Its upper flange has a large flexural stiffness, while the lower rib provides a large shear strength. When the T-beam is used in the construction of widened bridges, due to the problems of upper structure beam height limitation caused by flood level, road longitudinal section control, and the limitation of the original lower structure in the reconstruction and expansion of old bridges, the overall height of the T-beam is greatly restricted.

By adopting an integral structure, it is convenient for transportation and can improve the bridge construction efficiency.

[0004] However, the T-beam in this technical solution has a relatively high height and cannot meet the design requirements of the low beam height scheme. Summary of the Utility Model

[0005] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an ultra-low beam height T-beam structure suitable for widened bridges for the deficiencies of the prior art.

[0016] As an optimization, the top plate, the web and the haunch are integrally cast.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0018] (1) By arranging the steel tendons horizontally, the present utility model saves the longitudinal installation space, so that the total height of the web and the top plate above it can be limited within 45 cm, greatly reducing the overall height of the T-beam and meeting the ultra-low beam height design requirements of the widened bridge.

[0028] Embodiment

[0029] As Figures 1-4 shown, this embodiment provides an ultra-low beam height T-beam structure suitable for widened bridges, including a top plate 1 and a web 2 arranged below the top plate 1. A haunch 3 is arranged between the top plate 1 and the web 2. A plurality of steel tendons 4 are installed in the top plate 1 and the web 2. The steel tendons 4 are arranged along the length direction of the web 2, and a plurality of the steel tendons 4 are arranged horizontally. The width of the web 2 is 60-70 cm, and the total height of the web 2 and the top plate 1 above it is not greater than 45 cm. Increasing the width of the web 2 improves the flexural and shear bearing capacities of the T-beam, and reduces the overall height of the T-beam on the premise of ensuring the strength of the T-beam.

[0030] By arranging the steel tendons 4 horizontally, the longitudinal installation space is saved, enabling the total height of the web 2 and the top plate 1 above it to be limited within 45 cm, greatly reducing the overall height of the T-beam and meeting the ultra-low beam height design requirements of the widened bridge.

[0031] As Figures 1-3 shown, the steel tendons 4 are prestressed steel tendons. In this embodiment, two steel tendons 4 are symmetrically arranged left and right in the T-beam cross-section, including inclined segments 41 arranged on both sides in the length direction of the web 2, horizontal segments 42 arranged in the middle in the length direction of the web 2, and transition segments 43 connecting the inclined segments 41 and the horizontal segments 42. Both the inclined segments 41 and the horizontal segments 42 are straight segments, and the included angle between the inclined segment 41 and the horizontal plane ranges from 1.8° to 2°. The outer end of the inclined segment 41 is 20 - 30 cm away from the bottom surface of the web 2, and the horizontal segment 42 is 10 - 14 cm away from the bottom surface of the web 2. The transition segment 43 is an arc segment and is tangent to the inclined segment 41 and the horizontal segment 42 respectively, and its bending point is 1 meter away from the mid-span of the T-beam to improve the shear bearing capacity of the main beam under the low beam height.

[0032] Through the refined design of dividing the steel tendon 4 into the inclined segment 41, the horizontal segment 42, and the transition segment 43, the uniform distribution of the tension force is ensured, the stress concentration phenomenon is avoided, the safety and durability of the structure are improved, the service life of the main beam is extended, and the maintenance cost of the main beam over the entire life cycle is reduced.

[0033] Furthermore, the steel tendon 4 is composed of several steel bars with a diameter of 15.2 mm. In this embodiment, 9 such steel bars are used for the steel tendon 4 to improve the flexural bearing capacity of the main beam.

[0034] As Figure 3 shown, several steel tendons 4 are symmetrically arranged along the center line of the web 2 to balance the forces on both sides of the steel tendon 4.

[0035] Furthermore, the haunch 3 is arranged along the length direction of the web 2, and its width range is 10 - 14 cm.

[0036] By shortening the width of the haunch 3, the transverse layout of the cross-section is optimized, facilitating the formwork layout and construction.

[0037] As Figure 1 、 2 shown, the T-beam mentioned in this embodiment is a precast component, and the top plate 1, the web 2, and the haunch 3 are integrally cast.

[0038] As Figure 4 shown, the T-beams are evenly arranged left and right during installation, erected on the cross beam, and the top plates 1 between adjacent T-beams are connected by cast-in-place method.

[0039] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
