Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge engineering, and specifically discloses a bridge closure structure and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] Bridge closure refers to the process of joining bridges, embankments, dams, or other structures constructed from both ends in the middle. In bridge engineering, closure, also known as "joining," is a crucial step in bridge construction.

[0003] There are two methods for bridge closure: translational closure and rotational closure. The basic steps of rotational closure are as follows: pour the pier and beam body, and install a turntable in the middle of the abutment below the pier body. Use automatic continuous jacks, hydraulic pumps and main control consoles to pull the pier and beam body to turn around, and connect the two beam bodies in mid-air above the road or river to complete the closure.

[0004] A method (202210843623.X) describes a bridge rotation structure and its construction method. The bridge rotation structure includes a first central pier, a first connecting beam, a rotation device, a second central pier, a second connecting beam, a third central pier, a sliding track, and a sliding device. The first connecting beam is positioned above the first central pier. The rotation device is positioned between the first central pier and the first connecting beam, with both sides of the device fixedly connected to the first central pier and the first connecting beam, respectively. The second central pier is positioned on both sides of the existing bridge, and the second connecting beam is positioned on top of the second central pier. A sliding track and a sliding device are provided between the second connecting beam and the second central pier. By setting the second central pier as a temporary central pier, the problem of the first and second connecting beams being positioned above the existing bridge during closure is avoided, ensuring the operational safety of the existing railway. After the mid-span closure, the continuous beam is slid from the second central pier to the third central pier, achieving the crossing of the existing bridge. This method can cross existing bridges and uses a sliding method to set up the connecting beam. However, the existing method and the closure method in the prior art have the following drawbacks: the installation of the rotation support is an important part of the bridge rotation. If the accuracy and force control deviation exceeds 1mm, it may cause the huge rotating shaft to be difficult to rotate, and the bridge cannot be closed. When closing, concrete needs to be poured to form the bridge deck and connect the beams on both sides, which leads to the extension of the entire construction period. At the same time, when pouring concrete, it is also necessary to erect a steel reinforcement structure, which is also relatively troublesome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a bridge closure structure and its construction method to solve the technical problem of how to quickly complete the bridge closure.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical method:

[0007] A bridge closure structure includes a left pier, a right pier, a left beam, a right beam, and a steel closure unit. Both the left and right piers have rotation units at their bottoms. Both the left and right piers have vibration-damping supports. The right pier also has a first jack. The right beam is mounted on the vibration-damping supports and the first jack on the right pier, and the left beam is mounted on the vibration-damping supports on the left pier. The left beam has a steel left connecting section with several T-shaped first and second connecting slots vertically arranged on it. The first connecting slots are located at the upper part of the left connecting section, and the second connecting slots are located at the lower part of the left connecting section. The size of the first connecting slot is larger than that of the second connecting slot. The right beam has a right connecting section with several T-shaped first and second connecting plates. The steel closure unit includes a hydraulic winder, a left internal track, a right internal track, and a closure traction rope. The left internal track is circumferentially arranged in the inner wall of the left beam, and the right internal track is circumferentially arranged in the inner wall of the right beam. A left support steel pipe is provided in the left internal track, and the end of all left support steel pipes away from the right beam is fixedly connected by a left ring frame. A right support steel pipe is provided in the right internal track, and the end of all right support steel pipes away from the left beam is fixedly connected by a right ring frame. The hydraulic winder is located on the ground, and the closure traction rope can be wound on the hydraulic winder. The closure traction rope can enter the left and right beams and pull the left and right support steel pipes to move towards each other.

[0008] This scheme employs a bottom-rotation closure method, using a rotation unit to simultaneously rotate the pier and beam. A first jack is included, which lifts the right beam upwards. Once the left and right beams are aligned, the first jack lowers the right beam, completing the closure. This structure and method allow for rapid closure of the left and right beams. After adjusting their vertical positions, the left and right joints can be seamlessly connected, requiring only bolts for subsequent fixing, significantly reducing closure time. To improve structural stability at the closure joint, this scheme includes a left and right internal track, a left support steel pipe, and a right support steel pipe. The left and right support steel pipes are staggered, and a hydraulic winder and closure traction rope are used to pull them into the right and left internal tracks for fixation.

[0009] Optionally, both the left and right internal tracks include C-shaped track rings. The track rings are arranged circumferentially along the inner wall of the left / right beam and along its length. The number and position of the track rings in the left / right beam are the same. The number and position of the left / right support steel pipes in the left / right beam are the same and staggered. After the left support steel pipe is moved, it can be inserted into the track ring of the right beam, and after the right support steel pipe is moved, it can be inserted into the track ring of the left beam.

[0010] Optionally, the left support steel pipe, the right support steel pipe, and the track ring are all provided with screw holes, into which bolts can be screwed for fixation. In this solution, the left support steel pipe and the right support steel pipe can be fixed in the track ring.

[0011] Optionally, the left and right support steel pipes are provided with a plurality of injection holes. During subsequent concrete pouring, concrete can enter the interior of the left / right support steel pipes through the injection holes.

