TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge construction, in particular to a method for installing a central buckle of a suspension bridge. BACKGROUND

[0002] Currently, the central buckle (also known as a central clamp) of a suspension bridge is connected to the main cable and the stiffening beam at the midspan by certain structural measures, thereby reducing the longitudinal displacement of the beam end and the local bending of the short hanger.

[0003] The central buckle end connection is mostly connected by a pin connection, which is difficult to install. The common installation method is to use special tooling and tensioning equipment for tensioning installation. The stiffening beam needs to be locally stiffened, that is, the pin connection end of the central buckle is tensioned by using special tooling and tensioning equipment to gradually reduce the distance between the pin hole of the cable clamp ear plate of the pin connection end and the pin hole of the stiffening beam, until the distance between the pin hole of the cable clamp ear plate of the pin connection end and the pin hole of the stiffening beam is less than the unstressed length of the central buckle cable, but there are the following problems:

[0025] In some embodiments, the longitudinal fixing device includes a plurality of longitudinal fixing devices, and the plurality of longitudinal fixing devices are uniformly distributed along the transverse direction of the stiffening beam.

[0026] In some embodiments, the number of the hand-operated hoists is multiple, and the hand-operated hoists are divided into a first group and a second group; the first group and the second group are arranged on the two sides of the longitudinal bridge of the central buckle cable;

[0027] The installation of the central buckle of the suspension bridge by using the hand-operated hoist to pull the central buckle cable comprises the following steps:

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0043] To make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present application more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0044] The connection mode of the central buckle end is generally a pin connection mode, and the pin connection installation is difficult. The common installation method is to use special tooling and tensioning equipment for tensioning installation. The stiffened beam needs to be locally stiffened, that is, the pin connection end of the central buckle is tensioned by using special tooling and tensioning equipment, so as to gradually reduce the distance between the cable clamp ear plate pin hole of the pin connection end and the stiffened beam pin hole, until the distance between the cable clamp ear plate pin hole of the pin connection end and the stiffened beam pin hole is less than the unstressed length of the central buckle cable. However, the following problems exist:

[0045] Because the structure of the special tooling and tensioning equipment is complex, the installation mode is complicated, in addition, the special tooling and tensioning equipment need to be invested with a large cost, resulting in a high final installation cost. Therefore, a suspension bridge central buckle installation method is needed to reduce the installation difficulty and reduce the installation cost.

[0046] For the purpose of the application, it should be understood that:

[0047] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 , the general structure of the central buckle of the suspension bridge includes the cable clamp connected with the main cable 8, the cable clamp ear plate pin hole 300 is connected with two central buckle cables 301, and the sling 302 is located between the two central buckle cables 301; the stiffening beam pin hole 101 of the stiffening beam 1 of the suspension bridge is connected with the end of the central buckle cable 301 away from the cable clamp;

[0048] Generally, the central buckle cable 301 needs to be tensioned to the stiffening beam pin hole 101 through special tooling and tensioning equipment, because the pin hole distance is generally not directly installed with the central buckle cable 301; the pin hole distance is the distance between the cable clamp ear plate pin hole 300 and the stiffening beam pin hole 101.

[0049] Therefore, the embodiment of the application provides a suspension bridge central buckle installation method to solve the problem of complex structure of special tooling and tensioning equipment in the related art, which leads to complicated installation mode and high installation cost, and reference is made to the following description.

[0050] Reference is made to the accompanying drawings Figures 1-4 , a suspension bridge central buckle installation method, comprising:

[0051] Step 100, using the longitudinal fixing device 7 to form longitudinal constraint on the beam end 2 of the stiffening beam 1 on the same side as the installation position of the central buckle cable 301;

[0052] Step 200, after the longitudinal constraint on the beam end 2, and measuring the real-time pin hole distance in the process of environmental temperature rising; the pin hole distance is the distance between the cable clamp ear plate pin hole 300 and the stiffening beam pin hole 101;

[0053] Step 300, when the real-time pin hole distance is less than the unstressed length of the central buckle cable, using the chain hoist 9 to pull the central buckle cable for installation. L0 is the unstressed length of the central buckle cable, which can be referred to the content shown in the accompanying drawings. Figure 3

[0054] In the above construction process, the longitudinal fixing device 7 is used to constrain the beam end 2 of the stiffening beam 1 in the longitudinal direction, so as to directionally limit the displacement caused by temperature rising in the process of environmental temperature rising, and the displacement can be used to reduce the pin hole distance to meet the installation requirements, and then the chain hoist 9 is directly used for traction, the equipment used in the above steps has simple structure, and the central buckle can be installed without using special tooling and tensioning equipment, so as to simplify the installation mode and reduce the installation cost.

