[0032] Please see attached Figure 1-4 In one embodiment of the present invention, a widening rib for a bridge flange is provided, which is specifically as follows:

[0033] The widened rib has a T-shaped cross section, and includes a wing plate 10 and a rib plate 20, wherein the wing plate 10 includes a web connection portion 110, an extension portion 120 and a flange widening portion 130, the web connection portion 110 is used to connect with the outer side of the web of the existing main beam 30, the extension portion 120 is connected between the web connection portion 110 and the flange widening portion 130, the flange widening portion 130 is used to connect with the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30, and the flange widening portion 130 extends out of the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30 along its own extension direction; the rib plate 20 is arranged on the inner side of the wing plate 10, and the height of the rib plate 20 is gradually reduced from the web connection portion 110 of the wing plate 10 toward the flange widening portion 130.

[0034] Specifically, the T-shaped section can save the amount of concrete without reducing the bearing capacity of the section, so as to reduce the deadweight and increase the spanning capacity. Usually, the T-shaped section includes a flange 10 and a rib 20. The flange 10 is used to fit with the existing main beam 30, so as to serve as a connecting surface. In the present application, the flange 10 is bent, and specifically includes a web connecting portion 110, an extension portion 120 and a flange widening portion 130. The web connecting portion 110 is used to connect the entire widened rib to the outer side of the web of the existing main beam 30. The flange widening portion 130 is used as the widened section of the bridge flange, serving as the load-bearing part after the bridge is widened, and the extension portion 120 is used to extend the flange widening portion 130 to the widened position (i.e., the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30), so it is connected between the web connection portion 110 and the flange widening portion 130; and the rib plate 20 serves as the main load-bearing part of the entire widened rib to ensure structural stability, and its height becomes smaller as it is closer to the flange widening portion 130 to avoid excessive self-weight of the flange end 310 of the bridge after widening.

[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the web connecting portion 110 of the wing plate 10 is arranged to be inclined downward from the top toward the web of the existing main beam 30 .

[0036] It should be noted that in bridge applications with a larger deck width, a box girder with a large cantilever inclined web is usually used. For the embodiment of a box girder bridge with an inclined web, the present application can also set the web connection portion 110 of the wing plate 10 to a matching inclined structure, that is, the web connection portion 110 of the wing plate 10 is inclined downward from the top toward the web of the existing main beam 30, so that it can fit smoothly during connection, improve the connection stability, and facilitate construction; preferably, the rib 20 located at the web connection portion 110 is also arranged in a matching inclined shape.

[0037] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the extension portion 120 is arranged to be inclined upward from the web connecting portion 110 toward the flange widening portion 130, and the flange widening portion 130 is arranged horizontally.

[0038] It should be noted that, considering that in the bridge application embodiment of the box beam, the height of the flange plate part of the box beam will gradually decrease as it approaches the end, the extension portion 120 is tilted upward toward the flange widening portion 130, so as to avoid the extension portion 120 and the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30 being too large. At the same time, the flange widening portion 130 can be extended to a height range that matches the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30 to facilitate construction and connection; further, in order to facilitate subsequent construction and installation, pouring of concrete structure layers, laying of widened bridge decks, etc., the flange widening portion 130 is arranged horizontally.

[0039] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a prefabricated anchor block 140 is further included. The prefabricated anchor block 140 is protruded on the flange widening portion 130 of the wing plate 10 and is arranged away from the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30 .

[0040] It is worth noting that, when connected with the existing main beam 30, the prefabricated anchor block 140 is used to anchor one end of the prestressed steel bundle to form a connection system of the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30 to enhance the structural integration strength.

[0041] As a preferred embodiment of the utility model, it also includes a pre-installation block 150 and a plurality of shear steel bars 160. The pre-installation block 150 is fixed on the flange widening portion 130 of the wing plate 10 and is arranged between the prefabricated anchor block 140 and the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30. The bottom of the shear steel bar 160 is pre-embedded in the pre-installation block 150, and the plurality of shear steel bars 160 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the pre-installation block 150.

[0042] It is worth noting that the shear steel bars 160 extend vertically to improve the shear resistance of the connection at the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30, so as to form an effective connection after pouring and bear the force together, and the pre-installation block 150 is used for the installation of the shear steel bars 160, so that the bottom of the shear steel bars 160 can be arranged in the pre-installation block 150 in advance during prefabrication, thereby greatly reducing the construction process and ensuring the construction quality of the widened structure through prefabrication; optionally, the number of the shear steel bars 160 can be set by technicians skilled in the art according to the length of the pre-installation block 150 and the adjacent spacing distance.

[0043] Furthermore, the prefabricated anchor block 140 is in a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and the width of the prefabricated anchor block 140 is consistent with the width of the web connecting portion 110 .

[0044] It should be noted that the rectangular prefabricated anchor block 140 is easy to construct and can be easily prefabricated by matching the width of the widened rib.

[0045] Furthermore, a plurality of shear key protrusions 111 are formed on the web connecting portion 110 , and the plurality of shear key protrusions 111 are arranged at intervals along the extending direction of the web connecting portion 110 .

[0046] It should be understood that setting a shear key at the web connection position of the existing main beam 30 can improve the shear resistance of the interface. Therefore, in the application of the bridge embodiment with shear keys, a plurality of shear key protrusions 111 are also formed on the web connection portion 110 to correspond to the shear key grooves on the bridge web. After installation, the shear key protrusions 111 and the shear wall grooves are matched and embedded to form shear keys.

[0047] Furthermore, a prefabricated channel 141 extending in the transverse direction of the bridge is provided in the prefabricated anchor block 140 .

[0048] It should be noted that the prefabricated channel 141 is used for the prestressed steel strand to be anchored and penetrated, and can be preset in advance during prefabrication to simplify the construction process.

[0049] Furthermore, the number of the shear key protrusions 111 is five, and the five shear key protrusions 111 are arranged at intervals along the extension direction of the web connecting portion 110 .

[0050] It should be noted that the number of the shear key protrusions 111 can be set according to the size of the web connection portion 110, and can also be set accordingly according to the size of the corresponding shear key groove. In the present application as a preferred embodiment, the number of the shear key protrusions 111 is five.

[0051] The present application also provides a widened bridge, including an existing main beam 30, wherein the existing main beam 30 is a box beam, and also includes a widened rib for the bridge flange as described above, wherein the web connecting portion 110 of the widened rib is connected to the outer side of the web of the existing main beam 30, and the flange widening portion 130 of the widened rib is connected to the flange end 310 of the existing main beam 30.

[0052] It is understandable that when a widened bridge system is to be formed, a plurality of widened ribs for bridge flanges can be arranged along the direction of the bridge. When connecting, different connectors can be used for installation and connection. For example, a high-strength bolt connection method can be used. By opening a plurality of through holes in the web connection part 110 of the widened rib, the web connection part 110 of the widened rib and the outer side of the web of the existing main beam 30 are connected by high-strength bolts. Such a connection method is easy to operate, the construction process is simple, and there is less interference with the existing structure. Alternatively, a steel wire connection method can be used, in which the steel wire is passed through the rib plate 20 of the widened rib to form a self-stabilizing system.

[0053] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the contents of the specification and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
