Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of bridge engineering, and relates to a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure and a preparation method thereof. More specifically, it relates to a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure with mutual strong restraint between steel and concrete and a manufacturing method thereof. Background Art
[0002] A steel orthotropic plate is a structure that jointly bears loads composed of longitudinal and transverse stiffeners (or diaphragms) perpendicular to each other and a steel top plate. The self-weight of a steel orthotropic plate is about 1 / 4 to 1 / 5 of that of a reinforced concrete bridge deck or a precast prestressed concrete bridge deck. Moreover, it is convenient for transportation and erection, has a short construction period, strong load-bearing capacity, and excellent tensile and compressive properties, which promotes the improvement of the spanning ability of bridges and becomes the preferred bridge deck form for long-span bridges. Since it was proposed in the 1930s of the last century and the Kurpfalz Bridge was built using this technology in 1950, which is the world's first steel structure bridge that uses the steel orthotropic plate structure as an integral part of the main beam to jointly bear forces and at the same time bears local traffic loads as the carriageway. Since then, it has been widely used in steel structure bridge engineering.
[0003] However, in the more than 70 years of use, several problems have also emerged in the steel orthotropic bridge deck: First, the U-rib is welded to the steel top plate. Due to the existence of initial weld defects and welding residual stresses, the U-rib, the top steel plate, and the weld connecting the two are prone to fatigue cracking; second, the U-rib is welded to the diaphragm on the side, and the diaphragm near the U-rib and the weld between the U-rib and the diaphragm are prone to fatigue cracking. The main reason is that the stiffness of the top plate of the orthotropic bridge deck is small and the deformation is large. In addition, the influence line of the bridge deck is short, resulting in frequent alternating changes in the stress of the above-mentioned welds. The key to solving this problem is to increase the stiffness of the top plate, reduce the deformation, and reduce the stress amplitude. According to this idea, domestic and foreign engineering and technical personnel have proposed a steel-concrete composite bridge deck. The stiffness of the top plate can be greatly improved through the concrete layer, and the stress of the weld between the U-rib and the top plate can be reduced by more than 2 / 3, and the stress between the side of the U-rib and the diaphragm can be reduced by 1 / 3. However, engineering practice shows that the traditional steel-concrete composite bridge deck has the following problems: the tensile strength of concrete is low and it is prone to cracking under the tensile stress caused by negative bending moment, resulting in a reduction in the effective cross-section of the concrete layer, and the effects of large stiffness and reduction of steel structure stress are greatly reduced; in addition, due to the large thickness and weight of the concrete layer, its weight can reach more than 3 times that of the steel orthotropic bridge deck; the construction of the concrete layer is carried out on-site at the bridge location, which is a typical cast-in-place structure, with high labor input and great difficulty in environmental protection control.
[0004] Based on the above-mentioned defects and deficiencies, there is an urgent need in the art to propose a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure to solve the fatigue problem of the weld between the stiffener and the steel top plate of the steel orthotropic bridge deck, and at the same time avoid the problem that the traditional composite bridge deck is prone to cracking under negative bending moment and the stiffness drops significantly. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects or improvement requirements of the prior art, the present invention provides a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure and a preparation method thereof. In a narrow space, the upper and lower steel plates attached with shear studs are connected into a steel shell structure assembly that can jointly bear forces; the reinforced concrete tenon formed by the perforated T-shaped ribs and the core bar steel bars and the shear studs anchor the upper and lower steel plates in the filled concrete. The T-shaped stiffeners reduce the free plate width of the upper and lower steel plates and jointly form a strong constraint on the upper and lower steel plates with the shear studs, ensuring that the upper and lower steel plates do not undergo elastic buckling before tensile and compressive yielding, and giving full play to the material properties of the upper and lower steel plates in the structure; the steel shell structure strongly restricts the filled concrete by enclosing the space, the reinforced concrete tenon and the shear studs, improves its crack resistance and crack constraint ability, effectively improves the performance of the concrete structure, and combines the steel shell structure assembly and the filled concrete into a steel shell-concrete composite plate with coordinated deformation and joint force; the intermediate insertion plate converts the connection between concretes into the connection of steel plates. The upper steel plates of adjacent composite plates are connected by welds, and the lower steel plates are connected to the bottom connecting steel plate through pre-pierced bolts. The stiffness of the steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck is 60 times that of the steel top plate of the traditional steel orthotropic bridge deck, solving the fatigue problem of the weld between the stiffener and the steel top plate of the steel orthotropic bridge deck, and at the same time avoiding the problem that the traditional composite bridge deck is prone to cracking under negative bending moment and the stiffness drops significantly, giving full play to the performance of the steel shell and concrete, and solving the problem of excessive weight of the traditional steel-concrete composite bridge deck.
