Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a method for realizing stress-free first-span closure by using a variable cross-section continuous steel truss beam and a method for installing the mid-span closure of a variable cross-section continuous steel truss beam across a river, belonging to the field of manufacturing of variable cross-section continuous steel truss beam bridge installation technology. Background Art
[0002] CN111472285A, with the name "A method for installing a variable cross-section continuous steel of the main bridge by using a cable crane", the steps are as follows: Firstly, construct the steel truss beam at the pier top; then carry out the cantilever assembly construction of the main beam: symmetrically cantilever hoist the steel truss beam segments on both sides of each main pier with a cable crane and install the steel truss beam segments; and set a lower horizontal bracing concrete slab at the steel truss beam segment, and carry out the construction of the second steel truss beam segment of each main pier; after the connection of the third steel truss beam segments of each main pier is completed, pour concrete into the steel truss beam members at this segment; after the concrete in the members reaches the requirements, carry out the construction of the next steel truss beam segment of each main pier, and stop when the mid-span construction reaches the segment before the closure segment; finally, close the side span and the mid-span. Using this scheme, not only is the acting force of the deck crane on the steel truss beam eliminated, the stress at the pier-beam joint is reduced, but also symmetric cantilever assembly can be realized for each bridge main pier, increasing the construction operation surface and accelerating the construction progress. For the four-span continuous curve bridge in this application, firstly, the adopted process is to erect a platform under the main bridge, which is mainly used for the assembly and welding of the prefabricated members in the factory, and the members are assembled and welded into an integral segment, and the single-segment cable hoisting is carried out by using the temporary cable cranes erected in advance on both banks; secondly, concrete needs to be poured into the steel truss beam members after the installation of the third truss beam segment; thirdly, the side span closure is completed first, and then the mid-span closure is completed. Summary of the Invention
[0003] Design Purpose: To design a technical method for the mid-span closure of a variable cross-section continuous steel truss beam across a river that not only successfully solves the problem of mid-span closure of variable cross-section continuous steel truss beam by cantilever lifting of loose parts, but also has strong on-site practicability.
[0004] Design Scheme: In order to achieve the above design purpose. In the design of the technical scheme of the present invention: The technical method for the mid-span closure of a variable cross-section continuous steel truss beam is based on a bridge with a span of 1330 meters, and is designed and studied to ensure the smooth installation of the mid-span closure segment. Due to space reasons, the hoisting process of the members of the mid-span closure segment is different from that of the members of the other segments, and due to factors such as manufacturing, installation, measurement, and axial elastic compression of the members of the mid-span closure segment, the errors accumulate here. Therefore, a margin needs to be added at one end when manufacturing the members of the mid-span closure segment in the factory, and the members of the closure segment are re-cut and drilled according to the on-site measured data in the factory.
[0005] 1. Key points for successful mid-span closure: ① The space is narrow, and the reasonable hoisting process of the members is the key, as well as the key and difficult points for closure; ② Determining the appropriate and reasonable measurement point positions on the members before closure and the actual measurement data are the key and difficult points for closure; ③ Ensuring the accuracy of secondary cutting and drilling based on the on-site measurement data is the key and difficult points for closure.
[0006] 2. Through on-site analysis of the actual measurement data, the following conclusions are obtained in the present invention: ① Through data analysis and calculation of the actual measurement, when the temperature rises, the elevation decreases, and when the temperature decreases, the elevation increases. ② Regarding the influence of temperature change on the elevation, the elevation changes of the upper and lower chord members are basically the same. Through data analysis and calculation of the actual measurement: for every 1°C increase in temperature, the elevation decreases by 3.4 mm. ③ Through data analysis and calculation of the actual measurement, the influence of temperature change on the mileage is different at different time periods. For every 1°C increase in temperature, the upper chord member elongates by 1.3 mm, and the lower chord member elongates by 0.7 mm. ④ Through analysis of the actual measurement data, the temperature change has no influence on the axis. ⑤ Through analysis and calculation, the actual length of the closure section members is finally obtained, and the drawing is drawn and fed back to the factory for secondary cutting and drilling.
[0007] 3. Working principle of the present invention: (1) Through multiple measurements, analysis, and discussions, the data measurement time is finally determined to be from 16°C to 20°C. (2) Determine the measurement positions: The measurement positions are set at the web extreme edge hole groups of the upper and lower chord members (as shown in Figure 2 ). (3) High-temperature closure is adopted for this closure. (4) In order to ensure stress-free rationality, the axial compression of the stay cables needs to be considered in the closure data to reduce the axial pressure generated by the temporary stay cables on the steel truss girder. Through modeling simulation and on-site actual measurement, the final axial compression is determined to be: 15 mm for the upper chord member, -5 mm for the lower chord member, and the temperature expansion and contraction amount: 0.9 mm / °C. (5) Stick small prisms at the measurement points, and use the Leica TCA1201 high-precision total station to measure the absolute elevation, mileage, and axis of the measurement point positions. Use a Great Wall Precision 30 m steel tape to measure the distance between the two measurement points as a verification of the total station measurement data to ensure the accuracy of the data. Measured data of the closure section (partial screenshot, see Figure 3 ). (6) Calculate the distance between the measurement points using the measured data, subtract the axial compression as the final dimension, and obtain the specific dimensions of the closure section members through simulation, and feed back to the base for secondary cutting and drilling (the closure section members have been pre-increased with cutting allowance and the hole groups have not been drilled during the previous manufacturing and production). Then it is shipped to the bridge site for installation.

Second, the present invention details the installation method for the mid-span closure of a variable cross-section continuous steel truss beam across a river in mountainous areas, which has reliable practicability and operability. Third, the installation method of the present invention belongs to piecemeal hoisting, which suits the characteristics of the western mountainous areas, is convenient for transportation and has low requirements for lifting equipment. Fourth, the closure method of the present invention fully considers factors such as temperature and the axial compression of temporary stay cables, achieving stress-free closure.
