Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge construction technology and relates to the installation of steel beams for cross-river steel structure bridges, specifically to a method for lateral lifting and horizontal transverse movement of steel beams. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 As shown, during the installation of steel beams for a cross-river steel structure bridge, in order to improve construction efficiency, the entire span of the steel beam is usually divided into three large segments, including a mid-span segment 101 and two side-span segments 102. Two steel beam assembly supports 103 are erected in the water. The mid-span segment 101 is erected on the two supports, and the two side-span segments are erected on the piers 100 on both banks and on the supports 103 near the piers. Then, the mid-span segment and the side-span segments are welded on the supports to complete the installation of the steel beam.

[0003] Currently, during steel beam installation, the two side spans are typically erected on the shore using truck cranes. However, the mid-span, being farther from the shore, requires the construction of a beam transport trestle bridge (104) in the water. A crane positioning platform or a submersible tower crane also needs to be erected in the water. A beam transport vehicle carries the mid-span to the trestle bridge, where a submersible crane lifts it onto the two supports. The construction costs of submersible crane platforms and tower cranes are high, and the safety of operating large cranes on water is relatively low. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the above-mentioned problems by providing a method for the lateral lifting and horizontal transverse installation of steel beams in cross-river steel structure bridges. This method mainly solves the installation difficulties in the mid-span section, thereby reducing construction costs and improving construction safety.

[0025] The specific construction method of this invention is as follows:

[0026] (1) Press Figure 1 The steel beam segmentation method shown divides the entire span into three large segments, including a mid-span segment 101 and two side-span segments 102. A trestle bridge 104 is erected on one side of the bridge site in the water as a beam transport channel. This step is the same as the conventional construction method.

[0027] (2) Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4As shown in the drawings, two sets of steel beam assembling supports are arranged along the bridge position in water, and the distance between the two sets of steel beam assembling supports is appropriately set according to the length of the midspan section of the steel beam. Unlike the traditional steel beam assembling support, the present application divides each set of steel beam assembling support into two parts, a beam falling support 1 and a sliding support 2. Each set of steel beam assembling support includes three rows of steel pipe piles arranged in the transverse direction of the bridge, and the adjacent steel pipe piles are connected by horizontal ties and diagonal braces. The row of steel pipe piles closer to the midspan is the beam falling support steel pipe pile 11, and the load-bearing beam 12 is arranged on the beam falling support steel pipe pile to form the beam falling support 1. The height of the beam falling support is consistent with the assembly height of the steel beam. The row of steel pipe piles closer to the shore and the middle row of steel pipe piles are the sliding support steel pipe piles 21, and the height of the sliding support steel pipe piles 21 is higher than that of the beam falling support steel pipe piles 11. Track beams 22 are arranged on the two rows of sliding support steel pipe piles, respectively, and sliding rails 23 are arranged on the track beams to form the sliding support 2. One end of the track beam 22 of the sliding support extends above the trestle 104, which facilitates lifting the steel beam from the trestle. Diagonal braces 24 can be welded between the front end of the track beam 22 and the sliding support steel pipe pile 21 to prevent the track beam from deflecting when bearing load.

[0028] Referring to Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As shown in the drawings, a trolley 3 is arranged on the sliding support 2 of each set of steel beam assembling support to slide along the two sliding rails. A through jack 4 is vertically arranged on each trolley 3, and a lifting rod 5 is arranged through the jack 4. A jacking oil cylinder 6 is arranged on each sliding rail, and one end of the jacking oil cylinder 6 is connected with the sliding rail 23 through a rail clamp 7, and the other end is connected with the trolley through a pin shaft. The jacking oil cylinder 6 can push or pull the trolley to move along the sliding rail. When the oil cylinder is jacked, the rail clamp 7 is clamped with the sliding rail. After each stroke of the rail clamp 7, the rail clamp 7 is clamped with the sliding rail again, and the oil cylinder starts the next stroke. The cycle is repeated until the trolley is jacked or pulled to the designated position.

