Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of bridges, and particularly to a method for installing steel box girders of a vertical lifting opening bridge on water. Background Art
[0002] An opening bridge refers to a bridge whose superstructure can open and close in ways such as vertical rotation, horizontal rotation, and lifting for navigation needs. When land transportation becomes extremely busy and there are ships navigating on a river while a fixed bridge cannot be built above the navigable clearance, an opening bridge needs to be constructed to solve the water and land transportation problems. When a ship needs to cross the river, the bridge traffic is suspended, the bridge body of the opening bridge is lifted, and after the ship has crossed the river, the bridge body of the opening bridge is lowered to resume the entire bridge traffic.
[0003] To not affect the passage of the original river course and the environmental protection of the river course, and to ensure the normal navigation of the river course and the integrity of the river slope protection, the overall lifting method is generally used to install the steel box girder. When using the overall lifting method to install the steel box girder, the overall steel box girder to be lifted is too large to be transported, and the site in the water is restricted; in addition, to ensure the passage of the waterway, supports cannot be set directly below the lifting points.

[0027] Embodiment:
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 and, with reference to Figures 2 to 3 An installation method for a steel box girder of a water - borne vertical - lifting opening bridge is provided in an embodiment of the present application, including the following steps:
[0029] S1. According to the actual construction conditions, transportation requirements, lifting conditions on - site, and requirements of specifications, the steel box girders of the vertical - lifting opening bridge are sequentially divided into multiple first - section steel box girders 1, multiple second - section steel box girders 2, and multiple third - section steel box girders 3;
[0030] S2. Transport multiple second - section steel box girders 2 to the designated position on - site for secondary assembly, then launch them into the water and tow them by floating to the design position;
[0031] S3. Hoist the first - section steel box girders 1 and the third - section steel box girders 3 at their original positions on - site respectively; install the first lifting device 4 on the first - section steel box girder 1 and the second lifting device 5 on the third - section steel box girder 3; hoist the second - section steel box girder 2 at the design position through the first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5.
[0032] In step S1, the steel box girders of the vertical - lifting opening bridge are segmented according to the spacing of the steel cofferdams 11, the overhanging length of the lifting trusses on the steel box girders of the vertical - lifting opening bridge, and the length of the steel box girders of the vertical - lifting opening bridge.
[0033] In step S2, it includes the following steps:
[0034] S21. Transport the multiple second - segment steel box girders 2 to the site in segments for secondary assembly. Assemble and weld the multiple second - segment steel box girders 2 into a whole on the jig for secondary assembly. Move the ship - building trolley 6 to the lower part of the second - segment steel box girder 2 after secondary assembly, raise the ship - building trolley 6, lift the second - segment steel box girder 2 and separate it from the jig, and then transport the whole to the docking platform 7 in the inner - river launching site. Specifically, in step S21, seal the two ends of the whole second - segment steel box girder 2 after secondary assembly with thin steel plates to form a ship - shaped floating structure, and transport this whole steel box girder to directly below the designed lifting position, thus effectively solving the problem of transporting large - sized steel box girders during the transportation process. Conduct a watertight test on the welds of the ship - shaped floating structure to detect and repair the water leakage points.
[0035] S22. Move the inclined ship - frame 8 up to directly below the second - segment steel box girder 2. Jack up the jack until the second - segment steel box girder 2 is lifted from the ship - building trolley 6 onto the inclined ship - frame 8, and then remove the ship - building trolley 6.
[0036] S23. Lower the inclined ship - frame 8, bring the second - segment steel box girder 2 into the water together until the second - segment steel box girder 2 floats up after reaching the draft depth.
[0037] S24. Use a tugboat to tow the second - segment steel box girder 2 in a floating state to the designed position.
[0038] In step S3, a first lifting bracket 9 and a second lifting bracket 10 are respectively erected on both sides of the steel cofferdam 11. The first segment of the steel box girder 1 is hoisted in place through the first lifting bracket 9, and the third segment of the steel box girder 3 is hoisted in place through the second lifting bracket 10. Multiple already-hoisted first segments of the steel box girder 1 are assembled and welded into a whole as a counterweight to resist the overturning moment during lifting, and multiple already-hoisted third segments of the steel box girder 3 are assembled and welded into a whole as a counterweight to resist the overturning moment during lifting, so that during the process of lifting the second segment of the steel box girder 2, the anti-overturning moment is completely provided by the steel box girder itself, solving the problem in the prior art that the concrete main tower participates in the force. A first lifting truss 13 is installed on the first segment of the steel box girder 1 welded into a whole, and a second lifting truss 14 is installed on the third segment of the steel box girder 3 welded into a whole. A first lifting device 4 is installed on the first lifting truss 13 and debugging and trial-lifting operations are carried out on the first lifting device 4. A second lifting device 5 is installed on the second lifting truss 14 and debugging and trial-lifting operations are carried out on the second lifting device 5. The first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5 are respectively connected to the lifting lugs on the second segment of the steel box girder 2 through steel strands 12, and the second segment of the steel box girder 2 is vertically lifted integrally through the first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5. It vertically lifts the second segment of the steel box girder 2 integrally through the first lifting device 4 on the first segment of the steel box girder 1 and the second lifting device 5 on the third segment of the steel box girder 3, without the need to add additional brackets, solving the problem that brackets cannot be erected below during the installation of the steel box girder across the river channel.
[0039] It should be noted that in this embodiment, both the first lifting device 4 and the second lifting device 5 can adopt the driving mechanisms in the prior art, and their specific structures and working principles will not be elaborated here.
[0040] The above method is applied to the construction of the steel box girder for an actual vertical-lifting opening bridge. Specifically, in this embodiment, the steel box girder for the vertical-lifting opening bridge is successively divided into the first segment of the steel box girder 1 with a total of 16 small segments, the second segment of the steel box girder 2 with a total of 32 small segments, and the third segment of the steel box girder 3 with a total of 16 small segments. Among them, the total length of the steel box girder for the vertical-lifting opening bridge is 104 m and the width is 34 m. Since the net distance between the steel cofferdams 11 is 75 m, if the second segment of the steel box girder 2 is too long as a whole, the bending moments borne by the first lifting truss 13 and the second lifting truss 14 during lifting are small, which will cause the second segment of the steel box girder 2 to be difficult to be in place and easy to collide with the steel cofferdam 11. If the second segment of the steel box girder 2 is too short as a whole, the bending moments borne by the first lifting truss 13 and the second lifting truss 14 during lifting are large, and the second segment of the steel box girder 2 will not collide with the cofferdam when in place. Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, the second segment of the steel box girder 2 is divided into 67.5 m in length.
[0041] In summary, the present application provides a method for installing a steel box girder of a water vertical lifting opening bridge. By means of transporting, hoisting, and lifting the steel box girder in segmented sections, the problems of large steel box girders during transportation are effectively solved. This method does not affect the passage of the original river course and the environmental protection of the river course, and can also ensure the normal navigation of the river course and the integrity of the river slope protection.
[0042] The foregoing is only a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. For those skilled in the art, various changes and modifications can be made to the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included within the protection scope of the present application.
