[0002] In recent years, the design of irregular steel structure bridges and unconventional bridge construction technologies have been widely applied in urban bridge construction. Municipal bridges bear the mission of urban traffic operation, and whether bridges can be completed and opened to traffic on schedule is of great significance to municipal transportation. Therefore, rapid construction technologies for urban bridges have also been favored by many researchers.

[0003] Unlike highway bridges, urban bridge construction sites are often located in bustling urban areas with heavy traffic, surrounded by schools, residential areas, and commercial districts, thus facing numerous constraints such as site availability, traffic flow, construction period, and aesthetics. At the beginning of this century, my country's urban bridge construction entered a phase of rapid and high-quality development, giving rise to many new concepts, such as people-oriented design and prefabricated bridges; as well as technological innovations such as system innovation, structural innovation, and the application of new technologies and materials. The emergence of unconventional technologies, such as the box girder walking-launching method, the box girder dragging and sliding method, the main tower horizontal rotation method, and the main tower vertical rotation method, has greatly improved the construction efficiency of irregularly shaped steel structure bridges within limited urban spaces.

The method for simultaneous construction of the tower and beam of a cable-stayed bridge with irregular steel towers according to claim 8, characterized in that: In step nine, the sealing and welding process at the closure interface and hinge is as follows: a temporary support plate is welded at the closure interface, and multiple sets of support plates are used inside the lattice column to temporarily connect the two steel tower legs; after the overall spatial attitude of the steel tower is measured and confirmed to be correct, the contact surface at the hinge between the steel-concrete composite section and the T1 section is sealed and welded; the closure contact surface of the two tower legs is sealed and welded inside the lattice column, the temporary support plate is removed, and the steel tower construction is completed.

10. The method for simultaneous construction of the tower and beam of a cable-stayed bridge with irregular steel towers according to claim 2, characterized in that: The steel tower support and the gantry crane foundation are connected to each other using a horizontal connection.
