[0031] Embodiment:
[0032] The embodiments of the application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the application, but not all the embodiments.
[0033] In the description of this invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this invention.
[0034] like Figure 1 The method for constructing an overpass at a highway interchange, wherein the highway interchange includes an overpass steel box girder bridge and an existing highway, is used to erect the overpass steel box girder bridge above the existing highway, and includes the following steps:
[0035] S1, to widen the roadbed and construct the substructure of the bridges on the left and right sides of the existing highway construction section;
[0036] S2, Construction is carried out on the pile foundations of the overpass steel box girder bridge located in the median strip of the existing expressway;
[0037] S3, carry out the construction of the substructure of the existing highway intermediate bridge;
[0038] S4 will proceed with the construction of the steel box girder, precast beam erection, and bridge deck system on the left and right sides of the existing expressway in sequence. When the construction of the current lane of the existing expressway is carried out, the traffic on the current lane of the existing expressway will be closed, and the other lane of the existing expressway will be used for two-way traffic.
[0039] S5, proceed with road surface construction for the overpass steel box girder bridge.
[0040] This invention widens the roadbed of an existing expressway and closes one lane during overpass construction, allowing two-way traffic using the opposite lane. This ensures the existing expressway remains open to traffic while the overpass construction is completed, improving construction efficiency, shortening the construction period, and reducing the impact of the overpass construction on the existing expressway's traffic flow. Specifically, in this embodiment, the expressway hub intersection overpass construction method aims to ensure vehicle traffic during the half-lane road diversion period by temporarily widening the lanes within a certain length (e.g., 1.58km) of the existing expressway's left and right lanes. The average width of the widened roadbed is set according to the actual situation (5m), and its standard cross-section diagram is attached. Figure 2 As shown. To ensure the stability of the widened roadbed, the widened roadbed 2 consists of a rockfill subgrade + 16cm graded crushed stone + 22cm 4% water-stabilized base course + 36cm 5% thick water-stabilized crushed stone base course + 8cm AC25C coarse-grained asphalt concrete + 6cm medium-grained asphalt concrete + 4cm fine-grained modified asphalt concrete. See appendix. Figure 3As shown, the outer side guardrails of the 1.5m wide fiberglass cloth laid between the road surfaces of the widened sections in the embodiment are surrounded by concrete guardrails 3, and the longitudinal connection between the concrete guardrails is achieved by using angle steel, and the back steel supports with a longitudinal distance of 2m are closely arranged on the back, the back steel supports are anchored on the road surface on the side of the construction area by M24 bolts 4, and the anchoring depth is 19cm. The roadbed widening process of step S1 in the embodiment is shown in the attached Figure 4 As shown.
[0041] Referring to the attached Figure 5 As shown, the culvert splicing in step S1 of the embodiment also includes that the existing road slope is continuously and longitudinally supported by the Larsen steel sheet piles 5 before the extension construction, and the existing highway roadbed is protected, and the culvert top is provided with temporary steel sheet piles to ensure the normal steel sheet pile occlusion quality on both sides of the culvert body. When the cantilever height is less than 6m, the Larsen steel sheet pile SP-I is used, and when the cantilever height is less than 8m, the Larsen steel sheet pile SP-V is used, and the length of the Larsen steel sheet pile needs to ensure that the anchoring depth in the soil is not less than 0.8 times the pit depth, and is appropriately adjusted according to the geological conditions and the filling height, so as to meet the requirements of the culvert extension construction at different pit depths. The roadbed slope behind the culvert platform is excavated by grading, and does not need to be supported by steel sheet piles. After the construction is completed, all the steel sheets are pulled out.
[0042] Before the existing culvert cone protection slope, wing wall and other affiliated structures are removed, the Larsen steel sheet piles are supported along the existing road slope at the extension position, and the supporting range is accurate to the range of the backfilling of the culvert platform. The length of the steel sheet pile needs to be determined according to the height of the proposed culvert passage and the site conditions, and the anchoring depth in the soil is not less than 0.8 times the pit depth, so as to prevent the soil from being unstable and collapsed due to vehicle vibration, affecting the safety of driving, and safety warning signs are set on the roadside to remind passing vehicles.
