Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of building construction, in particular to a pier column reinforcement structure. Background Art

[0002] At present, the total number of bridges built in my country has exceeded 1 million. With the rapid development of my country's transportation industry, the transportation volume has increased significantly, the vehicle load has increased day by day, and the requirements for the bearing capacity of bridge piers have become higher and higher; at the same time, many built bridge piers have suffered various types of damage under the long-term natural environment and external loads, such as surface concrete peeling, exposed steel corrosion, stress loss, cracks, etc., which make the bridge piers insufficient in bearing capacity and reduce the usability and durability of the bridge. Therefore, it is particularly important to timely maintain and reinforce and expand the damaged bridge piers to improve their bearing capacity and ensure the normal use and safety performance of the bridge.

[0003] The existing bridge pier reinforcement methods mainly use the steel plate bonding method or the cross-section enlargement reinforcement method to maintain and strengthen damaged bridge piers. By bonding the steel plate to the outer structural surface of the damaged pier, it only bears axial force, increasing the axial resistance of the original pier and improving its compression and bending capacity; or by planting steel bars, installing steel bars, and pouring concrete, the cross-section of the pier is enlarged to improve its bearing capacity. The reinforcement effect of the steel plate bonding method depends largely on the bonding process, operation level and the performance of the bonding material. At the same time, its connection is easily corroded by aging under various harsh conditions, causing the steel plate to fall off. The cross-section enlargement reinforcement method is a reinforcement method that is enlarged on the original pier, so its resistance and integrity are far from being comparable to the cast-in-place piers with the same cross-section, and its reinforcement effect is not ideal. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the above-mentioned prior art and provide a pier reinforcement structure that can actively improve the axial constraint of the original pier, significantly improve its bearing capacity, and passively improve its constraint force and improve its bending resistance.

[0005] The utility model is realized by the following technical solutions:

[0006] A pier reinforcement structure comprises tensioned steel strips, prestressed tendons, a steel bar grid, micro-expansive concrete and a steel casing, wherein the tensioned steel strips comprise steel strips and a plurality of steel pads arranged on the steel strips, wherein the plurality of tensioned steel strips are mutually parallel and wrapped around the outer surface of the pier to be reinforced, and the bottom surface of the steel strips is in close contact with the outer surface of the pier to be reinforced, and the top of the steel pad is concave in shape, the prestressed tendons are wrapped around and tensioned on the tensioned steel strips, and are positioned by the concave surface of the top of the tensioned steel strips, each tensioned steel strip corresponds to a prestressed tendon, the steel bar grid is arranged on the periphery of the prestressed tendons, and surrounds the prestressed tendons, the tensioned steel plate and the pier to be reinforced, the steel casing is arranged on the periphery of the steel bar grid, and the micro-expansive concrete is filled between the steel casing and the pier to be reinforced.

[0007] A further optimized technical solution is that the steel strips are bent into semicircles, two semicircular steel strips are pasted and wrapped around the outer surface of the pier to be reinforced, and after the prestressed tendons are tensioned, the two ends of the two steel strips are anchored or welded to each other by bolts.

[0008] A further optimized technical solution is that the joints of several parallel-arranged tensioned steel strips are staggered in the vertical direction.

[0009] A further optimized technical solution is that it also includes a tensioning pedestal for prestressing the prestressed tendons, and the tensioning pedestal is fixed to the pier to be reinforced by anchor bolts passing through the tensioning steel strips.

[0010] A further optimized technical solution is that the tensioning pedestal is a concrete pedestal with a sleeve reserved in it for passing the prestressed tendons. Both ends of the prestressed tendons pass through the sleeves respectively and are tensioned and then fixed by an anchoring structure.

[0011] A further optimized technical solution is that the tensioning pedestal is a steel box with reinforcing ribs arranged inside the steel box and through holes arranged on the sides of the steel box, and both ends of the prestressed tendons pass through the through holes respectively and are tensioned and then anchored by grouting.

[0012] A further optimized technical solution is that the height of the steel pad is greater than 25 mm.

[0013] A further optimized technical solution is that the steel pad is welded or integrated with the steel strip.

[0014] A further optimized technical solution is that a plurality of the tensioned steel strips are arranged around the outer surface of the pier to be reinforced at intervals.

[0015] A further optimized technical solution is that the steel casing is connected to the steel grid through tie bars.

