Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of tunnel support structures, specifically to an I-beam connection node and connection method for tunnel support. Background Technology

[0002] After the tunnel is excavated, a large number of I-beam arch frames are used as the support structure. The prefabricated I-beam arch frame units are transported to the installation position and positioned on the construction site. After the connecting plates at the ends of adjacent arch frame units are aligned, high-strength bolts are used to pass through the reserved holes on the connecting plates and then initially tightened. Then, a torque wrench is used to finally tighten the bolts according to the design requirements to achieve the specified pre-tightening force to ensure the node stiffness. After the connection is completed, the overall position and shape of the arch frame need to be re-measured to ensure that they share the force and form a complete support system.

[0003] Existing I-beam connection nodes have many problems: misalignment between steel connecting plates makes it difficult to ensure splicing accuracy; the extensive use of bolts between I-beams leads to low construction efficiency and can easily cause construction accidents due to loose bolts, affecting the safety of construction personnel. Therefore, an I-beam connection node and connection method for tunnel support is proposed. Summary of the Invention
