Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building construction technology, and in particular to a prefabricated environmentally friendly reinforcement structure and construction method for existing railways suitable for the construction of post-installed sound barriers. Background Technology

[0002] The rapid development of railway construction has greatly facilitated connectivity between cities. However, along with this rapid development, noise pollution has gradually attracted people's attention, and sound barriers are often regarded as one of the effective means of reducing noise.

[0003] For the construction of sound barriers on railway bridges, two main methods are currently used: independent column support systems and post-construction corbel support systems. Statistical analysis and theoretical research show that the construction of independent column support systems is significantly affected by the terrain along the railway line. At locations where the railway bridge is too high, the cross-section of the independent columns needs to be increased to ensure the required height-to-slenderness ratio, leading to greater construction difficulty, longer construction periods, higher costs, and serious impacts on the safe operation of the railway. Post-construction corbel support systems connect to existing railway piers via rebar installation, serving as the lower support structure for the sound barrier. However, post-construction corbel support systems require a large amount of rebar installation, and construction is prone to pier reinforcement breakage. Longitudinal reinforcement breakage causes discontinuity in the force transmission path of the pier, and stirrup breakage affects the lateral constraint of the pier structure, impacting the safe use of the pier. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, the ratio of the distance between the two clamps to the length of the crossbar is greater than 1.

[0013] Preferably, the clamping member includes two clamping plates that are spliced ​​together, and the two clamping plates are spliced ​​together and fixed by bolts after splicing.

[0014] Preferably, the width of the clamp plate is greater than or equal to √2 times the cross-sectional length of the diagonal brace.

[0015] A prefabricated environmentally friendly reinforcement construction method for existing railways, which achieves environmentally friendly reinforcement of existing railways through the aforementioned prefabricated environmentally friendly reinforcement structure, includes the following steps:

Detailed Implementation

[0032] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that these descriptions are for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but do not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0033] Please see Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment of the invention provides a prefabricated environmentally friendly reinforcement structure for existing railways. The existing railway includes a continuous bridge deck 11 and multiple piers 12 supported at the bottom of the continuous bridge deck 11. The prefabricated environmentally friendly reinforcement structure for existing railways includes a sound barrier assembly and a support system. The sound barrier assembly includes a sound barrier beam 21 fixedly installed on the side of the continuous bridge deck 11 and arranged along the extension direction of the continuous bridge deck 11, and multiple sound barrier units 22 spliced ​​together on the sound barrier beam 21. The support system includes multiple clamp assemblies fixedly installed on the outer periphery of the multiple piers 12, and multiple corbel assemblies 4 fixedly connected between the sound barrier beam 21 and the multiple clamp assemblies.

[0034] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a limiting baffle 24 is fixedly installed on the sound barrier beam 21 at the position corresponding to each pier 12, and the bracket assembly 4 is fixedly connected between the corresponding limiting baffle 24 and the clamp assembly. Preferably, the clamp assembly has two clamp members 3 spaced apart along the axial direction of the pier 12, and each clamp member 3 is provided with a rubber pad 32 between itself and the pier 12. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the sound barrier beam 21 can be either a precast concrete beam 211 or a steel truss beam (Bailey beam) 212. When a precast concrete beam 211 is used, transverse limiting baffles 24 should be set on both sides of the top crossbeam of the portal frame according to the width of the concrete beam. The crossbeam and the lower I-beam (i.e., the beam of the continuous bridge deck) are connected and fixed with pre-embedded bolts. When a steel truss beam 212 is used, limiting baffles 24 are set according to the width of the steel truss beam 212. The steel truss beam 212 and the lower I-beam (i.e., the beam of the continuous bridge deck) are connected and fixed with pre-embedded bolts. Considering the influence of the metal of the steel truss beam 212 on noise reduction, a 3cm thick honeycomb aluminum plate 213 is used as a metal noise reduction measure on the upper part of the steel truss beam 212.

