Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically to an optimized method and system for pre-deflection construction of saddle and tower combination for long-span suspension bridges. Background Technology
[0002] In the construction of long-span suspension bridges, the erection of the main cable is one of the key steps. Because the ends of the main cable strands are anchored stationary, and slippage between the strands and the saddle grooves is not permitted, the main cable will cause the saddle to shift towards the mid-span as tension increases. For suspension bridges with a large side-to-mid-span ratio, if conventional construction methods are used, the pre-deflection of the saddle will be very large. This not only increases the tower top dimensions and design complexity but also affects the overall structural performance of the bridge. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings in the existing technology, this invention provides an optimized method and system for pre-deflection construction of the combination of saddles and towers for long-span suspension bridges.
[0004] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention is as follows:
[0005] An optimized construction method for pre-deflection of the saddle and tower combination of long-span suspension bridges, characterized by the following steps:
[0006] S1. Based on the design parameters and construction conditions of long-span suspension bridges, establish a pre-deflection model of the combination of saddle and tower for long-span suspension bridges.
[0007] S2. Based on the pre-deflection model of the saddle and tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge, determine the pre-deflection amount of the saddle and the tower under different pre-deflection schemes.
[0008] S3. Based on the saddle pre-deflection and bridge tower pre-deflection under different pre-deflection schemes, determine the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the bridge tower stress during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes.
[0009] S4. Based on the main cable anti-slip safety factor requirements, bridge tower stress limitations, and the anti-slip safety factor and bridge tower stress of the main cable in the saddle slot during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes, determine the optimized pre-deflection construction scheme for the combination of saddle and bridge tower for long-span suspension bridges.
[0010] Furthermore, in step S1, the design parameters of the long-span suspension bridge include the main span length, the side-to-mid span ratio, the number of main cable strands, and the tower height.
[0011] Further, step S1 includes the following steps:
[0012] S11. Based on the design parameters of long-span suspension bridges, establish a finite element model of the long-span suspension bridge;
[0013] S12. Based on the construction condition data of the long-span suspension bridge, the weight of the main cable strands and the construction load are applied to the finite element model of the long-span suspension bridge to establish a pre-deflection model of the combination of the saddle and the bridge tower of the long-span suspension bridge.
[0014] Further, in step S2, based on the pre-deflection model of the saddle and tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge, the saddle pre-deflection amount and tower pre-deflection amount under different pre-deflection schemes are determined. Specifically, based on the pre-deflection model of the saddle and tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge, the required saddle pre-deflection amount is calculated using the number of main cable strands and the side-to-middle span ratio. An adjustment value is set, and the saddle pre-deflection amount is gradually reduced using the set adjustment value. The tower pre-deflection amount is also gradually increased using the set adjustment value to obtain the tower pre-deflection amount under the corresponding pre-deflection scheme, so as to determine the saddle pre-deflection amount and tower pre-deflection amount under different pre-deflection schemes.
[0015] Furthermore, step S3 includes the following steps:
[0016] S31. Determine the initial state parameters, including the number of main cable strands and the initial positions of the saddle and bridge tower;
[0017] S32. Based on the saddle pre-deflection amount and bridge tower pre-deflection amount under different pre-deflection schemes, carry out saddle pre-deflection construction and bridge tower pre-deflection construction for the main cable erection with initial state parameters.
[0018] S33. Install the main cable strands one by one, and monitor the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the bridge tower stress during the installation process, so as to determine the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the bridge tower stress during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes.
[0019] Further, in step S32, based on the saddle pre-biasing amount and bridge tower pre-biasing amount under different pre-biasing schemes, saddle pre-biasing construction and bridge tower pre-biasing construction are carried out on the main cable frame with initial state parameters. The specific process is as follows: based on the saddle pre-biasing amount and bridge tower pre-biasing amount under different pre-biasing schemes, the saddle pre-biasing construction is carried out on the main cable frame with initial state parameters by adjusting the connection device between the saddle and the bridge tower. The saddle and bridge tower after the saddle pre-biasing construction are fixedly connected by high-strength bolt method or welding method, and the bridge tower pre-biasing is carried out on the fixedly connected saddle and bridge tower by cable tensioning method.