[0012] Optionally, counterweight water tanks are installed on both the left and right beams, with the tanks positioned at the lower end of the opposite sides of the beams. A solenoid valve is installed at the bottom of each counterweight water tank. Using this design, the counterweight water tanks can provide counterweight to the left / right beams during bridge rotation, maintaining their balance. The solenoid valves control the water flow rate from the counterweight water tanks to accommodate changes in the mass or center of gravity of the left / right beams.

[0013] Optionally, the rotating unit includes a foundation, an upper ball joint, a lower ball joint, connecting blocks, a rotating traction rope, and a hydraulic traction machine. The foundation is located on the ground, and a spherical groove is formed at the upper end of the foundation. The lower ball joint is located in the spherical groove, and the upper ball joint is fixedly located at the upper end of the lower ball joint. The upper ball joint is connected to the bottom of the left / right pier. The upper ball joint is provided with several connecting blocks. The two ends of the rotating traction rope are respectively connected to the hydraulic traction machine and the connecting blocks. The hydraulic traction machine can pull the rotating traction rope, which in turn pulls the upper and lower ball joints to rotate. In this scheme, after starting the hydraulic traction machine, the rotating traction rope can be pulled, which in turn pulls the upper and lower ball joints to rotate and drives the left / right pier to rotate, realizing the simultaneous rotation of the pier and the beam. Moreover, these large pieces of equipment are easier to install when located on the ground, and some structures can be prefabricated and transported to the site for direct installation.

[0014] The construction method for bridge closure structures includes the following steps:

[0015] S1, Drilled pile and pile cap construction: 9 drilled piles with a diameter of 1-2m and a length of 25-35m are constructed and arranged in a square array under the pile cap; the pile cap is constructed by casting using the sinking pile cap construction method.

[0016] S2, Arrange the rotating unit, pour a foundation on the pier, install an annular guide rail and a lower ball joint on the foundation, set several sliding ball holes in the spherical groove of the lower ball joint, and set several sliding balls in the sliding ball holes. The sliding balls are made of resin material, and the spherical groove is coated with lubricating oil; then set the formwork and pour concrete, seal the lower part of the lower ball joint and the annular guide rail with concrete, exposing the upper end face of the spherical groove and the annular guide rail; then install the upper ball joint, install the connecting block on the upper ball joint, and the lower ball joint rotates in contact with the upper ball joint; finally install the hydraulic traction machine and the rotating traction rope.

[0017] S3, build the left pier / right pier on the upper ball joint, then install the vibration damping bearing and the first jack on the right pier, install the vibration damping bearing on the left pier, and then build the left beam and the right beam;

[0018] S4, install the steel closure unit, and install the left built-in track, right built-in track, left support steel pipe and right support steel pipe inside the left beam and right beam;

[0019] S5, bridge rotation and closure, start hydraulic traction machine, hydraulic traction machine pulls rotation traction rope, rotation traction rope drives the connecting block to rotate, connecting block drives the upper ball joint to rotate, upper ball joint drives the left pier / right pier and left beam / right beam to rotate;

[0020] S6, Bridge docking: Activate the first jack, which moves the right pier downwards, allowing the left and right docking sections to connect. Then, install bolts to secure the connection.

[0021] S7. Install a hydraulic winder on the ground, and install closure traction ropes on the hydraulic winder. One closure traction rope enters from the left beam and connects to the right support steel pipe, while the other closure traction rope enters from the right beam and connects to the left support steel pipe. After starting the hydraulic winder, the closure traction ropes drive the left support steel pipe to move into the right internal track, and the right support steel pipe to move into the left internal track. Then, support rectangular ring-shaped templates in the left and right beams. The templates surround the left and right support steel pipes, and then pour concrete into them to form a rectangular ring-shaped steel pipe concrete structure to fix the connection between the left and right beams.

[0022] The working principle and beneficial effects of this method are as follows:

[0023] In this design, the bridge rotation simultaneously rotates the piers and beams. The left and right beams are at different heights during rotation, with the right beam above the left. Therefore, collisions between the left and right beams are not a concern during rotation. A first jack is installed on the right pier, which can move the right beam downwards. Once the left and right beams are in position, the first jack can lower the right beam, allowing its right connecting part to align with the left connecting part of the left beam. In this design, the left and right connecting sections are joined vertically, allowing for a seamless connection secured with bolts. To enhance stability and ease of connection, the first connecting plate of the right section is positioned above the second, with the second plate smaller than the first. Similarly, the first connecting groove of the left section is positioned above the second connecting groove, which is smaller. Therefore, as the first and second connecting plates move downwards, the second plate passes through the first connecting groove and continues downwards, while the first plate directly engages with the first connecting groove. At this point, the second plate also engages with the second connecting groove, completing the closure. Compared to existing technologies, this design adds the downward movement of the right beam, but eliminates the need for precast concrete components and closure casting between the two beams. The steel left and right connecting sections replace these steps, making the process simpler and more convenient. In this scheme, it is possible to choose whether to add an internal casting process for the left and right beams. If necessary, formwork can be erected at the left and right support steel pipes and a rectangular ring-shaped concrete steel pipe structure can be cast to increase the strength and stability of the connection between the left and right beams.
