Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridges, specifically to a concrete bridge structure widened by a steel-concrete composite beam, and also to a construction method for widening a concrete bridge using a steel-concrete composite beam. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of modern social economy, the burden on the transportation system is increasing day by day. As a key node in the transportation network, the importance of bridges is self-evident. However, the current traffic volume borne by bridges is increasing day by day, making it difficult to meet the needs of modern society. This not only poses a threat to the structural safety of bridges but also brings great pressure to urban traffic.

[0003] With the sharp growth of the population and the number of motor vehicles, bridges on urban arterial roads and highways are often overloaded, posing a huge test to the bridge structure. In addition, the rapid development of modern logistics industry has led to a continuous increase in the number of large freight vehicles. The loads of these vehicles are much higher than those of ordinary small vehicles, causing more serious damage to bridges, resulting in frequent bridge damage incidents, which not only increase the maintenance cost but also seriously affect the service life of bridges.

[0004] From a technical perspective, the design and construction standards of bridges often lag behind the speed of traffic development, resulting in huge pressure on bridge structures and accelerating aging. In addition, due to the long-term lack of effective maintenance and inspection of many bridges, about 10% of the bridges have varying degrees of diseases and safety hazards, reducing the bearing capacity, affecting normal use, and posing a major threat to traffic safety.

[0005] To cope with the increasing traffic burden, building new bridges is costly and disrupts traffic, causing inconvenience. Existing methods for widening concrete bridges, such as bonded rebar connections, are prone to damaging the original structure, reducing the bearing capacity, and cracks at the connection due to the difference in material properties between the new and old bridges, affecting driving safety and smoothness. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the problem that the existing method for widening concrete bridges is prone to damaging the original structure, the present invention provides a concrete bridge structure widened by a steel-concrete composite beam and its construction method. The concrete bridge structure widened by a steel-concrete composite beam can ensure that the new steel bridge body and the old concrete bridge body sink synchronously under load, significantly reducing the vertical deformation difference at the joint and ensuring the overall stability and durability of the bridge. At the same time, this structure abandons the traditional bonded rebar construction, completely avoiding the potential damage risk to the original bridge structure, providing a new safe, efficient, and environmentally friendly way for bridge widening and reconstruction.

[0007] The technical solution adopted by the embodiments of the present invention to solve its technical problems is:

A right wing flange is provided on the right side of the existing concrete bridge body. The newly built steel-concrete composite bridge body includes a precast concrete bridge deck and a steel box arranged vertically. A corbel member is provided outside the left side of the steel box. The right wing flange and the corbel member are arranged vertically, and the corbel member can support the right wing flange.

[0009] A construction method for the widened concrete bridge structure using a steel-concrete composite beam as described above. The construction method for the widened concrete bridge structure using a steel-concrete composite beam successively includes the following steps:

[0010] Step 1: Clean the existing concrete bridge body;

[0011] Step 2: Construct the steel box and the corbel member;

[0012] Step 3: Install the precast concrete bridge deck;

[0013] Step 4: Lay the paving layer.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the embodiments of the present invention are:

[0015] 1. Reduce the vertical deformation difference at the joint, and ensure the overall stability and safety of the bridge structure.

[0016] 2. Avoid potential damage to the original bridge structure caused by improper post-implantation of steel bars.

[0017] 3. Avoid the cracking problem caused by inconsistent shrinkage and creep between the new and old bridge bodies, and improve the durability and service life of the bridge.

[0018] 4. Shorten the on-site construction period and reduce the interference to the surrounding environment.

[0019] 5. Adapt to different bridge forms and span requirements, and provide more selection space for bridge widening and reconstruction. Description of the Drawings

[0036] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, a steel-concrete composite beam widened concrete bridge structure described in an embodiment of the present invention includes a paving layer 4 and a supporting bridge body arranged up and down. The supporting bridge body includes an existing concrete bridge body 1 and a newly built steel-concrete composite bridge body 2 arranged left and right. A right wing flange 101 is arranged on the right side of the existing concrete bridge body 1. The newly built steel-concrete composite bridge body 2 includes a precast concrete bridge deck 6 and a steel box 5 arranged up and down. A bracket member 3 is arranged outside the left side of the steel box 5. The right wing flange 101 and the bracket member 3 are arranged up and down, and the bracket member 3 can support the right wing flange 101.

[0037] The extending direction of the existing concrete bridge body 1 is the same as that of the newly built steel-concrete composite bridge body 2. The newly built steel-concrete composite bridge body 2 extends in the front-rear direction. The steel box 5 extends along the extending direction of the newly built steel-concrete composite bridge body 2. The cross-section of the steel box 5 is rectangular. The steel box 5 includes a top plate 501, a web 502, and a bottom plate 503 connected in sequence from top to bottom. The two webs 502 are arranged at intervals left and right. The bracket member 3 is welded to the left web 502.

