Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of bridge engineering, and particularly relates to a bridge expansion joint device, specifically a sidewalk expansion joint device for urban bridges. Background Art
[0002] The sidewalk expansion joint refers to a gap or joint set in the pedestrian passages on both sides of the bridge deck or at the connection between the sidewalk and other building supports due to the expansion and contraction of the bridge. It can relieve the deformation of the bridge structure caused by factors such as thermal expansion and contraction and earthquakes, and at the same time facilitate the passage of pedestrians. With the high-quality development of urban bridge construction, the requirements for the setting of urban bridge sidewalks are getting higher and higher. Considering the construction cost, the design of urban bridge sidewalk expansion joints generally adopts a simple method. The sidewalk of an urban bridge is only for pedestrians. One method adopted in the design is to extend the expansion joint of the roadway to the sidewalk and make a special design for the sidewalk structure at the beam end. This method is complex in construction and high in cost. Another commonly used method is to adopt a simple steel plate expansion joint structure, generally without drainage prevention measures. The smoothness and comfort of the expansion joint surface are poor, and the rainwater on the bridge deck is easily discharged directly under the bridge from the expansion joint, resulting in the expansion joint and the bridge structure being eroded by rainwater.
