Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of arch frame construction for multi-span reinforced concrete arch bridges, and more specifically to a method for installing and constructing a double-span reinforced concrete box arch frame. Background Technology

[0002] In the construction of reinforced concrete arch bridges, steel arch frames are generally used as the support system for the main structure construction. The steel arch frames are assembled in stages using cable hoists or in situ using scaffolding. Both methods require workers to operate at heights, posing significant safety risks and making it impossible to guarantee the quality of the steel arch frame assembly.

[0003] Many arch bridges are located in deep mountain valleys or in areas with rapid water flow. Two-span arch bridges with equal spans are generally constructed using in-situ support assembly or cable-stayed construction. Cable-stayed construction is costly, and the support method is extremely dangerous in such terrains. In order to reduce construction costs and safety risks associated with ultra-high supports, it is necessary to find a low-cost method with relatively low safety risks. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a method for installing a double-hole reinforced concrete box arch frame.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0006] The installation and construction method for a double-hole reinforced concrete box arch frame includes the following steps:

[0007] S1. Select a central location in the surveyed terrain and install the intermediate arch seat. Rotate and install a turntable on the intermediate arch seat. Rotate and install the inner arch frame on both sides of the turntable. Vertically set the rotating shaft on the turntable. Connect the two ends of the arch frame to the top of the rotating shaft through the first vertical rotation cable. Then carry out the first vertical rotation construction to close the ends of the arch frame.

[0008] S2. After the first vertical rotation is completed, multiple second vertical rotation cables are used to connect the arch frame for the second vertical rotation, so that the arch frame is rotated to the design elevation position.

[0009] S3. Rotate the turntable, and the arch frame will rotate horizontally accordingly. Stop rotating after the whole structure has rotated to the design axis.

[0010] S4. The remaining arch frame on the right side is assembled and closed.

[0011] Assemble the remaining arch frame, install the right arch seat on the side of the mountain, and rotate the lower end of the remaining arch frame to connect with the right arch seat. The other end of the remaining arch frame is slowly lowered through the fastening cable and joined with the corresponding arch frame.

[0012] S5. Assemble the remaining arch frame on the left side using the same method as in step S4.

[0013] Before step S1, there is also the following step: first, erect a low temporary support frame and assemble part of the steel arch frame in sections.

[0014] In step S2, after the arch frame is vertically rotated to the design elevation, it is re-measured to ensure accuracy.

[0015] In step S3, according to the design requirements, the rotation parameter is: 88° counterclockwise rotation.

[0016] After step S3 is completed, the turntable hinge is poured after verifying the arch frame axis, and the concrete around the arch seat is backfilled.

[0017] In step S4, part of the arch frame is assembled along the mountainside, and the remaining part is assembled on a temporary support.

[0018] In step S5: Some arch frames can be assembled vertically along the transition pier by setting fixed supports vertically.

[0019] In steps S4 and S5, the remaining arch frame is connected to a corresponding planar cable. This is because in the initial process, the arch frame does not yet have the force to rotate downwards, and the planar cable is used to pull the corresponding arch frame downwards.

[0020] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0021] 1. This construction method reduces the amount of high-altitude assembly and welding work, shortens the construction period, and simplifies the construction process.

[0022] 2. It improves the efficiency of on-site arch frame assembly and welding, facilitates the control of welding quality, reduces the amount of direct assembly required, lowers the requirements for lifting equipment, and minimizes construction safety risks. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] This method leverages the terrain advantage at an 88° angle to the bridge site, constructing low temporary supports to assemble the steel arch frame in segments. A steel arch that can rotate around its base is then installed at the arch abutment. After assembly, the arch frame is transferred to the design elevation using a combination of vertical and horizontal rotation before being joined together. The arch axis is then re-measured, and the main arch structure construction proceeds. The location of arch abutment No. 10 was selected during the preliminary survey and is suitable for W-shaped terrain.

[0030] The specific implementation methods and features are described below:

[0031] Step 1: Erect temporary support 1, assemble arch frame 2, install turntable 3 at the middle arch seat (arch seat 10), vertically install rotating shaft 31 on the turntable, install vertical rotation support 4 and first vertical rotation fastening cable 5, and carry out the first vertical rotation construction. Figure 1 As shown.

[0032] Step Two: After the first vertical rotation is completed, multiple second vertical rotation cables (6) are used to connect the arch frame. The second vertical rotation is then performed at arch seat No. 10. After reaching the design elevation, a re-measurement is conducted to ensure the arch frame is in place. Figure 2 As shown.

[0033] Step 3: The steel arch frame of arch seat No. 10 is vertically rotated a second time to the design elevation and then rotated 88° counterclockwise to the design axis. After verifying the arch frame axis, the turntable is poured to seal the hinge, and the concrete around the arch seat is backfilled. For example... Figure 3 As shown.

[0034] Step Four: The steel arch frame of the right arch seat (arch seat No. 11) is assembled along the mountainside, and the remaining part is assembled on the support frame. Specifically: the right arch seat is installed on the side of the mountainside, the lower end of the remaining arch frame is rotatably connected to the right arch seat, and the other end of the remaining arch frame is slowly lowered through the fastener 7, aligning and closing with the corresponding arch frame; the steel arch frame of the left arch seat (arch seat No. 9) can be vertically assembled along the transition pier by setting up fixed supports. Figure 4 As shown.

[0035] Step 5: After the steel arch frame of arch seat No. 11 is assembled, it undergoes a third vertical rotation, rotating counterclockwise until it aligns with the designed arch axis. Simultaneously, after the steel arch frame of arch seat No. 9 is assembled, it is rotated clockwise to the designed arch axis and then closed. (The rest of the text is incomplete and likely refers to a different step.) Figure 5 As shown.

[0036] Furthermore, in steps S4 and S5, the remaining part of the arch frame is connected to the corresponding planar cable 8, because in the initial process the arch frame does not yet have the force to rotate downwards, the planar cable is used to pull the corresponding lower part of the arch frame.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