[0038] The bracket member 3 is welded to the upper part of the left web 502. The bracket member 3 includes an upper side plate 301, a vertical plate 302, and a lower side plate 303 connected in sequence from top to bottom. First reinforcing rib plates 304 are arranged on both the front and rear sides of the vertical plate 302. The upper side plate 301 is in a horizontal state, the vertical plate 302 and the first reinforcing rib plates 304 are in an upright state, and the lower side plate 303 is in an inclined state.

[0039] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, both the upper side plate 301 and the top plate 501 are in a horizontal state. The upper side plate 301 and the top plate 501 can be connected as a whole. The upper surface of the upper side plate 301 is flush with the upper surface of the top plate 501. Second reinforcing rib plates 504 can be welded to the inner sides of the webs 502 and the bottom plate 503. The right side of the right wing flange 101 is arranged at an interval up and down with the left side of the bracket member 3.

[0040] The bracket member 3 is coordinated with the arrangement of the diaphragms and cross beams of the newly built steel-concrete composite bridge body 2, and can be accurately manufactured in a prefabrication factory or flexibly welded on the construction site. The top of the bracket member 3 is flush with the top of the composite beam steel box 5, and a space is reserved to accommodate the following wing flange support 7, effectively supporting the wing flange of the existing concrete bridge body 1 and realizing the coordinated deformation of the new and old bridges under vertical loads.

[0041] AsFigures 1 to 2 As shown, the precast concrete bridge deck 6 is connected in a stacked manner both above and below with the steel box 5 and the bracket member 3. A part (left end part) of the precast concrete bridge deck 6 is located above the bracket member 3, and another part (other parts) of the precast concrete bridge deck 6 is located above the steel box 5.

[0042] As Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a plurality of shear studs 8 are connected to the upper surface of the upper side plate 301 of the bracket member 3 and the upper surface of the top plate 501 of the steel box 5. The plurality of shear studs 8 can be called clustered shear studs. A plurality of matching hole positions 601 are provided on the precast concrete bridge deck 6, and the matching hole positions 601 are connected to the shear studs 8 in a one-to-one correspondence. These shear studs 8 effectively connect the precast concrete bridge deck 6 and the steel box 5 tightly, forming an integral structure.

[0043] The precast concrete bridge deck 6 is fabricated in the factory with the matching hole positions 601 reserved and is tightly connected to the steel box 5 by means of the clustered shear studs 8. Before leaving the factory, the precast concrete bridge deck 6 needs to undergo a period of static storage to ensure that its internal shrinkage and creep are fully completed, thereby effectively preventing the generation of longitudinal cracks between the new and old bridge bodies.

[0044] A space is reserved at the top of the bracket member 3. The right side of the right wing flange 101 of the existing concrete bridge body 1 is connected to the left side of the bracket member 3 through the right wing flange support 7. The material of the right wing flange support 7 is preferably recommended to use materials such as felt or polymer mortar to ensure its support effect.

[0045] As Figures 1 to 2 shown, the right wing flange 101 of the existing concrete bridge body 1 and the precast concrete bridge deck 6 are directly opposite left and right. A deformation joint 9 is provided between the right wing flange 101 of the existing concrete bridge body 1 and the precast concrete bridge deck 6, and the deformation joint 9 is filled with a foam plastic board and polymer mortar. The width of the deformation joint 9 does not exceed 2 cm to adapt to the lateral deformation of the bridge and provide adaptability and stability.

[0046] The paving layer 4 covers the bridge surface at the junction of the existing concrete bridge body 1 and the new steel-concrete composite bridge body 2 to achieve continuous bridge deck. The material of the paving layer 4 is mainly concrete. The paving layer 4 includes a left section 401, an intermediate transition section 402, and a right section 403 arranged in sequence from left to right. The left side of the intermediate transition section 402 is connected in a stacked manner above and below with the right side (right wing flange 101) of the existing concrete bridge body 1, and the right side of the intermediate transition section 402 is connected in a stacked manner above and below with the left side of the new steel-concrete composite bridge body 2 (precast concrete bridge deck 6).

[0047] Before laying the pavement layer 4, the guardrails, existing cast-in-place layers and pavement layers of the existing concrete bridge body 1 need to be removed to ensure that the pavement layer 4 of the new and old bridge bodies can form a unified overall structure. The recast pavement layer 4 can achieve the continuity of the bridge deck of the existing concrete bridge body 1 and the newly built steel-concrete composite bridge body 2, and enhance the collaborative deformation capacity of the two under vertical loads, effectively reducing the vertical deformation of the joint. In order to prevent deformation and cracks caused by material shrinkage creep, the pavement layer 4 should be cast with high-strength UHPC materials.