[0043] According to the site construction conditions, the single insertion method is used. From one corner, each block is inserted and inserted without stopping in the middle. Therefore, the pile machine has a short walking route, the construction is simple, and the setting speed is fast. However, due to single insertion, it is easy to tilt to one side, the cumulative error is not easy to correct, and the flatness of the wall surface is difficult to control.
[0044] ①First, the axis of the steel sheet pile is determined by the survey personnel, and guide piles can be set at certain intervals, and then the guide wire is hung as a guide line, and the axis of the steel sheet pile is controlled by the guide line during piling. In the case of high axial normal requirement, a guide frame is used.
[0045] ②Prepare the pile cap and send the pile: the piling machine lifts the steel sheet pile, and the workers manually right the position.
[0046] ③Single pile continuous, pay attention to the top elevation of the pile.
[0047] ④ During the driving process, the inclination of each pile should be measured and monitored at any time to ensure that it does not exceed 2%. If the inclination is too large and cannot be corrected by pulling it together, it should be pulled out and driven again.
[0048] Specifically, in step S4, during the hoisting of the steel box girder, temporary supports are erected to assist in supporting the upper span of the steel box girder. See Appendix. Figures 6-7 As shown, the temporary support described in this embodiment is a steel support system composed of steel pipes and structural steel sections: including adjusting short columns 6, I-beams 7, channel steel 8, steel pipe columns 9, and foundations 10. The adjusting short columns are used to adjust the flatness and control the elevation of the steel box girder; after the steel box girder is in place, the adjusting short columns are used to control the flatness and elevation of the assembled steel box girder. The I-beams mainly serve to distribute forces and provide jacking and sliding support. The temporary support and foundation mainly serve to provide temporary support and bear the weight of the steel box girder, and are dismantled after the steel box girder is installed. The temporary support uses φ273×8 steel pipe columns, with 10# channel steel used for transverse connections between columns, 10# channel steel for diagonal bracing, and double-splitting 2×I40a I-beams for distribution beams. Pads and leveling steel pipes are installed at the top of the columns to adjust the flatness of the assembled steel box girder, with a height of 300mm. All components of the temporary support are made of Q235 steel.
[0049] To avoid affecting lane traffic, the temporary support structure is 1.5m wide and has three steel pipe lattice columns arranged laterally. The steel pipe columns are connected by channel steel horizontal bracing and channel steel diagonal bracing. The spacing between the steel pipe columns in the transverse direction is 3 meters. After the temporary support structure is placed, it is protected by concrete guardrails to prevent impact.
[0050] During the installation of steel box girders, the erection of temporary supports is a crucial step. A comprehensive inspection must be conducted before hoisting the steel box girders. Key checks include the verticality of the supports and the overall stability of the support system. The top elevation of all temporary supports must be re-measured. Installation edges and centerlines must be measured and marked on the piers and all temporary supports. Positioning blocks must be welded, and settlement observation points must be set up.
[0051] The temporary support system utilizes steel pipe lattice columns and reinforced concrete spread foundations. The columns are Φ273*8mm steel pipe columns, fixed at the column bases with pre-embedded steel plates. The distribution beams at the column tops are made of 2*I40a steel sections, and the adjusting short columns at the top of the distribution beams are made of φ200 round pipes. The top surface is cut at different angles according to the cross slope of the box girder to ensure dense and stable support. Other diagonal braces use 10# channel steel components. Diagonal braces are added in the plane using a triangular structure to ensure support stability. Each set of supports has a vertical up-and-down channel supported by φ14 threaded steel bars, with protective cages and fall arrestors. Temporary supports are set according to the location characteristics of the steel box girder and the segmented locations of the beam processing. During the overspan construction, temporary supports are erected for temporary support. The temporary support structure controls the elevation and alignment of the steel box girder, ensuring that the girder's alignment meets design requirements.
