Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of overall lifting construction of arch ribs in bridge engineering, specifically to the calculation method and system for elastic deformation of arch foot during the overall lifting construction of arch ribs. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction process of arch ribs for arch bridges, the integral lifting construction method involves using lifting supports to raise the assembled arch ribs to the closing position via vertical cables, followed by welding. Compared to the cable-stayed segmental assembly method, the integral lifting method avoids the oblique hook-and-loop assembly of arch rib segments, better ensuring the arch alignment and offering faster construction speed. However, during the integral lifting construction of long-span arch bridges, due to the significant weight of the arch ribs and their less favorable stress state compared to the completed bridge stage, the arch feet may experience substantial horizontal displacement, severely affecting the closing accuracy of the arch ribs. Therefore, the key technology in integral lifting construction lies in controlling the horizontal displacement of the arch feet. Currently, a relatively effective method for controlling the horizontal displacement of the arch feet is to apply pre-tension to the arch feet using transverse cables to counteract the horizontal thrust generated by the arch ribs under their own weight. However, due to the impossibility of achieving absolute precision in actual construction, the arch rib inevitably experiences an initial horizontal displacement of the arch foot the instant it is lifted by the vertical cables. At this moment, the vertical cables will have a certain inclination angle, generating a horizontal component force acting on the arch foot. When the self-weight of the lifted arch rib is large, the influence of this horizontal component force becomes significant. Since this horizontal component force originates from the horizontal displacement of the arch foot but also tends to reduce the horizontal displacement of the arch foot, it has a coupled relationship with the arch foot displacement. However, as the lifting height increases, the length of the vertical cables will decrease, resulting in a larger inclination angle of the vertical cables and a corresponding increase in the horizontal component force, which in turn reduces the arch foot displacement. Therefore, at different lifting heights, the vertical cables and the arch rib are in different coupled equilibrium states. In fact, since the upper end of the vertical cables is connected to the support frame, and the arch foot is subjected to the pre-tension of the transverse cables, both the horizontal stiffness of the support frame and the transverse cables will participate in influencing the coupled equilibrium relationship between the vertical cables and the arch rib.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0053] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0054] Example 1
[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the forces acting on the arch rib at different lifting heights during the overall lifting process. G is the self-weight of the arch rib (for convenience, the self-weight of the arch rib is represented in the form of a concentrated force), and T is the pre-tension force provided by the transverse cable to the arch foot. After the arch rib is lifted, the vertical cable becomes shorter, the inclination angle of the vertical cable changes from θ1 to θ2, and the tension of the vertical cable also changes from T1 to T2.
[0056] In this embodiment, Figure 1 If the arch ribs and transverse cables are considered as an independent system, then the structural force diagram of this system is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in the figure. Here, represents the horizontal component of the vertical cable force, and G is the self-weight of the arch rib. Then, based on the relationship between the force on the arch rib and the displacement of the arch foot, an equivalent force model is constructed.
[0057] Depend on Figure 3 The structural force equivalence shown can be used to... Figure 1 The arch rib and transverse cable force system in the middle is simplified as follows: Figure 4 The mechanical model shown is as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal displacement of one arch foot of the arch rib is x, and the length of the vertical cable is approximately L. Then, the horizontal component T of the vertical cable on the arch rib is...x for:
[0058]
[0059] Considering that the vertical cables only exert a horizontal component force on the arch rib when the arch foot undergoes horizontal displacement, a property similar to that of a spring, we consider using a spring to represent the horizontal force exerted by the vertical cables on the arch rib.
[0060] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 4 T in the mechanical model x If we consider it as an equivalent spring force, then the spring stiffness K is defined as:
[0061]
[0062] Then we have:
[0063] T x =K·x.
[0064] Next, the elastic deformation of the arch foot is calculated based on the above model. Figure 6 Based on the equivalent mechanical model shown, the mechanical relationships during the overall lifting process of the arch rib are derived.
[0065] like Figure 7 As shown, the displacement of the arch foot of the arch structure under its own weight G and external load F is x. 1p Considering the horizontal component of the vertical cable force, the pre-tension of the transverse cable, and the additional force generated by the elongation of the transverse cable due to the displacement of the arch foot during the overall lifting of the arch rib, we have:
[0066] F = F0 + T + T l
[0067] Where F represents the external load; F0 represents the horizontal component of the vertical cable force; T is the preload of the transverse cable; T l This refers to the additional force generated after the transverse cable elongates.
[0068] If the horizontal displacement of the upper end of the vertical cable is x0, the horizontal displacement of the lower end of the vertical cable is x1, and the length of the vertical cable is L, then the vertical cable has the following force equilibrium relationship:
[0069]
[0070] Considering that the upper end of the vertical cable is connected to the support, and the horizontal stiffness of the support is K1, then x0 can be expressed as:
[0071]
[0072] Given that the horizontal displacement x1 at the lower end of the vertical cable is the displacement of the arch foot on one side, x1 can be expressed as:
[0073]
[0074] Finally, F0 is represented as... 1p Relationship:
[0075]
[0076]
[0077] Due to T l The magnitude depends on the elongation of the transverse cables, which in turn depends on the horizontal displacement of the arch foot, and therefore can also be expressed as x. 1p Relationship:
[0078]
[0079] In the formula, E l Indicates the elastic modulus of the transverse cable; A l L0 represents the cross-sectional area of the transverse cable; L0 represents the length of the transverse cable.
[0080] Therefore, the external load F on the arch structure can be expressed as:
[0081]
[0082] Finally, according to Figure 8 (a) The basic structure, using the basic knowledge of structural mechanics to solve... Figure 7 Displacement x of the arch foot of the central arch structure 1p :
[0083]
[0084] In the formula, M p F represents the bending moment at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under the action of an external force; Np M1 represents the axial force at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under the action of an external force; M2 represents the bending moment at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under the action of a unit force; F represents the bending moment at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under the action of a unit force. N1 The axial force at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under a unit force; E represents the elastic modulus of the arch structure material; I represents the moment of inertia of the arch structure section; A represents the cross-sectional area of the arch structure.
