Description
A novel prefabricated support structure for bridge construction and its construction method Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of support frame reinforcement, and specifically relates to a novel prefabricated support for bridge construction and its construction method. Background Technology
[0002] Bridge supports are important facilities in the bridge construction process. They not only provide support for the concrete structure, but also provide an operating platform for on-site workers to meet the requirements for material transportation and stacking during construction.
[0003] Currently, the main types of supports used in bridge construction include disc-lock supports, cup-lock supports, and pier-type supports. Disc-lock or cup-lock supports use multi-point assembly of the uprights, which makes the construction process more complicated and requires a higher level of skill from the workers. The supports also have strict requirements on the overall foundation, making them prone to overall collapse and safety issues.
[0004] To this end, CN116657500A discloses a monitorable assembly support for supporting bridges. The frame is an assembly structure to meet the need for height adjustment. The top of the frame is supported by a second jack 5.1 and a second support seat 5.2 fixed on the screw of the second jack 5.1.
[0005] However, since the bottom plate of the beam often has an inclined angle and the bottom plate of the beam of the same bridge often has multiple shapes with different inclination angles in the cross-sectional direction, the current support method cannot ensure that the top support structure of the frame is tightly integrated with the bottom formwork of the beam, resulting in uneven support stress and affecting the pouring quality of the bridge. In addition, the current frame assembly method is difficult to prepare and has low assembly efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0006] This invention provides a novel prefabricated support structure and its construction method for bridge construction, which solves the technical problems of uneven support stress affecting the bridge pouring quality, as the bottom plate of the beam often has an inclined angle and the bottom plate of the beam of the same bridge often has multiple inclination angles in the cross-sectional direction. Furthermore, the current support method is difficult to prepare and has low assembly efficiency.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A novel prefabricated support construction method for bridge construction, comprising the following steps: Step 1: Detailing the drawings. The support structure includes prefabricated columns, prefabricated crossbeams, prefabricated longitudinal beams, prefabricated top beams, prefabricated risers, back-cut slots, and support plates. The prefabricated columns are grouped in fours. The prefabricated crossbeams and longitudinal beams are connected between the prefabricated columns to form a frame structure. The prefabricated top beams are fixedly installed at the top of the rows of prefabricated columns. The prefabricated top beams are horizontally arranged and parallel to the cross-section of the bridge. The prefabricated risers are vertically installed at the top of the prefabricated top beams. Back-cut slots are opened on the prefabricated risers, parallel to the cross-section of the bridge. Support plates are welded into the back-cut slots, and the top of the support plates rests against the bridge base plate. Step 2: Construction preparation and surveying. Based on the design drawings of the steel bridge and the actual site conditions, the support structure is prepared and surveyed. Step 1: Calculate the stress on the support frame to determine the overall layout, height, span, and specifications and quantity combination scheme of the standard units and standard section beams. Inventory and transport all standard components to the site. Step 2: Assemble the main structural system. Install prefabricated columns under the bridge base slab according to the layout positioning, and then connect and reinforce the prefabricated columns through prefabricated crossbeams and prefabricated longitudinal beams. Step 3: Install the top support system. Install prefabricated risers at intervals on the prefabricated top beams. Place the support plates against the bottom of the bridge base slab. Then, mark the positions of the support plates on the prefabricated risers. Cut back slots parallel to the cross-section of the bridge on the prefabricated risers. Then, install the prefabricated top beams on top of the prefabricated columns. Step 4: Install the support plates. Place the support plates in the back slots and place the support plates against the bottom of the bridge base slab. Then, weld the support plates to the prefabricated risers to complete the support.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the supporting upright plate is further provided with a supporting top plate, the supporting upright plate and the supporting top plate form a T-shape, and the thickness of the supporting upright plate is 16-30mm.
[0009] Preferably, the prefabricated column is an I-beam, including a web and two flanges on both sides, with bolt holes spaced apart on the flanges. The prefabricated crossbeam and prefabricated longitudinal beam are both channel steel. The prefabricated crossbeam is attached to the side of the flange and connected to the prefabricated column by bolts.

[0010] Preferably, the prefabricated top beam and the prefabricated column have the same structure, and the two ends of the prefabricated column are welded with end plates and connected to the prefabricated top beam by bolts.
[0011] Preferably, the prefabricated column is composed of multiple segments spliced together and connected by end plates and bolts.
[0012] Preferably, the bottom end of the prefabricated column is set on a concrete base, and an embedded steel plate with a size larger than that of the prefabricated column is set on the concrete base. An L-shaped pressure plate is also set, with the horizontal edge of the L-shaped pressure plate pressing on the end plate at the bottom end of the prefabricated column, and the vertical edge of the L-shaped pressure plate being welded downward from the outside of the end plate at the bottom end of the prefabricated column to the embedded steel plate.
[0013] Preferably, the two ends of the prefabricated top beam extend beyond the prefabricated columns, and prefabricated diagonal braces are provided between the prefabricated columns and the prefabricated top beam. The prefabricated diagonal braces are made of channel steel, and flange plates are provided at both ends of the prefabricated diagonal braces and are connected to the prefabricated columns and the prefabricated top beam respectively by bolts.
[0014] Preferably, stiffening ribs are provided at intervals between the two wing plates of the prefabricated column.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: 1. This application provides a novel on-site adjustment, fixing, and reinforcement structure and method. The prefabricated risers and supporting plates at the top of the frame are installed on-site. Lines are drawn on the prefabricated risers in real time according to the inclination angle of the bridge base plate, thereby accurately positioning the position and angle of the supporting plates. This allows the entire support frame to provide precise and stable support to the bridge base plate, improving the construction quality of the bridge, saving materials, facilitating quick and easy installation and dismantling, and ensuring reliable connections. While effectively improving the versatility and reusability of the support system, it also promotes the standardized design, manufacturing, construction, and dissemination of support measures, resulting in significant economic benefits. 2. This application provides a novel prefabricated frame that can be constructed using standard section columns (0.1m, 0.15m, ...). The frame offers 30 lengths (0.95m, 1.0m, 2.0m, ..., 11.0m, 12.0m), allowing for the assembly of standard units of any height / length with an accuracy of 0.05m through various combinations (preferably using whole sections and longer column combinations; for example, for a structural height of 13.7m, the preferred combination is 12+1+0.7=13.7m). Furthermore, its assembly connection with the prefabricated top beam allows for arbitrary adjustment of longitudinal length, achieving full assembly of the steel bridge deck beam construction support frame. It utilizes readily available I-beams, requiring only drilling and stiffening ribs for fabrication, resulting in convenient manufacturing and high strength. The ingenious connection between the prefabricated crossbeams and longitudinal beams on the prefabricated columns—one side connection and one front-facing connection—achieves quick and convenient assembly and installation.

The vertical edge of the L-shaped pressure plate is welded downward from the outside of the end plate at the bottom of the prefabricated column to the pre-embedded steel plate, which firmly fixes the prefabricated column and has very high stability.
