Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of prestress, and particularly relates to a method for coordinated dual control of stay cable force and main girder alignment. Background Art
[0002] In the tensioning of parallel wire stay cables of cable-stayed bridges, a hydraulic pump station is usually used to drive a jack for tensioning. During the tensioning process, a pressure gauge or pressure sensor on the tensioning equipment is used to monitor the cable force, and a total station is used to monitor the alignment. During construction, the stay cable is first tensioned. When the pressure reaches the stage design value, the nut is manually tightened to lock the tensile force, and then the elevation of the main girder is manually measured using a total station to determine whether the bridge alignment meets the stage requirements. After multiple tensionings and measurements like this, until the main girder reaches the design elevation. This method has the following deficiencies: 1. After tensioning to the set force, the nut is manually tightened to lock the tensile force, and the stress is transferred from the jack to the anchor head. During this process, some stress may be lost, that is, the actual cable force is inconsistent with the tensile force. Especially when the friction of the stay cable is very large due to installation or other factors, the tensile force cannot accurately reflect the actual cable force, and even when the tensile force has far exceeded the design value, the main girder still has not reached the design elevation; 2. Using a total station for alignment monitoring requires a large number of measurement and recording personnel, with high labor costs and low efficiency; it cannot monitor in real time all day long, the data is discontinuous and lagging, and it cannot provide real-time guiding parameters for construction; it is greatly affected by visibility, working environment and climate factors, and it is particularly difficult to measure under working conditions such as harsh environments, rainy and foggy weather, and at night; 3. It is difficult to organically integrate measurement and control, and it is impossible to realize the integration of construction monitoring and control of stay cables, resulting in high construction safety hazards. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The present invention discloses a method for coordinated dual control of stay cable force and main girder alignment. By installing a cable force sensor on the stay cable to measure the cable force in real time, and installing an elevation dynamic precise measuring instrument on the main girder to measure the elevation in real time, and establishing a communication connection between the cable force sensor, the elevation dynamic precise measuring instrument and the control center of the intelligent tensioning system, the control center comprehensively analyzes and processes according to the system tensile force, the measured cable force and the elevation situation, and controls the actions of the tensioning equipment, realizing the coordinated control of the cable force and the alignment, and improving the construction accuracy, construction efficiency and construction safety.
[0004] The solution of the present invention is: a method for coordinated dual control of stay cable force and main girder alignment, including: Step 1. Equipment calibration: Calibrate the intelligent tensioning system in combination with the cable force sensor to obtain the calibration equation between the system tensile force and the force measured by the cable force sensor, and input it into the control center; Step 2. Equipment installation: Install a cable force sensor on the stay cable to be tensioned, and install an elevation dynamic precise measuring instrument on the main girder; install an intelligent tensioning system; Step 3. Parameter setting: including: the designed tensile force F 设 , the designed elevation of the main girder H 设 , the system tensile force F 张 and the maximum allowable difference f between the cable force F 索 of the stay cable measured by the cable force sensor; Step 4. Tensioning: During the tensioning process, the cable force sensor continuously collects the cable force F 索 of the stay cable and transmits it to the control center of the tensioning system; the elevation dynamic precise measuring instrument continuously collects the elevation of the main girder and transmits it to the control center of the tensioning system; at the same time, the control center continuously monitors the tensile force F 张 of the tensioning system, and then the control center controls the cable force and the alignment based on the monitored data, with the elevation of the main girder as the main factor and the cable force of the stay cable as the auxiliary factor; Step 5. Supplementary tensioning: After the locking nut completes the system conversion, the cable force sensor continuously measures the cable force, and the elevation dynamic precise measuring instrument continuously measures the elevation. When there is a loss of the cable force of the stay cable and the elevation of the main girder, and it cannot meet the design requirements, the system automatically starts to perform supplementary tensioning until the design elevation requirements are met.
[0005] Furthermore, the following control strategy is adopted in the said Step 4: (1) When the elevation of the main girder, F 张 and F 索 have not reached the design values, if the deviation between F 张 and F 索 is within a reasonable range, that is, F 张 -F 索 ≤f, it indicates that the tensioning is normal and continue to tension; (2) When the elevation of the main girder, F 张 and F 索 have not reached the design values, if the deviation between F 张 and F 索 is too large, that is, F 张 -F 索 >f, the system automatically stops and maintains pressure, checks the reasons. If it is caused by an increase in friction resistance due to installation problems, continue to tension after handling; if it is caused by the communication lag of the cable force sensor, wait until the cable force sensor is stable and reaches F 张 -F 索 ≤f and then continue to tension; (3) When any one of F 张 or F 索 has exceeded the designed tensile force F 设 , but the elevation of the main girder fails to reach the design value, the system automatically stops, checks the reasons, and continues to tension until the designed elevation of the main girder is reached, and the locking nut completes the system conversion; When the elevation of the main girder reaches the designed elevation H of the main girder 设 The system will automatically stop and lock the nuts to complete the system conversion regardless of whether the system tension and the cable force of the stay cables reach the designed values
[0006] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: By real-time monitoring the tensile force of the intelligent tensioning system, the real-time cable force of the stay cables and the real-time elevation of the main girder, the tensile force measured by the intelligent tensioning system and the force measured by the cable force sensor are mutually verified. In case of excessive deviation, timely intervention and treatment are carried out to solve the problem that the tensile force cannot accurately reflect the actual cable force. At the same time, the elevation measurement and control are organically combined to realize the integration of construction supervision and control of stay cables, ensure the bridge alignment and improve the construction safety BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

If it is caused by an increase in friction due to installation problems, continue to tension after handling; if it is caused by the communication lag of the cable force sensor 3, wait until the cable force sensor 3 is stable and F 张 - F 索 ≤ f and then continue to tension; (3) When F 张 or F 索 exceeds the designed tensile force F 设 , but the elevation of the main girder 4 fails to reach the designed value, the intelligent tensioning system 2 automatically stops, checks the reasons, and continues to tension after handling until the designed elevation of the main girder is reached, and then locks the nut 14 to complete the system conversion; (4) When the elevation of the main girder reaches the designed elevation H of the main girder 设 , regardless of whether F 张 and F 索 reach the designed value F 设 , the intelligent tensioning system 2 automatically stops, and locks the nut 14 to complete the system conversion; (5)Supplementary tensioning: After the system conversion is completed by the locking nut 14, the cable force sensor 3 continuously measures the cable force of the stay cable, and the elevation dynamic precise measuring instrument 5 continuously measures the elevation of the main girder. When there is a loss of stay cable force and main girder elevation and it cannot meet the design requirements, the system automatically starts supplementary tensioning until the design elevation requirements are met.
