Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bridge construction, and in particular to a componentized construction method for an offshore cable tower. Background Art

[0002] Cable towers are important load-bearing structures for cable-stayed bridges and suspension bridges. The main function of cable towers is to support and transfer the loads from the bridge deck and cable net, and to transfer the vertical loads generated by the bridge deck and the tension from the cables to the foundation to ensure the stability and safety of the bridge. The height of the cable tower is usually related to the main span of the bridge. The ratio of the maximum span of the main beam to the height of the cable tower is generally 3.1-6.3, with an average of about 5.0.

[0003] There are many types of cable tower structures, one of which is a portal cable tower. The upper and lower beams are set between the tower columns of this type of cable tower to form a portal frame structure. The crossbeam construction can adopt the cast-in-place method of brackets. The cast-in-place method of brackets is a method of setting up brackets on the bridge position and completing the processes of supporting formwork, tying steel bars, pouring concrete, and prestressing on the brackets to build continuous beams. In the process of using the cast-in-place method of brackets for crossbeam construction, the support system of the brackets often includes ground-mounted steel pipe brackets and suspended pre-buried brackets. On the one hand, as the span of the bridge increases, the cable towers are getting higher and higher, which makes the ground-mounted steel pipe brackets have problems such as poor stability, large construction consumables, long construction period, and difficult removal and turnover. On the other hand, although the suspended pre-buried bracket can make full use of the completed structure as a load-bearing structure and save the amount of temporary structural materials, the force of this suspended pre-buried bracket is generally large, and the force conditions at the connection nodes of each pole position of the bracket are more complicated, which is easy to cause instability due to excessive local stress.

[0004] In summary, both traditional construction methods in the prior art consume a large amount of support materials, have many nodes, and the welding quality is difficult to guarantee. They need to be dismantled after the construction is completed. In addition, the risk of high-altitude operations is high, the construction period is long, and the construction cost is high.

[0035] The following will be combined with the attached Figure 1 -Attached Figure 4 The present invention is further illustrated by the following embodiments.

[0036] This embodiment discloses a componentized construction method for an offshore cable tower.

[0037] Reference Figures 1 to 4 The component construction method of offshore cable tower includes the following steps:

[0038] S1: 11 parts processing including crossbeam steel frame 1, tower column steel frame 2, crossbeam reinforcement, tower column reinforcement, inner mold system and bottom mold system.

[0039] S2: Install the tower column steel frame 2 on the tower column of the cable tower.

[0040] S3: Install the assembling bracket 3 on the inner side of the tower column steel frame 2, and sequentially arrange a three-way jack 33 and a shoulder beam 34 on the top of the assembling bracket 3.

[0041] S4: Install the crossbeam steel frame 1 on the shoulder beam 34 of the assembling bracket 3.

[0042] S5: The crossbeam steel frame 1 and the tower column steel frame 2 are joined together, and the three-way jack 33 is removed.

[0043] S6: Remove the assembly bracket 3 to complete the system conversion.

[0044] S7: First pouring.

[0045] S8: Tension some prestressed steel tendons and then carry out the second pouring.

[0046] S9: Tension the remaining prestressed steel strands, remove the formwork, and complete the construction of the tower beams.

[0047] In the above method, the beam steel frame 1, the tower column steel frame 2 and the bottom mold system 11 are processed into a whole in the factory, shipped to the construction site by ship, and hoisted to the designed position as a whole by floating crane. Only one set of assembly brackets 3 is set, which greatly reduces the use of temporary structural materials, makes the force more reasonable, and reduces the difficulty and risk of high-altitude operations.

[0048] Each step in the component construction method of offshore cable towers is as follows:

[0049] S1: The crossbeam steel frame 1, the tower column steel frame 2, the crossbeam steel bars, the tower column steel bars, the inner mold system and the bottom mold system 11 are pre-processed in the factory to form components; wherein the crossbeam steel frame 1 and the tower column steel frame 2 both include a horizontal connection system, a vertical connection system and a chord rod connected to each other, the chord rod includes an upper chord rod 12 and a lower chord rod 13, the horizontal connection system is welded to the chord rod, and the vertical connection system is bolted to the chord rod; the bottom mold system 11 is composed of a steel panel 113, a plurality of ribs 112, a plurality of pads 115 and a plurality of bottom beams 111 from top to bottom. The ribs 112 and the bottom beams 111 are tightened by pads 115, and a plurality of bottom beams 111 are perpendicular to the ribs 112. A plurality of bottom beams 111 are spaced apart along the length direction of the ribs 112. A lower chord 13 of the cross-beam steel frame 1 is provided with a lifting bracket 14. A suspension rod 114 is connected between the lifting bracket 14 of the cross-beam steel frame 1 and the bottom beam 111 of the bottom formwork system 11. The upper end of the suspension rod 114 is anchored to the lifting bracket 14, and the lower end of the suspension rod 114 is anchored to the bottom beam 111, so that the bottom formwork system 11 is connected to the bottom of the cross-beam steel frame 1.