[0020] A construction optimization system for pre-deflection of a long-span suspension bridge saddle and tower combination using the above method includes a pre-deflection model construction module, a combined pre-deflection calculation module, a combined pre-deflection construction simulation module, and a combined pre-deflection optimization module.
[0021] The pre-bias model building module is used to establish a pre-bias model of the combination of saddle and tower of a long-span suspension bridge based on the design parameters and construction conditions of the long-span suspension bridge.
[0022] The combined pre-deflection calculation module is used to determine the pre-deflection of the saddle and the pre-deflection of the bridge tower under different pre-deflection schemes based on the combined pre-deflection model of the saddle and the bridge tower of a long-span suspension bridge.
[0023] The combined pre-deflection construction simulation module is used to determine the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the bridge tower stress during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes based on the saddle pre-deflection and bridge tower pre-deflection under different pre-deflection schemes.
[0024] The combined pre-deflection optimization module is used to determine the optimal pre-deflection construction scheme for the saddle and tower of a long-span suspension bridge based on the main cable anti-slip safety factor requirements, bridge tower stress limits, and the anti-slip safety factor and bridge tower stress of the main cable in the saddle groove during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes.
[0025] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] (1) This invention establishes a pre-deflection model of the saddle and tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge based on the design parameters and construction conditions of the long-span suspension bridge. Then, based on the pre-deflection model of the saddle and tower combination of the long-span suspension bridge, the pre-deflection amount of the saddle and the pre-deflection amount of the tower under different pre-deflection schemes are determined. Based on the pre-deflection amount of the saddle and the pre-deflection amount of the tower under different pre-deflection schemes, the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the tower stress during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes are determined. Finally, based on the anti-slip safety factor requirement of the main cable, the stress limit of the tower, and the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the tower stress during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes, an optimized construction scheme for the pre-deflection of the saddle and tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge is determined. This can obtain a reasonable combination of saddle and tower pre-deflection, thereby reducing the pre-deflection amount of the saddle during the main cable erection process, reducing the tower top size and design difficulty, and improving construction efficiency and structural safety.

The combined pre-deflection amount calculation module can be used to determine the saddle pre-deflection amount and tower pre-deflection amount under different pre-deflection schemes based on the combined pre-deflection model of a long-span suspension bridge saddle and tower.

[0030] The specific embodiments of the present invention are described below to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the scope of the specific embodiments. For those skilled in the art, various changes are obvious as long as they are within the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined and determined by the appended claims. All inventions utilizing the concept of the present invention are protected.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the optimized construction method for pre-deflection of the saddle and tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge is characterized by the following steps:
[0032] S1. Based on the design parameters and construction conditions of long-span suspension bridges, establish a pre-deflection model of the combination of saddle and tower for long-span suspension bridges.
[0033] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the design parameters of a long-span suspension bridge include the main span length, the side-to-mid span ratio, the number of main cable strands, and the tower height.
[0034] Specifically, the main span is 1208m, with a side-to-mid span ratio of 0.439, significantly higher than that of conventional suspension bridges. The main cable is a parallel wire strand cable, with 127 strands, each containing 127 high-strength zinc-aluminum alloy steel wires with a diameter of 6.0mm. The bridge towers are portal frame steel towers, with a height of 217m.
[0035] Step S1 includes the following steps:
[0036] S11. Based on the design parameters of long-span suspension bridges, establish a finite element model of the long-span suspension bridge.
[0037] S12. Based on the construction condition data of the long-span suspension bridge, the weight of the main cable strands and the construction load are applied to the finite element model of the long-span suspension bridge to establish a pre-deflection model of the combination of the saddle and the bridge tower of the long-span suspension bridge.
