[0060] Example 1

[0061] A typical bridge pier consists of at least one column, meaning it can be composed of one, two, or more columns, forming single-column, double-column, and multi-column bridge piers. Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is a double-column pier.

[0062] In practice, each column is vertically divided into several steel-concrete composite segments. These segments are prefabricated in the factory and then transported to the site for assembly from bottom to top. Therefore, the column is defined as consisting of: a prefabricated bottom segment 1, a prefabricated middle segment 2, and a prefabricated top segment 3. The prefabricated segments are assembled using assembly joints 4. The number of prefabricated middle segments 2 is flexibly set according to the height of the pier, ranging from 0 to n.

[0063] When transported to the bridge site for installation, the lower end of the precast pier bottom segment 1 is connected to the foundation or abutment, and the upper end of the precast pier top segment 3 is connected to the cap beam supporting the bridge superstructure or directly to the bridge superstructure; a suitable number of precast pier intermediate segments 2 are connected between the precast pier bottom segment 1 and the precast pier top segment 3.

[0064] If the number of intermediate segments 2 of the precast pier is 0, the upper end of the bottom segment 1 of the precast pier is connected to the lower end of the top segment 3 of the precast pier through the assembly joint 4.

[0065] If the number of precast pier intermediate segments 2 is 1, the upper end of the precast pier bottom segment 1 is connected to the lower end of the precast pier intermediate segment 2 through the assembly joint 4, and the upper end of the precast pier intermediate segment 2 is connected to the lower end of the precast pier top segment 3.

[0066] If the number of precast pier intermediate segments is greater than 1, multiple precast pier intermediate segments 2 are connected in series through assembly joints 4, and the precast pier intermediate segment 2 at the bottom is connected to the precast pier bottom segment 1, and the precast pier intermediate segment 2 at the top is connected to the precast pier top segment 3.

[0067] If the number of columns of the pier is greater than 1 and the height of the pier is greater than the set height threshold, in order to increase the stability between the columns, a horizontally arranged transverse beam 5 is connected between two adjacent columns. The two ends of the transverse beam 5 are fixedly connected to the middle segment 2 of the precast pier of the two adjacent columns, respectively.

[0068] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the precast pier bottom segment 1, the precast pier middle segment 2, and the precast pier top segment 3 have similar overall structures, including: hollow steel pipe 6, reinforced concrete layer 7, and steel cage.

[0069] Hollow steel pipe 6, made of finished steel pipe or welded from steel plate, can have a circular, rectangular or other polygonal cross-section; that is, as shown in the figure. Figure 4 and Figure 6 The two different cross sections are shown.

[0070] The reinforced concrete layer 7 is coaxially cast on the outside of the hollow steel pipe 6, and the inner surface of the reinforced concrete layer 7 is in contact with the outer surface of the hollow steel pipe 6; the reinforcing cage is placed inside the reinforced concrete layer 7 and is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the hollow steel pipe 6. During prefabrication, the reinforcing cage is first connected to the outer surface of the hollow steel pipe 6, and then the reinforced concrete layer 7 is poured. After curing the reinforced concrete layer 7, the prefabrication is completed.

[0071] like Figure 5 As shown, the steel cage in this embodiment includes vertical main bars 8, ring stirrups 9, and tie bars 10.

[0072] Multiple vertical main reinforcement bars 8 are vertically arranged and distributed in a ring along the central axis of the hollow steel pipe 6; multiple ring stirrups 9 are coaxially arranged with the hollow steel pipe 6 and vertically distributed along the central axis of the hollow steel pipe 6; the vertical main reinforcement bars 8 and the ring stirrups 9 are tied together; one end of multiple tie bars 10 is tied to the vertical main reinforcement bars 8, and the other end of multiple tie bars 10 is welded to the outer surface of the hollow steel pipe 6.

[0073] The steel cage consists of vertical main bars 8 distributed at certain intervals along the circumference and ring stirrups 9 distributed at certain intervals along the vertical direction and tied around the vertical main bars 8. Tie bars 10 are arranged at certain intervals along the circumference and vertical direction, and adopt a V-shaped double-limb form or a hook-shaped single-limb form. One end is tied to the vertical main bars 8, and the other end is welded to the outer surface of the hollow steel pipe 6.

