The side span is a steel concrete composite box arch, and the middle span is a steel tube concrete arch. The middle span is connected together by the side arch and the orthotropic steel bridge deck panel.

The box body weld is welded, then the joint plate unit is assembled and welded, and then the anchor box is assembled and welded on the side girder. Finally, the hole is drilled to complete the manufacturing of the side girder segment.

[0006] Further, the steps are specifically as follows: S1: first, the side girder is divided into several side girder segments. In order to realize the active tensioning closure, after the construction calculation, the length of each side girder segment is shortened, and the position of the side girder segment partition plate and the anchor box is adjusted.

By coordinating multiple reference lines at different positions, a high-precision side main beam that meets the requirements of active tensioning technology can be manufactured.

[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the longitudinal and transverse baselines in this invention.

[0014] Figures 3-9 This is a schematic diagram of the assembly process in this invention. Detailed Implementation

[0015] To further illustrate the technical means and effects of the present invention in achieving its intended purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structures, features, and effects of the present invention, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments, is provided below.

[0016] like Figure 1 The diagram shows a side beam of a mid-span steel-concrete composite arch bridge. The side beam includes a main side beam 1 and two side box arches 2, which are respectively located on both sides of the main side beam 1. The diagram shows only half of the entire side beam structure; the other half is connected to... Figure 1 The structure shown is the same, with the side beam divided into several segments, which are defined as A1, A2, A3, B1, C1, D1, C2, D2, E1, E2, F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9 and F10 in sequence. Among them, A1, A2 and A3 are the arch-beam combination area, B1 is the widening area, C1 and C2 are the column area, D1 and D2 are the regular area, E1 and E2 are the arch-beam intersection area, and F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9 and F10 are the hanger area.

[0017] The fabrication process of the side main beams of the mid-span steel-concrete composite arch bridge of the present invention is the fabrication process of F1, F2, F3, F4, F5, F6, F7, F8, F9 and F10, which is specifically achieved through the following steps: S1: First, the main beam 1 is divided into several side beam segments. In order to achieve active tensioning and closure, after construction calculation, the length of each side beam segment is shortened and the position of the side beam segment partition and anchor box is adjusted. The cross-section of the side beam segment has an outer height of 2.5m and an inner width of 1.6m. At the beam end, in order to adapt to the connection with the side arch, the width gradually changes to 3.0m (i.e., B1). The center distance is 17.2m and the bridge deck width is 18.8~20.2m. The layout is redone according to the adjusted position, and the construction drawings are drawn.

[0018] S2: Cut steel plates according to the drawn construction drawings, and make wall panel units and partition units. During the cutting process, due to the influence of welding shrinkage, if the construction is carried out according to the design dimensions of the construction drawings, it will cause the position deviation of the partition of the side beam segment and the length of the side beam segment will be shortened. Therefore, welding shrinkage allowance is set between the positions of each partition of the side beam segment before cutting.

[0019] The wall panel unit is a horizontal steel plate, and the partition unit is composed of several partitions. During assembly, the long axis of the partitions is aligned with the long axis of the wall panel unit. The partitions are placed side by side along the width of the wall panel unit. The longitudinal and transverse baselines are drawn on the wall panel unit.

[0020] Specifically, such as Figure 2 As shown, the longitudinal baseline is a center baseline of the wall panel unit drawn along the long axis of the wall panel unit, and the transverse baseline is a side baseline drawn along the width of the wall panel unit on one side of the wall panel unit, and one end of each partition plate is aligned with the transverse baseline.

[0021] S3: Assemble the wall panel unit and partition unit on the panel unit jig, and use flame to trim the unevenness of the partition plate. Using the contact edge between the partition plate and the wall panel unit as a reference, process the other three sides of the partition plate to ensure the size of the partition plate.

[0022] S4: The assembled wall panel units and partition units are placed on the anti-deformation platform of the welding robot. The welding robot welds the wall panel units and partition units to form a single plate unit. This plate unit serves as the bottom plate, partition, web plate, and top plate of the side beam segment. The welded plate unit is then placed on the plate unit assembly jig and heat-straightened to a flat surface. Welding of the plate units is achieved with the assistance of the welding robot. The welding robot provides stable operation, effectively ensuring weld quality and controlling welding shrinkage. The anti-deformation jig can offset some of the welding deformation.