[0048] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the left section 401 and the right section 403 are both made of UHPC (ultra-high performance concrete), and the middle transition section 402 contains a double-layer tensile steel mesh 10, which contains a plurality of horizontal transverse steel bars 1001 and a plurality of horizontal longitudinal steel bars 1002.

[0049] Multiple horizontal transverse steel bars 1001 and multiple horizontal longitudinal steel bars 1002 are arranged in a staggered manner, the horizontal transverse steel bars 1001 extend in the left-right direction, and the horizontal longitudinal steel bars 1002 extend in the front-back direction. The tensile steel mesh 10 forms a strong tension system that can resist tension from different directions and prevent damage to the internal structure.

[0050] In the steel-concrete composite beam-widened concrete bridge structure described in the present invention, a steel structure corbel member 3 is arranged on the web 502 of the new steel-concrete composite bridge body 2 to achieve coordinated deformation of the new and old bridges and reduce the risk of anchoring; the support space and deformation joint reserved above the corbel member 3 bear the load of the flange of the existing concrete bridge and adapt to the natural lateral deformation of the bridge during normal use; a double-layer staggered tensile steel mesh 10 is arranged in the pavement layer 4, and high-strength UHPC paving is adopted to enhance the overall strength of the pavement layer, ensure the continuity of the bridge deck, and improve the fatigue resistance of the steel bridge deck; clustered shear nails 8 are used to connect the precast concrete bridge deck 6 and the steel box 5 to ensure the stability and durability of the connection and significantly reduce problems such as cracks caused by the incoordination of deformation between the existing bridge and the newly built bridge.

[0051] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the steel-concrete composite beam widened concrete bridge structure (also referred to as a bridge widening structure) also includes an upper surface layer 11. The upper surface layer 11, the pavement layer 4 and the supporting bridge body are connected in sequence from top to bottom. The upper surface layer 11 can be an asphalt pavement.

[0052] The present invention mainly includes three core parts: First, a bracket member 3 made of steel structure is adopted, and this member is fixed to the steel web of the steel box 5 by welding; second, an enhanced tensile steel bar mesh 10 is adopted, and this steel bar mesh is laid in the entire area of the joint between the old and new bridge decks to enhance the connection strength; third, a precast concrete bridge deck 6 with holes is adopted, and this structure is precisely precast in the factory and reserved with matching hole positions 601 to meet the splicing requirements. This splicing structure design can effectively reduce the vertical deformation difference at the joint, avoid the possible structural damage caused by post-inserted bar construction, prevent the cracking problem caused by the difference in material shrinkage and creep, and significantly improve the durability of the bridge.

[0053] A construction method of the above-mentioned steel-concrete composite beam widened concrete bridge structure, the construction method of the steel-concrete composite beam widened concrete bridge structure successively includes the following steps:.

[0054] Step 1, clean the existing concrete bridge body 1;

[0055] Step 2, construct the steel box 5 and the bracket member 3;

[0056] Step 3, install the precast concrete bridge deck 6;

[0057] Step 4, lay the paving layer 4;

[0058] Step 5, lay the upper surface layer 11.

[0059] The steel-concrete composite beam widened concrete bridge structure and its construction method described in the present invention, without damaging the existing bridge structure, through the precisely welded steel structure bracket member, the bridge deck paved with high-strength UHPC material, and the double-layer staggered steel bar mesh design, significantly enhance the structural strength of the connection between the old and new bridges, making the bridge more stable when bearing vertical and horizontal loads. At the same time, the reserved bearing space at the top of the bracket member and the setting of the deformation joint effectively adapt to the lateral deformation of the bridge, ensure the coordinated deformation of the old and new bridges when stressed, reduce the vertical deformation difference at the splicing, and improve the overall performance of the bridge. In addition, the use of bundled shear studs ensures the firm connection between the precast concrete bridge deck and the steel box. At the same time, the reserved shrinkage and creep period and the selection of high-strength materials effectively prevent the structural damage and cracking problems caused by the difference in material properties.

[0060] The above are only specific embodiments of the present invention, and the scope of the invention implementation cannot be limited by them. Therefore, the replacement of equivalent components, or the equivalent changes and modifications made according to the protection scope of the present invention, should still fall within the scope covered by the present invention. In addition, the technical features in the present invention, between technical features, between technical features and technical solutions, between technical solutions and technical solutions, and between embodiments and embodiments can be freely combined and used.