[0006] To achieve the above object, according to one aspect of the present invention, a steel-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure is proposed, which includes a plurality of steel-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck units. Each steel-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck unit includes: a steel shell structure, infilled concrete provided in the steel shell structure, longitudinal and transverse stiffeners provided at the bottom of the steel shell structure, and a plate end connection structure connecting adjacent steel-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck units. Among them, the steel shell structure includes upper steel plates, lower steel plates arranged in parallel, and a plurality of core bar steels arranged in parallel. A plurality of perforated T-shaped ribs arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bridge deck are provided between the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate.

The reinforced concrete tenons formed by the perforated T-shaped ribs and the core bar steels and the shear stud assemblies anchor the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate to the infilled concrete, so that the steel shell structure and the infilled concrete are combined into a steel-concrete composite plate with coordinated deformation and common force sharing.

[0010] As a further preference, the total thickness of the steel shell structure is 8 - 12 cm, and the thicknesses of the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate are not greater than 1 / 8 of the thickness of the steel shell structure.

The intermediate insertion plate assembly is used to connect the specified number of the core bar reinforcements at the two transverse ends of the steel shell structure, and the intermediate connection plate is used to connect two adjacent intermediate insertion plate assemblies. In this way, the connection between the intermediate insertion plate and the infilled concrete is enhanced, enabling the intermediate insertion plate and the infilled concrete to form an integral working unit. At the same time, the intermediate insertion plate connects the infilled concretes of adjacent steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structures, converting the connection between concretes into the connection of steel plates and eliminating the weak link of concrete connection.
[0013] As a further preference, the intermediate insertion plate assembly includes a first intermediate insertion plate, a second intermediate insertion plate, and a third intermediate insertion plate arranged in sequence from the transverse center of the steel shell structure towards both ends.

[0015] As a further preference, the plate end connection structure further includes a weld connecting two adjacent upper steel plates and a bottom connection plate connecting two adjacent lower steel plates. The bottom connection plate is fixedly connected to the lower steel plate by second rivets.
[0016] As a further preference, the plate end connection structure further includes an end variable cross-section T-shaped rib. The end variable cross-section T-shaped rib is provided at both ends of the open-hole T-shaped rib and is integrally formed with the open-hole T-shaped rib. The end variable cross-section T-shaped rib is arranged between the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate, and its end is provided with an arc-shaped variable cross-section, so that a cavity is formed between the upper steel plate, the bottom connection plate, and the end variable cross-section T-shaped rib.

[0019] And combinations of any of the above embodiments. According to another aspect of the present invention, a manufacturing method of a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure is further provided, including the following steps:
[0020] Step 1: Weld the perforated T-shaped ribs to the lower surface of the upper steel plate. Weld the perforated T-shaped ribs and the shear studs of the upper steel plate together on the lower surface of the upper steel plate. Pass the core bar through the perforated T-shaped ribs, and fix both ends of the core bar to the outermost perforated T-shaped ribs with bolts.
[0021] Weld the longitudinal and transverse stiffeners to the lower surface of the lower steel plate.
[0022] Drill rivet holes at the positions corresponding to the rivet holes of the T-shaped stiffeners and the positions corresponding to the openings of the bottom connecting plate on the lower steel plate. At the same time, weld the shear studs of the lower steel plate to the upper surface of the lower steel plate. Pre-penetrate pop rivets into the openings at the longitudinal ends of the lower steel plate.
[0023] Place the upper surface of the lower steel plate on the flange plate of the perforated T-shaped ribs welded to the upper steel plate, and rivet the perforated T-shaped ribs and the lower steel plate through the first rivet parts to complete the rigid connection between the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate. The steel shell structure and the longitudinal and transverse stiffeners together form a steel structure component.
[0024] Step 2: Place the steel structure component obliquely with the side having longitudinal and transverse stiffeners facing up. Inject the concrete mixture into the space between two adjacent perforated T-shaped ribs at a specified flow rate. Before injecting the concrete mixture between two adjacent perforated T-shaped ribs, first shape the concrete mixture into a thin-layer flowing concrete with a thickness not greater than the distance between the lower edge of the core bar and the top surface of the upper steel plate. At this time, an exhaust channel is formed between the upper edge of the core bar and the top surface of the lower steel plate. Then, apply a vibration force to the thin-layer flowing concrete to gradually transform the disordered flow state of the thin-layer flowing concrete into an ideal flow state of uniform and stable flow along the inclined slope direction, and flow into the space between two adjacent perforated T-shaped ribs, keeping the exhaust channel unobstructed.
[0025] Step 3: After the thin-layer flowing concrete flows into the space between two adjacent perforated T-shaped ribs in the ideal flow state, continue to apply a vibration force to the thin-layer flowing concrete along the inclined direction to make the flow rate of the concrete mixture equal in each section until the concrete mixture reaches the bottom of the steel shell structure and fills the space between the lower edge of the core bar and the top surface of the upper steel plate.
