Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bridge construction, and in particular to a mid-span closure construction method. Background Art

[0002] A cable-stayed bridge, as the name implies, is a bridge that is diagonally tensioned with at least one end of the cable hanging the main beam and the other end or the middle fastened to the cable tower. A cable-stayed bridge is a bridge whose deck system is under compression and whose supporting system is under tension. The deck system of a cable-stayed bridge is composed of stiffening beams, and the supporting system is composed of cable-stayed cables. The stiffening beams are hoisted and hung on the cable towers through the cable-stayed cables, thereby providing sufficient support. It is also beautiful enough and gradually becomes popular. The stiffening beam or main beam is one of the main supporting structures of a cable-stayed bridge, and is formed by connecting multiple beam sections one by one. Usually, the installation order of multiple beam sections is one-way installation one by one, or the two ends are connected to the middle and jointed in the middle. The latter installation order is greatly affected by environmental factors, including wind vibration, temperature, water level, weather, etc. Combined with the specific construction conditions, the existing jointing method often requires a lot of observation and adjustment, which prolongs the construction period.

[0014] Furthermore, in step S1, when summarizing the temperature curve, the pouring state of the side span concrete is observed, and the relationship between the concrete and the temperature change curve is recorded to determine the time when the concrete pouring is completed.

[0015] Furthermore, step S3 also includes welding the tie plate in the steel shell formwork to the embedded steel plate of one side span, and immediately locking the other side at the lowest temperature of the day, with the height of the joint weld being no less than 8 mm.

[0017] Furthermore, in step S4, the pouring speed of concrete is controlled to be 8-12 m / h. 3 , and determine the pouring time according to the pouring speed, so that the concrete pouring is completed before the end of the low temperature period.

[0018] Furthermore, in step S6, before tensioning, the cantilever section of the box girder is covered and water is sprinkled to reduce the temperature difference of the box girder cantilever due to sunlight, and prestressing construction is carried out when the concrete strength and elastic modulus of the joint section reach 100% of the design value and the concrete age is not less than 5 days.

[0019] Furthermore, before step S6, ordinary steel bars are processed and formed on the ground, transported to the joint section for binding and installation, and the installation position of the rigid frame is reserved during binding, and additional binding is performed after the rigid frame is locked.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-Figure 3 , a mid-span closure construction method, comprising the following steps:

[0029] S1: Construction preparation: After the side span concrete strength reaches the design value, the elastic modulus reaches the design value, and the age is not less than 7 days, install the joint support, record the temperature data of each day within the side span concrete strength age, and summarize the temperature data into a temperature curve for each day, count the low temperature intervals of each day, and take the intersection of the low temperature intervals to determine the pouring time;

[0032] S4: pouring concrete of the middle span closure section during the period of the day when the temperature is the lowest;

[0033] S5: When the concrete strength and elastic modulus of the section to be closed reach the design value, the top and bottom forces of the beams on both sides of the middle span closure section are unloaded to release the temporary locking rigidity;

[0035] In other preferred embodiments, step S1 further includes temporarily connecting the cantilever end with the cast-in-place section of equal height of the side span, moving the hanging baskets of the cantilever ends on both sides forward by one segment respectively, using the hanging baskets as the joint closure bracket, installing the external support of the joint closure section and temporarily tensioning it to lock the joint closure bracket; during the construction of the joint closure section, the loading of each cantilever at the beam end is as symmetrical and balanced as possible. Before the joint closure, the cantilever is mainly subjected to bending moment, so the balance design follows the principle of bending moment balance at the pier position, and the following construction loads are considered in the balance design:

[0036] ① The deadweight of the closure hanger and the load acting on the closure hanger before concrete pouring.

[0037] ② Load acting directly on the cantilever.

[0038] ③ The concrete weight of the joint section. The balancing weight is added to the corresponding cantilever end before the joint is locked, which can make the frame "immobile" after the joint is locked, avoiding shear damage at the weak point.

[0039] In other preferred embodiments, step S1 also includes, when summarizing the temperature curve, observing the pouring status of the side span concrete, and recording the relationship between the concrete and the temperature change curve to determine the time when the concrete pouring is completed, that is, determining the coagulation state of the side span concrete under the local environment and the coagulation state of each temperature node adjacent to the low temperature, and selecting the ambient temperature when the coagulation state is optimal as the completion time of the pouring.

[0040] In other preferred embodiments, step S3 also includes welding the tie plate in the steel shell formwork to the embedded steel plate of one side span, and immediately locking the other side at the lowest temperature of the day, and the height of the joint weld is not less than 8 mm.

[0041] In other preferred embodiments, step S3 also includes that the steel shell formwork is suspended by a hanger system, the steel shell formwork and the concrete are cast as a whole, the steel shell formwork uses special weathering steel plates as outer molds, the special steel plates are 12 mm thick, and are retained with the concrete after pouring, thereby eliminating the impact of removing the bracket or hanger on the railway.

[0042] In other preferred embodiments, in step S4, the pouring speed of concrete is controlled to be 8-12 m / h. 3 , and determine the pouring time according to the pouring speed, so that the concrete pouring is completed before the end of the low temperature period.

[0043] In other preferred embodiments, in step S6, before tensioning, the cantilever section of the box girder is covered and water is sprinkled to cool it down so as to reduce the solar temperature difference of the box girder cantilever. The concrete strength and elastic modulus of the joint section to be closed reach 100% of the design value, and the prestressing construction is carried out when the concrete age is not less than 5 days.

[0044] In other preferred embodiments, before step S6, ordinary steel bars are processed and formed on the ground, transported to the joint section for binding and installation, and the installation position of the rigid frame is reserved during binding, and additional binding is performed after the rigid frame is locked.

[0045] The above description is only a preferred specific implementation manner of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes according to the technical scheme and inventive concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
