Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge technology, and in particular relates to an automated monitoring system and method for pre-stressing settlement of bridge full-span scaffolding. Background Technology
[0002] In bridge beam construction, the full-span scaffolding is erected in stages and preloaded in sections. To verify the reliability of the full-span scaffolding and eliminate its inelastic deformation, the actual deformation of the full-span scaffolding under different loads is measured so that the formwork elevation can be corrected in deflection control. The full-span scaffolding must be preloaded before pouring concrete after the scaffolding is erected.
[0003] Currently, commonly used preloading methods include the sandbag method, the steel reinforcement stacking method, and the water tank method. These methods involve hoisting sandbags, stacking steel reinforcement, or stacking a set of water tanks onto the bottom formwork of the full-span scaffold. Then, loading and unloading are gradually performed according to design requirements to eliminate inelastic deformation, and the elastic deformation of the full-span scaffold is measured. However, existing preloading settlement detection methods require highly skilled surveyors. Leveling operations are significantly affected by weather factors, and limitations imposed by control point layout and site topography result in cumbersome measurement procedures. Inaccurate monitoring data is frequently caused by improper operation by personnel transferring stations, holding leveling rods, and performing backsight operations, making them highly susceptible to human error. Summary of the Invention

[0023] An automated monitoring method for preloading settlement of bridge full-span scaffolding, used for any of the above, comprises the following steps:
[0024] The steps are as follows:
[0025] S1: Prepare for bridge construction based on ground conditions, treat the foundation for unfavorable geological conditions, pour the subbase, control the flatness of the subbase during pouring, and then cure the subbase until the subbase concrete reaches its strength requirements.

[0028] S4: By installing settlement monitoring sensors on the top and ground of the scaffolding, the deformation of the scaffolding top and ground settlement during the preloading and unloading processes are monitored throughout the entire process, as well as the deformation patterns of the scaffolding and ground during the concrete pouring of the beam.
[0029] Furthermore, the pre-compression test of the erected support structure was conducted using sandbag pre-compression and water bag pre-compression methods.

[0065] Example 2:
[0066] Please see Figures 4-9 As shown, based on the above embodiment 1, an automated monitoring method for preloading settlement of bridge scaffolding is disclosed, the steps of which are as follows:
[0067] Based on the ground conditions, prepare for the construction of the bridge. According to the actual edge position of the beam, widen it by 1m, mark the edge line of the preloading foundation, level the site and load the preloading foundation, treat the foundation for unfavorable geological conditions, and then pour the subbase. Control the flatness of the subbase during pouring, and then cure the subbase until the subbase concrete reaches its strength requirements.
[0068] Mark the perimeter of the scaffold to be erected, measure the horizontal and vertical spacing of the scaffold, and use ink lines to mark the unit grid for scaffold erection. Erect the scaffold according to the marked unit grid and vertical spacing.
[0069] The beam is a variable cross-section continuous box girder. The cast-in-place box girder in the conventional section is constructed using a full-span disc-lock scaffold, while the main pier top beam section is constructed using a scaffold erection. The design of the construction brackets, supports, or scaffolds should ensure the strength and rigidity of the structure and should have sufficient safety reserves.
[0070] Based on structural and construction requirements, excluding the main pier top beam segment and the cast-in-place side span segment, the cantilevered side span segment is divided into 6 cantilever cast-in-place segments and one side span closure segment (side span closure segment 2m, side span cast-in-place segment 3.92m, beam width 16.25m). (Reference) Figure 4 and Figure 5 Based on the actual conditions at the construction site, the cast-in-place box girder in the conventional section adopts the full-span disc-lock scaffolding construction method. The scaffolding is constructed using disc-lock steel pipe scaffolding (0.6×0.9m at the web on both sides of the main span, 0.9×0.9m at the box chamber, and 1.2×0.9m at the flange; 0.6×1.2m at the web, 0.9×1.2m at the box chamber, and 1.2×1.2m at the flange at the front and rear of the mid-span; 0.6×0.6m within 6 meters of the main pier crossbeam, and 1.2×0.6m at the flange). Please refer to this information. Figure 6 and Figure 7 ;
[0071] The erected scaffolding was pre-loaded using sandbags and water bags.
[0072] Most of the materials were pre-compressed with sandbags, while water bags were used for parts where hoisting was inconvenient. Each bag was weighed according to its standard weight, and the moisture content of the materials was tested. A 25t truck crane was used for hoisting.
[0073] Sandbags and water bags should be weighed individually, with a designated person responsible for weighing and recording the results. After weighing, the sandbags must be stored in place or during pre-compression, and waterproofing measures must be taken. In case of rain, they must be covered with tarpaulins.
[0074] During preloading, the moisture content of the materials inside the sandbags should be monitored, paying close attention to changes in moisture content to ensure the preloading weight meets requirements. Weather conditions should be closely monitored, and the sandbags should be covered with plastic sheeting before rain to prevent overloading due to waterlogging. Loading should be symmetrical to prevent uneven load distribution from causing the support structure to overturn. The preloading amount should be calculated based on the height of the sandbags, and the preloading load should be distributed as evenly as possible with the construction load. Preloading should be carried out in stages, stopping after 60%, 80%, and 100% loading for one day of continuous monitoring of support settlement and displacement. The next stage of load can only be applied after each stage of load application and monitoring is completed and no abnormalities are observed. After all loading is completed, continuous monitoring should be conducted on a daily basis. A cumulative average settlement of less than 5mm over three consecutive monitoring points indicates that the foundation has stabilized. Then, unload the load in reverse order according to the loading stages and re-measure the observation points. Readjust the bottom formwork and set the pre-camber (the basis for setting the pre-camber is the sum of the measured elastic deformation in the ballast test and the pre-camber value provided by the design. After calculating the pre-camber value at each point, adjust the bottom formwork elevation with the support top to make the box girder straight, smooth and beautiful).
[0075] The support structure is stacked from mid-span towards the piers, as follows: Figure 8 As shown in the figure below, the load is distributed symmetrically layer by layer, and the preload should preferably be uniformly distributed within each unit.
[0076] By installing settlement monitoring sensors on the top and ground of the scaffold, the deformation of the top of the scaffold and the ground settlement during the preloading and unloading process of the scaffold are monitored throughout the entire process, and the deformation pattern of the scaffold and the ground is monitored during the concrete pouring of the beam.
[0077] When deploying settlement monitoring sensors on the scaffolding, three monitoring points were selected: the two monitoring points on both sides were 3 meters away from the outer edge of the pier cap, and the middle monitoring point was 10.3 meters apart. The monitoring point at pier No. 36 was used as the reference monitoring point and was placed on the pier cap.
[0078] The settlement monitoring sensors are a combination of a hydrostatic level and a steel wire displacement meter. The hydrostatic level is a differential pressure hydrostatic level with model number JMYC-6210AD, and the steel wire displacement meter is an omnidirectional displacement meter with model number JDDL-4920AT.
[0079] Meanwhile, a precise static level is positioned at the bottom of the steel wire displacement gauge to monitor the vertical settlement of the ground relative to the foundation. The steel wire displacement gauge is used to measure the vertical deformation of the support, which is the relative height difference between the bottom of the formwork and the ground (e.g., ...). Figure 9 (As shown).
[0080] A remote automatic monitoring module connected to the settlement monitoring sensors (an existing device) is used to receive signals from the sensors, enabling automatic data acquisition, transmission, interpretation, and remote monitoring. The data acquisition frequency is set to 1 hour.
