Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge maintenance and inspection, and more particularly to a loading method suitable for static and dynamic load tests in old bridge sites. Background Art

[0002] The static and dynamic load test of a bridge is to apply static and dynamic loads to the designated locations of the bridge. By measuring the stress, strain, deflection, cracks, as well as the natural frequency, damping ratio, impact coefficient and other parameters of the bridge structure, the actual working performance and bearing capacity of the tested span structure under load can be understood, an overall evaluation of the bridge structure can be made, and the safety reserve or overload capacity of the structure can be grasped.

[0003] In order to understand the actual working status of bridge structures that have been in service for a period of time, it is necessary to conduct static and dynamic load tests on old bridges in order to explore the operational status, degree of damage, bearing capacity and remaining life of existing structures, and provide a basis and reference for bridge maintenance, reconstruction and reinforcement.

[0004] Conventional laboratories are mostly used to conduct scaled model tests. Due to limited space, it is difficult to conduct full-scale model tests. In addition, old bridges are often large in size, heavy in weight, and have structural damage, which makes them inconvenient to load and unload and transport. The transportation process may cause further damage to the structure, thereby interfering with the accuracy of the test results. Therefore, old bridge tests are more suitable for on-site testing at the demolition site.

[0005] At present, static and dynamic load tests of bridge structures are often carried out using steel structure reaction frames. The reaction frames are mainly composed of beams, columns, bases, etc. All components are assembled by welding or bolting. Conventional reaction frames are relatively fixed in shape, with poor applicability and mobility. They are also limited by the pedestals at both ends, making it difficult to place test specimens under the reaction frames. Summary of the Invention

[0022] By arranging the support assembly, the position of the test beam is limited when the test beam is hung on the movable platform, and the end side and bottom of the test beam are supported.

[0046] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides a loading method suitable for static and dynamic load tests in old bridge sites, comprising the following steps:

[0047] S1. Level the test site to ensure that the bearing capacity of the foundation meets the test requirements.

[0048] S2. Combination Figure 4 As shown, a pedestal foundation 1 and a reaction frame foundation 2 are cast in the test site. The upper surfaces of the pedestal foundation 1 and the reaction frame foundation 2 are flush with the ground. The pedestal foundation 1 is arranged corresponding to the two ends of the test beam 3, and the reaction frame foundation 2 is arranged corresponding to the middle of the test beam 3. Embedded parts 4 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper surface of the reaction frame foundation 2 in the length direction of the test beam 3 to facilitate the subsequent installation of other components. A through groove is opened in the middle of the upper surface of the pedestal foundation 1 and the reaction frame foundation 2 along the length direction of the test beam 3.

[0049] S3. Combination Figure 4As shown, track 5 is installed on the ground of the test site, passing through all grooves in sequence to form a reaction frame 6. The reaction frame 6 has a gate-shaped structure and ensures that the bearing capacity of the reaction frame 6 meets the test loading requirements. The length of track 5 is set long enough to allow the test beam 3 to move in and out from different directions. Corresponding grooves are opened in the ground of the non-pedestal foundation 1 and the reaction base foundation to facilitate the installation of track 5. Multiple parallel tracks can be set according to the site conditions and the width of the test beam. The grooves are set according to the track conditions to jointly support the piggyback transportation.

[0050] S4. Combination Figure 4-6 As shown, two mobile pedestals 7 are set on the track 5 at a distance corresponding to the pedestal foundation 1. The upper surface of the mobile pedestal 7 is symmetrically installed with embedded parts 4 on both sides of the length direction of the test beam 3, and a support assembly 8 for supporting the test beam 3 is connected through the embedded parts 4. A track transmission device 9 is provided at the bottom of the mobile pedestal 7. The track transmission device 9 is a similar structure such as a driving wheel. It only needs to be able to drive and walk on the track 5. A jacking support device 10 is provided on the track transmission device 9. The jacking support device 10 is a structure such as a jacking cylinder and a jack 12. The jacking range of the mobile pedestal 7 by the jacking support device 10 includes the height of the upper surface of the pedestal foundation 1. The test beam 3 is erected on the top of the two mobile pedestals 7. The test beam 3 is carried by the track transmission device 9, so that each mobile pedestal 7 travels to the top of a pedestal foundation 1, that is, moves to the test area.

