Description

Technical fields:

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bridge engineering construction technology, specifically relating to a method for jacking construction of a long-span bridge structure spanning existing facilities. Background technology:

[0002] The incremental launching method is a common construction method for long-span bridges crossing obstacles. However, for long-span, wide-deck, steel box girder tied arch bridges with arch ribs, the incremental launching construction across railways faces a series of challenges, including difficulties in placing the guide beam on the pier, difficulties in long-distance synchronous control, and extremely high precision requirements for dropping large-tonnage beams. Conventional incremental launching technology is inadequate in the face of these challenges, resulting in significant safety risks, difficulties in precision control, and significant interference with railway operations. Summary of the Invention:

[0003] The purpose of this invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a safe, precise, and efficient method for the overall jacking construction of a long-span steel box girder arch bridge spanning a railway, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0005] Technical solution of the present invention

[0006] This invention systematically solves the challenges of jacking construction in complex environments through a series of innovative methods, including the guide beam lifting process over the pier, synchronous control and correction based on the walking-type jacking system, and the post-installation of supports and the inverted jacking and lowering process.

[0007] Beneficial effects:

[0008] The guide beam crossing-pier technique ingeniously solves the interference problem caused by guide beam deflection, ensuring a controllable and safe process. An advanced synchronization and correction control system guarantees the stability and alignment of the bridge's long-distance jacking, handling loads of thousands of tons. The post-installation of supports and the inverted jacking and lowering of the beam achieve millimeter-level precision in the placement of large-tonnage bridge structures. This has resulted in a complete safety, quality, and technical control system, yielding significant socio-economic benefits. Attached image description:

[0014] Figure 1 The overall layout of the jacking construction is shown, and the positional relationship of each support and the jacking direction are clearly defined; Figure 2 The four key processes for the guide beam to pass over the pier are explained in detail, and the technical problem of guide beam deflection is solved. Figure 3 The three-dimensional motion mechanism of the walking jacking device was revealed, demonstrating the device's innovation; Figure 4 The illustration shows the precise positioning process of the support after installation and the inverted beam lowering; Figure 5 This demonstrates a synchronous control system architecture based on modern control theory. Detailed implementation method:

[0015] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0016] like Figure 1 As shown, the jacking route crosses the railway station yard (5). The assembly yard is located on the high mileage side, and the jacking direction is as shown by the arrow. The supports include permanent supports (3#, 4#, 5#, 6#) and temporary supports (B, C, D, E), of which supports C and D are located in the railway track area.

[0017] like Figure 2 As shown, the guide beam crossing process includes four steps: a) the guide beam (6) deflects downwards and approaches the front support pier (7); b) all stepping jacks (8) simultaneously lift the main beam (2) to a height H (e.g., 160mm); c) all stepping jacks (8) simultaneously push the main beam forward a distance S (e.g., 1m); d) all stepping jacks (8) simultaneously descend, and the guide beam (6) lands on the support pier (7).

[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, the walking-type jacking device (8) includes an upper sliding seat (9), a jacking support cylinder (10), a longitudinal jacking cylinder (11), a transverse adjustment cylinder (12), and a base (13), and has three-way movement capability.

[0019] like Figure 4 As shown, the inverted beam lowering system includes a beam lowering jack (1), a first pad block group (3a), a permanent support (4), and a second pad block group (3b). By lifting with the jack (1), the first pad block group (3a) is removed or lowered, and the load of the main beam (2) is transferred to the second pad block group (3b). This cycle continues until the main beam is lowered onto the support (4).

[0020] like Figure 5 As shown, the jacking synchronization control system is based on the PLC main control (14), which communicates with each sub-control box (15) through the network. The sub-control box controls the hydraulic pump station (16) to drive the walking jack (8). The displacement and pressure sensors (17) form a feedback closed loop to achieve synchronization and correction.
