Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge engineering construction technology, and in particular to a construction method for high pile caps of deep-water bridges that combine permanent and temporary structures. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of deep-water foundation construction technology in my country, more and more cross-sea bridges are being built. Among the various deep-water foundation structures for bridges, bored piles are the most widely used. In cross-river and cross-sea bridges with deep water levels, bored piles typically employ high pile caps, with permanent steel casings installed outside the piles. The most common construction method for high pile caps is a steel cofferdam, which involves first driving a permanent steel casing, constructing the piles, then suspending and fixing the steel caisson onto the permanent steel casing to form a working platform, and finally constructing the bottom sealing concrete inside the cofferdam and pouring the cap. The driving of the permanent steel casing not only affects the accuracy of the bridge pile foundation but is also a major load-bearing component in the construction of the steel cofferdam, bottom sealing concrete, and cap. Therefore, the driving of the permanent steel casing is both a challenge and a key aspect of high pile cap bridge construction. There are two main existing methods for installing permanent steel casings for high-pile foundations: one is to use a piling vessel or floating crane in conjunction with a GPS positioning system to drive the steel casing; the other is to first construct a fixed starting platform next to the bridge site, and then use lifting equipment in conjunction with a guide frame on the fixed platform to drive the steel casing. However, the two existing main methods have the following technical problems:

[0003] 1. When using piling boats or floating cranes to drive steel casings, the large waves and fast currents in the water make it impossible for the piling equipment to drive the steel casings under static conditions, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the steel casing driving.

[0004] 2. Using a fixed starting platform for steel casing insertion results in a large amount of steel used in the temporary structure, which is not economical.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a construction method for high-pile foundations of deep-water bridges that can ensure the accuracy of permanent steel casing insertion without requiring additional temporary structures to solve this technical problem. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present invention aims to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a construction method for high pile caps of deep-water bridges that combines permanent and temporary structures.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a construction method for a high-pile cap for a deep-water bridge combining permanent and temporary structures, comprising the following construction steps:

[0008] S1. Transport the prefabricated steel caisson and permanent steel casing to the designed bridge site. The steel caisson is divided into two symmetrical parts, the first steel caisson and the second steel caisson, along the centerline of its long side. Adjust the first steel caisson and anchor it temporarily. Use a floating crane and vibratory hammer to drive the permanent steel casing into the first steel caisson. Then weld the first steel caisson and the permanent steel casing to form a temporary fixing platform and remove the temporary anchor. The steel caisson is a rectangular steel structure, including a base plate, side walls, truss platform and truss closure section. Both the first and second steel caissons include half of the base plate, side walls and truss platform. Temporary side walls are set on the side where the first and second steel caissons are connected.

[0009] S2. On the temporary fixed platform formed in step S1, the remaining permanent steel casings are driven into the corresponding pile positions of the designed bridge location using lifting equipment and vibratory hammer, and the second steel caisson is hoisted onto the permanent steel casing and welded to form the second steel caisson platform.

[0010] S3. Transfer the construction equipment on the temporary fixed platform to the second steel caisson platform, and remove the first steel caisson and the permanent steel casing inside;

[0011] S4. On the second steel caisson platform formed in step S2, use lifting equipment and vibratory hammer to drive the permanent steel casing removed in step S3 into the pile position corresponding to the designed bridge position, and then lift the first steel caisson removed in step S3 onto the permanent steel casing and weld it to form the first steel caisson platform.

[0012] S5. Connect the bottom plate and side walls of the first steel caisson and the second steel caisson, remove the temporary side walls on the first steel caisson and the second steel caisson, and weld the truss closure section to form a complete steel caisson cofferdam platform;

[0013] S6. Drilling of bored piles using drilling machinery on a steel cofferdam platform;

[0014] S7. Pour bottom sealing concrete inside the steel cofferdam;

[0015] S8. Drain the water inside the steel cofferdam, dismantle the truss platform, cut the permanent steel casing above the bottom concrete, tie the foundation reinforcement inside the steel cofferdam and pour the foundation concrete.

[0016] S9. Install auxiliary anti-collision facilities on the steel caisson to form a permanent anti-collision structure and complete the construction of the high pile cap of the bridge.

[0017] Furthermore, the in-plane dimensions of the steel caisson are equal to the in-plane dimensions of the foundation, and the net height is greater than the distance from the bottom of the sealing concrete to the construction water level.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S1, the temporary fixed platform formed by the first steel caisson is located outside the designed bridge site and parallel to the short side of the pier cap.

[0019] Furthermore, in steps S1, S2, and S4, the number of permanent steel casings driven in each time is half of the total number of permanent steel casings.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are: This invention divides the permanent steel casing and steel cofferdam of the bridge into two parts, and uses the permanent structure as a temporary fixed platform for construction during the construction process, so that the construction of the bridge pile foundation and the abutment are carried out on the fixed platform. This not only ensures the accurate positioning of the permanent steel casing of the bridge, but also avoids the use of a large amount of temporary steel structure in the conventional fixed starting platform. The construction process is simple and easy to implement, and it is economical. Attached Figure Description