[0055] In some preferred embodiments, in some cases, the pin hole distance meets the installation requirements, so tensioning is not needed, and therefore the following operation is further included before step 100:​

[0056] Measure the pin hole distance between the cable clamp ear plate pin hole 300 and the stiffening beam pin hole 101; then compare the pin hole distance with the central buckle cable unstressed length;

[0057] If the pin hole distance is less than the central buckle cable unstressed length, it indicates that the installation requirements of the central buckle are met, and the central buckle cable is directly installed by using the chain hoist 9;

[0058] If the pin hole distance is greater than or equal to the central buckle cable unstressed length, it indicates that the installation requirements of the central buckle are not met, and then the step of using the longitudinal fixing device 7 to longitudinally constrain the beam end 2 is performed. That is, return to step 100.

[0059] In some preferred embodiments, step 200, after longitudinally constraining the beam end 2, and measuring the real-time pin hole distance during the ambient temperature rise, includes the following steps:

[0060] After longitudinally constraining the beam end 2, measure the pin hole distance at the current ambient temperature, and then calculate the reference temperature rise value in combination with the central buckle cable unstressed length;

[0061] Determine whether the maximum value of the ambient temperature of the weather forecast of the day is greater than the sum of the current ambient temperature and the reference temperature rise value;

[0062] If so, when the change amount of the current ambient temperature is equal to the reference temperature rise value, measure again to obtain the real-time pin hole distance;

[0063] Otherwise, the central buckle is not installed on the day.

[0064] The above is the deformation caused by the directional constraint of temperature. If the temperature of the day does not meet the requirement of producing the required distance reduction, the installation cannot be successfully completed on the day, so this situation needs to be excluded. In addition, the reference temperature rise value is calculated according to the pin hole distance at the current ambient temperature and the central buckle cable unstressed length, including the following steps:

[0065] According to formula one, and in combination with the pin hole distance at the current ambient temperature and the central buckle cable unstressed length, the distance difference value is obtained;

[0066] According to formula two, and in combination with the distance difference value, the reference temperature rise value is obtained;

[0067] Formula one is: dL=L1-L0; where L1 is the pin hole distance at the current ambient temperature, and L0 is the central buckle cable unstressed length.

[0068] Formula two is: T=dL / dS; where dS is the change amount of the cable beam distance when the beam end 2 is longitudinally constrained in the whole bridge overall calculation model, and the whole bridge rises by 1℃, and T is the reference temperature rise value.

[0069] In some preferred embodiments, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the longitudinal fixing device 7 comprises a jack 700 and a cushion beam 701, the cushion beam 701 is welded with the bracket 100 of the stiffening beam 1; the jack 700 is located between the stopper 6 of the bridge tower 4 corresponding to the beam end 2 and the cushion beam 701; the telescopic end of the jack 700 is used to tighten the cushion beam 701; the other end of the jack 700 is tightened with the stopper 6.

[0070] The installation of the longitudinal fixing device 7 comprises the following steps:

[0071] Weld the cushion beam 701 on the bracket 100 of the stiffening beam 1;

[0072] Use the lifting tool to suspend the jack 700 on the bridge tower accessory; then lower the jack 700 until the jack 700 is located between the stopper 6 and the cushion beam 701;

[0073] Adjust the jack 700 so that the center line of the jack 700 is coaxial with the center of the cushion beam 701.

[0074] The above describes the structure and installation form of the longitudinal fixing device 7, it can be seen that the equipment used has low investment cost and does not need complex and expensive special equipment.

[0075] Further, the longitudinal fixing device 7 comprises a plurality of longitudinal fixing devices 7, which are uniformly distributed along the transverse direction of the stiffening beam 1. Such arrangement can make the constraint force more uniform when the longitudinal constraint is applied, and the cooperation of multiple jacks 700 reduces the specification requirements of the jack 700. Above, the operation of suspending the jack 700 on the bridge tower accessory by the lifting tool can make full use of the equipment on the bridge tower, avoiding the use of complex fixtures to fix the jack 700, because as long as the center line of the jack 700 is coaxial with the center of the cushion beam 701 and the jack 700 is tightly contacted with the stopper 6, the position can be fixed.

[0076] In some preferred embodiments, referring to Figure 4 , in step 300, the number of the hand-operated hoists 9 is multiple, and they are divided into a first group and a second group; the first group and the second group are respectively arranged on the two sides of the longitudinal direction of the central buckle cable 301;

[0077] The installation of the central buckle cable by using the hand-operated hoists 9 comprises the following steps:

[0078] Connect the traction ropes of the hand-operated hoists 9 in the first group with the stiffening beam 1 and the central buckle cable 301;

[0079] Connect the traction ropes of the hand-operated hoists 9 in the second group with the stiffening beam 1 and the central buckle cable 301;

[0080] Adjust the first group of hand-operated hoist 9 and the second group of hand-operated hoist 9 to make the pin joint end of the central buckle cable 301 concentric with the stiffening beam pin hole 101, and then drive the central buckle pin shaft.

