Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of bridge engineering, and particularly relates to a bridge widening structure suitable for a bridge with transverse prestress. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of social economy in China, the traffic volume of highway network increases year by year. This makes a large number of early built bridges difficult to meet the current traffic operation demand, and thus needs to be reconstructed to improve the traffic carrying capacity. Considering both economy and practicability, if the bridge is rebuilt, the cost will be increased, which requires widening and reinforcing the original bridge on the basis of the original bridge to effectively utilize the structure of the original bridge and fully play the economic value under the premise of ensuring the safety and reliability of the bridge.

[0003] At present, for widening the large cantilever box girder bridge with transverse prestress, the end of the flange plate cannot be chiseled off and then connected to the new bridge by anchoring, and the widening method of only continuously paving the bridge deck is often adopted. When the superstructures of the new and old bridges are not connected, the overall stress is poor, and cracks are prone to occur at the joint of the bridge deck, affecting the safety of driving.

[0004] Chinese patent CN 104631348 A discloses a transverse widening splicing structure of a three-way prestressed concrete continuous box girder bridge. A transverse splicing stiffening rib is arranged between the new and old box girder webs at a certain distance, and the new and old main girders are connected together. Meanwhile, the flange plates of the new and old box girders are separated, and a plate type rubber belt is paved above the separation joint. The plate type rubber belt is fixed on the flange plate by bolts, and the top surface of the rubber belt is flush with the bridge deck pavement layer. This transverse splicing method not only overcomes the shortcoming that the flange plate of the three-way prestressed concrete box girder cannot be chiseled off, but also avoids the difficulty of transversely anchoring the reinforcement at the end of the flange plate, and better solves the transverse splicing problem of the three-way prestressed continuous box girder bridge.

[0005] However, the structure of the superstructure splicing part of the new and old box girders is not actually connected together, but is connected by the plate type rubber belt. Although the built-in reinforcement of the stiffening rib and the anchor bolt are increased, the overall stress is still poor, and cracks are prone to occur at the joint of the bridge deck, which needs to be further improved.
