Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of bridge structures, in particular to a high-performance UHPC-ECCT hybrid beam structure. Background Art

[0002] Currently, most bridge projects still rely on reinforced concrete beam structures. Such structures are subjected to various loads during service, such as self-weight, vehicle loads, and possible impact from falling rocks, and there is a risk of brittle failure. In severe cases, it may lead to the overall collapse of the superstructure of the bridge, causing casualties and economic losses. Compared with ordinary concrete, ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) and engineered cementitious composite (ECC) exhibit significant advantages.

[0003] UHPC materials are known for their ultra-high compressive strength, good toughness, crack resistance, and durability, while ECC materials are attracting attention for their excellent ductility, high toughness, durability, corrosion resistance, and the characteristics of fine and dense crack development. Applying UHPC and ECC materials to the beam structures of bridge projects is expected to overcome problems such as brittle failure, easy cracking in the tension zone, and insufficient durability of ordinary reinforced concrete beams, significantly improving the bearing capacity, durability, and crack resistance of the beam structure, making them high-performance materials with broad application prospects.

[0004] Currently, the application of ECC materials in the beam structures of bridge projects is still in its infancy, and many researchers have begun to apply them to steel-concrete composite beams to enhance the strength and ductility of the structure. The application of UHPC materials in bridge projects is becoming increasingly widespread, covering key structures such as bridge decks and main girders. Especially in the application of bridge decks in steel-concrete composite structures, UHPC materials can effectively solve the problems of excessive self-weight of the bridge deck and cracking in the negative moment zone.

[0005] Compared with traditional steel-concrete composite beams, the structure using UHPC materials is not only superior in performance but also more reasonable in structural form, effectively solving the problem of cracking in the negative moment zone and improving the bearing capacity of the composite beam. In ordinary reinforced concrete T-beams, due to the relatively low compressive and tensile strengths of ordinary concrete, under the action of external loads, the upper edge of the T-beam bears compression and the lower edge bears tension. To better resist external loads, it is usually necessary to increase the upper edge section to enhance the bearing capacity, while the lower edge section is prone to cracking under service conditions, which not only affects the durability of the T-beam but also may lead to serious corrosion of the steel bars, reducing the structural safety. Therefore, optimizing bridge projects using UHPC and ECC materials is an inevitable choice to improve structural performance and ensure safety. Summary of the Utility Model

[0038] Embodiment

[0039] Refer to Figures 1-3 As shown, a high-performance UHPC-ECC type hybrid beam structure provided in this embodiment includes an ECC segment 3 and a UHPC segment 2 located above it;

[0040] The ECC segment 3 and the UHPC segment 2 are internally cast with a steel reinforcement cage 1;

[0041] The ECC segment 3 and the UHPC segment 2 are connected by the steel reinforcement cage 1 and cast into an integral structure.

[0042] The ECC segment 3 and the UHPC segment 2 are combined to form a "T" - shaped structure.

[0043] It should be noted that the UHPC segment 2 is a "T" - shaped structure, and the ECC segment 3 is a columnar structure with a narrower upper part and a wider lower part.

[0044] The upper part and the lower part of the steel reinforcement cage 1 are respectively adapted to the structural shapes of the UHPC segment 2 and the ECC segment 3. The upper part of the steel reinforcement cage 1 is cast inside the UHPC segment 2, and the lower part of the steel reinforcement cage 1 is cast inside the ECC segment 3.

[0045] Specifically, the T - shaped hybrid beam of the present utility model overcomes the problems of heavy self - weight, poor durability and easy cracking of traditional reinforced concrete beams. It efficiently integrates the ultra - high compressive strength and excellent durability of UHPC, as well as the ultra - high ductility, crack resistance and corrosion resistance of ECC. When applied to the upper structure of a bridge, it can not only maximize the excellent mechanical properties of the materials, but also realize the lightweight design of the structure. In addition, the steel reinforcement cage 1 of the hybrid beam of the present utility model can be completed in a prefabrication yard set up in a factory or on - site, and the hybrid beam can also be cast by formwork in the prefabrication yard, which can realize the standardized, factory - based and large - scale production of components, effectively shortening the construction period. Moreover, the T - shaped hybrid beam of the present utility model and its construction method have the characteristics of reasonable structural design, light weight, clear force - bearing and obvious advantages, and are especially suitable for small and medium - span bridges with corrosion resistance in coastal complex environments.

[0046] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the UHPC segment 2 and the steel reinforcement cage 1 are cast to form the upper part of the hybrid beam, and the reinforcement ratio of the high - performance UHPC - ECC T - shaped hybrid beam structure is 0.5% - 2.0%.

[0047] The UHPC segment 2 uses modified reactive powder concrete, in which the mixture is doped with high - strength steel fibers of different sizes and / or shapes. The modified reactive powder concrete is mainly composed of graded quartz fine sand, cement, quartz powder, silica fume, high - range water - reducing agent and steel fibers, and the maximum aggregate size is 600μm. By improving the fineness and activity of the mixture, the best strength and durability can be achieved. The addition of steel fibers effectively improves the mechanical properties and durability of the concrete, thus realizing fiber concrete with high strength, high toughness and high durability, and at the same time effectively inhibiting the expansion of micro - cracks inside the concrete, showing good plastic properties. The compressive strength of the UHPC material is above 150MPa, and the tensile strength is above 15MPa.

[0048] In this embodiment, the joint surface between the UHPC segment 2 and the ECC segment 3 is defined as the connection interface 4.

[0049] The ECC segment 3 and the steel reinforcement cage 1 are cast to form the lower part of the hybrid beam. The height of the ECC segment 3 is 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the overall height of the high-performance UHPC-ECCT type hybrid beam structure, that is, the connection interface 4 is located at 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the beam height.

[0050] ECC is a new type of randomly distributed short fiber reinforced cement-based composite material with super toughness. Its main components include cement, fly ash, quartz sand, silica fume, water, water reducing agent and polyethylene fiber. This fiber reinforced cement-based composite material incorporates polyethylene fibers of different diameters and / or lengths, effectively improving the ductility, energy absorption capacity, corrosion resistance and impact resistance of concrete structures. The ultimate tensile strain of ECC can reach more than 3%, and the ultimate crack width is less than 100μm.

[0051] The T-shaped hybrid beam in this embodiment fully utilizes the utilization efficiency of UHPC materials and ECC materials, fully reflects the beneficial effects of material combination, and has the advantages of good durability, strong corrosion resistance, good mechanical properties, high load-bearing capacity and convenient construction.

[0054] The second step: The formwork is erected in the prefabrication yard, and the ECC segment 3 is poured to the connection interface 4, and the connection interface 4 is set as a rough surface;

[0055] The third step: After the ECC segment 3 solidifies, continue to pour the UHPC segment 2;

[0056] The fourth step: Steam curing for 28 days can complete the prefabrication construction of the UHPC-ECCT shaped hybrid beam and transport it to the construction site.