[0081] In some preferred embodiments, the suspension bridge central buckle 3 comprises two central buckle cables 301 in the longitudinal direction of the bridge;

[0082] When installing one of the central buckle cables 301, the other central buckle cable 301 is also installed using the above suspension bridge central buckle installation method. That is, after installing one central buckle cable 301 using the suspension bridge central buckle installation method, the other central buckle cable 301 is installed according to the same steps, and only the longitudinal fixing device 7 needs to be arranged at the corresponding beam end 2;

[0083] A specific embodiment is described below:

[0084] The cushion beam 701 is arranged on the bank side, has a length of 50 cm, and is mainly made of Q235 material HW400x400 type steel and welded to the bracket 100 of the stiffening beam 1. The other side is welded to a head plate, and the head plate should be vertical. The head plate and the jack are in close contact to prevent the jack 700 and the I-shaped section from having too small contact area, causing local damage.

[0085] A 250t jack is selected, which has a length of 36 cm, a diameter of 35 cm, and a stroke of 18 cm, meeting the needs of the 110t single top stress of the central buckle installation on the south bank side. The jack is suspended on the bridge tower auxiliary platform through a 2t hand-operated hoist and a 2t sling. The jack is started and adjusted to be horizontal, and the jack should be vertically supported on the head plate and opposite to the middle position of the cushion block. A 5t sling is arranged to connect the central buckle cable 301 on the south bank side, and a 5t hand-operated hoist is anchored to the nearby side guardrail base and drainage pipe opening through a 5t sling. The 5t hand-operated hoist on the mid-span side is used for transverse positioning, and the 5t hand-operated hoist on the south bank side is used for traction in the direction of the central buckle.

[0086] When the stiffening beam 1 is heated by 5℃, the pin hole distance on the south bank side can be shortened by 18mm, and the single cushion block stress is about 110t. On the installation day of the central buckle cable 301, the upstream and downstream jacks are both extended by 15cm, and the temperature is waited to rise. When the cushion beam 701 approaches the jack 700, the stroke of the upstream and downstream jacks 700 is adjusted synchronously until the two jacks 700 synchronously contact the cushion beam 701, and the current state of the jacks is maintained. At this time, the central buckle tensioning system control personnel is immediately notified. Further waiting for the temperature to rise, at this time, the central buckle installation personnel tightens the 5t hand-operated hoist of the central buckle tensioning system in the mid-span, until the pin joint end of the central buckle cable 301 is concentric with the stiffening beam pin hole 101, and then the central buckle pin shaft is immediately driven, completing the installation of the central buckle cable 301.

[0087] The application further provides another method for installing the central buckle of a suspension bridge, which is a loading scheme for changing the pin hole distance, and specifically as follows.

[0088] Reference Figure 5 A method for installing the central buckle of a suspension bridge, comprising:

[0089] Step S100, forming a longitudinal constraint on the beam end 2 of the stiffening beam 1 on the same side as the installation position of the central buckle cable 301 by using a longitudinal fixing device;

[0090] Step S200, after the longitudinal constraint on the beam end 2 is completed, arranging a load 5 at the loading position of the stiffening beam 1, and then measuring the real-time pin hole distance after the load 5 is loaded; the pin hole distance is the distance between the pin hole 300 of the cable clamp ear plate and the pin hole 101 of the stiffening beam; the load 5 is an object with a certain weight, which can be a vehicle loaded with a certain amount of sand;

[0091] Step S300, when the real-time pin hole distance is less than the unstressed length of the central buckle cable, the central buckle cable is installed by using a chain hoist 9.

[0092] The difference between the scheme of changing the temperature and the scheme of changing the load is that: in step S200, the load 5 is arranged at the loading position of the stiffening beam 1, comprising the following steps:

[0093] In the whole bridge integral calculation model, the beam end 2 is constrained in the longitudinal translation, the support friction is applied, and the cable-beam distance change influence line is obtained by moving the load on the bridge deck;

[0094] The load 5 is arranged near the maximum value of the cable-beam distance change influence line, and then the current cable-beam distance is calculated; the current cable-beam distance is compared with the unstressed length of the central buckle cable; if the current cable-beam distance is less than the unstressed length of the central buckle cable, the loading position corresponding to the current cable-beam distance and the load 5 can be used;

[0095] Otherwise, the loading position and the load 5 are changed until the cable-beam distance meets the installation requirements.

[0096] The load 5 includes a vehicle or a vehicle loaded with a designed weight of goods.

[0097] The principle of changing the pin hole distance by using the ballast is as follows:

[0098] The cable-beam distance change influence line, i.e., the direction and value of the cable-beam distance change, can be obtained by moving the load on the bridge deck, and accordingly the most unfavorable loading position and load value can be determined; the cable-beam produces a relative displacement at the most unfavorable loading position and load; the displacement can be used to reduce the pin hole distance to meet the installation requirements, and then the chain hoist is directly used for traction; the above steps use simple equipment structures, and the central buckle can be installed without using special tooling and tensioning equipment, so as to simplify the installation mode and reduce the installation cost.
