Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, specifically to a tower crane irregular foundation structure and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] On construction sites, tower cranes are generally used for vertical transportation. In some sites where tower cranes are needed later, traditional installation methods require the introduction of pipe pile drivers to construct additional pipe piles and foundations for the tower crane. On the one hand, the cost of adding new pipe piles is high; on the other hand, since the original pipe pile drivers have already been removed from the site, their re-entry increases costs and impacts the construction schedule.
[0003] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a special-shaped tower crane foundation structure and its construction method are provided to solve the problem that the traditional method of introducing pipe pile driving machines to construct additional pipe piles and pile caps in the later stages of tower crane foundation construction on the construction site is costly and affects the construction period.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, a special-shaped foundation structure for tower cranes is provided, comprising:
[0006] Two existing pile groups are respectively set on opposite sides of the tower crane installation position;
[0007] Two first-phase foundations are provided, with each existing pile group having a first-phase foundation poured on top. The two first-phase foundations are staggered and have opposite ends. The upper end of the existing pile group is anchored in the first-phase foundation.
[0008] The second-phase foundation is connected to the two first-phase foundations;
[0009] The force transmission component embedded in the second-phase foundation includes two straight concealed beams, two inclined concealed beams, and a connecting concealed beam. The two straight concealed beams are respectively located at both ends of the second-phase foundation, and both ends of the straight concealed beams extend to one end of the two first-phase foundations and connect to the upper end of the existing pile group. The two inclined concealed beams are arranged crosswise, and both ends of the inclined concealed beams are respectively connected between the opposite ends of the two straight concealed beams. The connecting concealed beam connects the two straight concealed beams, and the intersection point of the two inclined concealed beams coincides with the center of the plane of the installation position.
[0010] Furthermore, the straight concealed beam is connected to the intersection of the two inclined concealed beams.
[0011] Furthermore, each of the existing pile groups includes at least three pile bodies, which are arranged along the circumferential direction of the first-phase pier cap.
[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of the straight hidden beam are respectively connected to the upper ends of the existing pile bodies in the pile groups on opposite sides of the two phase one foundations.
[0013] Furthermore, the connecting hidden beam is arranged perpendicular to the straight hidden beam.
[0014] This invention provides a construction method for an irregularly shaped tower crane foundation structure, comprising the following steps:
[0015] A first-phase foundation is poured on top of two existing pile groups. The two first-phase foundations are staggered so that the upper end of the existing pile groups is anchored in the first-phase foundation.
[0016] Two straight hidden beams are cast between the two first-phase foundations, with both ends of the straight hidden beams extending to one end of the two first-phase foundations and connecting to the upper end of the existing pile group.
[0017] Two inclined hidden beams are cast between the two first-phase foundations, with the two ends of the inclined hidden beams respectively connected between the opposite ends of the two straight hidden beams, and the intersection of the two inclined hidden beams coincides with the center of the plane of the installation position.
[0018] A connecting beam is cast between the two straight concealed beams to form a force transmission component;
[0019] A second-stage foundation is cast between the two first-stage foundations, such that the second-stage foundation is connected to the two first-stage foundations and covers the force transmission component.
[0020] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: the irregular-shaped tower crane foundation structure and its construction method provide an optimized design for tower crane foundations. It utilizes existing pile foundations and connects the pile foundations on opposite sides of the tower crane installation location to form a secondary pile foundation for tower crane installation. The resulting secondary pile foundation is irregularly shaped. By incorporating force transmission components within the secondary pile foundation, the tower crane experiences uniform stress during rotation, ensuring a clear force transmission path and guaranteeing normal construction operations. Specifically, the force transmission components consist of straight concealed beams, inclined concealed beams, and connecting concealed beams. These concealed beams within the secondary pile foundation connect the primary and secondary pile foundations into a unified whole, making the pile foundation more robust. The path for transmitting the upper load from the pile foundation and pile foundation to the pile foundation is clear, ensuring uniform stress on the pile foundation and pile foundation. This avoids problems such as pile foundation cracking and excessive stress on localized pile foundations, thus ensuring tower crane safety. Attached Figure Description

[0043] This invention relates to a tower crane irregular foundation structure and its construction method, providing an optimized tower crane foundation design that utilizes existing pile foundations and connects the pile foundations on opposite sides of the tower crane installation location to form a secondary pile foundation for the tower crane. The resulting secondary pile foundation is irregularly shaped. By incorporating force transmission components within the secondary pile foundation, the tower crane experiences uniform stress during rotation, with a clear force transmission path, ensuring normal construction operations. Specifically, the force transmission components consist of straight concealed beams, inclined concealed beams, and connecting concealed beams. These concealed beams within the secondary pile foundation connect the primary and secondary pile foundations into a unified whole, making the pile foundation more robust.
