Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of reinforcement and reconstruction of existing bridges, and in particular to a bridge widening and reconstruction structural system and a construction method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the technical requirements for bridge reconstruction and expansion, the superstructure (main beam) of the newly built bridge and the existing bridge are usually connected as a whole to facilitate traffic. The newly built bridge piers and the existing bridge piers have the characteristic of jointly resisting earthquake effects. This also brings about complex problems: in terms of seismic fortification and performance requirements, the capacity of existing bridge piers and foundations is often weak, and reinforcement measures are needed to effectively improve their ductility. However, foundation reinforcement has the obvious disadvantages of being economically and time-consuming. When soft soil / liquefied sites are involved, the contradiction will be more prominent. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bridge structure system for widening and reconstruction and a method for constructing the system, which solves the problem that the piers and foundations of existing bridges have insufficient seismic resistance and reinforcement is time-consuming and costly.

[0004] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0005] The present invention provides a bridge structure system for widening and renovating, comprising: an existing bridge and a newly built bridge, wherein the main beam of the existing bridge is connected to the main beam of the newly built bridge, a first support is provided between the cap beam of the existing bridge and the main beam of the existing bridge, the first support is used to achieve sliding between the cap beam of the existing bridge and the main beam of the existing bridge, a second support is provided between the cap beam of the newly built bridge and the main beam of the newly built bridge, the second support is used to consume earthquake energy.

[0006] In some specific solutions, there are two newly built bridges, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the existing bridge.

[0007] In some specific solutions, the two piers of the newly built bridge are preferably symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pier of the existing bridge.

[0008] In some specific solutions, the two main beams of the newly constructed bridges are preferably symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main beam of the existing bridge.

[0009] In some specific embodiments, the first support is a sliding friction support.

[0010] In some specific embodiments, the second support is a seismic isolation support.

[0011] In some specific solutions, first blocks are provided at both ends of the cap beam of the existing bridge.

[0012] In some specific solutions, second blocks are provided at both ends of the cap beam of the newly built bridge.

[0013] In some specific solutions, the width of the cap beam of the existing bridge can be appropriately widened, and the width of the cap beam of the existing bridge is greater than the width of the cap beam of the newly built bridge.

[0014] The present invention also provides a method for constructing the widening and reconstruction bridge structure system, comprising:

[0015] Constructing piers for the new bridge on both sides of the piers of the existing bridge;

[0016] Constructing the main beams of the new bridge on both sides of the main beam of the existing bridge, and connecting the main beams of the new bridge to the main beams of the existing bridge;

[0021] In the widening and reconstruction bridge structure system of the present invention, the piers of the existing bridge mainly bear the weight of the main beam of the existing bridge, the main beam of the newly built bridge, and the cars traveling on the bridge deck. By setting a first bearing between the cap beam of the existing bridge and the main beam of the existing bridge to achieve sliding, the piers and foundation of the existing bridge no longer bear the horizontal seismic force of the main beam of the existing bridge and the main beam of the newly built bridge, so that the purpose of not needing seismic reinforcement is achieved; by setting a second bearing between the cap beam of the newly built bridge and the main beam of the newly built bridge to consume seismic energy, the purpose of reducing the seismic force applied to the newly built piers and foundation is achieved, making the ductile seismic design of the newly built piers easier to achieve. These will also significantly reduce the earthquake collapse risk of the bridge structure after the expansion and renovation, and have significant economic benefits. The widening and reconstruction bridge structure system of the present invention solves the problem of unified seismic design after the main beam of the existing bridge is connected to the main beam of the new bridge.

[0030] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a bridge structure system for widening and reconstruction and a method for constructing the system, which solves the problem that the piers and foundations of existing bridges have insufficient seismic resistance and reinforcement is time-consuming and costly.

[0032] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Example 1

[0034] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, this embodiment provides a bridge structure system for widening and renovating, including: an existing bridge 1 and a newly built bridge 2, the main beam 4 of the existing bridge is connected to the main beam 7 of the newly built bridge, a first bearing 5 is provided between the cap beam 3 of the existing bridge and the main beam 4 of the existing bridge, the first bearing 5 is used to realize sliding between the cap beam 3 of the existing bridge and the main beam 4 of the existing bridge, a second bearing 8 is provided between the cap beam 6 of the newly built bridge and the main beam 7 of the newly built bridge, the second bearing 8 is used to consume earthquake energy.