[0050] S2: The crossbeam steel frame 1 and the tower column steel frame 2 are shipped to the construction site by sea, and the tower column steel frame 2 is hoisted onto the installed tower column segment on the cable tower by means of a floating crane, and is welded after being fine-tuned to the designed position; the reserved section steel frame 4 is measured and cut on site, and the reserved section steel frame 4 is welded to the installed tower column steel frame 2, and a stiffening plate is welded at the connection position between the reserved section steel frame 4 and the tower column steel frame 2.

[0051] S3: An assembly bracket 3 is welded on site. The assembly bracket 3 includes a cross bar 31 and a short diagonal bar 32 that are connected to each other. The assembly bracket 3 is then hoisted to the inner side of the tower column steel frame 2 and welded at the designed position. Then, a three-way jack 33 is placed on the cross bar 31 of the assembly bracket 3, and a shoulder beam 34 is installed on the three-way jack 33.

[0052] S4: The beam steel frame 1 is hoisted onto the shoulder beam 34 of the assembly bracket 3 by means of floating crane, and the beam steel frame 1 is fine-tuned to the designed position by means of the three-way jack 33, and then the bottom formwork system 11 is fixed to the tower column by means of a climbing cone.

[0053] S5: The three-way jack 33 is lifted to a certain height, and the cushion block 35 and the unloading block 36 are placed on the crossbar 31 of the assembly bracket 3 in sequence, and then the three-way jack 33 is returned to the top, and then the three-way jack 33 is removed; the distance between the crossbeam steel frame 1 and the reserved section steel frame 4 is measured on site, and the joint section 5 is processed on site, and then the joint section 5 is hoisted between the crossbeam steel frame 1 and the reserved section steel frame 4, and the crossbeam steel frame 1 and the reserved section steel frame 4 are welded into a whole by using the joint section 5 to complete the joint. In the above process, the crossbeam steel frame 1 and the tower column steel frame 2 are jointed by measuring and cutting on site to form the reserved section steel frame 4 and the joint section 5, which greatly improves the installation accuracy.

[0054] S6: Remove the unloading block 36 to disengage the cross beam steel frame 1, then remove the assembly bracket 3, and install the long diagonal rod 6 after the removal is completed to complete the system conversion. In the above process, since the cross beam steel frame 1 and the tower column steel frame 2 serve as the load-bearing structure of the steel bar, formwork and concrete, it is only necessary to further set a set of assembly brackets 3 on the inner side of the tower column steel frame 2 during the installation stage, and there is no need to set up additional floor brackets or suspended pre-buried brackets, thereby greatly reducing the workload of installing and removing brackets, accelerating the construction progress and reducing construction costs.

[0055] S7: Tie the remaining steel bars and prestressed steel strands, install the side formwork for the first time, and pour the first layer of concrete after installation is completed 7.

[0056] S8: After the first layer of concrete 7 reaches the design strength after curing, some prestressed steel strands are tensioned. After the tensioning is completed, the side formwork is installed for the second time. After the installation is completed, the second layer of concrete 8 is poured.

[0057] S9: After the second layer of concrete 8 reaches the design strength, the remaining prestressed steel strands are tensioned, the side formwork, inner formwork system and bottom formwork system are removed, and the construction of the cable tower beam is completed.

[0058] In the remaining embodiments, before S7 (first pouring), it also includes S6.5: structural inspection and reinforcement, that is, after completing the installation of the tower steel skeleton 2, the assembly bracket 3, and the beam steel skeleton 1 and completing the system conversion, all structural components are comprehensively inspected, especially the structural connection parts, the tensioning of the prestressed steel bundles, the fixing stability of the assembly bracket 3, etc. Use professional testing equipment for inspection, including but not limited to ultrasonic flaw detection, infrared imaging detection, etc., to ensure that there are no structural defects and hidden dangers, so as to avoid construction interruption or safety hazards due to structural instability after pouring. Specifically, if any connection part is found to be loose or unstable during the inspection, it can be reinforced by a temporary reinforcement device to ensure that no slip or displacement occurs during construction. Perform preliminary tensioning adjustments on the installed prestressed steel bundles to ensure that they are evenly stressed and that no unnecessary deformation or stress concentration occurs during the pouring process. During the inspection, the stability of the inner mold and bottom mold system 11 is confirmed at the same time, especially in an offshore construction environment, affected by marine climate changes, the stability of the mold is crucial.

[0059] In other embodiments, before S8 (second pouring), S7.5: environmental adaptability adjustment is also included, that is, between the first pouring and the second pouring, construction is suspended and environmental adaptability adjustment is performed. For example, under low temperature conditions, according to the change in the setting time of the concrete poured for the first time, the concrete ratio is appropriately adjusted to ensure that the second pouring can achieve better quality.

[0060] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present invention, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
