestressed tension is used to apply transverse pre-pressure to the pier and its connecting structure, so that the original upper section of the pier is in vertical and transverse compression state, and the resistance of itself is increased; at the same time, the transverse prestress increases the adhesion of steel structure, steel fiber concrete and existing pier.

[0029] 3. The upper part of the pier is close to the position of the main beam, in addition to the expansion connection, vertical support is designed on the top surface of the steel structure, and a certain gap Δ is left between the top surface of the vertical support and the bottom surface of the beam body. L 1. The maximum allowable torsion angle α of the bridge under design load max The corresponding transverse distance is d 1. The deformation of the position can occur freely, and the design size relationship meets the following requirements:

[0030] Δ L 1=α max ×d 1+1-3mm.

[0031] 4、preferably, the increased ultimate state vertical support to the transverse distance to the pier beam center d 1 should not be less than 1.25m, the parameter is determined by statistical analysis data, in the case of sufficient bearing capacity of the bridge pier, not less than 1.25m center distance of ultimate state vertical support has significant improvement on the overall stability of the bridge overturning.

[0032] 5, the upper part of the pier near the main beam, in addition to the expansion of the connection and the ultimate state vertical support, in the vertical direction close to the pier, through the vertical pull rod through the beam bottom, anchoring in the beam, the other side of the additional steel fiber reinforced concrete, fixed with the rigid support platform. The anchoring position in the beam is kept a certain distance Δ from the beam bottom surface L 2, the maximum allowable torsion angle α of the bridge under the design load max The corresponding transverse distance d 2 position can occur freely, the design size relationship meets the following requirements:

[0033] Δ L 2=α max × d 2+1-3mm.

[0034] 6, above, through the ultimate state vertical support with a distance Δ L 1 and the ultimate state vertical pull rod with a distance Δ L 2, the reinforcement structure does not change the bridge structure system under normal design load, so that the stress characteristics of the existing structure under normal load are still consistent with the design state, and the safety of the structure under normal state is ensured. Under the extreme vehicle action exceeding the design load, the ultimate state vertical support, the ultimate state vertical pull rod and the beam body and the lower structure are connected to form a new structure system, which forms a new resisting moment through one side tension and one side compression, and improves the anti-overturning stability of the bridge beam body part.

[0035] 7, in the extreme case exceeding the design load, due to the change of the structure system, the structure at the upper part of the pier close to the main beam position brings a large eccentric load to the section at the lower part of the pier close to the ground position, so that the section close to the ground position of the pier becomes the key to restrict the overall overturning stability of the structure. In particular, the ultimate bearing capacity of the section is improved by carbon fiber reinforcement, thereby improving the resistance of the entire pier in the overturning process.

[0036] 8, further, in order to realize the alarm of the above-mentioned pier reinforcement structure under the design load, a current collecting device, a signal sending device, a wire, a metal sheet and a micro power generation device are arranged outside the vertical support.

[0037] 9. One metal sheet is placed at the bottom of the beam and another at the top of the vertical support. These metal sheets are connected in series with other electrical devices. Under normal load conditions, the beam and vertical support do not contact each other; the two metal sheets separate, breaking the entire circuit and generating no signal. Under extreme loads, the beam and vertical support come into contact, and the two metal sheets adhere, connecting the circuit. The miniature generator produces a small current, which is collected by the current acquisition device and sent to the signal transmission device. The signal transmission device then transmits this signal to the remote control center, providing an alarm for extreme situations.

[0038] In one specific implementation method

[0039] See Figure 1 As shown, a specially designed steel structure is used at the upper part of the pier near the beam, and high-strength anchor bolts are inserted into the upper part of the existing pier to connect the existing pier. Steel fiber reinforced concrete is poured into the space between the pier, the specially designed steel structure and the high-strength anchor bolts to form a whole.

[0040] Before the steel fiber reinforced concrete is poured, the ultimate state vertical tie rod passes through the specially designed steel structure and the pier. The upper end is inserted into the beam through a hole drilled in the bottom of the concrete beam. After the steel fiber reinforced concrete is poured, a bond force is formed between the ultimate state vertical tie rod and the steel fiber reinforced concrete.

[0041] After the steel fiber reinforced concrete is poured and solidified, the transverse prestressing tendons are tensioned, causing the upper part of the existing pier to be under bidirectional compression under the combined action of the beam's self-weight and transverse prestressing. This improves the stress state of the upper section of the pier and increases its ability to withstand ultimate loads. At the same time, the tensioning of the prestressing tendons creates transverse pressure in the specially designed steel structure and steel fiber reinforced concrete, making the connection between them and the pier more robust and creating prestress for the steel fiber reinforced concrete, significantly improving the stress conditions of the concrete.

[0042] By reinforcing the lower part of the bridge pier near the ground with carbon fiber, the bearing capacity of the lower section of the pier under eccentric loads in the ultimate condition is increased. Through separate reinforcement measures on the upper and lower parts of the pier, the overall overturning resistance of the pier is improved.

[0043] Ultimate limit state vertical supports are installed on the top surface of the specially designed steel structure. The distance from the ultimate limit state vertical supports to the center of the beam and the pier is... d 1 (e.g.) Figure 2 As shown, the distance Δ between the top surface of the vertical support and the bottom of the beam in the ultimate condition is set to 1.25m. L 1. The maximum allowable torsional angle α of a bridge under design load. max Δ L 1=α max × d 1+2mm.

[0044] The anchoring of the ultimate state vertical tie rod through the steel fiber reinforced concrete and the beam bottom plate inside the beam leaves a distance Δ from the top surface of the beam bottom plate L 2, the distance from the center of the bridge is d 2, the maximum allowable torsion angle of the bridge under the design load is α max , Δ L 2=α max × d 2+2mm.

[0045] An alarm component is arranged outside the top surface of the specially designed steel structure and the ultimate state vertical support.

[0046] As shown in Figure 3 , the alarm component is composed of an upper metal sheet, a lower metal sheet, a current collection device, a signal sending device, and a micro power generation device, which are connected in series through wires.

[0047] Among them, the upper metal sheet is installed on the bottom surface of the beam bottom plate, and the lower metal sheet is installed on the top surface of the ultimate state vertical support. Both are in a non-contact state when the bridge is normally stressed, and the upper metal sheet and the lower metal sheet on the transverse side come into contact with each other when the torsion of the beam exceeds the design allowable value.

[0048] At this time, the micro power generation device is located between the beam bottom and the pier, and when the beam is twisted, the micro power generation device can generate a small current based on electromagnetic principles, mechanical principles, or piezoelectric principles.

[0049] When the bridge is normally stressed, the upper metal sheet and the lower metal sheet are not in contact, and the entire alarm component circuit is in a short-circuit state, and the electronic system does not work; when the torsion of the beam exceeds the design allowable value, the upper metal sheet and the lower metal sheet on the transverse side come into contact with each other, forming a loop, and the current collection device and the signal sending device receive the current generated by the micro power generation device, realizing signal transmission.

[0050] As shown in Figure 4 , an example of a special steel structure mentioned in this patent is shown.

[0051] The upper transverse prestressed anchoring steel structure and the lower transverse prestressed anchoring steel structure are used for transverse prestressed threading and anchoring, the ultimate state vertical support anchoring steel structure is used for ultimate state vertical support threading and lower anchoring, and the bottom steel structure and the side steel structure form an external wrapping, providing the outermost constraint for Figure 1 the pouring of the steel fiber reinforced concrete in the middle, and the stiffening steel structure is a component that strengthens the entire steel structure and Figure 1 connects the stressed components of the steel fiber reinforced concrete in the middle.