[0038] S2. Based on the pre-deflection model of the saddle and tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge, determine the pre-deflection amount of the saddle and the tower under different pre-deflection schemes.
[0039] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the present invention determines the saddle pre-deflection amount and the bridge tower pre-deflection amount under different pre-deflection schemes based on the pre-deflection model of the saddle and bridge tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge. Specifically, based on the pre-deflection model of the saddle and bridge tower combination of a long-span suspension bridge, the required saddle pre-deflection amount is calculated using the number of main cable strands and the side-to-mid span ratio. An adjustment value is set, and the saddle pre-deflection amount is gradually reduced using the set adjustment value. The bridge tower pre-deflection amount is also gradually increased using the set adjustment value to obtain the bridge tower pre-deflection amount under the corresponding pre-deflection scheme, thereby determining the saddle pre-deflection amount and the bridge tower pre-deflection amount under different pre-deflection schemes.
[0040] Specifically, the required saddle pre-offset in this invention is calculated to be 3.85m. Based on the set adjustment values, this invention adjusts the tower top pre-offset to 1.3m and the saddle pre-offset to 2.55m to determine the first pre-offset scheme. Then, based on the pre-offset setting values of the first pre-offset scheme, the cable strand frame design calculation is performed, and a full-process check calculation is conducted for the entire cable strand erection. Based on the set adjustment values, this invention adjusts the tower top pre-offset to 1.2m and the saddle pre-offset to 2.65m to determine the second pre-offset scheme, and again performs a full-process check calculation for the entire cable strand erection. Through multiple analyses, this invention determines several different pre-offset schemes.
[0041] S3. Based on the saddle pre-deflection and bridge tower pre-deflection under different pre-deflection schemes, determine the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the bridge tower stress during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes.
[0042] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step S3 includes the following steps:
[0043] S31. Determine the initial state parameters, including the number of main cable strands and the initial positions of the saddle and bridge tower.
[0044] Specifically, the main cable has 127 strands, and the saddle and bridge tower are initially aligned.
[0045] S32. Based on the saddle pre-biasing amount and bridge tower pre-biasing amount under different pre-biasing schemes, carry out saddle pre-biasing construction and bridge tower pre-biasing construction for the main cable erection with initial state parameters.
[0046] This invention performs saddle pre-biasing construction and bridge tower pre-biasing construction on the main cable frame with initial state parameters according to the saddle pre-biasing amount and bridge tower pre-biasing amount under different pre-biasing schemes. The specific process is as follows: according to the saddle pre-biasing amount and bridge tower pre-biasing amount under different pre-biasing schemes, the saddle pre-biasing construction is carried out on the main cable erection with initial state parameters by adjusting the connection device between the saddle and the bridge tower. The saddle and the bridge tower are fixedly connected after the saddle pre-biasing construction using the high-strength bolt method or the high-strength tie rod method. Finally, the bridge tower pre-biasing is carried out on the fixedly connected saddle and the bridge tower using the cable tensioning method.
[0047] S33. Install the main cable strands one by one, and monitor the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the bridge tower stress during the installation process, so as to determine the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the bridge tower stress during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes.
[0048] S4. Based on the main cable anti-slip safety factor requirements, bridge tower stress limitations, and the anti-slip safety factor and bridge tower stress of the main cable in the saddle slot during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes, determine the optimized pre-deflection construction scheme for the combination of saddle and bridge tower for long-span suspension bridges.
[0049] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, based on the main cable anti-slip safety factor requirement, bridge tower stress limitation, and the anti-slip safety factor of the main cable in the saddle groove and the bridge tower stress during the construction of different pre-deflection schemes, the present invention determines the first pre-deflection scheme (saddle pre-deflection amount of 2.55m and bridge tower pre-deflection amount of 1.3m) as the optimized pre-deflection construction scheme for the combination of saddle and bridge tower for long-span suspension bridges. This scheme can effectively reduce the design difficulty and construction risk of the tower top size while meeting the main cable anti-slip safety factor.
