[0002] Bridges are structures used to cross waterways or other obstacles, enabling vehicles, pedestrians, or other modes of transportation to pass safely. The construction of bridges provides modern society with high-speed and convenient transportation. However, in actual use, the piers supporting bridges often shift due to natural disasters, fatigue, or other factors. In such cases, it is necessary to dismantle the piers, the cap beams above them, and the tie beams in the middle of the piers. Current technology typically involves drilling holes in the piers and then cutting them with a cutting machine. This method is not suitable for dismantling large bridge piers, nor can it remove the cap beams above the piers or the tie beams in the middle of the piers.

[0008] S2. Workers first used a wire saw to remove the rubber supports on the upper part of the cap beam on the construction platform. The upper pad stone was then directly cut and removed with the wire saw. The debris was then transferred to the ground. The cap beam was cut to a thickness of 30cm, with each piece measuring 2.3m. 1.6m The cap beams are cut to a length of 0.3m. The cut cap beams are collected using a collection mechanism and dragged to the outside of the cap beams. They are then transported to the ground by a truck crane.

[0009] S3. After the cap beam is cut, lower the height of the construction platform and use a wire saw to start cutting the pier columns on the upper part of the tie beam. Transfer the cut concrete blocks to the collection mechanism on the construction platform in 30cm thicknesses, and then transport them to the ground by a truck crane.

[0010] S4. After the pier columns on the upper part of the tie beam are cut, the construction platform continues to be lowered. The construction workers use a wire saw to cut the tie beam to a thickness of 30cm. The cut concrete blocks are collected by a collection mechanism and transported to the ground by a truck crane.

[0011] S5. After the tie beam is cut, the construction platform continues to lower its height to cut the pier columns under the tie beam. The pier columns under the tie beam are cut layer by layer with a thickness of 30cm and collected. The construction platform is then dismantled after all the cutting is completed.

[0012] Furthermore, the construction platform includes: a base plate, a hydraulic telescopic rod A, a rotating rod A, a rotating rod B, and a top plate; the hydraulic telescopic rod A is installed on the base plate, one end of the rotating rod A is rotatably connected to the base plate and the other end is rotatably connected to the top plate, one end of the rotating rod B is rotatably connected to the base plate and the other end is rotatably connected to the top plate, one side of the rotating rod A is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating rod B, the output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod A is rotatably connected to a groove opened on the rotating rod A, and the collecting mechanism is installed on the top plate.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] Please see the appendix Figure 1-5 This invention provides a method for dismantling bridge piers, cap beams, and tie beams located within the slip zone of a slope, comprising the following steps:

[0028] S1. First, level the slope and install concrete steel columns on both sides of the pier columns to be demolished to provide temporary support for the cap beam. After the concrete steel columns are installed, build a construction platform. To ensure the stability of the construction platform, the leveled slope should be hardened. Steel tie beams can also be installed between multiple concrete steel columns to strengthen the support.

[0029] S2. Workers first used a wire saw to remove the rubber supports on the upper part of the cap beam on the construction platform. The upper pad stone was also directly cut and removed with a wire saw. The debris was then transferred to the ground. The cap beam was cut to a thickness of 30cm, with each piece measuring 2.3m. 1.6m The concrete cap beams are cut to a length of 0.3m. The cut cap beams are collected using a collection mechanism and dragged to the outside of the cap beams. They are then transported to the ground by a truck crane. The rubber supports and pad stones on the top of the concrete cap beams are cleaned up. After the construction waste is transferred to the ground, the cap beams are dismantled.

[0030] S3. After the cap beam is cut, lower the height of the construction platform and use a wire saw to start cutting the pier columns on the upper part of the tie beam. Transfer the cut concrete blocks to the collection mechanism on the construction platform in 30cm thicknesses, and then transport them to the ground by a truck crane.

[0031] S4. After the pier columns on the upper part of the tie beam are cut, the construction platform continues to be lowered. The construction workers use a wire saw to cut the tie beam to a thickness of 30cm. The cut concrete blocks are collected by a collection mechanism and transported to the ground by a truck crane. If the block diameter is too large after cutting, it can be cut into smaller pieces from the middle part.

[0032] S5. After the tie beam is cut, the construction platform continues to lower its height to cut the pier columns under the tie beam. The pier columns under the tie beam are cut layer by layer with a thickness of 30cm and collected. The construction platform is then dismantled after all the cutting is completed.

