Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge construction technology, and in particular relates to a stable structure and construction method for the connection node between the first steel truss girder segment and the girder erection support. Background Technology

[0002] Steel trusses, due to their lightweight and high strength, are widely used in long-span bridges. The girder erection crane method, with its high precision and speed, has become the preferred construction method for long-span steel truss bridges. The assembly of steel trusses often relies on girder erection supports and cranes. First, the first steel truss segment is hoisted onto the support frame with pre-placed pads, and then the girder erection crane is hoisted onto that segment. The crane then performs a series of repetitive tasks on the first segment, including lateral girder removal, forward girder erection, and forward movement, sequentially lifting and installing the remaining segments until the entire bridge is closed. When the crane operates on the first segment, it not only bears pressure but also experiences torsion due to the crane's rotation, both on itself and at the connection points with the support frame below, potentially leading to structural instability and misalignment. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides the following technical solution: The stable structure of the connection node between the first steel truss girder segment and the girder support is provided. Each connection node is symmetrically equipped with two sets of rigid frames made of channel steel. The rigid frames span the outer side of the lower chord of the first steel truss girder segment, the support pad, and the main beam of the girder support. The three are locked into a whole by bolts.

[0004] Furthermore, the first steel truss girder segment is fixedly supported by the girder crane.

[0005] Furthermore, the frame structure includes an upper horizontal bar, two vertical bars, and a lower horizontal bar; the upper horizontal bar presses against the upper surface of the lower chord, the upper ends of the two vertical bars are respectively connected to the two ends of the upper horizontal bar, the lower horizontal bar presses against the lower surface of the main beam of the beam support, and the two ends of the lower horizontal bar are respectively connected to the vertical bars on the corresponding sides by bolts.

[0006] Furthermore, a connecting plate extending horizontally toward another vertical bar is welded and fixed to the lower part of each vertical bar, and the lower horizontal bar is connected to the connecting plate by bolts.

[0007] Furthermore, the upper horizontal bar and vertical bar are made of 40# channel steel.

[0008] Furthermore, the lower crossbar is made of 20# channel steel.

[0009] Furthermore, the frame structure adopts a symmetrical split design, which is divided into two independent sub-frames, left and right, along the longitudinal centerline of the steel truss beam. The sub-frames are connected by butt flange plates and bolts.

[0010] Furthermore, rubber pads are also sandwiched between the main beam of the beam-erecting support and the connecting plate.

[0011] The present invention also provides a construction method for a stable structure of the connection node between the first steel truss girder segment and the girder support, comprising the following steps: S1. Hoisting the first steel truss girder segment onto the girder support; S2. Pre-installing the upper horizontal member of the frame structure onto the lower chord, with the two vertical members spanning and extending downwards across the two sides of the lower chord, and the connecting plates respectively abutting against the lower surface of the main beam supporting the girder support; S3. Adjusting the position of the lower horizontal member and tightening the connecting bolts at both ends to the connecting plates; S4. Tightening the connecting bolts between the upper horizontal member and the vertical members.

[0012] Furthermore, in S2, rubber pads are placed on the lower surface of the connecting plate and the main beam of the beam support.

[0013] This invention uses channel steel to form a frame structure, fixing the lower chord of the steel truss below the support point of the girder erecting crane, the support pads, and the main beam of the girder erecting support, effectively improving the stability of such nodes. The channel steel is connected by bolts, making the device easy to install and dismantle, saving steel, and allowing for recycling. It effectively prevents the lower part of the steel truss from shifting during the girder erecting crane's rotation on top of the steel truss and during hoisting operations, improving the stability of the connection node between the temporary girder erecting support and the steel truss. The device uses simple materials, is lightweight, and does not significantly affect the assembly alignment of the steel truss. It has significant promotional value and provides a valuable reference for projects using girder erecting cranes to assemble large-span steel trusses. Attached Figure Description