The annular steel plate 12 is set horizontally, and the inner diameter of the annular steel plate 12 is smaller than the inner diameter of the hollow steel pipe 6, while the outer diameter of the annular steel plate 12 is larger than the outer diameter of the hollow steel pipe 6.

[0077] The lower stiffening assembly is welded to the upper end of the hollow steel pipe 6 of the precast pier bottom segment 1 / precast pier middle segment 2, and the lower stiffening assembly is welded to the lower side of the annular steel plate 12; the lower stiffening assembly makes the connection between the annular steel plate 12 and the hollow steel pipe 6 more stable.

[0078] The upper stiffening assembly is welded to the lower end of the hollow steel pipe 6 of the middle segment 2 of the precast pier / top segment 3 of the precast pier; the upper stiffening assembly enables the upper precast segment to be stably connected to the lower annular steel plate 12 when different precast segments need to be connected.

[0079] When connecting the precast pier bottom segment 1 and / or the precast pier middle segment 2 and / or the precast pier top segment 3 through the assembly joint 4, the upper stiffening assembly is welded to the upper side of the annular steel plate 12.

[0080] That is, the annular steel plate 12 at the upper end of the precast pier bottom segment 1 is welded to the lower stiffening assembly at the lower end of the precast pier middle segment 2, and the annular steel plate 12 at the upper end of the precast pier middle segment is welded to the lower stiffening assembly at the lower end of the precast pier top segment 3.

[0085] Multiple upper external stiffening steel plates 16 are arranged in a ring on the outer side of the hollow steel pipe 6, and the sides of the upper external stiffening steel plates are welded to the outer side of the hollow steel pipe 6.

[0086] Multiple upper internal stiffening steel plates 17 are arranged in a ring on the inner side of the hollow steel pipe 6, and the sides of the upper internal stiffening steel plates are welded to the inner side of the hollow steel pipe 6.

[0087] The lower ends of the upper external stiffening steel plate 16, the upper internal stiffening steel plate 17, and the hollow steel pipe 6 are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0088] During segmental prefabrication, the upper end and side of the lower outer stiffening steel plate 14 are respectively welded to the lower side of the annular steel plate 12 and the outer side of the hollow steel pipe 6 of the lower prefabricated segment; the upper end and side of the lower inner stiffening steel plate 15 are respectively welded to the lower side of the annular steel plate 12 and the inner side of the hollow steel pipe 6 of the lower prefabricated segment; the side of the upper outer stiffening steel plate 16 is welded to the outer side of the hollow steel pipe 6 of the upper prefabricated segment; and the side of the upper inner stiffening steel plate 17 is welded to the inner side of the hollow steel pipe 6 of the upper prefabricated segment.

[0089] During on-site assembly of precast segments, the hollow steel pipe 6 of the upper precast segment is aligned with the hollow steel pipe 6 of the lower precast segment and welded to the upper side of the annular steel plate 12. The lower end of the upper outer stiffening steel plate 16 is aligned with the lower outer stiffening steel plate 14 and welded to the upper side of the annular steel plate 12. The lower end of the upper inner stiffening steel plate 17 is aligned with the lower inner stiffening steel plate 15 and welded to the upper side of the annular steel plate 12. At the same time, each vertical main reinforcement 8 of the upper precast segment is aligned with the corresponding vertical main reinforcement 8 of the lower precast segment and connected by a rebar joint 11.

[0090] The steel bar joint 11 is used to connect the vertical main reinforcement 8 between the bottom segment 1 of the precast pier and the middle segment 2 of the precast pier;

The bottom end of the pier bottom segment is connected to the foundation or abutment as designed → as shown. Figure 7 As shown, a guiding, limiting, and positioning device is installed on the upper part of the precast pier bottom segment 1 → a precast segment on the pier bottom is lifted and placed on the annular steel plate 12 at the upper end of the precast segment below it → as shown Figure 8As shown, position, align, correct, and fix. At assembly joint 4, weld the hollow steel pipe 6 of the upper segment and the upper stiffening assembly to the annular steel plate 12 at the top of the lower precast segment. → Install the annular stirrups 9 and tie bars 10 of assembly joint 4. Connect the vertical main bars 8 of the upper and lower precast segments one-to-one using rebar joints 11. → As shown Figure 9 As shown, erect the outer formwork of assembly joint 4 → pour wet joint concrete of assembly joint 4 → repeat the above process until the precast pier top segment 3 is installed → install the construction pier top cap beam or bridge superstructure.
