[0002] my country has a vast territory and diverse terrain, and bridges are vital transportation hubs connecting the entire country. Bridge piers, as the main load-bearing structures, are susceptible to localized damage and destruction. Demolishing and rebuilding piers damaged by earthquakes, impacts, mudslides, etc., incurs significant costs and is difficult to restore traffic in a short time, potentially causing severe traffic disruptions and resulting in substantial social waste. Therefore, the reinforcement and repair of damaged bridge piers is crucial for bridge engineering.

[0003] Currently, the main methods for strengthening and repairing reinforced concrete bridges in my country include cross-section enlargement, external prestressing, and steel sleeve reinforcement. However, these methods are complex in structure, involve a large workload, and are difficult to implement. Furthermore, they are not suitable for repairing and strengthening severely damaged piers, or the stress and disaster resistance performance of the piers after repair and reinforcement may not be restored to a high level.

[0004] Therefore, there is currently a lack of a construction method for rapid replacement of bridge pier segments based on steel-concrete composite connections that is convenient to construct, has a short construction period, strong versatility, good economy, good load-bearing capacity and excellent disaster resistance, and is suitable for the replacement of segments of damaged reinforced concrete bridge piers. Summary of the Invention

The method is simple in steps, reasonable in design, convenient in construction, short in construction period, highly versatile and economical. It connects the steel-concrete composite pipe replacement segments with the existing upper and lower segments of the bridge pier, and has good bearing capacity and excellent disaster resistance, making it suitable for segment replacement of damaged reinforced concrete bridge piers.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a construction method for rapid replacement of bridge pier segments based on steel-concrete composite pipe connections, characterized in that the method includes the following steps:

[0007] Step 1: Replacement of precast steel pipe concrete segments:

[0008] Step 101: Weld a steel pipe to the inner side of the upper end of the replaced steel pipe section for patching, and weld a lower steel pipe to the inner side of the lower end of the replaced steel pipe section for patching.

[0009] Step 102: Pour concrete into the replacement segment steel pipe to form the replacement segment concrete, thus forming the steel pipe concrete replacement segment; wherein, the replacement segment concrete includes the intermediate segment concrete precast in the replacement segment steel pipe, the lower segment concrete integrally formed with the intermediate segment concrete, and the upper segment concrete.

[0010] Step 2: Removal of damaged sections of existing bridge piers and installation of jack supports:

[0011] Step 201: Install a support frame on the existing bridge pier abutment and install a jack device between the support frame and the cap beam;

[0012] Step 202: Remove the concrete of the damaged segment of the existing pier, and use a cutting instrument to cut off the longitudinal reinforcement of the damaged segment of the existing pier, and remove the stirrups of the damaged segment of the existing pier to form the upper segment and the lower segment of the existing pier; wherein, the jack device supports the upper segment of the existing pier to create a gap between the upper segment and the lower segment of the existing pier.

[0013] Step 3: Installation of the lower splicing steel pipes and injection of micro-expansion grout:

[0014] Step 301: Remove the surface of the concrete at the top of the lower segment of the existing pier to expose the outer wall of the lower longitudinal reinforcement. The top of the lower segment of the existing pier after removal is the convex part of the lower segment. The cross section of the convex part of the lower segment gradually decreases from bottom to top.

[0015] Step 302: Install a lower splicing steel pipe on the outer sleeve of the lower longitudinal reinforcement; wherein, the inner side of the lower splicing steel pipe is welded to the outer wall of the lower longitudinal reinforcement;

[0016] Step 303: Inject micro-expansion grout into the lower splicing steel pipe;

[0017] Step 4: Installation of the upper splicing steel pipes:

[0018] Step 401: Remove the lower outer circumferential concrete of the upper segment of the existing bridge pier to expose the outer wall of the upper longitudinal reinforcement, and the bottom of the upper segment of the existing bridge pier after removal is the convex part of the upper segment.

