Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of bridge building structures, in particular to a seismic isolation support for a beam bridge which can be conveniently replaced in an extremely restricted space after an earthquake. Background Art
[0002] The bridge bearing is an important structural component connecting the upper and lower structures of the bridge. It is located between the bridge and the pad stone. It can reliably transfer the load and deformation, including displacement and rotation, borne by the upper structure of the bridge to the lower structure of the bridge. It is an important force transmission device of the bridge. The functions of the bridge bearing are mainly in three aspects: the first is to reliably transfer the dead load and live load of the upper structure to the pier, and at the same time bear the horizontal displacement, rotation and other deformations of the structure end caused by the load; the second is to adapt to the expansion and contraction deformation of the structure caused by environmental changes such as temperature and humidity; the third is to resist the structural translation caused by wind force, seismic waves, etc., and reduce the adverse effects of vibration on the structure.
[0003] Medium and small span beam bridges generally use low-cost plate rubber bearings, which are generally placed directly between the pier pad stone and the embedded steel plate at the bottom of the beam without any other connection treatment. Among the many types of earthquake damage, plate rubber bearings are extremely common, with an earthquake damage rate of 16.6%. The main reasons are that the bearing design does not fully consider the requirements of earthquake resistance, the structural connection and support measures are insufficient, and some bearing forms and materials are defective. The main forms of damage are the pull-out and shearing of the bearing anchor bolts, the fall-off of the movable bearing, and the structural damage of the bearing itself.
[0004] Rapid replacement of bearings after an earthquake and rapid restoration of traffic are of great significance to ensure the rapid implementation of emergency rescue work and the normal operation of highways, and to reduce earthquake hazards. The height of ordinary plate bearings for existing conventional beam bridges, especially for T-beams, I-beams, and rectangular cross-section beams, is about 5 cm. In the existing technology, the replacement of bridge bearings requires bolt drilling and rebar planting at the bottom of the beam and the bearing pad stone, which is limited in space and difficult to construct. Conventional rebar planting at the bottom of the beam requires the entire beam to be lifted by more than 50 cm, which has a high risk of lifting and is difficult to drill holes for rebar planting, making it difficult to replace bridge bearings.

[0030] A method for replacing seismic isolation bearings of a beam bridge in an extremely confined space after an earthquake; after an earthquake, the bridge is inspected, and if a bearing is found to be significantly damaged or deformed, the damaged bearing is marked and replaced, specifically comprising the following steps:
[0031] S1: Drilling
[0032] According to the bolt holes required on the bearing pad stone 5 after the seismic isolation bearing is installed, on-site layout is carried out and holes are drilled at the corresponding locations.
[0033] The bolt holes required on the beam body 4 after the seismic isolation bearing is installed are laid out on site, and holes are drilled at the corresponding locations.
[0034] S2: Beam lifting
[0035] Use a jack to lift the beam body 4 as a whole by 20 cm; the lifting height is sufficient to replace the support height, and the small lifting height means small construction risk.
[0036] S3: Remove the original damaged bearing A and replace the seismic isolation bearing
[0037] After removing the original damaged bearing A, place the seismic isolation bearing on the bearing pad stone 5.
[0038] S4: Remove the jack and place the beam body 4 on the upper connecting steel plate 3.
[0039] S5: Implant bolt
[0040] Bolts are implanted on the lower connecting steel plate to fix the lower connecting steel plate 1 to the support pad stone 5; there are multiple bolt holes reserved on the horizontal plate of the L-shaped side plate and the upper connecting steel plate 3, and the horizontal plate of the L-shaped side plate and the upper connecting steel plate 3 are pre-tightened by bolts. At this time, the bolts between the horizontal plate of the L-shaped side plate and the upper connecting steel plate 3 are not completely tightened; there are multiple bolt holes reserved on the vertical plate of the L-shaped side plate, and holes are drilled at the positions corresponding to the reserved bolt holes of the vertical plate of the L-shaped side plate on the side of the beam body, and the vertical plate of the L-shaped side plate is fixed to the beam body 4 by bolts; the bolts between the horizontal plate of the L-shaped side plate and the upper connecting steel plate are tightened to firmly fix the L-shaped side plate and the upper connecting steel plate.
[0041] S6: Anti-corrosion coating of steel plates on seismic isolation bearings.
[0042] Anti-corrosion coatings, such as fluorocarbon topcoat, epoxy zinc-rich primer, inorganic anti-corrosion coatings, etc., may be applied to the lower connecting steel plate, the upper connecting steel plate and the L-shaped side plate.
