Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge engineering, and in particular relates to a construction method for prefabricated assembled pier column cap beams. Background Technology

[0002] In bridge construction, the construction of bridge piers and cap beams mostly adopts cast-in-place construction. However, in recent years, engineering construction has been developing towards standardization and factory production, giving rise to prefabricated bridges. Prefabricated bridges, due to the factory production of components, can utilize mechanized, standardized, and automated production lines to standardize a large amount of repetitive work on the construction site. Combined with the standardization and modularization of components, this significantly improves labor efficiency and reduces labor costs. Practical engineering projects have shown that prefabricated bridge construction technology can save 40% of the construction period, 50% of labor requirements, and 60% of the need for production sites.

[0003] Currently, numerous studies and practices have been conducted on prefabricated bridges both domestically and internationally. However, some processes still suffer from cumbersome procedures and low construction efficiency. For example, there is the issue of leveling the prefabricated pier and foundation layer: traditional leveling of the prefabricated pier and foundation layer often involves manual leveling with small tools, which is difficult to handle not only the corners but also to control the overall flatness. Furthermore, existing leveling machinery is not well-suited for such special working conditions. Another example is the installation of connecting components between prefabricated piers on rugged road sections. Current technology typically involves erecting manual ladders on both sides of the prefabricated piers and using cranes for hoisting and manual assistance. This method results in high equipment rental costs and stringent entry conditions for large equipment, limiting its applicability.

[0004] In view of this, there is an urgent need to invent a construction method for prefabricated bridge components that is fast, has low construction risk, and has outstanding economic and technical benefits. Summary of the Invention
