Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of bridge steel expansion joint maintenance construction, and more specifically, to a bridge steel expansion joint maintenance construction method based on a novel template system. Background Art
[0002] The steel expansion joint of a bridge is an important part of the bridge structure and is easily damaged. There are several main reasons: the concrete strength of the concrete anchor belt of the steel expansion joint is insufficient, and the reinforcement is insufficient, which leads to cracking on the surface of the concrete anchor belt, exposed steel bars, and in severe cases, the anchor belt is broken as a whole; the side beams of the steel expansion joint are deformed and broken by the impact of vehicle loads; the connection between the side beam anchor and the embedded structural reinforcement is not firm, resulting in loose steel; foreign objects in the expansion joint hinder structural deformation, and structural stress causes deformation of the expansion joint device; foreign objects in the expansion joint device are not cleaned in time, and are crushed by vehicles, puncturing the rubber waterstop, causing leakage in the expansion joint.
[0003] When using traditional methods for maintenance, the following steps are required: remove the old expansion joint device - install the steel expansion joint side beam - re-tie the steel bars and connect the embedded steel bars to the side beam anchors - fill the steel expansion joint with foam board - pour the anchor belt concrete - remove the foam board in the expansion joint - install the water stop. In this construction method, there is no effective elevation and position fixing measures for the installation of the side beam, and the height and position are prone to shifting when pouring concrete; the gap between the lower part of the side beam and the bridge deck relies on the foam board for support, and it is easy to expand the mold and leak when pouring concrete, resulting in contamination of the lower structure and blockage of the expansion joint; when pouring the anchor belt concrete, the construction height of the concrete post-casting strip is controlled by the side beam elevation, and the probability of deviation is relatively high. In short, according to the traditional construction method, the surface flatness, overall waterproofing and free expansion and contraction function of the expansion joint have great quality risks.
[0004] In order to solve this problem, we proposed a bridge steel expansion joint repair construction method based on a new formwork system. Summary of the invention
[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, an embodiment of the present invention provides a bridge steel expansion joint maintenance construction method based on a novel formwork system to solve the problems raised in the above-mentioned background technology.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a bridge steel expansion joint maintenance construction method based on a new formwork system, comprising the following steps: S1: Preparation before construction: (1) Study of construction drawings; (2) Conduct on-site inspections to confirm the construction site and construction environment; (3) Briefing of construction personnel and preparation of materials and machinery.

[0011] Furthermore, the damaged expansion joint structure is removed and the base layer is cleaned.
[0012] Furthermore, after the original expansion joint structure is dismantled, the embedded steel bars are rearranged. If the embedded steel bars are damaged, they should be re-embedded. The number and specifications of the embedded steel bars meet the design requirements. The steel bars in the anchor belt are re-tied according to the construction drawings. The steel bar specifications, tying spacing, and protective layer thickness must meet the design requirements.
[0013] Furthermore, the formwork is fixed in place by means of basket bolts, and the reserved width of the expansion joint is adjusted; the installation position, top surface elevation, and side verticality of the formwork are checked, and the acceptance quality should meet the requirements of the specifications.
[0014] Furthermore, a horizontal laser instrument is used to mark the construction control elevations of the edge beams and the top surface of the anchoring concrete on the formwork.
[0015] Furthermore, the side beams are installed and fixed with reinforcement bars, and finally the reserved structural steel bars are welded to the side beam anchors, with the weld height and length meeting the design requirements.
[0016] Further, pour the anchor belt concrete, level the surface and cure for half an hour, loosen the turnbuckle bolts and remove the formwork.
[0017] Furthermore, in accordance with the design requirements of the drawings, the lower part of the expansion joint is filled with flexible waterproof material and a waterstop is installed; when the concrete strength reaches the design strength, traffic is opened and the structure is observed regularly.