[0043] In the present utility model, the design principle of the seismic isolation bearing is to first determine the type and model of the seismic isolation bearing to be used based on calculations, and then determine the size and specific arrangement of the steel plate and stiffening plate, the bolt model and spacing based on the maximum horizontal force that the bearing can withstand under earthquake action.
[0044] After the specific size and layout of the seismic isolation bearing are determined, the model and height of the lifting jack are determined according to the vertical force and size of the bearing, and holes are drilled at the corresponding bolt positions on the top and side of the pier cap beam to facilitate the subsequent bolt assembly.
[0045] When replacing the bearing, lift the beam top by about 20cm, take out the original plate-type rubber bearing, and replace it with the utility model's seismic isolation bearing. At the same time, it is necessary to drill holes corresponding to the reserved bolt holes in the lower connecting steel plate on the top of the pier cap beam, and drill holes corresponding to the reserved bolt holes on the vertical plate of the L-shaped side plate on the side of the beam. Multiple corresponding bolt holes can be pre-set on the horizontal plate of the L-shaped side plate and the upper connecting steel plate. The positions of all bolt holes must be accurately laid out, and the error must be controlled within 2mm to prevent the seismic isolation bearing from causing installation difficulties due to excessive errors.
[0046] After the bearing is replaced, remove the jack device and insert the lower connecting steel plate bolts one by one in the reserved bolt holes. The bolts on the lower connecting steel plate ensure that the seismic isolation bearing is tightly connected to the bearing pad stone. Insert the side bolts of the beam body and tighten them to ensure that the beam body is tightly connected to the L-shaped side plate steel plate. Use bolts to connect the vertical plate of the L-shaped side plate to the beam body, and use bolts to connect the horizontal plate of the L-shaped side plate to the upper connecting steel plate to ensure that the bearing is tightly connected to the beam body, effectively transmitting the horizontal force generated by the beam body under the action of the earthquake to the bearing.
[0047] As another embodiment of the present invention, bolt reserved holes can be drilled on the support pedestal 5 and the beam 4 according to the size of the lower connecting steel plate 1 and the reserved positions of the bolt holes on the upper connecting steel plate 3, the size of the L-shaped side plate and the positions of the reserved bolt holes on the L-shaped side plate, and the size of the beam body, and then the beam body is lifted, the seismic isolation support is replaced, the lower connecting steel plate and the side bolts of the beam body are implanted, the lower connecting steel plate and the support pedestal are bolted, the vertical plate of the beam body and the L-shaped side plate are bolted, and the horizontal plate of the L-shaped side plate and the upper connecting steel plate are bolted. After all the damaged supports are installed and replaced, the road is restored to normal.
[0048] by Figure 6The reliability analysis of the bearing connection of the specific embodiment of the utility model is carried out. The maximum horizontal force Fmax of the bearing is 549KN after earthquake resistance calculation, and the strength and stiffness of the connection are simulated and analyzed. The analysis uses the finite element software ANSYS Workbench, ignoring the friction between the beam and the steel plate, the anchor hole is consolidated with the beam, the pre-tightening force of the connecting bolt is 225KN, the connecting bolt uses M24 bolts, and the friction coefficient between the steel plates is 0.15; Figure 6 The unit of each dimension is millimeter.
[0049] (1) Longitudinal bridge direction
[0050] A force of 549KN is applied to the seismic isolation bearing, and the force acts on the connecting steel plate on the seismic isolation bearing in the longitudinal direction of the bridge.
[0051] (2) Transverse bridge toward the bolt side
[0052] A force of 549 kN is applied to the seismic isolation bearing, and the force acts on the connecting steel plate on the seismic isolation bearing in the direction along the transverse direction of the bridge toward the bolt side.
[0053] (3) The cross bridge faces the welding side
[0054] A force of 549KN is applied to the seismic isolation bearing, and the force acts on the connecting steel plate on the seismic isolation bearing in the direction along the transverse direction of the bridge toward the welding side.
[0055] Under different working conditions, the maximum equivalent effect of the seismic isolation bearing is less than the yield strength of material Q345B, 345MPa. Only the bolt connection has partial stress concentration due to the preload, and the stress in other parts is mostly below 100Mpa. The maximum deformation under each working condition is less than 1mm, so the reliability of the seismic isolation bearing connection meets the requirements.
[0056] During design, the size of the steel plate stiffener and the type of bolts can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the project, so that it will not be damaged under a specific horizontal load and the reliability of the connection meets the requirements.