[0051] S5. Combination Figure 7 As shown, the jacking support device 10 drives the movable pedestal 7 to descend so that the movable pedestal 7 is fully supported on the upper surface of the pedestal foundation 1. At this time, the test position of the test beam 3 is determined, and the reaction frame 6 is fixed. The reaction frame 6 is framed on the outer side of the middle part of the test beam 3, and the bottoms of both ends of the reaction frame 6 are respectively fixed to the reaction frame foundation 2 through embedded parts 4.

[0052] S6. Combination Figure 1 、 Figure 7 As shown, an upper pad 11, a jack 12, a pressure sensor 13, a distribution beam 14, and a lower pad 15 are installed downward in sequence between the upper bottom surface of the reaction frame 6 and the test beam body 3. The upper pad 11 is set between the jack 12 and the upper bottom surface of the reaction frame 6, and the lower pad 15 is set between the distribution beam 14 and the test beam body 3. The distribution beam 14 is set along the length direction of the test beam body 3. The bottom of the pressure sensor 13 is in contact with the upper surface of the distribution beam 14, and the load is applied downward to the test beam body 3 through the jack 12.

[0053] S7. Arrange the data acquisition system on the test beam 3, implement static and dynamic load tests, and test the mechanical properties of old bridges with different degrees of damage. Static and dynamic load tests are commonly used test items in this field. The specific process and equipment setting method will not be repeated here. The data acquisition system can use a conventional acquisition module sensor + display terminal. When conducting a dynamic load test, an exciting force is applied to the specimen. Under this excitation, the vibration signal generated by the specimen is captured by the acceleration sensor fixed on the surface of the beam and recorded by the data acquisition system. After modal analysis, the dynamic characteristics of the model under different damage conditions are determined. The test items include: the first three natural frequencies, damping ratio and vibration mode. Implement a static load test, test: load the test specimen step by step, and collect stress, strain, deflection, and crack test data at the same time until the specimen reaches the bearing capacity limit state, then terminate the loading.

[0054] S8. After the static and dynamic load tests corresponding to the current test beam 3 are completed, the jack 12 is unloaded, the data acquisition system is removed, and the test beam 3 is moved out of the test beam 3 via the mobile platform 7. The current mobile platform 7 is moved out of the current test beam 3, and the next pair of mobile platforms 7 are operated to connect to the next beam 3 to be tested, thereby improving test efficiency.

[0055] S9. Repeat steps S5-S8 until all test beams 3 are tested, dismantle the test instruments and equipment, and restore the site.

[0056] The loading method of the present invention, which is applicable to static and dynamic load tests in old bridge sites, is used to locate the test area by setting a pedestal foundation 1 and a reaction frame foundation 2 at the test site before conducting the static and dynamic load tests, and then setting a track 5 and a mobile pedestal 7 to carry the test beam 3 to the test area. The mobile pedestal 7 has the functions of carrying the test beam 3 and limiting the support of the beam in the static and dynamic load tests. After being carried into place, the reaction frame 6 is used to install the jack 12. The overall test site installation structure is small, the number of reaction frames 6 is small, the prefabrication degree is high, the small volume components are easy to transport, and the assembly is convenient. The installation process is simple and safe, the operation space is large, and repeated tests are convenient. After the loading test of a beam is completed, the current test beam 3 can be removed, and the new test piece can be replaced before the test can be repeated. The distribution beam 14, prestressed steel bundle and jack 12, and the connectors between the embedded parts 4 are disassembled and replaced with the new test beam 3 and connectors, and the test can be repeated. It has strong applicability and can meet the static and dynamic load test requirements of beams with various cross-sections such as T-shaped, I-shaped, and box-shaped by changing the position of the movable platform 7, reaction frame 6, jack 12, and distribution beam 14. This method combines dynamic load testing with static load testing, and can obtain static and dynamic load test results in sequence, or perform static and dynamic load tests alternately, so as to obtain the static response and dynamic response of the structure under different damage levels and meet diverse research needs.

[0057] In another technical solution, Figure 1 、3 As shown in FIG. 8 , the reaction frame 6 includes a pair of columns 19 and a crossbeam 21 connected between the tops of the pair of columns 19 , and the bottoms of the columns 19 are fixed to the reaction frame foundation 2 through the embedded parts 4 ;

[0058] After obtaining the reaction frame 6 in step S3, first fix the column 19 on the reaction frame foundation 2. After the test beam 3 moves with the mobile platform 7 to the position directly above the two platform foundations 1, install the crossbeam 21 between a pair of columns 19, and then install the distribution beam 14, the pressure sensor 13, and the jack 12 in step S6.