[0023] S5: Assemble the base plate unit, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bottom plate of the segmented edge beam is used as the shape of the bottom surface of the jig. The ground pattern line of the edge main beam is drawn on the ground. The jig is placed on the jig until the bottom plate coincides with the ground pattern line. The bottom plate is then fixed to the jig. Based on the horizontal and vertical baselines, the partition line and web line are drawn on the bottom plate.

[0024] S6: Assemble the partition unit, such as Figure 4 As shown, according to the partition line in step S5, the partitions are assembled on the base plate to ensure the verticality of the partitions and the spacing between them. As the inner core of the side beam segment, the manufacturing accuracy of the partitions directly affects the geometric dimensions of the side beam segment. Therefore, controlling the assembly accuracy of the partitions provides a good foundation for the high precision of the geometric dimensions of the subsequent side beam segment.

[0025] S7: Assemble the web plate unit, such as Figure 5 As shown, according to the web line in step S5, the webs are assembled on both sides of the diaphragm on the bottom plate, and the width and height of the side beam segments are controlled by controlling the width and height of the diaphragm and the baseline.

[0026] S8: Assemble the top plate unit, such as Figure 6 As shown, a top plate is assembled at the top of the partition and the web to form a box-shaped side beam segment. One side of the bottom plate and the top plate has an extension that extends out of one of the webs. The top of the web has an anchor plate that extends out of the top plate. A through hole is opened on the top plate to allow the anchor plate to pass through. An anchor box baseline is drawn on the anchor plate.

[0027] S9: Weld the box body welds, weld the partitions and main longitudinal seams. After flaw detection, proceed to step S10.

[0028] S10: Assemble the connector plate unit and weld it, such as Figure 7 As shown, the joint plate is assembled on the side wall of the web with the transverse baseline as the reference. The upper and lower sides of the joint plate are located between the extensions of the bottom plate and the top plate, respectively. The positional accuracy of the joint plate is controlled, and the remaining welds are welded.

[0029] S11: Assemble the anchor box, such as Figure 8 As shown, the anchor box consists of anchor plates, anchor pipes, pressure plates, and a top sealing plate. There are two pressure plates, symmetrically distributed on both sides of the bottom surface of the top sealing plate. The bottom ends of the two pressure plates are fixed by a pair of anchor plates. An anchor pipe, passing between the two pressure plates and extending from the top sealing plate, is also provided on the anchor plates. A through hole for the two anchor pipes to pass through is also provided on the top sealing plate. The contact surfaces of the anchor pipe and the anchor plates are ground smooth, and the anchor pipe is welded to the anchor plates, ensuring the perpendicularity of the anchor pipe to the anchor plates. Several positioning rods control the distance between the two pressure plates to better control welding and hoisting deformation during subsequent welding of the pressure plates and anchor plates. The pressure plates and anchor plates are welded symmetrically. After welding flaw detection, the top sealing plate is welded to seal the structure. A positioning line for subsequent assembly is reserved on the pressure plates between the two anchor plates, completing the anchor box preparation. By controlling the precision during the anchor box preparation process, the verticality of the lifting rod area can be better controlled.

[0030] S12: The anchor box and the side beam are welded in sections, such as... Figure 9As shown, the assembled anchor box and the two anchor plates on the side beam segment are assembled according to the anchor box baseline position, and the remaining welds are welded. The side beam segment is trimmed and cut at the non-reference head end according to the reference head.

[0031] S13: Drilling. Drill holes in the template with the horizontal baseline as the reference to complete the fabrication of the side beam segments.

[0032] The manufacturing process of the side main beam in this invention involves first redesigning the length dimensions of each side beam segment of the side main beam, and correspondingly adjusting the positions of the side beam segment partitions and anchor boxes. Then, the bottom plate unit, partition unit, web plate unit, top plate unit, and anchor boxes are assembled and welded in sequence. By coordinating multiple reference lines at different positions, a high-precision side main beam that meets the requirements of active tensioning technology can be manufactured.

[0033] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present invention. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention without departing from the scope of the present invention shall still fall within the scope of the present invention.
