Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of bridge construction, and in particular to a method for manufacturing and installing a large-span steel guide beam for high piers in mountainous areas, including the construction of a cantilever bracket, a guide beam assembly cradle, guide beam assembly, a beam lifting station, a lifting gantry, guide beam lifting, and a transverse movement system. Background Art
[0002] During bridge jacking construction, guide beams are often installed at the front end of the main beam to facilitate jacking over the span and piers, while also reducing the jacking overturning moment, which is beneficial to smooth pier placement and anti-overturning stability. Traditional steel guide beam jacking over the span often utilizes an assembly site to assemble the guide beam and steel beam, and then jacking over the span and piers multiple times. This method requires a large assembly site, and the steel guide beam needs to be jacked over the span and piers multiple times. At the same time, the beam is dropped at a high height, posing a greater safety risk. To address the shortcomings of limited assembly space and a high beam drop height (6m), a cantilever bracket is installed at the pier top, and a guide beam assembly cradle is arranged between the pier columns. A beam lifting station and a lifting hanger are used to lift and laterally move the front and rear ends of the guide beam to the pier top and cantilever bracket, completing the guide beam jacking over the span and pier, improving construction efficiency and reducing safety risks.
[0003] The construction method has several main characteristics: 1. A guide beam installation cradle is set between the piers. The guide beam is lifted and moved horizontally to its full position, which can solve the problems caused by insufficient assembly space and steep terrain in mountainous areas.
[0004] 2. Using the lifting station and the lifting gantry to lift the guide beam as a whole, move it horizontally and install it in sections can speed up the efficiency of the guide beam crossing the pier and reduce the safety risks of high beam drop height. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing, installing and constructing large-span steel guide beams for high piers in mountainous areas, which can solve the problems caused by insufficient assembly sites and steep terrain in mountainous areas. At the same time, it can speed up the efficiency of the guide beams crossing the piers and reduce the safety risks of high beam drop heights.
[0006] The present invention provides a method for manufacturing and installing a large-span steel guide beam for a high pier in a mountainous area, which is achieved by the following specific technical means: A method for manufacturing and installing a large-span steel guide beam for high piers in mountainous areas includes the design and construction of structures such as a cantilever bracket, a guide beam assembly cradle, guide beam assembly, a beam lifting station, a lifting gantry, guide beam lifting, and a transverse movement system.
[0007] Cantilever bracket installation: The cantilever bracket pier height is approximately 60m. After the entire bridge deck is assembled, the cantilever bracket is hoisted and installed using a crane. The distribution beam is constructed of HN600×200 steel, the upper chord of the assembly bracket is constructed of 2HN600×200 steel, the diagonal brace is constructed of 2HN600×200 steel, and the connection system is constructed of 2[16b steel. Walking jacks are installed on the distribution beam to push the steel guide beam segments.
[0008] Steel guide beam assembly: The standard span of a steel truss is 80m. To ensure the integral lifting and transverse movement of the steel guide beam onto the pier, the guide beam is designed to be 80m long. The steel guide beam is a truss structure, with 7m spacing across the bridge, consistent with the main bridge steel beams. The spacing between the guide beam truss nodes is 5m. Bolt connections are used between guide beam segments and between the steel guide beam and the upper and lower chords of the steel truss. The main chord of the steel guide beam is made of Q355B steel, while the remaining structure is made of Q235B steel. The steel guide beam is manufactured in sections at the factory, and the steel guide beam is assembled and connected after the on-site assembly cradle is fabricated.
[0009] Assembly cradle fabrication: measurement and layout were carried out below pier 10-11#, and the position of the cradle steel pipe column foundation was determined in combination with the terrain. Based on the on-site measured foundation bearing capacity (≥200kPa), a 1.5×1.5×0.5m C30 concrete independent foundation was selected for the cradle steel pipe column foundation. Φ426×6mm steel pipes were used for the columns, Φ219×6mm steel pipes were used for the connection system, and a 2HN400×200mm distribution beam was set on the top for assembly of steel guide beam segments.
[0010] Installation of 10# pier lifting beam station: 10# pier lifting beam station is anchored on the installed T-beam, the front end is supported on the T-beam by a pad beam, and the rear anchor is tied to the T-beam as a whole through the precision-rolled threaded steel bar and the lower anchor beam.
[0011] Installation of the lifting gantry for Pier 11#: A lifting gantry was installed at the top of Pier 11#. Eight Φ630×8mm steel pipe columns were installed on both sides of the left and right spandrel beams. 2HN900×300 steel section beams were used as distribution beams on the top of the columns. The distribution beams connected the trusses, which primarily utilized 2[28b steel as the main truss structure. I28b and 2[20b steel were used as transverse connections to connect the left and right trusses. A 50t overhead crane was installed on each side of the front end of the trusses, connecting them to the ground guide beams via Φ15.2mm steel strands.
[0012] Guide beam lifting and transverse movement design: Before lifting, four lifting lugs were installed at the front and rear fulcrums of the guide beam's upper chord. The front end was secured by two 50t lifting cranes on the 11# pier lifting gantry, connected to steel strands. The rear end was connected to the guide beam's front lifting lugs by the lifting slings at the lifting station. Pier 11#'s transverse movement employed two hydraulic continuous jacks, each with a 1.2m displacement. Holes were drilled at 1m intervals at the distribution beam locations on the lifting gantry. The trusses and distribution beams were connected using 2cm-thick PTFE slides, which were coated with butter. The 10# pier lifting station was equipped with a transverse movement crane system, capable of remote-controlled transverse movement via slide rails. Once transversely moved into position, one end was placed on the 10# pier assembly bracket, while the other end was connected to the 11# pier's top guide beam segment B, forming a single unit supported on the temporary support pads at the 11# pier.
[0013] The present invention has the following advantages: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing and installing a large-span steel guide beam for high piers in mountainous areas, which belongs to the field of bridge construction technology and includes the construction of a cantilever bracket, a guide beam assembly cradle, guide beam assembly, a beam lifting station, a lifting gantry, a guide beam lifting, and a transverse movement system. By setting a guide beam installation cradle between the 10-11# pier columns and lifting and transversely moving the guide beam as a whole, the effects of insufficient assembly space and the steep terrain in mountainous areas can be resolved. At the same time, by using the beam lifting station and the lifting gantry to lift, transversely move, and install the guide beam as a whole, the efficiency of the guide beam crossing the pier can be accelerated, and the safety risk of the high height of the dropped beam can be reduced.

[0019] Steel guide beam assembly: The standard span of a steel truss is 80m. To ensure the integral lifting and transverse movement of the steel guide beam onto the pier, the guide beam 3 is designed to be 80m long. The steel guide beam 3 is a truss structure, with 7m spacing across the bridge, consistent with the main bridge's steel beams. The guide beam truss nodes are spaced 5m apart.