[0035] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the clamping member 3 includes two clamping pieces 31 spliced ​​together. The two clamping pieces 31 are spliced ​​together and fixed after splicing by bolts 33. The clamping pieces 31 are processed according to the specifications of the pier column 12, and the two clamping pieces 31 are arranged in a mirror image.

[0036] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the corbel assembly 4 includes a horizontal bar 41 fixedly connected to one of the clamping members 3 and arranged perpendicular to the column body of the pier 12, and a diagonal brace 42 fixedly connected obliquely between the other clamping member 3 and the end of the horizontal bar 41 facing away from the pier 12. A height adjustment bracket 43 is fixedly connected between the horizontal bar 41 and the sound barrier beam 21. Preferably, the height adjustment bracket 43 includes two vertical poles 431 fixedly installed on the horizontal bar 41 in the vertical direction and a plurality of support rods 433 fixedly connected between the two vertical poles 431. A connecting rod 432 is fixedly connected between the ends of the two vertical poles 431 facing away from the horizontal bar 41, and the side of the connecting rod 432 facing away from the two vertical poles 431 is fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting baffle 24. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the horizontal bar 41 and the diagonal brace 42 are made of double H-beams with the same cross-sectional specifications and are connected to the clamping member 3 and the horizontal bar 41 by welding.

[0037] Furthermore, the height adjustment bracket 43 is installed using a portal steel frame, the upright 431 is made of steel round tube, the connecting rod 432 is made of I-beam embedded in the top of the upright 431, and the support rod 433 is set to ensure the integrity of the two uprights 431. The support rod 433 is set along one of the two horizontal lines and one of the horizontal lines. The connection between the rods is made by welding.

[0038] Furthermore, the distance between the two clamps 3 is determined based on the cantilever length of the corbel assembly 4. According to the stress stability study, the ratio of the distance between the upper and lower clamps 3 to the cantilever length of the steel corbel (i.e., the length of the crossbar 41) must be greater than 1. The width of the clamp plate 31 is determined based on the cross-sectional dimensions of the diagonal brace 42 and the crossbar 41, as well as the dynamic load of the sound barrier. The width of the clamp plate 31 is greater than or equal to √2 times the cross-sectional length of the diagonal brace 42. The rubber pads are arranged according to the position of the clamps, and the width of the rubber pads is determined based on the width of the clamps. The rubber pads must be set flat and there should be no large misalignment.

[0039] A prefabricated environmentally friendly reinforcement construction method for existing railways, which achieves environmentally friendly reinforcement of existing railways through the aforementioned prefabricated environmentally friendly reinforcement structure, includes the following steps:

[0040] The rubber pads are positioned and fixed in advance at the location where the clamp assembly is to be installed, and the clamp assembly is lifted to the required installation location using lifting machinery, thereby fixing the clamp assembly on the outer periphery of each pier column.

[0041] The various connecting rods in the bracket assembly are assembled and treated with anti-corrosion measures on the available site. After completion, a truck crane is used to lift the entire assembly during the off-season to install the bracket assembly and fix it to the clamp assembly.

[0042] A crane is used to install the sound barrier beam on the side of the corbel assembly that is relatively far from the clamp assembly. The sound barrier beam is then fixedly connected to the continuous bridge deck, and a limit baffle is installed at the corresponding position on the sound barrier beam.

[0043] During the gap period, multiple sound barrier units are installed on the barrier beam, and the multiple sound barrier units are spliced ​​together end to end.

[0044] It should be noted that the working principle of this invention includes: considering that the pier structure is generally of the variable cross-section type, taking advantage of the characteristic that the lower cross-section of the pier is larger than the upper cross-section, this support system is used to transfer the load generated by the sound barrier to the clamp assembly through the steel bracket assembly, and then to the pier through the friction between the clamp assembly and the pier, and finally to the foundation. At the same time, the clamp assembly can increase the lateral restraint of the existing railway pier, thus strengthening the existing railway pier.

[0045] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the described embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and these variations still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