[0085] according to Figure 8 As shown in (b), under the action of external force, the bending moment at point (x, y) on the arch rib is:
[0086]
[0087] according to Figure 8 As shown in (b), under the action of external forces, the axial force at point (x, y) on the arch rib is:
[0088]
[0089] according to Figure 8 As shown in (c), under the action of a unit force, the bending moment at point (x, y) on the arch rib is:
[0090] M1 = -y
[0091] according to Figure 8 As shown in (c), under the action of a unit force, the axial force at point (x, y) on the arch rib is:
[0092]
[0093] Then we have:
[0094]
[0095] make:
[0096]
[0097]
[0098] Then we have:
[0099]
[0100]
[0101] The values of F0, x0, and x1 can be obtained accordingly, and the elastic deformation calculation of the arch foot can be completed.
[0102] Example 2
[0103] like Figure 9 The diagram shown illustrates the system structure of this embodiment, including an analysis module, a construction module, and a calculation module. The analysis module is used to obtain the relationship between the force on the arch rib and the displacement of the arch foot based on the force characteristics during the overall lifting process of the arch rib. The construction module is used to construct an equivalent force model based on the relationship between the force on the arch rib and the displacement of the arch foot. The calculation module calculates the elastic deformation of the arch foot based on the equivalent force model. The calculation module includes a vertical cable calculation unit, a horizontal cable calculation unit, and an external load calculation unit.
[0104] The following will, in conjunction with this embodiment, explain in detail how this application solves technical problems in real life.
[0105] First, the force analysis of the arch rib is performed using the analysis module, such as... Figure 1As shown, this is a schematic diagram of the forces acting on the arch rib at different lifting heights during the overall lifting process. G is the self-weight of the arch rib (for convenience, the self-weight of the arch rib is represented in the form of a concentrated force), and T is the pre-tension force provided by the transverse cable to the arch foot. After the arch rib is lifted, the vertical cable becomes shorter, the inclination angle of the vertical cable changes from θ1 to θ2, and the tension of the vertical cable also changes from T1 to T2.
[0106] In this embodiment, Figure 1 If the arch ribs and transverse cables are considered as an independent system, then the structural force diagram of this system is as follows: Figure 2 As shown. Here, G represents the horizontal component of the vertical cable force, and G is the self-weight of the arch rib. Then, using the building module, an equivalent force model is constructed based on the relationship between the force on the arch rib and the displacement of the arch foot. The workflow is as follows:
[0107] Depend on Figure 3 The structural force equivalence shown can be used to... Figure 1 The arch rib and transverse cable force system in the middle is simplified as follows: Figure 4 The mechanical model shown is as follows. Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal displacement of one arch foot of the arch rib is x, and the length of the vertical cable is approximately L. Then, the horizontal component T of the vertical cable on the arch rib is... x for:
[0108]
[0109] Considering that the vertical cables only exert a horizontal component force on the arch rib when the arch foot undergoes horizontal displacement, a property similar to that of a spring, we consider using a spring to represent the horizontal force exerted by the vertical cables on the arch rib.
[0110] like Figure 6 As shown, Figure 4 T in the mechanical model x If we consider it as an equivalent spring force, then the spring stiffness K is defined as:
[0111]

[0116] F = F0 + T + T l
[0117] Where F represents the external load; F0 represents the horizontal component of the vertical cable force; T is the preload of the transverse cable; T l This refers to the additional force generated after the transverse cable elongates.
[0118] If the horizontal displacement of the upper end of the vertical cable is x0, the horizontal displacement of the lower end of the vertical cable is x1, and the length of the vertical cable is L, calculate the following force equilibrium relationship using the vertical cable calculation unit:
[0119]
[0120] Considering that the upper end of the vertical cable is connected to the support, and the horizontal stiffness of the support is K1, then x0 can be expressed as:
[0121]
[0122] Given that the horizontal displacement x1 at the lower end of the vertical cable is the displacement of the arch foot on one side, x1 can be expressed as:
[0123]
[0124] Finally, F0 is represented as... 1p Relationship:
[0125]
[0126]
[0127] Due to T l The size depends on the elongation of the transverse cables, which in turn depends on the horizontal displacement of the arch foot. Therefore, T is calculated using the transverse cable calculation unit. l Regarding x 1p Relationship:
[0128]
[0129] In the formula, E l Indicates the elastic modulus of the transverse cable; A l L0 represents the cross-sectional area of the transverse cable; L0 represents the length of the transverse cable.
[0130] Finally, the external load F on the arch structure is calculated using the external load calculation unit:
[0131]
[0132] Finally, according to Figure 8 (a) The basic structure, using the basic knowledge of structural mechanics to solve... Figure 7 Displacement x of the arch foot of the central arch structure 1p :
[0133]
[0134] In the formula, M p F represents the bending moment at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under the action of an external force; Np M1 represents the axial force at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under the action of an external force; M2 represents the bending moment at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under the action of a unit force; F represents the bending moment at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under the action of a unit force. N1 The axial force at a point (x, y) on the basic structure under a unit force; E represents the elastic modulus of the arch structure material; I represents the moment of inertia of the arch structure section; A represents the cross-sectional area of the arch structure.
[0135] according to Figure 8 As shown in (b), under the action of external force, the bending moment at point (x, y) on the arch rib is:
[0136]
[0137] according to Figure 8 As shown in (b), under the action of external forces, the axial force at point (x, y) on the arch rib is:
