Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of precast abutments, and more specifically, it relates to a precast abutment. Background Art

[0002] In the existing technology, a precast abutment is a bridge foundation structure prefabricated in a factory, which can be assembled on site, thus shortening the construction period and improving the construction efficiency;

[0003] The split-piece design of precast abutments has some significant problems. First of all, these split pieces are often large in size, which brings inconvenience to the transportation process. Due to the oversized split pieces, not only special transportation vehicles and equipment are required, but also the road traffic is easily affected during transportation, increasing the transportation risk and cost. In addition, when large split pieces pass through narrow or busy sections, traffic congestion may be caused, and even temporary traffic control may be required, causing inconvenience to the travel of surrounding residents and commercial activities;

[0004] Secondly, during the splicing process, the operation of precast abutments in the existing technology is complex and laborious. Due to the lack of special splicing parts or splicing mechanisms, the split pieces of precast abutments often need to rely on manual labor and heavy machinery for positioning and splicing during on-site assembly. This splicing method is not only inefficient, but also has high requirements for the physical strength and skills of workers, easily causing construction delays and safety accidents. In addition, the complex splicing process may also lead to low splicing accuracy, affecting the overall quality and service life of the abutment;

[0005] Furthermore, a significant deficiency of precast abutments in the existing technology is the lack of a shock absorption mechanism. During the use of the bridge, due to the influence of vehicle driving, wind force and other dynamic loads, the bridge structure will vibrate. Without effective shock absorption measures, long-term vibration may cause fatigue damage to bridge components, reducing the durability and safety of the bridge. Therefore, the lack of a shock absorption mechanism is an important defect in the existing precast abutment technology, which limits the application of precast abutments in some occasions that require high shock absorption performance.

[0037] In this embodiment, first, a bearing platform 2 is installed on a pile foundation 1, and a rib plate 3 is connected to the bearing platform 2 through a slot 15 and a plug plate 16.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 5 , as an implementation manner of the shock absorption mechanism: a shock absorption mechanism is provided on the back wall 4. The shock absorption mechanism includes a through slot 20, a steel plate 21, leakage holes 22, and connection holes 23. The through slot 20 is provided in the back wall 4, multiple groups of steel plates 21 are installed in the through slot 20, the leakage holes 22 are provided on the steel plate 21, and the connection holes 23 are provided on the steel plate 21. The design of the shock absorption mechanism enables the back wall 4 to absorb and disperse shock energy through the movement of the steel plate 21 and the deformation of the leakage holes 22 when being vibrated, thereby reducing the influence of vibration on the structure and improving the seismic performance and safety of the structure.

[0039] The long screw 7 is threadedly connected to the wing wall 6 and its middle end penetrates through the connection holes 23 provided on multiple groups of steel plates 21. The connection design of the long screw 7 and the wing wall 6 enables the wing wall 6 to be connected to the back wall 4 through the long screw 7, providing additional support and stability.

[0040] More specifically, a through slot 20 is left during the precasting process of the back wall 4, multiple groups of steel plates 21 are installed in the through slot 20 before splicing and installation, and during the splicing process, the long screw 7 penetrates through the connection holes 23 provided on multiple groups of steel plates 21 to support and fix the multiple groups of steel plates 21. When the abutment is subjected to seismic forces along the longitudinal direction, the seismic forces are consumed through the shock absorption mechanism and the structure of the abutment itself, reducing the displacement in the longitudinal bridge direction; after the earthquake, it is convenient to quickly repair and replace the shock absorption mechanism. The middle end of the long screw 7 penetrates through the connection holes 23 of multiple groups of steel plates 21, realizing the firm connection between the back wall 4 and the wing wall 6, and at the same time allowing a certain degree of relative displacement to absorb shock energy.

[0041] In summary, when the overall equipment is in use or operation: First, install the bearing platform 2 on the pile foundation 1, and connect the rib plate 3 with the bearing platform 2 through the slot 15 and the insertion plate 16. During the connection process, insert multiple groups of insertion plates 16 into the mating slots 17 provided on the rib plate 3 for positioning. Install the back wall 4 on the rib plate 3, and use the long screw 7, short screw 8 and nut 9 system for fastening connection to provide stability. Install the abutment cap 5 on the back wall 4, install the wing walls 6 at both ends of the back wall 4, and connect the wing walls 6 through the threaded connection of the long screw 7. Use the splicing mechanism to connect multiple precast abutment modules together. During the prefabrication of the bearing platform 2, fix the embedded rod 19 provided at the rear of the splicing seat 11 in the bearing platform 2. During the splicing process, dock two groups of splicing seats 11, insert the clamping parts into the clamping grooves 12 to connect the two groups of splicing seats 11, and then thread the bolts 24 into the threaded holes in the clamping parts and the clamping grooves 12 to splice and fix the two groups of bearing platforms 2.

[0042] Leave a through groove 20 during the prefabrication of the back wall 4. Install multiple groups of steel plates 21 in the through groove 20 before the splicing installation. During the splicing process, pass the long screw 7 through the connection holes 23 provided on multiple groups of steel plates 21 to support and fix the multiple groups of steel plates 21. When the abutment is subjected to longitudinal seismic forces, the seismic forces are dissipated through the shock absorption mechanism and the structure of the abutment itself, reducing the displacement in the longitudinal bridge direction; after the earthquake, it is convenient to quickly repair and replace the shock absorption mechanism. The middle end of the long screw 7 passes through the connection holes 23 of multiple groups of steel plates 21, realizing the stable connection between the back wall 4 and the wing wall 6, and at the same time allowing a certain degree of relative displacement to absorb the vibration energy.

[0043] In all the above-mentioned solutions, for the connection between two components, welding, the cooperation of bolts and nuts, bolt or screw connection, or other well-known connection methods can be selected according to the actual situation, which will not be elaborated one by one here. For all the above-mentioned cases involving fixed connection, welding is preferably considered. Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, for those of ordinary skill in the art, it can be understood that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention.