[0059] By setting the reaction frame 6 in a detachable connection form, the convenience of on-site installation and disassembly is improved. First, after fixing the column 19, when the mobile platform 7 carries the test beam 3 through the reaction frame 6, it plays a certain limiting role, which is conducive to adjusting the position and moving direction of the mobile platform 7. After the test beam 3 is moved into place, the crossbeam 21 of the reaction frame 6 is fixed. When the test beam 3 needs to be moved out, it can be directly moved out through the mobile platform 7, or the crossbeam 21 can be removed according to the status of the on-site construction site, and the tested beam 3 can be carried or lifted, or transferred to other construction sites for reuse, thereby reducing the installation and disassembly process.

[0060] In another technical solution, Figure 3 、 8 As shown, bolt holes 20 are respectively provided at both ends of the crossbeam 21 and the upper end of each column 19 , which pass through the length direction of the test beam body 3 . The crossbeam 21 and the columns 19 are connected by tightening bolts in the bolt holes 20 .

[0061] Before the test beam 3 is moved to the bottom of the reaction frame 6, the crossbeam 21 is rotated in the vertical plane around the bolt hole 20 of one of the columns 19. After the test beam 3 is moved into place, the crossbeam 21 is fastened to the top of the column 19 with bolts. By setting up the bolt connection, the crossbeam 21 can rotate around the column 19 when the bolts are loosened, which facilitates installation and removal and reduces the number of welding times.

[0062] In another technical solution, Figure 1-3As shown, two groups of embedded parts 4 are provided on the upper surface of the movable platform 7, wherein one group of embedded parts 4 is provided in the middle of the movable platform 7, and the other group of embedded parts 4 is symmetrically provided on the outer side of the middle of the movable platform 7. The support assembly 8 includes a support 16, a pair of diagonal braces 17, and a pair of web braces 18. The support 16 is connected to the embedded part 4 located in the middle, and the width of the support 16 is equal to the bottom width of the test beam 3. The bottom of the test beam 3 is placed on the upper surface of the support 16. The web brace 18 is used to be attached to the two side surfaces of the test beam 3. The lower end of the web brace 18 is connected to both sides of the support 16, the lower end of the diagonal brace 17 is fixedly connected to the embedded part 4 located on the outer side, and the upper end of the diagonal brace 17 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the web brace 18 on the corresponding side.

[0063] By providing the support assembly 8, the test beam 3 is limited in position when it is hoisted onto the mobile platform 7, and the end sides and bottom of the test beam 3 are supported. When the test beam 3 is placed on the two mobile platforms 7, the two support assemblies 8 align the limited test beam 3, quickly locking the position of the test beam 3 relative to the mobile platform 7, facilitating subsequent test operations and preventing the position of the test beam 3 from shifting during transportation. The position of the support assembly 8 can be replaced or adjusted according to the different cross-sectional forms of the beam.

[0064] In another technical solution, Figure 4-6 As shown, a flexible connector 33 is provided between the two movable platforms 7. The maximum extension length of the flexible connector 33 is greater than the length of the test beam 3. When the two movable platforms 7 are installed on the track 5, the flexible connector 33 is used for protection so that the spacing between the movable platforms 7 does not exceed the limit.

[0065] By providing a flexible connection between the movable bases 7, a protective effect is achieved, thereby improving safety during installation and transportation.

[0066] In another technical solution, Figure 8 As shown, a pair of auxiliary positioning forks 22 are provided in the middle of a pair of uprights 19 of the reaction frame 6 in the direction toward the test beam 3. A guide hole 23 is respectively opened on the uprights 19 along the length direction parallel to the crossbeam 21. The cross section of the guide hole 23 is circular. After the mobile platform 7 carries the test beam 3 to the test area, the pair of auxiliary positioning forks 22 are used to obtain the verticality of the current test beam 3 relative to the reaction frame 6. The auxiliary positioning forks 22 include:

[0067] A crossbar 24 is provided horizontally through the guide hole 23. A stopper 31 is provided at one end of the crossbar 24 facing the test beam 3. The size of the stopper 31 is larger than the diameter of the guide hole 23. A sliding groove 25 is provided along the length direction of the side wall of the crossbar 24 at the upper part of the end close to the test beam 3. The end of the crossbar 24 away from the test beam 3 passes through the corresponding column 19 and is threadedly connected to a nut plate 26. The side of the nut plate 26 facing the test beam 3 is used to abut against the corresponding surface of the column 19.