[0016] The utility model adopts prestressed tensioning combined with steel casing and concrete to form a composite force-bearing structure, and provides axial constraints by combining active and passive methods, which greatly improves the bearing capacity and bending resistance of the original bridge piers, and achieves the effect of repairing damaged piers and reinforcing and upgrading them; prefabricated tensioned steel strips are used to diffuse the tightening force of the prestressed tendons through the steel plates on them, so that they act evenly on the original piers, avoiding the prestressed tendons directly acting on the piers to cause secondary damage. At the same time, the lifting of the prestressed tendons by the steel pads is beneficial to the wrapping of the prestressed tendons and the subsequent concrete, forming a pre-tensioned reinforced concrete structure to provide stronger constraints; steel strips, steel The pads and interval arrangement are equivalent to forming a tooth joint structure on the surface of the original pier, which is beneficial to the combination of the newly poured concrete and the original pier. At the same time, the steel strips can also be used as the welding base surface for the steel bars of the steel grid structure. After the prefabricated tensioned steel strips are investigated for the size of the piers in a specific large area, they can be prefabricated in batches after the size is determined, which can save costs. The prestressed tensioning form is used to actively increase the axial constraint on the original pier, which can greatly reduce the amount of steel bars and the amount of cross-sectional expansion, is environmentally friendly and economical, and has high space utilization. The use of steel casing concrete to fully enclose the prestressed tendons and related tensioning components is beneficial to protect the internal steel components and avoid rust.

The steel casing 6 can be connected to the steel mesh 4 through tie bars.

[0027] The tensioning steel strips 212 can be prefabricated uniformly by the factory. The steel pads 22 and steel strips 21 can be made by welding or integrated molding. The steel plates are bent according to the existing bridge pier size and curved surface form. For the convenience of production, as one of the implementation methods, the steel strips 21 are bent into a semicircle, and two semicircular steel strips 21 are pasted and wrapped around the outer surface of the pier 1 to be reinforced, and after the prestressed tendons 3 are tensioned, the two ends of the two steel strips 21 are fixedly connected to each other. The height of the steel pads 22 is greater than 25mm, which can ensure that the concrete effectively wraps the prestressed tendons 3. At the same time, the top surface of the steel pads 22 is provided with a concave surface 23 to constrain the prestressed tendons 3 and avoid the prestressed tendons 3 from slipping during the tensioning process. The size and form of the pads and the concave surface 23 can be determined according to the type, quantity, size and form of the prestressed tendons 3.

[0028] The two ends of the tensioning steel strip 212 are connected to each other by bolt anchoring or welding. For example, grooves are set on the two ends of the steel strip 21 in advance, and the grooves are used as the base surface for butt welding later. The tensioning steel strip 212 can be customized uniformly after fixing the size according to the established pier size and prestressed tensioning related components, or it can be manufactured in batches for the reinforcement of regional piers.

[0029] As one embodiment, the joints of the plurality of parallel tensioned steel strips 212 are staggered in the vertical direction. The plurality of tensioned steel strips 212 can surround the outer surface of the pier 1 to be reinforced in an intermittent or fully distributed manner.

[0030] In order to realize the anchoring of the prestressed tendons 3 , the utility model further comprises a tensioning pedestal 7 for prestressing the prestressed tendons 3 , and the tensioning pedestal 7 is fixed to the pier 1 to be reinforced by anchor bolts 8 passing through the tensioning steel strips 212 .

[0031] As one embodiment, the tensioning pedestal 7 is a concrete pedestal, and a sleeve is reserved in the concrete pedestal for passing the prestressed tendons 3. The two ends of the prestressed tendons 3 pass through the sleeves and are tensioned and then fixed by the anchoring structure 9. The anchoring structure 9 can be an existing structure. Figure 7 , Figure 8 As shown, it includes an anchor plate 91, an anchor 92, a spiral reinforcement 93 and a clip 94. The spiral reinforcement 93 is pre-buried in the concrete pedestal, and the anchor plate 91 is also preset on the concrete pedestal. The anchor 92 is connected to the anchor plate 91.

[0033] After technical assessment of the original pier 1 to be reinforced, the strip tensioned steel plate structure set on the surface of the pier was tensioned and tightened to apply axial force, and the external casing reinforced concrete structure was used for restraint to form a three-way compressive composite stress state. The empirical formula for its longitudinal compressive strength is:

[0034] f cc =f c +kf1,

[0035] In the formula, f cc is the axial compressive strength under three-way compression; f c is the axial compressive strength of concrete; f1 is the lateral pressure (restraint force); k is the lateral pressure coefficient, 4.5-7, with an average value of 5.6.

[0039] 3. Paste the steel plate. Paste the tensioned steel plate strip 212 on the surface of the pier column. It can be pasted in intervals or all over. After pasting and fixing, connect the seams on one side. The seams of the upper and lower steel plates should be staggered.

[0040] 4. Arrange the prestressed tendons 3. Arrange the prestressed tendons 3 at the lower concave surface 23 at the top of the steel pad 22, and perform preliminary tightening in combination with the anchor 92, the clamp and the tensioning pedestal 7 to prevent them from slipping.

[0041] 5. Prestressing. Prestressing is performed according to the technical evaluation results and design requirements. After the prestressing is completed, the other side of the prestressing steel strip 212 is connected. If the prestressing steel strip 212 is connected by welding, the prestressed tendons 3 need to be protected.

[0042] 6. Install the steel grid 4. The grid structure steel bars can be welded to the steel plate before arranging the prestressed bars 3, and the indirect posting steel plate structure can use embedded bars.
