Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of road and bridge construction. More specifically, the present invention relates to a rapid underpinning system for sound barrier columns in renovation and expansion projects; the present invention also relates to a construction method for the rapid underpinning system. Background Art

[0002] During the construction of the double-deck bridge renovation and expansion, a prefabricated, hoisted process was employed. However, due to the impact of the sound barrier, the cap beam could not be transported and rotated due to the presence of the barrier columns. The columns obstructed the transport and rotation of the cap beam. To address this, the conventional method was to remove the sound barrier, transport the cap beam, rotate it, and then re-erect the barrier. However, this approach involved a significant workload, high safety risks, difficulty maintaining traffic flow, and a long construction period. Furthermore, the prolonged traffic closures required significantly restricted traffic on the existing line. Expediting the transport and rotation of the cap beam became a key issue.

[0003] During the construction of the double-deck bridge deck beam, the following technical difficulties occurred:

[0004] 1. Limited working space: The double-deck bridge of the renovation and expansion project is on the same line as the existing highway and is partially located within the sound barrier, resulting in limited construction space in both the plane and elevation.

[0005] 2. High requirements for traffic maintenance: The existing line is an important link for the regional national trunk highway. The implementation of the double-deck bridge reconstruction and expansion project in this area must be carried out under the conditions of bearing large traffic volume without interrupting traffic or with extremely short interruptions. The removal of conventional sound barriers has a great impact on traffic and takes a long time.

[0006] 3. High construction difficulty: The sound barrier columns are large and span the existing line. When transporting and placing the double-deck bridge cover beams of the renovation and expansion project, they are affected by the sound barrier columns and cannot be rotated horizontally, resulting in many construction interferences and high difficulty.

[0007] 4. High security risks:

[0008] Due to the above conditions, the traditional sound barrier removal construction technology greatly restricts traffic during the transportation and transfer of the cap beam, making it difficult to achieve the goal of safe and fast construction. Summary of the Invention

[0012] The supporting legs include supporting leg No. 1, supporting leg No. 2, supporting leg No. 3 and supporting leg No. 4, and are distributed in sequence from front to rear in the forward direction of the cap beam.

[0013] The lower end of the sound barrier column is connected to the longitudinal beam through a pad.

[0014] A jack is provided between the lower end of the sound barrier column and the longitudinal beam.

[0018] 2) After the original obstructed sound barrier column is removed, the rapid support system is stressed, the No. 4 support leg returns to its original position, and the No. 3 support leg is raised;

[0019] 3) When the cap beam is transferred to between the No. 2 outrigger and the No. 3 outrigger, adjust the outrigger status, return the No. 3 outrigger to its original position, and lift the No. 2 outrigger;

[0020] 4) When the cap beam is transferred to between the No. 1 support leg and the No. 2 support leg, adjust the support leg status again and return the No. 2 support leg to its original position;

[0022] 6) Restore the sound barrier columns, transfer the force to the sound barrier columns, and remove the rapid support system.

[0023] In the above 1), at this time, the main forces on the rapid support system are the No. 1 support leg, the No. 2 support leg and the No. 3 support leg, which cut and remove the part of the original sound barrier column to be dismantled; the cap beam is transported and rotated to enter the support area.

[0024] In the above 2), at this time, the main forces acting on the rapid support system are the No. 1 support leg, the No. 2 support leg and the No. 4 support leg, and the cap beam continues to move forward.

[0025] In the above 3), at this time, the main forces acting on the rapid support system are the No. 1 support leg, the No. 3 support leg, and the No. 4 support leg, and the cap beam continues to move forward.

[0053] Each of the supporting legs is provided with two steel columns 5 ; the two steel columns 5 are connected by a diagonal brace 6 .

[0054] The rapid support and replacement system of the present invention is produced by welding the support plates of the originally obstructed sound barrier columns.

[0055] In order to achieve the same purpose as the above technical solution, the present invention also provides a construction method for the above-mentioned rapid underpinning system for sound barrier columns in renovation and expansion projects, the process of which is as follows:

[0056] 1) Rapid underpinning system installation and force system conversion: Install the rapid underpinning system at the obstructed column underpinning location; during installation, keep the fourth leg 12 in the raised state; use the rapid underpinning system to support the sound barrier column 1, and transfer the force to the rapid underpinning system;

[0057] 2) After the originally obstructed sound barrier column 1 is removed, the rapid support system is stressed, the fourth support leg 12 returns to its original position, and the third support leg 11 is lifted;
