Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of composite bridges, and in particular relates to a segmental beam-truss composite bridge using longitudinal limited locking connecting keys. Background Art

[0002] Long-span steel-concrete composite bridges fully utilize the properties of concrete and steel, offering advantages such as outstanding economic efficiency, high overall structural rigidity, favorable conditions for high-speed traffic and ballastless track installation, and high energy efficiency. However, composite bridges generally suffer from the following drawbacks: complex design and construction of the steel-concrete combination, high construction precision requirements, temperature fluctuations that impose additional stress on the structure, the need for secondary concrete pouring to connect shear keys to the bridge deck, resulting in construction complications, the risk of cracking in the concrete slab, and low prestressing efficiency due to the combined loads of the slab and truss when prestressing the bridge deck. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The present invention is proposed to solve the problems existing in the prior art, and its purpose is to provide a segmental beam-truss combination bridge using longitudinal limited locking connecting keys.

[0004] The technical solution of the present invention is: a segmental beam-truss composite bridge using a longitudinal limited locking connecting key, including a concrete beam, which is assembled from a number of segmental short beams along the bridge direction, and the concrete beam is arranged above the steel truss beam to directly bear the bridge deck load; a multi-directional locking connecting key connecting the segmental short beam and the steel truss beam is provided between the two, the upper end of the multi-directional locking connecting key is fixed to the embedded part in the segmental short beam, and the lower end of the multi-directional locking connecting key is connected to the top plate in the steel truss beam.

[0005] Furthermore, the cross-section of the segmental short beam is a π-shaped cross-section or a box-shaped cross-section, a convex beam end tenon is formed on one side of the segmental short beam, and a concave beam end tenon is formed on the other side of the segmental short beam, and the beam end tenons and beam end tenons between adjacent segmental short beams are overlapped.

[0006] Furthermore, expansion joints are provided between the segmented short beams, and the segmented short beams are prestressed concrete beams.

[0007] Furthermore, the steel truss includes an upper chord node and an upper cross beam, and the multi-directional locking connection key includes a fixed connection key and a longitudinal limited locking connection key, the fixed connection key connects the upper chord node and the segment short beam, and the longitudinal limited locking connection key connects the upper cross beam and the segment short beam.

[0008] Furthermore, the fixed connection key includes an upper pad, a lower pad and a fixed supporting steel plate vertically connecting the two. The upper pad is fixed to the fixed connection key concrete beam embedded part in the segment short beam, and the lower pad is fixed to the top plate of the upper chord node.

[0009] Furthermore, the longitudinal limited locking connection key includes an upper sliding support plate connected to the segment short beam and a lower support groove connected to the upper crossbeam top plate. The upper sliding support plate is inserted into the lower support groove, and the two are in contact through the sliding surface between the upper and lower plates.

[0010] Furthermore, a longitudinal elastic device is provided between the upper sliding support plate and the lower support channel.

[0011] Furthermore, the upper end of the upper sliding support plate is fixed to the longitudinal limited locking connection key concrete beam embedded part in the segment short beam.

[0012] Furthermore, the lower supporting channel is fixed to the steel truss upper crossbeam top plate connecting piece at the upper end of the upper crossbeam top plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the steel truss is a truss of equal height or variable height, and the truss of the steel truss adopts a large-span steel truss, and a local stiffening structure is provided in the upper chord node of the steel truss to meet the local pressure-bearing requirements.

[0014] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: The present invention divides the full-length bridge deck into several segments of equal-span short beams, and sets expansion joints between the segment short beams, which can effectively release the additional stress caused by the accumulation of shrinkage creep of the bridge deck and the temperature difference of steel and concrete in long sections.

[0015] The segmental short beams of the present invention are prefabricated in a factory and hoisted on site, avoiding on-site concrete pouring. Shear nails for connecting with the bridge deck do not need to be set above the steel trusses. At the same time, the construction is simple, the process is mature, and the quality is easier to ensure.

[0016] The segmental short beam of the present invention has a convex tenon at one end and a concave tenon at the other end. Adjacent segmental beams are overlapped by matching the convex tenon and the concave tenon, which can not only release part of the displacement of the beam end, but also realize the continuity of the longitudinal force transmission of the concrete beam.

[0017] The segmental short beams of the present invention use prestressed concrete components and are tensioned in the prefabrication site. The prestress can be fully converted into prestress of the concrete beam. The prestressing efficiency is high, ensuring that the concrete beam has sufficient crack resistance. At the same time, the storage time of the prefabricated components in the factory can be appropriately extended, which can greatly reduce the shrinkage and creep effects of the structure in the later stage.

[0018] The external load borne by the concrete beam of the present invention can be directly transmitted to the upper chord node of the steel truss through the multi-directional locking connection key. The force transmission path is shorter and more direct, the force is more clearly defined, and more space is provided for optimizing the cross-sectional form and size of the chord.

[0019] The side support of the present invention is supported at the upper chord node, which can reduce the girder height of the side support, make the transition with the adjacent beam height and make the change of structural rigidity smoother.

[0020] The present invention is not limited to concrete beam-steel truss composite bridges, but is also applicable to other types of composite bridges such as concrete beam-steel box, concrete beam-I-beam, etc. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