[0026] Step 4: When the concrete mixture flows to the bottom of the steel shell structure, gradually accumulate and backfill the exhaust channel. As the height of the concrete mixture increases by a specified height from bottom to top, adjust the frequency of the vibration force in the corresponding section, vibrate for a specified time length, and then stop the output of the vibration force in the corresponding section to discharge the internal air bubbles until the concrete mixture fills the entire exhaust channel. Then, cure the concrete mixture to obtain a steel shell concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck unit.
[0027] Step 5: Connect adjacent steel shell concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck units using a plate end connection structure to complete the fabrication of the steel shell concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure.
[0028] As a further preference, step one specifically includes the following steps:
[0029] Weld the perforated T-shaped ribs and the upper steel plate shear studs to the lower surface of the upper steel plate together;
[0030] Pass the core bar through the web round hole, and fix both ends of the core bar to the outermost perforated T-shaped rib with bolts. The core bar is located at the center of the web round hole;
[0031] Weld the intermediate insert plate to the core bar;
[0032] At the positions corresponding to the rivet holes on the lower steel plate and the positions corresponding to the openings on the bottom connecting plate, drill rivet holes. At the same time, weld the second shear studs to the upper surface of the lower steel plate, and pre-penetrate the second rivets into the openings at the longitudinal ends of the lower steel plate to ensure the riveting in the longitudinal connection area;
[0033] Weld the transverse stiffening assembly and the longitudinal stiffening assembly to the lower surface of the lower steel plate;
[0034] Pass the first rivets through the rivet holes and temporarily fix them. Turn the lower steel plate upside down, and pass the rivets through the rivet holes. Complete the rigid connection between the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate through riveting. The steel shell structure and the longitudinal and transverse stiffening ribs jointly form a steel structure assembly.
[0035] As a further preference, in step two and step three, the application method of the exciting force includes:
[0036] Arrange a plurality of vibrators with adjustable frequencies along the transverse bridge and longitudinal bridge directions. Among them, the multi-vibrators in the transverse bridge direction vibrate synchronously, and the multi-vibrators in the longitudinal bridge direction vibrate in a coordinated manner with variable frequencies in different zones. Gradually reduce the vibrator frequency from the bottom to the top, so that the vibrator frequency resonates with the flowing concrete mixture, to stimulate the thixotropic property of the flowing concrete, overcome the resistance of the first shear studs, make the flow velocity of the concrete mixture equal in each section, realize the coordination of the vibration frequency and the flow velocity, and the concrete mixture can flow downward continuously, evenly and stably.
[0037] As a further preference, step five specifically includes the following steps:
[0038] Weld the upper steel plate and the intermediate connecting plate of the adjacent bridge deck plate end connecting assemblies in sequence;
[0039] Adopt cold drawn rivets to connect the bottom connecting plate to complete the connection between the steel structures of the bridge deck;
[0040] Adopt reinforced concrete to pour into the cavity surrounded by the upper steel plate, the intermediate connecting plate and the bottom connecting plate as the support boundary for the out-of-plane deformation of the steel plate.
[0041] Connect the longitudinal and transverse stiffening ribs of the adjacent bridge decks.
[0042] Generally speaking, compared with the prior art, the above technical solution conceived by the present invention mainly has the following technical advantages:
[0043] 1. In the present invention, the upper steel plate of the above steel shell structure bears the tensile stress of the negative bending moment, and the lower steel plate of the steel shell structure bears the tensile stress of the positive bending moment. The filled concrete and the steel shell are stressed in coordination, avoiding the problems that the traditional composite bridge deck is prone to cracking under the action of negative bending moment and the stiffness drops significantly.
[0044] 2. In the steel-concrete composite plate of the present invention, the filled concrete anchors the upper and lower steel plates of the steel shell structure, avoiding the elastic buckling of the upper and lower steel plates. The upper and lower steel plates of the steel shell structure can both reach the yield stress, giving full play to the material performance of the steel shell structure. The thickness of the upper and lower steel plates is not greater than 1 / 8 of the total thickness of the composite plate, saving steel compared with the traditional orthotropic bridge deck; the upper and lower steel plates restrain the concrete, improving the crack resistance strength and crack restraint ability of the concrete, effectively improving the concrete structural performance, and the thickness can be only 1 / 3 - 1 / 4 of the concrete layer of the traditional steel-concrete composite bridge deck, solving the problem of the excessive weight of the traditional steel-concrete composite bridge deck.
[0045] 3. In the present invention, the steel shell and the filled concrete are coordinated in deformation, and the cross-section stress satisfies the plane section assumption. The steel shell-concrete orthotropic composite bridge deck has a large stiffness. The bending stiffness of the 80-mm-thick steel shell-concrete orthotropic composite bridge deck is equivalent to that of a 70-mm-thick steel plate, and the stiffness is 60 times that of the steel top plate of the traditional steel orthotropic bridge deck, greatly improving the stiffness of the top plate. At the same time, without U-rib stiffening, the improvement of its own stiffness and the simplification of the stiffening rib structure solve the fatigue problem of the weld between the stiffening rib and the steel top plate of the steel orthotropic bridge deck.
