Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge reinforcement, and particularly to a prestressed reinforcement device for arch bridges and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the central and western regions, the transportation of extra-large and extra-heavy industrial large-scale equipment (such as large power generation equipment, heavy equipment, and construction machinery) by road has shown a normal trend. The load standards of early-built arch bridges are relatively low, and the load of large-scale equipment transportation vehicles often far exceeds the design live load of the bridges. The large load effect is greater than the design effect of the operating bridges. To ensure the operation safety of the transportation equipment and the bridges, such bridges are usually demolished and rebuilt or strengthened and upgraded.

[0003] At present, the commonly used reinforcement methods for arch bridges mainly include three methods: increasing the main arch section, adjusting the dead load of the superstructure on the arch, and enhancing the integrity. The commonly used reinforcement methods for arch bridges usually adopt methods such as concrete pouring and steel plate pasting, but these methods have the disadvantages of long construction period, high cost, and great influence on the original structure. Therefore, there is an urgent need for an efficient, economical, and reliable arch bridge reinforcement device and method. Summary of the Invention
