Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of steel pipe concrete arch bridge detection, and particularly relates to a steel pipe arch deformation detection device and method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The steel pipe concrete arch bridge is a composite structure bridge combining steel and concrete, which fills the steel pipe with concrete, limits the expansion of the compressed concrete by radial constraint of the steel pipe, and makes the concrete in a three-way compression state, thereby significantly improving the compressive strength. The main feature of the steel pipe concrete arch bridge is the arch rib structure, which usually includes single-limb circular pipe, double-limb dumbbell-shaped section and four-limb arch rib structure and other forms. These structural forms can be selected according to the design requirements and span size of the bridge to meet different engineering needs. In terms of construction, the steel pipe concrete arch bridge has the advantages of light hoisting weight and simple construction. The steel pipe can be used as a rigid load-bearing framework to simplify the construction process and shorten the construction period. At the same time, due to the presence of the steel pipe, concrete pouring can be conveniently carried out, avoiding the complex formwork work in the construction of traditional concrete bridges.

[0003] The monitoring items of the steel pipe concrete arch bridge include void detection and deformation detection, among which the void detection can adopt ultrasonic wave and manual detection methods. The ultrasonic wave detection has accurate detection precision and can achieve non-damage detection, but the ultrasonic wave detection needs to smear coupling agent, and then install equipment on both sides of the steel pipe, so the detection operation is relatively complex, and the personnel operation detection in the air is more troublesome. The manual detection is to detect by knocking the surface of the steel pipe, and judge the void by listening to the knocking sound, which is very dependent on the experience of personnel. The deformation detection of the steel pipe arch bridge is a long-term process, and the deformation degree of the steel pipe arch rib needs to be detected every period of time, and the detection method is relatively troublesome.