[0033] The construction platform includes: a base plate 1, a hydraulic telescopic rod A2, a rotating rod A3, a rotating rod B4, and a top plate 5. The hydraulic telescopic rod A2 is mounted on the base plate 1. One end of the rotating rod A3 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top plate 5. One end of the rotating rod B4 is rotatably connected to the base plate 1, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top plate 5. One side of the rotating rod A3 is rotatably connected to one side of the rotating rod B4. The output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod A2 is rotatably connected to a groove on the rotating rod A3. The collection mechanism is mounted on the top plate 5. The top plate 5 extends laterally to the outside of the bridge, allowing space for the truck crane to lift the demolition debris to the ground for cleaning off the site. Simultaneously, the construction platform also serves as a platform for placing the demolition equipment and facilitating movement of personnel. After the concrete cap beam is demolished, all loose debris on the platform is promptly cleaned up.

[0034] A rotating plate 6 is rotatably connected to one side of the top plate 5 at intervals, and a vertical plate 7 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 5 at intervals. A hydraulic telescopic rod B8 is installed inside the vertical plate 7. The output end of the hydraulic telescopic rod B8 is connected to a slider A9. The slider A9 is rotatably connected to one end of a support rod 10, and the other end of the support rod 10 is rotatably connected to a slider B11. The slider B11 is slidably connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 6. Due to the limited space between the bridge pier columns, the crane cannot raise the hook into the column. To solve the space limitation problem, this invention uses a rotating plate 6, which is rotatably connected between two adjacent bridge pier columns. Guardrails can also be installed around the top plate 5 to ensure the safety of construction personnel.

[0035] The collection mechanism includes: a manual hydraulic trolley 13, a hydraulic cylinder 14, a material tray 15, and a waste hopper 16; both the top plate 5 and the rotating plate 6 are provided with track grooves 12, the hydraulic trolley 13 is rotatably connected to the top plate 5 through the track grooves 12, the hydraulic cylinder 14 is installed on the hydraulic trolley 13, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 14 is connected to the material tray 15, the waste hopper 16 is placed in the material tray 15, and the height of the waste hopper 16 is adjusted by the hydraulic cylinder 14 to prevent the cut concrete blocks from bouncing to the ground and causing danger due to the large drop.

[0036] When cutting the cap beam, first cut the wedge-shaped part at the left end of the cap beam. Transfer the cut concrete blocks to the waste hopper 16, and then use a truck crane to move the waste hopper 16 to the ground. The concrete blocks are cut to a thickness of 30cm, and the cutting is carried out from both sides towards the middle. Because the wedge-shaped cap beam is located at a high position, temporary supports can be made on site to ensure construction safety.

[0037] This invention has a simple structure. First, the slope is leveled, and concrete steel columns are installed on both sides of the pier columns to be demolished to provide temporary support for the cap beam. After the concrete steel columns are installed, a construction platform is built. To ensure the stability of the construction platform, the leveled slope should be hardened. Steel tie beams can also be installed between multiple concrete steel columns to strengthen the support. At this time, the rotating plate 6 is located between two adjacent pier columns. The hydraulic telescopic rod A is activated to raise the top plate 5 until the waste hopper 16 is close enough to the cap beam. Workers on the construction platform first use a wire saw to remove the rubber supports on the upper part of the cap beam. The upper pad stones are also directly cut and removed with a wire saw. The waste falls into the waste hopper. The manual hydraulic trolley 13 is pulled out, and the waste hopper 16 is lifted to the ground by a truck crane for transfer. The cap beam is cut to a thickness of 30cm, with each piece measuring 2.3m. 1.6m The cap beams are cut to a length of 0.3m. The cut cap beams are collected in waste hopper 16 and dragged to the outside of the cap beams. They are then transported to the ground by a truck crane. The rubber supports and pad stones on the top of the concrete cap beams are cleaned up. After the construction waste is transferred to the ground, the cap beams are dismantled. After the cap beam is cut, the height of the construction platform is lowered, and the upper pier columns of the tie beam are cut using a wire saw. The cut concrete blocks are transferred to the waste hopper 16 on the construction platform in 30cm thicknesses and then transported to the ground by a truck crane. After the upper pier columns of the tie beam are cut, the construction platform is lowered again, and the construction workers cut the tie beam with a wire saw to a thickness of 30cm. The cut concrete blocks are collected by a collection mechanism and transported to the ground by a truck crane. If the diameter of the cut blocks is too large, they can be further cut into smaller pieces from the middle. After the tie beam is cut, the construction platform is lowered again to cut the lower pier columns of the tie beam. The lower pier columns of the tie beam are cut layer by layer in 30cm thicknesses and collected. The cutting is continued until all the cutting is completed, and the construction platform is dismantled. This invention has the advantages of fast dismantling speed, safe and reliable dismantling method, no need for large dismantling equipment, and simultaneous dismantling of multiple pier columns.