[0046] 4. The structure of the upper steel plate of the steel shell structure of the present invention with open holes for T-shaped ribs reserved with anchor bolt holes, pre-pierced bolts connected to the lower steel plate, and the manufacturing method of the steel shell structure components of the steel shell-concrete orthotropic composite bridge deck solve the problem of connecting the upper and lower steel plates in a narrow space.
[0047] 5. The pouring method of the filled concrete of the present invention, through the inclined steel shell structure, the concrete can flow naturally. At the same time, through the reasonable arrangement of vibrators, resonance is formed with the filled concrete, giving full play to its thixotropic performance, significantly enhancing the fluidity of the concrete, and solving the problem of concrete pouring in a narrow space.
[0048] 6. The connection structure of adjacent composite plate units provided by the present invention converts the connection of concrete into the connection of steel plates, not only solving the problem of connecting concrete in a narrow space, but also making the connection strength between the filled concretes higher than that of the filled concrete itself, eliminating the weak link of concrete connection.
[0049] 7. All the steel shell structure components of the present invention and the pouring of the filled concrete are carried out in the factory, with a high degree of mechanization, less manual input, and easy environmental protection control.
[0050] 8. When the present invention is installed, the T-shaped steel transverse ribs on the lower steel plate are riveted or bolted to the steel beam to complete the connection with the steel beam; the adjacent upper steel plates are welded, and the bottom connection steel plates are connected by bolts or cold-drawn rivets to complete the connection between the bridge decks. All connections are mechanical connections; during maintenance, only the mechanical connections between the bridge deck and the steel beam and between the bridge decks need to be released, and the damaged components can be replaced. The modular installation and disassembly of the bridge deck are realized, and the construction efficiency and maintenance efficiency are improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manners
[0066] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer and more understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

In addition, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0067] As Figures 1 to 6As shown in the figure, a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a plurality of steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck units. Each steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck unit includes: a steel shell structure 100, an in-filled concrete 300 provided inside the steel shell structure 100, longitudinal and transverse stiffeners 200 provided at the bottom of the steel shell structure 100, and a plate end connection structure 400 connecting adjacent steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck units. Among them, the steel shell structure 100 includes an upper steel plate 101, a lower steel plate 102 arranged in parallel, and a plurality of core bar steels 105 arranged in parallel. A plurality of perforated T-shaped ribs 103 arranged parallel to the longitudinal direction of the bridge deck are provided between the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102. The core bar steels 105 are arranged through the perforated T-shaped ribs 103. The steel shell structure 100 further includes a plurality of shear stud assemblies 104 for anchoring the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102 to the in-filled concrete 300. The perforated T-shaped rib web 103-1 of the T-shaped stiffener 103 is welded to the upper steel plate 101, and the flange plate 103-3 is riveted to the lower steel plate 102, so that the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102 attached with the shear stud assemblies 104 are connected into a steel shell structure 100 that can jointly bear force in a narrow space. The reinforced concrete tenon formed by the perforated T-shaped ribs 103 and the core bar steels 105 and the shear stud assemblies 104 anchor the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102 to the in-filled concrete 300, so that the steel shell structure 100 and the in-filled concrete 300 are combined into a steel shell-concrete composite plate with coordinated deformation and joint force. In this embodiment, the upper and lower steel plates attached with shear studs are connected into a steel shell structure assembly that can jointly bear force in a narrow space; the reinforced concrete tenon formed by the perforated T-shaped ribs and the core bar steels and the shear studs anchor the upper and lower steel plates to the in-filled concrete. The T-shaped stiffeners reduce the free plate widths of the upper and lower steel plates and jointly form a strong constraint on the upper and lower steel plates with the shear studs, ensuring that the upper and lower steel plates do not undergo elastic buckling before tensile and compressive yielding, and enabling the material properties of the upper and lower steel plates in the structure to be fully exerted; the steel shell structure strongly constrains the in-filled concrete through a closed space, reinforced concrete tenons and shear studs, improves its crack resistance and crack constraint ability, effectively improves the performance of the concrete structure, and combines the steel shell structure assembly with the in-filled concrete into a steel shell-concrete composite plate with coordinated deformation and joint force.
[0068] Based on the above embodiment, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the steel shell structure 100 further includes a plurality of shear stud assemblies 104 for anchoring the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102 to the in-filled concrete 300. The shear stud assemblies 104 are used to bear part of the shear force between the upper steel plate 101, the lower steel plate 102, and the in-filled concrete 300.
