AI Technical Summary
In the splicing of new and old bridges, existing technologies have safety hazards or limited adaptability to deformation, especially under conditions of eccentric loading and settlement of the new bridge, which can easily lead to uneven stress on the flange plates, resulting in safety hazards or height differences.
The buffer limiting connection method is adopted, which involves setting buffer limiting connectors between the new and old bridges. These connectors include rigid connectors connecting the new bridge, rigid connectors connecting the old bridge, and an elastic body. Upper and lower gaps are reserved. The elastic body adapts to deformation during small deformations, while the rigid connectors firmly transmit the load during large deformations, thus balancing the smoothness of the bridge deck and the structural safety.
When the deflection difference is small, the structure is allowed to deform on its own to ensure the smoothness of the bridge deck. When the deflection difference is large, it participates in the force-bearing process to achieve safe force transmission of the structure, reduce the shearing effect of the old bridge, adapt to the splicing requirements of new and old bridges with different spans, and improve traffic safety and structural stability.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of new and old bridge splicing, in particular to a new and old bridge buffering and limiting connection method and connection structure. BACKGROUND
[0002] In reconstruction and expansion projects, some projects use the method of splicing new and old bridges together to improve the traffic capacity of the bridge surface. However, due to the early construction of the old bridge and the low technical specifications, after splicing, the wing plate is easily subjected to large adverse effects under the action of eccentric load and new bridge settlement. Some projects use the method of not connecting to completely release the constraints of new and old bridges, but the new bridge continues to settle, resulting in a height difference on both sides. During driving, there will also be a large deflection difference on the left and right sides, which can easily lead to unstable wheels and pose a safety hazard.
[0003] Patent CN202111477964.1 discloses a new and old bridge widening structure that adapts to multi-directional displacement. This patent is a method that completely releases the constraints of new and old bridges. Patent CN201420308512.X discloses a new and old bridge longitudinal elastic concrete flexible splicing structure. This patent is based on elastic concrete and adapts to the deflection difference between new and old bridges to improve the smoothness of the bridge surface. The above patents have safety hazards when there is a large deformation difference, or use elastic concrete buffering methods, but the adaptation range of deformation is limited. SUMMARY
[0004] Based on the current situation of safety hazards or limited adaptation range of deformation in existing new and old bridge connection methods, the present application provides a new and old bridge buffering and limiting connection method and connection structure.

In the case of a small deflection difference, the structure deforms itself, and when the deflection difference reaches a certain step, the structure participates in the stress, ensuring the smoothness of the bridge surface and meeting the stress safety of the structure.
[0006] The purpose of the present application can be achieved by the following technical solutions:

According to the different technical characteristics of the new and old bridges, the rigid connecting piece reserved gap in the scheme of the application is more flexible and controllable than other splicing methods; firstly, the end reserved gap can completely release the settlement deformation of the new bridge and will not generate internal force effect due to settlement, and secondly, the reserved gap is set to be different according to the deformation amount, the reserved gap near the bridge span end is small, and the reserved gap near the bridge span middle is large, so that under the action of load, better stress and force transmission can be achieved.
