Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of widening and connection technology for the reconstruction and expansion of long-span bridges, and in particular relates to a cross-type widening and connection structure for in-service long-span continuous box girders and its construction method. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the reconstruction and expansion of existing long-span box girder bridges often adopts the method of building new bridges of the same type and then widening and connecting them. However, due to the difference in flexural deformation between the old and new long-span box girders, the flange plates of the widened box girder bridge are often subjected to positive bending moments, which leads to cracking of the root concrete. Furthermore, misalignment is prone to occur at the splicing position, which seriously affects the safety and comfort of vehicles traveling across the joint.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN 216640308 U discloses a connecting device for widening bridges, including an anchoring structure and a segmented simply supported steel plate beam span structure. The segmented simply supported steel plate beam span structure is composed of multiple simply supported steel plate beam span structure units spliced ​​together. This utility model adopts a longitudinally modular segmented simply supported steel plate beam span structure and a support mechanism suitable for multi-directional displacement, which can adapt to the difference in vertical flexural deformation and longitudinal and transverse deformation, as well as torsional deformation of curved beams and single-support beams caused by the difference in stiffness between new and old bridges.

[0004] Chinese patent application CN 115262367 A discloses a connection structure and construction process for a bridge widening section, including several connection units and a covering unit. The connection unit includes: a pressure-bearing connector, which is connected to the new bridge and the old bridge respectively; and a support connecting rod, which is flexibly connected to the pressure-bearing connector at both ends. The support connecting rod can rotate and slide relative to the pressure-bearing connector along its connection point. This invention patent has the effect of improving the continuity of the bridge widening section.

[0005] The aforementioned patents all rely on smooth connections at the splicing points to develop different types of widening connection devices and construction techniques. However, for in-service large-span box girder structures after widening, the root of the flange plate is prone to cracking due to positive bending moment. The above methods are not applicable and do not fundamentally eliminate the potential risks of defects during operation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the deformation difference at the splicing connection position of large-span box girder bridges in the prior art, and to provide an in-service large-span continuous box girder spanning splicing connection structure and its construction method.

[0007] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] This invention utilizes a connection method that allows for limited rotation and extensibility deformation to adapt to the differential deformation of the flange ends of new and old bridges at the connection points of long-span continuous box girder bridges. This improves the ride comfort of vehicles crossing the new and old bridges and fundamentally eliminates the potential problem of tensile fracture after splicing.

[0009] The first aspect of this invention provides a spanning and widening connection structure for in-service long-span continuous box girder bridges, used to connect existing old bridges with widened new bridges. The structure includes:

[0010] The main connecting component of the new bridge spanning the gap includes several channel-shaped components, a top plate covering the channel-shaped components, and several solid blocks mounted within the channel-shaped components via ball joints on its sides; and

[0011] The connecting assemblies for connecting existing old bridges include several wedge-shaped solid blocks extending into the channel-shaped members and having ball joints on their sides, and box-shaped members that match the other ends of the wedge-shaped solid blocks.

[0012] When the existing old bridge and the widened new bridge are displaced or have a deflection difference, the main connecting component rotates vertically along the central axis of the ball joint, and the wedge-shaped solid block and the main connecting component are displaced relative to each other, so that the main connecting component and the connecting sub-component undergo limited displacement.

[0013] Furthermore, it also includes several support components, including:

[0014] The first elastic support is installed on the box girder structure of the widened new bridge;

[0015] A first anchoring part that penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the solid block and the top plate and is connected to the first support part;

[0016] A flexible second support is installed on the box girder structure of an existing old bridge; and

[0017] A second anchoring part that penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the wedge-shaped solid block and the box-shaped part and is connected to the second support part.

[0018] Furthermore, the grooved component includes:

[0019] Base plate; and

[0020] Two webs perpendicular to the base plate, the solid block is connected to the webs by a ball joint;

[0021] The top plate has several rectangular holes, the projection of which coincides with the distance between two adjacent web plates.

