Description

With the increase of span, the design of arch bridges is difficult, the stress level of key components is high, the bridge span structure system is constantly transformed during construction, the arch rib segment hoisting tonnage is large, the stress state of key components and nodes is very complex, and sudden catastrophic loads may occur during construction. The stability of the construction process is outstanding. In order to fully understand the safety state of key components during the whole construction process, it is necessary to carry out stress state simulation test of large-scale components, analyze the strength and stability of key components, and then guide the optimization and improvement of design and construction method of super-long-span arch bridges.

[0003] The commonly used method for overall loading of arch bridges at present is to simulate arch bridge load by adding weights. This method has high requirements for manpower and material resources, and the loading weight is not accurate. It is time-consuming and laborious, cannot apply load at any position, and cannot accurately simulate the load conditions in actual engineering. For K-shaped nodes and cross-shaped nodes of arch bridges, the current mechanical loading device can only apply load to a small range of angles of K-shaped nodes, and cannot perform K-shaped node tests at any angle. The current experimental equipment includes the "high-speed railway foundation dynamic simulation test system" of Zhejiang University, the "high-pile wharf dynamic loading test system" of Chongqing Jiaotong University, and the "three-direction mobile static loading system" of the River and Ocean University.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the invention.

[0038] Example 1

[0039] like Figure 4 , 5 As shown, a loading test system for an arch bridge model includes a servo actuator, multiple spaced load-bearing reaction frames, a dynamic oil distributor, pipelines, and a dynamic and static control system, etc. The multiple load-bearing reaction frames are connected by a continuous beam.

[0040] The load-bearing reaction frame includes a first load-bearing reaction frame 11, a second load-bearing reaction frame 12, and a third load-bearing reaction frame 13. One of these is a 300-ton load-bearing reaction frame (meaning it can withstand a vertical load of 3000kN), and the other two are 200-ton load-bearing reaction frames (meaning they can withstand a vertical load of 2000kN). The three load-bearing reaction frames adopt a self-balancing structure, have a semi-automatic lifting function, and are placed on the reaction foundation 5.

[0041] like Figure 1 , 2As shown, each bearing counterforce frame includes a frame crossbeam 101, a frame column 102, an arc-shaped loading beam 103, a connecting crossbeam 104, an automatic lifting system 105, a working platform 106, an actuator connecting plate 107, a pull rod 108, a jack 109, a first horizontal beam 110, a second horizontal beam 111, and the like. The connecting crossbeam 104 is arranged at the top of the bearing counterforce frame and is used to connect the frame column 102. The frame crossbeam 101 and the arc-shaped loading beam 103 are fixedly connected and arranged inside the bearing counterforce frame. The arc-shaped loading beam 103 is fixed below the frame crossbeam 101, and the bottom surface of the arc-shaped loading beam 103 is an arc surface (adapted to the top surface of the arch bridge). The arc surface of the arc-shaped loading beam 103 is provided with a plurality of actuator connecting plates 107, and the servo actuators can be connected through the actuator connecting plates 107. Preferably, the central angle of the arc-shaped loading beam is greater than 90 degrees and less than or equal to 180 degrees, so as to facilitate multi-point and multi-direction loading. The frame crossbeam 101 is connected with the automatic lifting system 105, and the automatic lifting system 105 can be used to realize hydraulic automatic lifting, and the space can be adjusted by manual locking. The working platform 106 at the bottom of the bearing counterforce frame is connected with the counterforce foundation 5 through an anchor bolt.

[0042] The three bearing counterforce frames are connected through a continuously arranged horizontal beam 3. Specifically, in the embodiment, the continuously arranged horizontal beam 3 is connected with the frame crossbeam 101 of each bearing counterforce frame, and the height of the frame crossbeam 101 can be adjusted through the automatic lifting system 105, so as to adjust the height of the continuously arranged horizontal beam 3. Two loading crossbeams 4 are also arranged horizontally between the bearing counterforce frames. The two loading crossbeams 4 are long horizontal beams and are arranged at a height of 2250 mm and 5500 mm from the working platform 5, respectively. The continuously arranged horizontal beam 3 is provided with a plurality of servo actuators for vertical loading. The installation positions of the servo actuators on the continuously arranged horizontal beam 3 are adjustable.

The horizontal load can simulate the horizontal effect of the arch bridge under the action of wind load, and the out-of-plane stability of the arch bridge can be tested and researched.

[0043] In the embodiment, the servo actuators include one static electro-hydraulic servo actuator 21, one first dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuator 22, and eight second dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuators 23. The static electro-hydraulic servo actuator 21 can be selected as a 300-ton static electro-hydraulic servo actuator, the first dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuator 22 can be selected as a 100-ton dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuator, and the second dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuator 23 can be selected as a 25-ton dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuator. The 300-ton static electro-hydraulic servo actuator is connected to the frame cross beam 101 through an auxiliary device. The 100-ton dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuator can be connected to the frame cross beam 101. The 25-ton dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuator can be installed at any position in the load reaction frame and is used for multi-point and multi-directional loading. The dynamic electro-hydraulic servo actuator can provide vertical and horizontal dynamic loads for the arch bridge and can provide a test means for the fatigue failure of the arch bridge under the action of loads.

[0044] The 300-ton static electro-hydraulic servo actuator is mainly used for mechanical property tests of large bridge components and nodes and is used for vertical loading in the load reaction frame.

[0045] The dynamic and static control system includes two sets of four-channel controllers. Each set of controller has four control channels and can control up to eight actuators to simultaneously load and complete coordinated loading tests. The controllers are connected in a network to achieve mutual and coordinated loading control of the actuators of the two sets of systems and complete more complex structural component loading tests. Full-digital closed-loop control of the eight actuators can be achieved. Each channel is equipped with two closed-loop control loops of test force and displacement. The two control modes can be smoothly switched under any condition to meet the dynamic and static loading requirements of tests. The control system can accept data of force or displacement sensors (except for the sensors of the actuators) for closed-loop control. Test parameters can be transmitted to a data acquisition system in a digital or analog output mode for analysis and calculation of test results.