[0069] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments or a combination of multiple embodiments, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the perforated T-shaped rib 103 includes a perforated T-shaped rib web 103-1 and a perforated T-shaped rib flange plate that are integrally formed. A web circular hole 103-2 for accommodating the core bar 105 to pass through is provided on the perforated T-shaped rib web 103-1. The perforated T-shaped rib panel and the lower steel plate 102 are fixedly connected by a first rivet 106.
[0070] Based on the above-mentioned embodiments or a combination of multiple embodiments, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both ends of the core bar 105 are fixed to the perforated T-shaped rib web 103-1 at the transverse end of the bridge deck by bolts.
[0071] That is, in the present invention, the internal filling concrete 300 is densely poured into the steel shell structure 100. The perforated T-shaped rib 103, the core bar 105 and the internal filling concrete 300 jointly form a reinforced concrete tenon 301, which is used to ensure that the steel shell structure 100 and the internal filling concrete 300 cooperate to bear external loads. The shear studs 104 anchor the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102 into the internal filling concrete 300 and bear part of the shear force between the upper and lower steel plates and the internal filling concrete 300. The perforated T-shaped rib 103 reduces the free plate width of the upper and lower steel plates. The internal filling concrete 300 strongly restrains the perforated T-shaped rib 103 to prevent it from buckling, and jointly forms a strong restraint on the upper and lower steel plates with the shear studs 104, ensuring that the upper and lower steel plates do not undergo elastic buckling before tensile and compressive yielding, and enabling the material properties of the upper and lower steel plates in the structure to be fully exerted. The steel shell structure 100 strongly restrains the internal filling concrete 300 through the closed space, the reinforced concrete tenon 301 and the shear studs 104, improves its crack resistance and crack restraint ability, and effectively improves the performance of the concrete structure.

The longitudinal and transverse stiffeners (201, 202) further enhance the stiffness of the steel shell-concrete composite plate. Since the heights and stiffnesses of the longitudinal and transverse stiffeners (201, 202) can be set respectively, the steel shell-concrete composite plate strengthened by them has different stiffnesses along the longitudinal and transverse directions, thus forming a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure.
[0080] As Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 shown, according to another aspect of the present invention, a manufacturing method of a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure with strong mutual constraints between steel and concrete is also provided, including the following steps:
[0081] Step 1, preparation of steel structure components.
[0082] Weld the perforated T-shaped rib 103 to the lower surface of the upper steel plate 101, weld the perforated T-shaped rib 103 and the upper steel plate shear stud 104-1 together to the lower surface of the upper steel plate 101, pass the core bar 105 through the perforated T-shaped rib 103, and fix both ends of the core bar 105 to the outermost perforated T-shaped rib 103 with bolts; weld the longitudinal and transverse stiffeners 200 to the lower surface of the lower steel plate 102; weld the shear stud assemblies 104 to the lower surface of the upper steel plate 101 and the upper surface of the lower steel plate 102 respectively; place the upper surface of the lower steel plate 102 on the flange plate of the upper steel plate 101 welded with the perforated T-shaped rib 103, and rivet the perforated T-shaped rib 103 and the lower steel plate 102 through the first rivet 106 to complete the rigid connection between the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102. The steel shell structure 100 and the longitudinal and transverse stiffeners 200 together form a steel structure assembly.
[0083] Specifically:
[0084] (11) Weld the perforated T-shaped rib 103 and the upper steel plate shear stud 104-1 together to the lower surface of the upper steel plate 101;
[0085] (12) Pass the core bar 105 through the web round hole 103-2, fix both ends of the core bar 105 to the outermost perforated T-shaped rib 103 with bolts, and the core bar 105 is located at the center of the web round hole 103-2;
[0086] (13) Weld the intermediate insert plate 402 to the core bar 105;
[0087] (14) At the positions corresponding to the first rivet holes 103-4 on the lower steel plate 102 and the openings of the bottom connecting plate 405, drill rivet holes. At the same time, weld the second shear stud 104-2 to the upper surface of the lower steel plate 102, and pre-penetrate the second rivet 407 into the openings at the longitudinal ends of the lower steel plate 102 to ensure the riveting in the longitudinal connection area;
[0088] (15) Weld the transverse stiffening assembly 201 and the longitudinal stiffening assembly 202 to the lower surface of the lower steel plate 102;
[0089] (16) Pass the first rivet 106 through the first rivet hole 103-4 and temporarily fix it, turn the lower steel plate 102 upside down, and pass the rivet 106 through the second rivet hole 102-1. Complete the rigid connection between the upper steel plate 101 and the lower steel plate 102 through riveting. The steel shell structure 100 and the longitudinal and transverse stiffeners 200 together form a steel structure assembly.