[0035] In specific implementations of some embodiments, there are two newly built bridges 2 , and the two newly built bridges 2 are respectively arranged on both sides of the existing bridge 1 .

[0036] In some embodiments, the piers of the two newly constructed bridges 2 are symmetrically arranged on either side of the piers of the existing bridge 1; and the main beams 7 of the two newly constructed bridges are symmetrically arranged on either side of the main beam 4 of the existing bridge. The symmetrical arrangement of the two newly constructed bridges 2 on either side of the existing bridge 1 ensures balanced force on the entire bridge structure and avoids eccentric loading (seismic torsion) caused by installing the new bridge 2 on only one side of the existing bridge 1.

[0037] In the specific implementation of some embodiments, the first bearing 5 is a sliding friction bearing, which can improve the stress-bearing performance of the bridge structure and reduce the seismic requirements for existing piers and foundations, and adapt to greater displacement requirements. The first bearing 5 can dissipate energy through friction and cooperate with the second bearing 8 to jointly reduce the transmission of seismic force to the piers of the newly built bridge 2, thereby protecting the piers of the newly built bridge 2 from greater damage.

[0038] In the specific implementation of some embodiments, the second support 8 is a seismic isolation support. By arranging the seismic isolation support between the cap beam 6 of the newly built bridge and the main beam 7 of the newly built bridge, the horizontal seismic energy of the main beam 4 of the existing bridge and the main beam 7 of the newly built bridge is dissipated by the seismic isolation support.

[0039] In specific implementations of some embodiments, first blocks are provided at both ends of the cap beam 3 of the existing bridge; second blocks are provided at both ends of the cap beam 6 of the newly built bridge; the first blocks and the second blocks can prevent the beam from falling.

[0040] In some embodiments, in order to solve the problem of fallen beams on old bridges, Figure 4 As shown, the cap beam 3 of the existing bridge is widened on both sides. By widening the cap beam, the ability to resist falling beam damage is improved.

[0041] In some specific implementations of the embodiments, the width of the cap beam 3 of the existing bridge may be greater than the width of the cap beam 6 of the newly built bridge.

[0042] In the widening and reconstruction bridge structure system of this embodiment, the piers of the existing bridge 1 mainly bear the weight of the main beam 4 of the existing bridge, the main beam 7 of the newly built bridge, and the weight of the cars on the bridge deck. By setting sliding friction bearings between the cap beam 3 of the existing bridge and the main beam 4 of the existing bridge, sliding and energy dissipation are achieved. The piers and foundation of the existing bridge 1 no longer bear the horizontal seismic forces of the main beam 4 of the existing bridge and the main beam 7 of the newly built bridge, achieving the purpose of not requiring seismic reinforcement. The piers and foundation of the newly built bridge 2 resist the horizontal seismic effects of the main beam 4 of the existing bridge and the main beam 7 of the newly built bridge with ductility. By setting seismic isolation bearings between the cap beam 6 of the newly built bridge and the main beam 7 of the newly built bridge, the seismic energy is consumed, and the earthquake collapse risk of the bridge structure after the reconstruction and expansion is significantly reduced, which has significant economic benefits. The widening and reconstruction bridge structure system of this embodiment solves the problem of unified seismic design after the main beam 4 of the existing bridge is connected to the main beam of the new bridge. More importantly, it solves the problem that the piers and foundation of the existing bridge 1 have insufficient seismic capacity, and reinforcement is time-consuming and costly.

[0046] The deck of the new bridge 2 is constructed symmetrically on both sides of the main beam 4 of the existing bridge to form the main beam 7 of the new bridge, and the main beam 7 of the new bridge is connected to the main beam 4 of the existing bridge. Specifically, the deck of the new bridge 2 and the deck of the existing bridge 1 are laterally connected by a diaphragm.

[0047] A first support 5 is provided between the cap beam 3 of the existing bridge and the main beam 4 of the existing bridge;

[0048] A second support 8 is provided between the cap beam 6 of the newly constructed bridge and the main beam 7 of the newly constructed bridge;

[0049] The cap beam 3 of an existing bridge can be widened.
