Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge construction, and in particular to a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge subjected to less stress during a support stage. Background Art

[0002] A cable-stayed bridge, also known as a cable-stayed bridge, is a bridge in which the main beam 10 is directly pulled to the bridge tower by many cables. It is a structural system composed of compression towers, tension cables and bending beams.

[0003] A cable-stayed bridge is a bridge in which a main beam 10 is supported on towers 30 by several stay cables 20. It consists of three parts: the main beam 10, the stay cables 20, and the towers 30. A cable-stayed bridge is a self-anchored system, where the horizontal force of the stay cables 20 is borne by the beam. In addition to being supported by piers, the beam is also supported by the stay cables 20 extending from the towers 30.

[0004] Common cable-stayed bridge main beam 10 dismantling processes include blasting, hanging basket dismantling, in-situ demolition, scaffolding and segmented cutting of existing beams, and crane cutting in small sections. Each process has its own characteristics, advantages and disadvantages: blasting is suitable for mountainous areas, areas with few surrounding residents, and areas insensitive to the surrounding environment, but not suitable for areas with dense populations, adjacent to scenic spots, and downtown areas; hanging basket dismantling is suitable for the demolition of bridges in relatively good condition, but not suitable for dangerous bridges; in-situ demolition is suitable for the demolition of low-lying land bridges with few surrounding residents and little noise impact; the scaffolding method of whole-section demolition is suitable for the demolition of all types of main beams 10. Under the condition of bridge bottom height limit, the amount of scaffolding required is large; the crane small-piece cutting method is suitable for the demolition of bridges in good health.

[0005] There are many problems in dismantling the main beam 10 of a cable-stayed bridge with limited space at the bottom of the bridge, such as low efficiency of the bracket for setting up and dismantling the main beam 10, large span of the bracket designed outside the projection line of the main beam 10, etc. Moreover, if the bracket system needs to bear the load of the entire section of the main beam 10, then the load-bearing system requirements will be particularly high, which will cause a particularly large material investment. At the same time, there are problems such as low installation efficiency and extremely high cost. Therefore, we need to control the bracket force during the dismantling process and reduce the requirements for the bracket system.

[0006] In the above context, the applicant has proposed a new solution for dismantling the main beam 10 of a cable-stayed bridge. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a method for dismantling the main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with reduced stress at the support stage. The method utilizes the stepwise tensioning of the stay cables to control the stress on the support and dismantle the main beam in small sections. The technical solutions employed include:

[0008] A method for dismantling the main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress at the support stage comprises: gradually tensioning the stay cables in stages, then cutting the main beam in stages, releasing the self-weight of the main beam by releasing the oblique tension of the stay cables on the main beam, releasing part of the self-weight of the main beam in each stage, transferring part of the load of the main beam from the cables to the support system below the main beam, and cutting part of the main beam structure after each stage of release, wherein the self-weight of the cut main beam structure corresponds to the released part of the self-weight of the main beam; in the last stay cable tensioning stage, all the cable forces are released, transferring all the load of the remaining self-weight of the main beam to the support system below the main beam, and then cutting the remaining structure of the main beam in sections.

[0009] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress in the support stage includes a dismantling stage, which includes the following steps:

[0010] S1. Release 30% of the main beam's deadweight by releasing the diagonal tension of the stay cables on the main beam, and transfer 30% of the main beam's deadweight to the support system below the main beam;

[0012] S3. Release 30% of the main beam's deadweight by releasing the diagonal tension of the stay cables on the main beam, and transfer 30% of the main beam's deadweight to the support system below the main beam;

[0013] S4, cutting the beams on both sides of the main beam;

[0014] S5. Release all remaining cable forces in the stay cables and transfer all remaining deadweight loads of the main beam to the support system below the main beam.

[0015] S6. Cut the remaining structure of the main beam supported on the support system into sections.

[0016] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress in the support stage further includes a support system support stage before the dismantling stage, which includes the following steps:

[0017] S10. Drive steel pipe piles into the area outside the projection line directly below the main beam as a temporary support foundation;

[0018] S20, erecting a steel truss beam on top of the steel pipe pile to form a load-bearing platform spanning the main beam;

[0019] S30. Install a pressure ring and a beam bottom support pad at the fulcrum where the steel truss beam contacts the main beam, ensuring close contact between the main beam, the pressure ring and the beam bottom support pad;

[0020] S40, cutting off the joint end of the main beam to form a double cantilever structure. At this time, the main beam extends to both sides with the tower column as the center to form a cantilever;

[0021] S50. Select the stay cable on the side with the longest cantilever, install a through-hole jack at the anchor end of the stay cable at the top of the tower, and connect it to a pressure sensor.

[0022] According to a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress at the support stage according to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S2, the flange plate and the inclined web plate are cut with a wire saw, and both sides must be cut off simultaneously.

[0023] According to a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress during the support stage according to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S3, when releasing the tension of the stay cables, the stress on the pressure ring must be observed and fine-tuned to ensure that the stress is even.

[0024] According to a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress at the support stage according to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S4, the outer webs on both sides of the main beam and the bottom plates connected thereto are simultaneously removed.

[0025] According to a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress in the support stage according to an embodiment of the present invention, in step S6, the cutting of the remaining structure of the main beam must be segmented and symmetrical.

[0026] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress at the support stage requires symmetrical unloading when tensioning the cable stays at each stage, with the cables on both sides being tensioned alternately from the mid-span toward the bridge tower.

[0027] According to a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress in a support stage according to an embodiment of the present invention, the beam bottom support pad is a steel plate or a rubber pad.

[0028] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a method for dismantling a main beam of a cable-stayed bridge with less stress at the support stage includes, in step S40, setting temporary supports on both sides of the joint section to be removed; and using a diamond wire saw to remove the concrete or steel joint section in sections.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0030] The present invention is applied to the dismantling of the main beam of a cable-stayed bridge, making full use of the advantage of graded unloading of the cable-stayed cable, which can greatly reduce the stress on the bracket at each stage, and at the same time use the pressure ring to accurately read the load transferred to the bracket, so as to achieve precise control of the stress on the cable and the stress on the bracket, and then cut in sections, thereby replacing the conventional large-segment removal, in which all the loads are transferred to the beam storage bracket. The bracket is difficult to install under the limited space at the bottom of the bridge, the span of the projected outer side pile driving is large, and the investment in the steel structure of the load-bearing system increases dramatically. The present invention uses the cable-stayed cable to be tensioned step by step in stages, and the load is transferred step by step to the dismantling bracket, and the main beam structure is removed in stages, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing the stress on the bracket, thereby reducing the investment in the bracket.
