Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically to a method for constructing a main structural model of a steel box girder for a steel structure bridge with varying cross slope. Background Technology
[0002] With the rapid development of modern bridge construction technology, steel structure bridges and steel-concrete composite structure bridges, with their outstanding advantages such as high strength, light weight, and short construction period, are increasingly widely used in various complex bridge projects. Especially in projects such as urban elevated roads, interchanges, and mountain highways, steel box girders often need to be placed in sections with continuously changing cross slopes to adapt to changes in road alignment and terrain conditions. In such sections, the web height of each box girder cell must be precisely adjusted according to the continuous changes in cross slope, which is crucial to ensuring a smooth bridge deck alignment and reasonable structural stress.
[0003] In traditional design and construction methods, the treatment of such cross slope variations mainly relies on two-dimensional plan drawings combined with partial sectional views, supplemented by a large amount of tedious manual calculations and geometric layout. This method is difficult to comprehensively and intuitively describe the true geometric shape and spatial position of the box girder in three-dimensional space, especially lacking in the description of web height, inclination angle, and spatial positioning of connection nodes between plates.
[0004] Its limitations directly lead to problems such as misunderstandings and accumulated layout errors in multiple stages, including factory material preparation, component processing, and on-site installation. This not only affects the processing accuracy and splicing quality of components, but may also cause installation difficulties, deviations from the design intent in terms of alignment, and even structural safety hazards, ultimately slowing down the overall construction progress and increasing project costs.
[0005] Therefore, in the face of increasingly complex bridge alignment design and high-standard quality control requirements, the industry urgently needs a method that can systematically, accurately and efficiently construct three-dimensional solid models of steel box girders with varying cross slopes. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for constructing a main structural model of a steel box girder for a steel structure bridge with varying cross slopes. This method enables accurate three-dimensional modeling of the steel box girder under conditions of continuous cross slope variation.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: A method for constructing a main structural model of a steel box girder bridge with a changing cross slope, comprising the following steps: S1. Obtain the cross slope ratio at each mileage point at multiple predetermined locations within the cross slope change section, and determine the cross-sectional dimensions of the steel box girder at each mileage point. S2. Divide the cross slope change section into several segments along the length direction and determine the cross slope line at each segment point. S3. Based on the cross slope lines at each segment point determined in step S2 and the parameters involved in the steel box girder, determine the cross-sectional dimensions of the steel box girder at each segment point. S4. Place the cross-sectional dimension diagrams at each segment point determined in step S3 along the corresponding planar layout curve and vertical curve to establish a spatial reference plane. S5. Based on the cross-sectional dimension drawings placed in step S4, generate solid models of the bottom plate, web plate and flange plate of the steel box girder in sequence through three-dimensional lofting. S6. Integrate the various entity models to complete the overall three-dimensional model construction of the box girder of the cross slope change section.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: This invention achieves precise layout and dimensional control of steel box girders with varying cross slopes through a systematic segmented modeling method. It avoids errors caused by manual calculation and approximation in traditional methods, improving the accuracy and effectiveness of modeling. It facilitates designers in refining construction drawings and allows for accurate calculation of steel plate usage for each segment, which is beneficial for material procurement and cost control. Through refined modeling of the cross slope variation segments, it ensures that the bridge structure alignment meets design requirements, improves structural safety, and promotes the standardization and normalization of steel structure bridge modeling technology.
[0009] As a preferred embodiment, a further technical solution of the present invention is: Preferably, the cross-sectional dimensions of the steel box girder in step S1 include the flange width, flange thickness, web height, web thickness, bottom plate thickness, and net height inside the box.
[0010] Preferably, in step S2, the changing segment is linearly divided into equal parts, and the cross slope line is determined by connecting the points of division with the corresponding points of the center lines of the left and right chamber flanges.
[0011] Preferably, the spatial reference plane is determined by the perpendicular point of the segment point on the planar layout curve, the corresponding point on the vertical curve, and the reference point in the cross-sectional dimension drawing. Attached Figure Description