[0090] Step 2: Pouring the concrete filled inside. Place the steel structure component in an inclined position, with the side having longitudinal and transverse stiffeners 200 facing upward, and the core bar 105 parallel to the horizontal plane. Inject the concrete mixture 506 between two adjacent perforated T-shaped ribs 103 at a specified flow rate. Before injecting the concrete mixture 506 between two adjacent perforated T-shaped ribs 103, first shape the concrete mixture 506 into a thin-layer flowing concrete with a thickness not greater than the distance between the lower edge of the core bar 105 and the top surface of the upper steel plate 101. At this time, an exhaust channel 507 is formed between the upper edge of the core bar 105 and the top surface of the lower steel plate 102. Then, apply a vibration force to the thin-layer flowing concrete so that the thin-layer flowing concrete gradually transforms from a disordered flow state to an ideal flow state of uniform and stable flow along the inclined slope direction and flows into the space between two adjacent perforated T-shaped ribs 103, keeping the exhaust channel 507 unobstructed. After the thin-layer flowing concrete flows into the space between two adjacent perforated T-shaped ribs 103 in the ideal flow state, continue to apply a vibration force to the thin-layer flowing concrete along the inclined direction so that the flow rates of the concrete mixture 506 in each section are equal until the concrete mixture 506 reaches the bottom of the steel shell structure 100 and fills the space between the lower edge of the core bar 105 and the top surface of the upper steel plate 101. When the concrete mixture 506 flows to the bottom of the steel shell structure 100, it gradually accumulates and backfills the exhaust channel 507. As the height of the concrete mixture 506 increases by a specified height from bottom to top, increase the frequency of the vibration force in the corresponding section, vibrate for a specified time length, and then stop the output of the vibration force in the corresponding section to discharge the internal air bubbles until the concrete mixture 506 fills the entire exhaust channel 507. Then, cure the concrete mixture 506 to obtain a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck unit.
[0091] Specifically, this step includes:
[0092] (21) Place the steel structure component on an inclined support, with the upper steel plate at the bottom and the T-shaped stiffeners at the top. Connect a feeding hopper 501, a shaping feeding section 502, a transition section 504, and the steel structure component in sequence from top to bottom. After the concrete mixture 506 enters the feeding hopper 501, control the flow rate through the regulating valve plate 503, flow through the shaping feeding section 502, shape the concrete mixture 506 entering the feeding hopper in batches into a thin-layer flowing concrete with a thickness not greater than the distance between the lower edge of the core bar 105 and the top surface of the upper steel plate 101, and flow into the transition section 504 naturally along the inclined slope.
[0093] (22) High-frequency vibration units are arranged in the transition section. After the concrete mixture 506 enters the transition section 504, under the combined action of gravity and the exciting force of the external vibration unit 505, it overcomes the resistance of the upper steel plate shear studs 104-1 and continues to flow, and gradually transforms the thin-layer flowing concrete from a disordered flow state into an ideal flow state of uniform and stable flow along the inclined slope direction, and keeps the exhaust channel 507 between the concrete mixture 506 and the bottom steel plate 102 unobstructed;
[0094] (23) The concrete mixture enters the inside of the steel shell structure 100 in an ideal flow state. Vibration units 505 are arranged at the bottom of the upper steel plate 101. The arrangement method of the external vibration unit 505 is: synchronous multi-vibration units horizontally and coordinated variable-frequency vibration longitudinally in zones. Gradually reduce the frequency of the external vibration unit 505 from the bottom to the top to resonate with the flowing concrete mixture, stimulate the thixotropic properties of the flowing concrete, overcome the resistance of the upper steel plate shear studs 104-1, make the flow velocity of the concrete mixture 506 equal in each section, realize the coordination of vibration frequency and flow velocity, and the concrete mixture 506 can continuously flow downward evenly and stably until the concrete mixture 506 reaches the bottom of the steel shell structure 100 and fills the space between the lower edge of the core bar 105 and the top surface of the upper steel plate 101. During this process, all external vibration units 505 remain in the open state;
[0095] (24) The concrete mixture 506 flows to the bottom of the steel shell structure 100 and gradually accumulates to backfill the exhaust channel 507. As the liquid level height of the concrete mixture rises by 1 m from bottom to top, the frequency of the external vibration unit 505 in the corresponding section is adjusted to high frequency, and it automatically stops after vibrating for 30 s. Use the high-frequency exciting force to discharge the internal air bubbles to achieve the effect of dense exhaust. As the material surface rises, gradually close the external vibration units 505 from bottom to top;
[0096] (25) Continuously keep the regulating valve 503 open, so that the liquid level of the concrete mixture 506 is gradually backfilled until the transition section 504 is filled. Close all external vibration units 505, remove the transition section 504, pour out the internal concrete mixture to avoid all defects accumulated at the end of the bridge deck, and retain all the concrete mixture 506 in the steel shell structure components; The transition section 504 can be reused after being washed after the production of the steel shell-concrete orthotropic composite bridge deck unit is completed.