[0022] Furthermore, the base plate is shaped like a quadratic parabola along its base edge parallel to the web. When the origin of the parabola is used as the starting point of the parabola to establish the coordinate axes, the following formula can be used for calculation:

[0023] y = ax 2+bx;

[0024] Where a and b should satisfy the following requirement:

[0025] -b = a(L1 + D + L2 + 2l);

[0026]

[0027] Wherein, l is the distance from the center of the second anchoring part to the starting point of the parabola, h is the distance from the widened new bridge box girder structure to the bottom plate, L1 is the distance from the center line of the second support part to the end of the flange plate of the widened new bridge box girder structure, and L2 is the length of the connecting main component overlapping the connecting sub-component above the existing old bridge box girder structure.

[0028] Furthermore, the top plate, solid block, and bottom plate are respectively provided with a first anchoring hole, a second anchoring hole, and a third anchoring hole that match the first anchoring part; the projection center of the first anchoring hole passes through the center of the second anchoring hole and the center of the third anchoring hole and coincides with the center line of the bottom plate.

[0029] Furthermore, the box-shaped component includes:

[0030] Several through slots accommodating partially rectangular cross-sectional sections of wedge-shaped solid blocks; and

[0031] A box-shaped plate covering the through slot;

[0032] The box-shaped plate, the wedge-shaped solid block, and the bottom plate of the through groove are respectively provided with a fourth anchoring hole, a fifth anchoring hole, and a sixth anchoring hole that match the second anchoring part; the projection center of the fourth anchoring hole passes through the center of the fifth anchoring hole and the center of the sixth anchoring hole and coincides with the center line of the bottom plate of the through groove.

[0033] Furthermore, the ball joint of the wedge-shaped solid block is connected to the two webs of the through groove.

[0034] Furthermore, the main connecting component also includes a first anti-slip layer laid on the top plate;

[0035] The connecting component also includes a second anti-slip layer laid on the surface of the box-shaped component; the main connecting component is flush with the connecting component.

[0036] Furthermore, the new bridge deck has old bridge paving that is flush with the surface of the main connecting components, and the existing old bridge deck has new bridge paving that is flush with the surface of the connecting sub-components.

[0037] A second aspect of the present invention provides a construction method for a spanning and widening connection structure of an in-service long-span continuous box girder, comprising the following steps:

[0038] S1: Install new bridge paving on the widened bridge deck and install old bridge paving on the existing old bridge deck;

[0039] S2: After detecting the position of transverse prestressed steel bars on the box girder structure of the widened new bridge and the existing old bridge, install support components on the widened new bridge and the existing old bridge.

[0040] S3: Arrange and assemble the main connecting parts and the secondary connecting parts using wedge-shaped solid blocks, and install them on the widened new bridge and the existing old bridge respectively through the first anchoring part and the second anchoring part;

[0041] S4: Lay the first anti-slip layer and the second anti-slip layer on the main connecting component and the secondary connecting component respectively, and keep the surfaces of the new bridge paving, the old bridge paving, the first anti-slip layer and the second anti-slip layer flush, and the project is complete.

[0042] The working principle of this invention is as follows:

[0043] The main connecting component and the secondary connecting component are connected by a wedge-shaped solid block in the secondary connecting component. The wedge-shaped portion of the solid wedge-shaped block is inserted into the groove of the main connecting component, while the rectangular end of the wedge-shaped block is inserted into the through groove of the box-shaped component of the secondary connecting component. Both sides of the wedge-shaped block have ball joints that connect to the web of the through groove. When the newly widened bridge or the existing old bridge experiences horizontal displacement, the wedge-shaped solid block inserted into the groove of the main connecting component undergoes relative displacement with the main connecting component, achieving limited displacement between the main connecting component and the secondary connecting component.

