AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the construction of high-pier, long-span bridges, the incremental launching method requires a large amount of materials and equipment and has a long cycle. However, when steel beams are erected using only a girder erecting crane in a full cantilever manner, the stress on the steel beams may exceed the design limit, requiring changes to the design structure.

Method used

The nose-beam structure, which is erected using auxiliary steel beams, includes vertical ribs, main longitudinal beams, and diagonal braces. It is erected in a full cantilever manner using a beam-erecting crane, avoiding the need for temporary piers. Stable support is achieved through the connection structure between the nose-beam and the steel beams. Jacks or pads are used as temporary support points, and construction is carried out segment by segment.

Benefits of technology

It enables rapid construction without the need for temporary piers, reduces material and equipment requirements, shortens the construction cycle, is suitable for long-span bridges, avoids the problem of excessive stress in steel beams, and is simple to construct and reusable.
