Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of bridge construction, and relates to a combined dismantling method of a steel arch frame for box-type reinforced concrete arch bridge construction. BACKGROUND

[0002] The box-type reinforced concrete arch bridge has good stress performance, economy and durability, and is a bridge type widely used for crossing special geological environments such as mountain gorges and rivers. During the construction of the box-type reinforced concrete arch bridge, a steel arch frame is often used as a supporting structure for installing a formwork and bearing a concrete pouring construction load of the arch bridge. After the construction of the arch bridge is completed, the arch frame needs to be dismantled.

[0003] The steel arch frame is often composed of multiple pieces of a Bailey beam spliced in segments. During installation, the steel arch frame can be hoisted by using a cable-stayed buckle hanging method or a cable crane, which is similar to the installation construction of arch ribs of the arch bridge. However, during the dismantling of the steel arch frame, the constructed arch bridge blocks the way, and the construction space under the bridge is limited, so that large equipment cannot be used for dismantling. Generally, only small segments of the steel arch frame can be dismantled piece by piece, which is low in efficiency and poor in safety.

[0004] In the prior art, patent CN210684485U discloses a steel arch frame dismantling device for construction of a deck-type box-type arch bridge. A plurality of hangers are pre-buried in the concrete of the arch bridge to be connected with the steel arch frame, and a plurality of hanger holes are reserved on the bridge. The steel arch frame is dismantled in segments. When each segment is dismantled, a winch is arranged on the bridge to be connected with the segment through a hanger, and then the connection between the segment and the hanger and other segments is released. The segment is lowered to a transport ship below by the winch.

[0005] The above device can realize the dismantling of large segments of the steel arch frame. However, a large number of hangers reserved in the concrete of the arch bridge need to be cut off and the concrete needs to be repaired in the later period. The cutting and repairing operations are performed by workers in a hanging basket, which not only increases the workload, but also has a certain danger in high-altitude construction. In addition, a part of the steel hangers is left in the concrete, which easily forms a corrosion channel and causes diseases such as concrete cracking. SUMMARY

[0011] (2) the transport ship is driven to the position directly below the arch top segment; the connection between the arch top segment and the two arch waist segments of the steel arch is released, and the arch top segment is lowered to the transport ship through the winch;

[0012] (3) after the transport ship transports the arch top segment to the designated position and returns, it is driven to the position below the arch waist segment on the left side of the steel arch; the tension jacks on the left tower are loosened to make the steel strands relax, and the left arch waist segment and the arch foot segment are vertically turned downward as a whole until the left arch waist segment is supported on the transport ship;

[0013] the connection between the left arch waist segment and the tower is released, and then the connection between the left arch waist segment and the arch foot segment is released, so that the arch waist segment is completely released onto the transport ship;

[0014] (4) the tension jacks on the left tower are tensioned to make the steel strands tensioned, and the arch foot segment is vertically turned upward by a certain angle; after the transport ship transports the left arch waist segment to the designated position and returns, it is driven to the position below the left arch foot segment; the tension jacks on the left tower are loosened to make the steel strands relax, and the left arch foot segment is vertically turned downward until the left arch foot segment is supported on the transport ship;

[0016] (5) the right arch waist segment and the arch foot segment are removed by the same method, and the whole steel arch is removed.

[0017] The present application uses the cable-stayed and hanging method, the vertical turning method and the large segment lifting method in the installation of the steel structure arch rib as the reverse process of the above-mentioned methods, and combines the above-mentioned methods to remove the steel arch, so that the large segment removal of the steel arch under the condition of limited space is realized, the construction efficiency and safety are improved, and the damage to the bridge structure is avoided.

[0018] The present application is especially suitable for the dismantling construction of the steel arch frame installed by the inclined cable fastening and hanging method or the vertical turning method, the fastening tower is not dismantled temporarily after the installation of the steel arch frame, and is used in the later arch frame dismantling, so that the arch frame dismantling construction cost can be saved.