[0044] The solid block of the main component is connected to the web of the channel component by a ball joint on its side. In fact, since the first anchoring part passes through the channel component, the solid block, and the top plate, the solid block is fixed, while the channel component and the top plate can be moved up and down by the ball joints on both sides of the solid block.

[0045] The wedge-shaped solid block of the connecting sub-part is provided with a ball joint on the side to connect with the web plate of the through groove. In fact, since the second anchoring part passes through the box-shaped part and the wedge-shaped solid block, the box-shaped part can be moved up and down due to the ball joints on both sides of the wedge-shaped solid block.

[0046] It should be noted that the first and second anti-slip layers can be made of high-performance resin concrete, which has good flexibility and water resistance, strong adhesion to the steel plate, and prevents rust through the paint film formed on the surface of the steel plate.

[0047] It should be noted that when the first anchorage and the second anchorage conflict with the transverse prestressing tendons in the box girder structure of the widened new bridge or the box girder structure of the existing old bridge, the positions of the tendons passing through the main connecting member and the secondary connecting member, as well as the size and quantity of the first anchorage and the second anchorage, can be appropriately adjusted.

[0048] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0049] (1) The present invention solves the problem that the root of the flange plate may be cracked due to tension after splicing of long-span bridges by setting wedge-shaped solid blocks, eliminates the misalignment problem that may exist at the splicing joint position of traditional expansion joints, and improves the comfort of vehicles crossing.

[0050] (2) The complete set of equipment involved in the construction method of the present invention has a low cost and can be constructed in a modular manner, which improves the construction efficiency and enhances the use effect of the box girder splicing connection. Attached Figure Description

Both sides of the wedge-shaped solid block 401 have ball joints that connect to the web of the through groove 403. When the newly widened bridge 11 and the existing old bridge 2 undergo horizontal displacement, the wedge-shaped solid block 401 inserted into the groove 301 of the main connecting component 3 undergoes relative displacement with the main connecting component 1, achieving limited displacement between the main connecting component 3 and the secondary connecting component 4.

[0132] The solid block 303 of the main component 3 is provided with a ball joint on its side to connect with the web plate 305 of the channel component 301. In fact, since the first anchoring part 502 passes through the channel component 301, the solid block 303, and the top plate 302, the solid block 303 is fixed, while the channel component 301 and the top plate 302 can be moved up and down due to the ball joints on both sides of the solid block 303.

[0133] The wedge-shaped solid block 401 of the connecting sub-part 4 is provided with a ball joint on its side and connected to the web of the through groove 403. In fact, since the second anchoring part 504 passes through the box-shaped part 402 and the wedge-shaped solid block 401, the box-shaped part 402 can be moved up and down due to the ball joints on both sides of the wedge-shaped solid block 401.

[0134] It should be noted that the first anti-slip layer 309 and the second anti-slip layer 408 are made of high-performance resin concrete, which has good flexibility and water resistance, and has extremely strong adhesion to the steel plate. It also plays a role in preventing rust by forming a paint film on the surface of the steel plate.

[0139] S3: Arrange and assemble the main connecting component 3 and the secondary connecting component 4 using wedge-shaped solid blocks 401. One end of the wedge-shaped solid block 401 is inserted into the groove 301 of the main connecting component 3, and the other end is located in the through groove 403 of the secondary connecting component. It is installed on the new bridge 1 and the existing old bridge through the first anchoring part 502 and the second anchoring part 504 respectively. That is, the first anchoring part 502 passes through the top plate 302, the solid block 303, the bottom plate 304 and connects to the first support part 501. The second anchoring part 504 passes through the box plate 404, the wedge-shaped solid block 401, the through groove 403 and connects to the second support part 503.

[0140] S4: Lay the first anti-slip layer 309 and the second anti-slip layer 408 on the main connecting component 3 and the secondary connecting component 4 respectively, and keep the surfaces of the new bridge pavement 101, the old bridge pavement 201, the first anti-slip layer 309 and the second anti-slip layer 408 flush, and the process is complete.