[0097] (26) When the concrete age meets the strength requirements for hoisting and demolition, lift the completed cast steel shell-concrete orthotropic composite bridge deck from the casting gantry and enter the curing process.
[0098] Step 3: Connection of adjacent steel shell - concrete orthotropic composite bridge deck units. The plate - end connection structure 400 is used to connect adjacent steel shell - concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck units, completing the fabrication of the steel shell - concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure. Specifically:
[0099] (31) Weld the upper steel plate 101 and the intermediate connecting plate 403 of the adjacent bridge deck plate - end connection components in sequence;
[0100] (32) Use cold - drawn rivets to connect the bottom connecting plate 404 to complete the connection between the steel structures of the bridge deck;
[0101] (33) Pour reinforced concrete 408 into the cavity formed by the upper steel plate 101, the intermediate connecting plate 403, and the bottom connecting plate 404 as the support boundary for the out - of - plane deformation of the steel plate.
[0102] (34) Connect the longitudinal and transverse stiffeners of adjacent bridge decks.
[0103] Thus, the connection of the bridge deck units is completed, and the fabrication of the bridge deck is completed.
[0104] Based on the above - mentioned embodiment or a combination of multiple embodiments, according to another aspect of the present invention, there is also provided a concrete pouring device 500 for fabricating a steel shell - concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure, which includes:
[0105] A support base with an inclined top surface;
[0106] A plurality of external vibration units 505 arranged along the inclined surface and fixedly provided on the support base. The plurality of external vibration units 505 are arranged in parallel in the horizontal direction. Each external vibration unit 505 includes a jig 505 - 1 provided on the support base and a plurality of vibrators 505 - 2 provided at the bottom of the jig 505 - 1. The plurality of vibrators 505 - 2 are arranged at intervals in the transverse direction of the jig 505 - 1;
[0107] A transition section 504 provided at the top of the support base and connected to the top surface of the jig 505 - 1. The transition section 504 includes a shell with a hollow structure inside. The top surface of the shell is a transition section transparent top plate 504 - 1 for observing the flow state of the internal concrete mixture 506 in real - time. A shear stud assembly 104 and a core bar 105 that are the same as and corresponding to the internal structure of the steel shell structure 100 are provided inside the hollow structure of the shell;
[0108] A feeding hopper 501 provided at the top of the transition section 504. A regulating valve plate 503 is provided at the bottom of the feeding hopper 501;
[0109] A shaping feeding section 502 provided between the feeding hopper 501 and the transition section 504.
[0110] In the above embodiments, the transition section 504 has the same structure as the steel shell structure 100. The difference is that the steel shell structure 100 is composed of an upper steel plate and a lower steel plate to form a shell structure, while the transition section 504 is composed of a transition section transparent top plate 504-1 and a transition section bottom plate 504-2 to form a shell structure, and the internal structures of the shell structures are the same. Moreover, the top and bottom ends of this transition section are respectively connected to the shaping and blanking section of the blanking hopper and the steel shell structure by means of a quick-release device. Inside the transition section, the same slurry blockers as in the steel shell structure are provided, namely shear studs and core bar reinforcements; outside the transition section, the same external vibration unit layout method as at the bottom of the steel shell structure is adopted. The top surface of the transition section is sealed with a transition section transparent top plate for real-time observation of the flow state of the internal concrete mixture.
[0111] Based on the above embodiments or a combination of multiple embodiments, a plurality of vibrators (505-2) of the concrete pouring device 500 are arranged in the transverse bridge and longitudinal bridge directions. Among them, the multi-vibrators 505-2 in the transverse bridge direction vibrate synchronously, and the multi-vibrators 505-2 in the longitudinal bridge direction vibrate in a zone-varying frequency coordination manner. The frequency of the vibrators 505-2 gradually decreases from the bottom to the top, so that the frequency of the vibrators 505-2 resonates with the flowing concrete mixture to stimulate the thixotropic property of the flowing concrete, overcome the resistance of the first shear stud 104-1, make the flow velocity of the concrete mixture 506 equal in each section, realize the coordination of the vibration frequency and the flow velocity, and the concrete mixture 506 can flow downward continuously, evenly and stably.
[0112] Based on the above embodiments or a combination of multiple embodiments, according to another aspect of the present invention, a working method of a concrete pouring device 500 for manufacturing a steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck structure is further provided.
[0113] It includes the following steps:
[0114] Step 1: The concrete mixture 506 placed in the blanking hopper 501 flows into the shaping and blanking section 502 at a specified flow velocity. The vibrator 505-2 at the bottom of the shaping and blanking section 502 applies an exciting force to the concrete mixture 506 to shape the concrete mixture 506 into a specified thickness. Specifically, the steel structure components are placed on the inclined brackets, with the upper steel plate at the bottom and the T-shaped stiffener at the top. The blanking hopper 501, the shaping and blanking section 502, the transition section 504 and the steel structure components are connected in sequence from top to bottom. After the concrete mixture 506 enters the blanking hopper 501, the flow rate is controlled by the regulating valve plate 503, flows through the shaping and blanking section 502, and the concrete mixture 506 entering the blanking hopper in batches is shaped into a thin-layer flowing concrete with a thickness not greater than the distance between the lower edge of the core bar reinforcement 105 and the top surface of the upper steel plate 101, and naturally flows into the transition section 504 along the inclined slope.
