Construction method of bridge abutment in cliff section tunnel
By employing a combination of rigid frame bridges, equal-section double-limb thin-walled piers, and prestressed concrete T-beams inside the tunnel in steep cliff sections, along with pileless foundation caps, the problem of tunnel topography damage caused by the construction of large bridge abutments inside the tunnel in steep cliff sections was solved, thereby reducing construction risks and saving costs.

AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, conventional construction methods are prone to damaging the original topography of the tunnel portal when constructing bridge abutments in steep cliff sections, resulting in high construction risks, long construction periods, and high costs, and it is difficult to effectively simplify the construction steps.
The superstructure is formed by a rigid frame bridge, the substructure is formed by double-limb thin-walled piers with equal cross-section, and the superstructure of the approach bridge is formed by simply supporting prestressed concrete T-beams. The substructure is constructed with abutments without pile foundations to form a large bridge abutment inside the tunnel in the steep cliff section.
The construction steps for the bridge abutment inside the tunnel in steep cliff sections were simplified, reducing construction difficulty and risks, shortening the construction period, and reducing project costs.
