Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the present invention provides a method for constructing a steel pipe arch bridge arch rib segmentally without support, comprising the following steps:
[0030] S1. Hoist each arch section to the installation position, and temporarily fix the two arch sections 10 that are symmetrically arranged in the transverse direction of the bridge to form an arch rib unit G according to the designed transverse spacing. i 2;
[0031] S2, sequentially connect two adjacent arch rib units G i 2 are hinged together; a sliding support 6 is provided at the front end of the arch rib unit G1 located at the starting end and is hinged to the sliding support 6.
[0032] S3. Move the lifting device 3 to the rear end of the arch rib unit Gi2 and connect it to the arch rib unit Gi2. At the same time, in the arch rib unit Gi2... i 2 and arch rib unit G i+1 The rear end of 4 is provided with the sliding support 6, and is hinged to the sliding support 6 respectively, in the arch rib unit G i+1 A jacking device is installed at the rear end of 4;
[0033] S4, The arch rib unit G is lifted by the lifting device 3. i From the rear end of 2 to the design height, arch rib unit G i+1 The front end of 4 is then raised; during the raising process, the arch rib unit G is simultaneously pushed by the jacking device 9. i+1 The backend of 4;
[0034] S5, the arch rib unit G to be described i 2 and arch rib element G i+1 After the hinge of 4 reaches the predetermined position, the arch rib unit G is placed. i2 and arch rib element G i+1 4. The hinge joint is welded and fixed.
[0035] S6. Move the lifting device 3 to the hinge of the next arch rib unit, and repeat steps S3 to S5 until the arch rib is formed.
[0036] In this technical solution, the first step is to prepare for the arch rib construction by installing the lifting device 3 in place; then, measurements are taken and lines are laid out, and each arch section is hoisted to its predetermined position using conventional lifting equipment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, in the low-lying region, two arch sections 10 symmetrically arranged in the transverse direction of the bridge are temporarily consolidated at the designed transverse spacing to form an arch rib unit G. i 2; then G between each arch rib unit i 2. A longitudinal hinged connection is made via a hinge shaft; or the arch section 10 is first longitudinally hinged at the lower position, and then the two arch sections 10 arranged symmetrically in the transverse direction are temporarily fixed together. For example... Figure 3 As shown, the lifting device 3 is moved to the arch rib unit G to be installed. i 2's rear end, and slowly raise the arch rib unit G i 2 and arch rib element G i+1 4. Hinged joint; simultaneously, the aforementioned jacking device 9 jacks the arch rib unit G. i+1 The rear end of 4 drives the arch rib unit G. i+1 4. Move forward, and then adjust the arch rib unit G. i The deflection angle of 2 is adjusted so that the arc formed between the two meets the setting requirements. Then, the two arch rib units are welded and fixed, and the lifting device is moved to the arch rib unit G. i+1 4 and arch rib element G i+2 At the hinge joints, repeat the above steps until all arch rib units are assembled. It should be noted that the front and rear ends mentioned here are based on the arching direction of each arch rib unit; the end that is arched first is the front end, and the other end is the rear end. This arching method indirectly reduces the installation height of arch sections by breaking the process down into smaller parts, thus reducing construction difficulty and risk. Simultaneously, by reducing the amount of support used and employing a relatively low lifting device that can also accommodate arch section installation, the construction cost during the arching stage is reduced. Furthermore, it overcomes many limitations of traditional arching methods for large-span arch bridges with high arches, and can be used alone or simultaneously with other arching methods.
[0037] Specifically, in step S1, such as Figure 2As shown, two arch sections 10 symmetrically arranged in the transverse direction of the bridge are connected by a transverse connecting rod 5. The transverse connecting rod 5 is detachably connected to the two arch sections 10 and is located near the ends of the arch sections 10. The two arch sections 10 symmetrically arranged in the transverse direction of the bridge are temporarily fixed together by the transverse connecting rod 5 according to the designed transverse spacing. Specifically, the transverse connecting rod 5 is located at both ends of the arch rib unit G1 at the starting end, and the remaining arch rib units G... i The rear end is provided with the horizontal connecting rod 5.