[0115] Step 2: The concrete mixture 506 with a specified thickness enters the transition section 504. The vibrator 505-2 at the bottom of the transition section 504 applies an exciting force to the concrete mixture 506. Under the combined action of gravity and the exciting force, the concrete mixture 506 with a specified thickness gradually transforms from a disordered flow state to an ideal flow state of uniform and stable flow along the inclined slope direction. During this process, the exhaust channel 507 is kept unobstructed. Specifically, high-frequency vibration units are arranged in the transition section. After the concrete mixture 506 enters the transition section 504, under the combined action of gravity and the exciting force of the external vibration unit 505, it continues to flow by overcoming the resistance of the shear studs 104-1, and the thin-layer flowing concrete gradually transforms from a disordered flow state to an ideal flow state of uniform and stable flow along the inclined slope direction, and the exhaust channel 507 between the concrete mixture 506 and the bottom steel plate 102 is kept unobstructed.
[0116] Step 3: The concrete mixture 506 in the ideal flow state flows into the steel shell structure 100 provided at the bottom end of the transition section 504. The vibrator 505-2 on the bottom surface of the steel shell structure 100 applies an exciting force to the concrete mixture 506 along the inclined direction, so that the flow velocities of the concrete mixture 506 in each section of the steel shell structure 100 are equal until the concrete mixture 506 reaches the bottom of the steel shell structure 100 and fills the space between the lower edge of the core bar 105 and the top surface of the upper steel plate 101. Specifically, the concrete mixture enters the steel shell structure 100 in the ideal flow state. External vibration units 505 are arranged at the bottom of the upper steel plate 101. The arrangement method of the external vibration units 505 is as follows: multiple vibration units in the transverse direction are synchronized, and the vibration frequencies in the longitudinal direction are changed in different zones and coordinated. The frequency of the external vibration units 505 gradually decreases from the bottom to the top, so as to resonate with the flowing concrete mixture, stimulate the thixotropic properties of the flowing concrete, overcome the resistance of the shear studs 104-1 on the upper steel plate, make the flow velocities of the concrete mixture 506 in each section equal, and achieve the coordination of the vibration frequency and the flow velocity. The concrete mixture 506 can continuously flow downward evenly and stably until the concrete mixture 506 reaches the bottom of the steel shell structure 100 and fills the space between the lower edge of the core bar 105 and the top surface of the upper steel plate 101. During this process, all the external vibration units 505 remain in the open state.
[0117] Step 4: The concrete mixture 506 flows to the bottom of the steel shell structure 100 and gradually accumulates to backfill the exhaust channel 507. As the height of the concrete mixture 506 increases by a specified height from bottom to top, the frequency of the vibration force in the corresponding section is adjusted upward. After vibrating for a specified time length, the output of the vibration force in the corresponding section is stopped to discharge the internal air bubbles until the concrete mixture 506 fills the transition section 504, and then the vibrator 505-2 is turned off. Specifically, the concrete mixture 506 flows to the bottom of the steel shell structure 100 and gradually accumulates to backfill the exhaust channel 507. As the liquid level height of the concrete mixture increases by 1 m from bottom to top, the frequency of the external vibration unit 505 in the corresponding section is adjusted to a high frequency. After vibrating for 30 s, it automatically stops, and the internal air bubbles are discharged with the high-frequency vibration force to achieve the effect of dense exhaust. As the material surface rises, the external vibration units 505 are gradually turned off from bottom to top; continuously keep the regulating valve 503 open to gradually backfill the liquid level of the concrete mixture 506 until it fills the transition section 504. Then, all the external vibration units 505 are turned off, the transition section 504 is removed, and the internal concrete mixture is poured out to avoid all the defects accumulated at the end of the bridge deck, and all the concrete mixture 506 in the steel shell structure assembly is retained; the transition section 504 can be reused after being rinsed after the production of the steel shell-concrete orthotropic composite bridge deck unit.
[0118] In this embodiment, the stiffness of the steel shell-concrete composite orthotropic bridge deck is 60 times that of the steel top plate of the traditional steel orthotropic bridge deck, which solves the fatigue problem of the weld between the stiffening rib and the steel top plate of the steel orthotropic bridge deck. At the same time, it avoids the problem that the traditional composite bridge deck is prone to cracking under negative bending moment and the stiffness drops significantly, gives full play to the performance of the steel shell and concrete, and solves the problem of excessive weight of the traditional steel-concrete composite bridge deck.
