Technical Field

[0002] During the cantilever assembly of bridges, the segment elevation changes continuously over time due to environmental factors such as temperature variations and wind loads. As a result, the segment elevation cannot be adjusted according to theoretical values ​​during the lifting and matching process of the crane, and needs to be corrected based on on-site measurement results. However, on-site measurement results are usually not timely and it is difficult to correct the assembly elevation in real time, making it difficult to guarantee the accuracy of matching.

[0003] Existing cantilever assembly construction methods typically wait for a relatively stable "window period" for construction, or densely deploy sensors on the beam segment to perform elevation corrections during fine-tuning based on real-time temperature data, and apply temporary constraints to fix the cantilever end attitude during assembly. These methods have poor construction economy, limited freedom in choosing the construction period, and difficulty in guaranteeing the construction period. Summary of the Invention

[0019] In step S4, the predetermined measurement frequency is 1 Hz.

[0020] In step S5, the error meeting the predetermined requirement means that the error of the elevation adjustment value is less than 2mm and greater than 0.

[0021] In one specific embodiment, the implementation process is carried out in the following steps in sequence: I. Control Parameter Input In the control system interface, based on the bridge design drawings and actual on-site measurements, the following key parameters are entered: Fine-tuning control point parameters are determined and entered, including the positions of the bridge deck crane lifting jacks. , distance measuring point Steel beam elevation positioning measuring points And record the vertical and horizontal distances between these points; Distance parameters The distance between the beam segment joint and the bridge deck crane lifting jack.