[0038] In another embodiment, each of the transverse connecting rods 5 is provided with a sliding support 6 at both ends; see reference Figure 4 The sliding support 6 includes a longitudinal track 61, a slider 62, and a hinge support 63. The longitudinal track 61 is fixedly installed at the corresponding installation position of the arch section 10. The slider 62 is slidably mounted on the longitudinal track 61. The lower end of the hinge support 63 is hinged to the slider 62, and the upper end of the hinge support 63 is fixedly connected to one end of the transverse connecting rod 5. The hinge support 63 enables the hinge connection between the end of the arch rib unit and the sliding support 6.
[0039] In another embodiment, the pushing device 9 is a hydraulic cylinder. The fixed end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the longitudinal transfer track 61, and its movable end is fixedly connected to the slider 62. An electro-hydraulic proportional control valve is provided on the hydraulic circuit of the hydraulic cylinder. The longitudinal transfer track 61 is arranged along the longitudinal direction of the arch rib. The hydraulic cylinder pushes the slider 62 to move along the longitudinal transfer track 61, thereby driving the arch rib unit G. i move.
[0040] Furthermore, an angle sensor is provided at the hinge joint between the hinge support 63 and the slider 62.
[0041] The lifting device 3 includes a lifting gantry 31, a sliding rail 33, and continuous jacks 32. The sliding rail 33 is fixedly installed at the corresponding arch section 10. The lifting gantry 31 spans above the arch rib unit, and its bottom can move along the sliding rail 33. The continuous jacks 32 are correspondingly arranged with the sliding supports 6. The fixed end of the continuous jacks 32 is fixedly connected to the lifting gantry 31, and its movable end is fixedly connected to the slider 62. It is understood that there are two sliding rails 33 corresponding to the bottom of the lifting gantry 31. The lifting gantry 31 can move along the sliding rails 33 using conventional methods in the prior art, which are not limited here. Since the continuous jacks 32 are correspondingly arranged with the sliding supports 6, there are two continuous jacks 32 on the lifting gantry 31 corresponding to the sliding supports 6 at both ends of the transverse connecting rod 5.
[0042] When the lifting device 3 moves to the arch rib unit G i When the rear end of 2 is reached, the movable end of the continuous jack 32 is connected to the corresponding slider 62, and the continuous jacks 32 on both sides simultaneously lift the arch rib unit G. i 2. At this point, the slider 62 separates from the corresponding longitudinal track 61. During the lifting process, the angle sensor is used to monitor the corresponding arch rib unit G. i The deflection angle of 2 is converted into an electrical signal, which is then used to control the amount of oil entering the hydraulic cylinder via the electro-hydraulic proportional control, driving the hydraulic cylinder to push the arch rib unit G. i+1 The rear end of 4, thus ensuring the arch rib unit G i The deflection angle of element 2 is within the control range and is stably raised to the design position, thereby enabling the arch rib element G to... i 2 and arch rib element G i+1 The arc formed between 4 meets the setting requirements.
[0043] In another embodiment, a transverse connecting rod 5 at the front end of the arch rib unit G1 at the starting end and the arch rib unit G1 are also included. i Steel strand J is installed between the horizontal connecting rods 5 at the rear end. i 8; In step S5, the arch rib unit G is... i 2 and arch rib element G i+1 After welding and fixing between 4, tension the steel strand J. i 8. Make the arch rib unit G i With the already installed arch rib units, namely arch rib unit G1 to arch rib unit G i-1 This forms an arch segment 1. Furthermore, to ensure tensioning effect and stability, the steel strand J... i 8 is configured as two strands, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the crossbeam connecting rod 5; during tensioning, the steel strands J on both sides... i 8. Synchronous tensioning. (e.g.) Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, similarly, the transverse connecting rod 5 at the front end of the arch rib unit G1 and the arch rib unit G i+1 Steel strand J is installed between the rear transverse connecting rods 5 and 4. i+1 7. Arch rib unit G i+1 4 and arch rib element G i+2 After welding and fixing between them, tension the steel strand J i+1 7. Form a new arch segment; repeat this process until the entire arch rib assembly is complete. After the arch rib is formed, remove the transverse connecting rods 5, the sliding supports 6, and the tensioning steel strands J. i Then remove the lifting device 3 and proceed with subsequent construction steps.
[0044] Although embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed above, they are not limited to the applications listed in the specification and embodiments. They can be applied to various fields suitable for the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other modifications can be easily made. Therefore, without departing from the general concept defined by the claims and their equivalents, the present invention is not limited to the specific details and illustrations shown and described herein.