[0029] As shown in the drawings, Figure 5 、 Figure 6 、 Figure 7 As a specific embodiment of the present application, the trolley 3 includes two longitudinal beams 31 arranged in the longitudinal direction of the bridge, and two pulleys 32 are arranged on the bottom of each longitudinal beam to slide along the two sliding rails. Two cross beams 33 are welded on the two longitudinal beams, and the jack 4 is arranged on the cross beam 33 closer to the midspan.

[0030] In the embodiment of the present application, the track beam 22 on the sliding support can adopt double-spliced I-beams, and the slide rails 23 are welded on the top surface of the flange plate of the track beam in the transverse bridge direction. Since the jack is arranged on one side of the trolley, in order to avoid the trolley from overturning due to uneven force when the jack lifts the steel beam, an L-shaped limiting rod 34 can be arranged on the bottom of each longitudinal beam of the trolley towards the end of the side span, the upper end of the limiting rod 34 is welded with the bottom of the longitudinal beam 31, and the lower end of the limiting rod 34 extends below the upper flange plate of the track beam 22, the lower end of the L-shaped limiting rod functions as a hook, when the trolley lifts the steel beam, the lower end of the limiting rod is clamped on the bottom surface of the upper flange plate of the track beam, which can prevent the trolley from overturning.

[0031] Further, as shown in Figure 5 , a guide wheel 35 can be arranged on the top surface of the part where the limiting rod 34 extends below the upper flange plate of the track beam 22, when the trolley slides along the guide rail, the guide wheel 35 can slide along the lower flange plate of the track beam, which reduces the friction between the limiting rod and the bottom surface of the upper flange plate of the track beam.

[0032] (3) As shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9 , and referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the steel beam 101 of the mid-span section is transported to the trestle 104 by the beam transport vehicle, the trolley 3 on the two sliding supports is moved above the trestle by the pushing oil cylinder, the lower ends of the two hangers 5 are connected with the two ends of the steel beam 101 of the mid-span section respectively, the jack 4 is started to lift the hanger 5, the steel beam 101 is lifted to be higher than the beam lowering support 1, then the trolley 3 is moved to the position above the steel beam installation position along the slide rail by the pushing oil cylinder 6, and the two ends of the steel beam are lowered to the two beam lowering supports 1 by controlling the jack, thereby completing the erection of the steel beam 101 of the mid-span section.

[0033] (4) As shown in Figure 10 , the trolley is returned to the trestle by the pushing oil cylinder, and the step (3) is repeated, so that the steel beam 101 of each mid-span section is lifted to the beam lowering support 1 in sequence.

[0034] (5) As shown in Figure 11 , after all the steel beams of the mid-span section are hoisted in place, the trolley, the slide rail and the track beam on the sliding support are removed, and the part of the sliding support steel pipe pile 21 which is higher than the beam lowering support steel pipe pile 11 is removed, the load-bearing beam is arranged on the sliding support steel pipe pile 21 after the height is reduced, which is used as the beam lowering support of the side span section, and the steel beam 102 of the side span section is hoisted by the truck crane.

[0035] In the embodiment of the present application, the sliding support steel pipe pile 21 can adopt an integral steel pipe pile, after the trolley and the track beam on the sliding support are removed, the part of the sliding support steel pipe pile which is higher than the beam lowering support steel pipe pile can be directly cut off, and the load-bearing beam is arranged on the steel pipe pile after the height is reduced, which is used for erecting the steel beam of the side span section.

[0036] As shown in Figure 2As shown in the middle, in order to improve the reuse rate of the steel pipe pile, the sliding support steel pipe pile 21 can also adopt a combined structure, including two segments, the height of the lower segment 211 is equal to the height of the beam support steel pipe pile 11, and the upper segment 212 is connected with the lower segment through the flange 213. After the trolley and the track beam on the sliding support are removed, the upper segment of each row of sliding support steel pipe piles is removed, and the load-bearing beam is erected on the lower segment to support the erection of the side span segment steel beam.
