Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of bridge engineering and its construction technology, and particularly relates to a construction method of a large-span large-height-difference steel box girder pushing system. BACKGROUND

[0002] Large-span bridges not only effectively solve the traffic bottleneck problem, but also reduce the land occupation area and improve the traffic efficiency. Among various bridge structures, steel box girders gradually become the mainstream choice for large-span bridges due to their excellent mechanical properties and economy. However, the construction technology of steel box girders is relatively complex, especially under large-height-difference and special terrain conditions, the construction difficulty and technical requirements are significantly increased.

[0003] Traditional steel box girder construction methods mainly include hoisting, assembling and erecting processes. These methods can meet the construction requirements to some extent, but in actual application, they still face many challenges. First, the traditional construction method often relies on a large number of temporary support structures and hoisting equipment, which not only increases the construction cost, but also prolongs the construction period. In addition, the stability and safety of the steel box girder during construction are difficult to be effectively guaranteed, especially when constructing under large-height-difference, the problems such as deformation and inclination of the girder body are prone to occur, which further affects the construction quality. In order to overcome the above problems, many researchers and engineers have begun to explore new construction technologies and equipment. Among them, the pushing method as a new construction technology gradually attracts widespread attention. The pushing method sets up a special pushing equipment on the built component, and gradually pushes the steel box girder to the designed position to reduce the dependence on temporary support. This method shows good adaptability and stability in the construction of large-span bridges, especially for construction under large-height-difference and complex terrain.

[0004] However, the existing pushing technology still has some deficiencies. For example, the pushing force and speed need to be accurately controlled during the pushing process to ensure the safety and stability of the girder body. In addition, the setting of the pushing equipment and the connection relationship between the pushing equipment and the main structure also need special attention to avoid unnecessary vibration and deformation during the pushing process. Therefore, how to design an efficient and stable pushing system has become the focus of current technical research.

[0005] In summary, in the face of increasing traffic demand and increasingly complex construction environment, higher requirements are put forward for the construction technology of large-span large-height-difference steel box girders. Therefore, a new type of large-span large-height-difference steel box girder pushing system is urgently needed, which aims to improve the construction efficiency and safety of the steel box girder through reasonable structural design and construction steps. The proposal and implementation of this technology will provide a new solution for the construction of large-span bridges in the future, and promote the further development and innovation of bridge construction technology.