[0020] Step 5: Hoisting of the precast steel pipe concrete replacement segment:

[0021] Step 501: Hoist and place the precast steel-concrete replacement segment between the upper segment and the lower segment of the existing pier.

[0022] Step 502: Lower the steel pipe concrete replacement segment. Insert the lower end of the lower steel pipe into the upper end of the lower splicing steel pipe, and the bottom of the lower segment concrete extends into the lower splicing steel pipe. At the same time, insert the upper end of the upper steel pipe into the lower end of the upper splicing steel pipe, and the top of the upper segment concrete extends into the upper splicing steel pipe.

[0023] Step 503: Adjust the verticality of the steel pipe concrete replacement segment.

At the same time, squeeze out the excess micro-expansion grout from the lower splicing steel pipe.

[0024] Step 504: Use an electric welding machine to weld and fix the upper end of the lower splicing steel pipe and the lower end of the lower steel pipe patch, and weld and fix the inner lower end of the upper splicing steel pipe and the outer upper end of the upper steel pipe patch.

[0025] Step 6: Inject micro-expansion grout at the joint of the steel pipe;

[0026] Step 7: Reinforce the outer surface of the steel-concrete composite replacement segment:

[0030] In step 102, the lower and upper concrete segments are symmetrically arranged and their cross-sections gradually decrease away from the middle concrete segment. The lower concrete segment extends out of the lower steel pipe to fill the gap, and the upper concrete segment extends out of the upper steel pipe to fill the gap.

[0031] The above-mentioned method for rapid replacement of bridge pier segments based on steel-concrete composite pipe connections is characterized by: injecting micro-expansion grout at the upper splicing steel pipe in step six, the specific process of which is as follows:

[0032] Step 601: On both sides of the upper segment of the existing bridge pier, and in the area adjacent to the upper splicing steel pipe, drill grouting holes and grout outlet holes with a diameter of 16mm; wherein, the grouting holes and grout outlet holes are connected to the gap between the inner side of the upper splicing steel pipe and the protrusion of the upper segment and the outer side of the upper segment concrete.

[0033] Step 602: Inject micro-expansion grout into the gap between the upper segment of the existing pier and the steel-concrete composite replacement segment through the grouting hole until micro-expansion grout flows out of the grout outlet on the upper segment of the existing pier. Wait 3 to 5 minutes and then stop grouting to ensure that the micro-expansion grout fills the gap between the upper segment of the existing pier and the steel-concrete composite replacement segment.

[0034] Step 603: Treat the surface of the steel-concrete composite replacement segment to remove residual micro-expansion grout and concrete particles from the surface of the steel-concrete composite replacement segment.

3. The construction method for rapid replacement of bridge pier segments based on steel-concrete composite pipe connections according to claim 1, characterized in that: In step six, micro-expansion grout is injected at the joint of the steel pipe. The specific process is as follows: Step 601: On both sides of the upper segment (13) of the existing bridge pier and adjacent to the upper splicing steel pipe (12), drill grouting holes (14) and grout outlet holes (15) with a diameter of 16mm; wherein, the grouting holes (14) and grout outlet holes (15) are connected to the gap between the inner side of the upper splicing steel pipe (12) and the upper segment protrusion (13-1) and the outer side of the upper segment concrete (6-3); Step 602: Inject micro-expansion grout (20) into the gap between the existing pier upper segment (13) and the steel-concrete replacement segment (2) through the grouting hole (14) until micro-expansion grout flows out of the grout outlet (15) on the existing pier upper segment (13). Wait 3 to 5 minutes and then stop grouting to ensure that the micro-expansion grout (20) fills the gap between the existing pier upper segment (13) and the steel-concrete replacement segment (2). Step 603: Treat the surface of the steel-concrete replacement segment (2) to remove residual micro-expansion grout and concrete particles from the surface of the steel-concrete replacement segment (2).
