Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for controlling the alignment of steel beams during assembly and jacking construction. Background Technology
[0002] Steel beams have become increasingly widely used in bridge construction due to their advantages such as lightweight structure, fast construction progress, and low operation and maintenance costs. As a result, the issue of construction alignment control has also received increasing attention. Typically, the stress-free control method is used to calculate the manufacturing alignment of the main beam, and then the relative geometric relationship between beam segments is deduced from the manufacturing alignment of the main beam. During beam segment installation, elevation control is used as the primary method, supplemented by horizontal and vertical alignment control, to ensure that the internal forces and alignment of the final bridge state meet the requirements.
[0003] As can be seen from the above, the key to traditional steel beam alignment control methods lies in gradually correcting the alignment of assembled segments and stress-free configuration errors during the assembly process to achieve alignment control during the piecemeal construction of steel beams. However, traditional alignment control methods based on geometric methods become cumbersome in calculation steps and generate complex calculation data when faced with complex horizontal and vertical curves in the design and a large number of blocks in the piecemeal assembly stage of steel beams, resulting in a significant reduction in applicability.
[0004] Therefore, a method for controlling the alignment of steel beams during jacking and assembling is provided. Summary of the Invention