[0068] The lower limit rod 27 is a horizontal L-shaped rod. The shorter end of the lower limit rod 27 is arranged along the radial direction of the cross bar 24 and connected to the bottom of the stopper 31. The longer end of the lower limit rod 27 is arranged toward the test beam 3 and is connected to a lower pressure sensor 29 at the end. The lower pressure sensor 29 is used to contact the outer side of the belly of the test beam 3.

[0069] An upper limit rod 28 is a horizontally arranged L-shaped rod. The upper limit rod 28 and the lower limit rod 27 are arranged opposite each other and are located in the same radial plane of the cross bar 24. The shorter end of the upper limit rod 28 extends into the slide groove 25 and is slidably connected to the slide groove 25. A weldment 32 is further provided between the shorter end of the upper limit rod 28 and the cross bar 24. The longer end of the upper limit rod 28 is arranged toward the test beam 3 and is connected to an upper pressure sensor 30 at the end. The upper pressure sensor 30 is used to contact the outer side of the belly of the test beam 3;

[0070] According to the cross-sectional shape and size of the current test beam 3, the upper limit rod 28 is slid along the slide groove 25 so that the relative positions of the outer ends of the upper pressure sensor 30 and the lower pressure sensor 29 match the test beam 3, and then the upper limit rod 28 is fixed by the welding piece 32. Then, a pair of auxiliary adjustment forks 22 are respectively passed through the guide holes 23 from the inside, so that the spacing between the pair of auxiliary adjustment forks 22 is greater than the cross-sectional width of the belly of the test beam 3. When the test beam 3 arrives above the pedestal foundation 1 and the reaction frame foundation 2 with the moving pedestal 7, the pair of auxiliary adjustment forks 22 are driven to move synchronously toward each other, so that the auxiliary adjustment forks 22 are 2 is exactly consistent with the width of the corresponding position of the test beam 3. During this process, the lower pressure sensors 29 and the upper pressure sensors 30 on both sides monitor the pressure data in real time. At the same time, the position of the test beam 3 is fine-tuned until the central axis of the test beam 3 in the length direction is consistent with the central axis of the pedestal foundation 1 and the reaction frame foundation 2, and the pressure data of the lower pressure sensors 29 on both sides are consistent, and the pressure data of the upper pressure sensors 30 on both sides are consistent. Finally, the jacking support device 10 is retracted and lowered until the test beam 3 completely falls on the pedestal foundation 1 and the reaction frame foundation 2.

[0071] By setting a pair of auxiliary adjustment harpoons, the position of the test beam 3 can be fine-tuned after the test beam 3 reaches the test area, so as to avoid torque and other conditions in the subsequent static and dynamic load tests. The auxiliary adjustment harpoons have a simple structure and are easy to install and disassemble. An external thread is set on the surface of the end of the cross bar 24 away from the test beam 3. The cross bar 24 can be temporarily fixed by screwing the nut plate 26 on the outside of the column 19 onto the cross bar 24. The cross bar 24 moves axially along the guide hole 23 and can be adjusted to the position of the outer end of the upper limit rod 28 and the lower limit rod 27, which is convenient for installation and can It can adapt to beams of different cross-sectional shapes. Since the cross-sections of the guide hole 23 and the crossbar 24 are set to be circular, the crossbar 24 can also rotate relative to the guide hole 23, further improving the adaptability of the auxiliary positioning harpoon to different shapes and positions. The guide hole 23 can be adjusted to the height on the column 19 according to the required position, or multiple holes can be set at intervals along the length of the column 19. When the data of the upper pressure sensor 30 and the lower pressure sensor 29 at the same level on the left and right are equal, it indicates that the test beam 3 is in a good test state. The two ends of the test beam 3 are supported by the support assembly 8, and the auxiliary positioning harpoon structure is set on the reaction frame foundation 2 and the reaction frame 6 in the middle, which reduces the adjustment range of the test beam 3 and is also conducive to mastering the force balance state of the test beam 3.
