AI Technical Summary
In bridge construction, when the amount of backfill behind the end of the trestle bridge is small and the embankment is shallow, the construction of temporary retaining walls is complicated and time-consuming, making it difficult to achieve fast and convenient construction.
Using precast reinforced concrete walkway slabs as the foundation, combined with embedded connectors and retaining plate components, including panel vertical ribs and steel panels, a detachable retaining structure is formed. Taking advantage of the reusability and ease of construction of steel structures, rapid construction is achieved.
This enabled the rapid construction of temporary retaining walls behind the platform, reducing on-site construction workload and construction risks. Furthermore, these walls could be reused during the installation and dismantling of the trestle bridge, reducing the use of permanent structural materials.

Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically to a temporary retaining wall and steel trestle bridge system suitable for shallow buried embankments. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, temporary steel trestle bridges are widely used in the construction of various types of bridges over water, providing working platforms and construction access for bridge projects. Their application facilitates the construction of the bridge substructure, and due to their similar structural types—mostly "steel pipe piles + Bailey truss" or "steel pipe piles + structural steel"—they offer strong reusability and versatility. Bridge construction projects typically incorporate these characteristics, resulting in mature temporary steel trestle bridge construction technology.
[0003] However, in some construction scenarios, the turnover, versatility and structural volume of steel trestle bridges limit the form of the bridge abutment structure at the end of the trestle bridge. In the face of insufficient backfill volume and shallow filling depth, how to design a retaining wall structure that is easy to construct and has a low on-site construction workload has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content
[0004] In the construction of steel trestle bridges, the construction of temporary retaining walls is complex and time-consuming, especially when the backfill volume at the end of the trestle bridge is small and the embankment is shallow.
[0005] In a first aspect, embodiments of this application provide a temporary retaining wall behind an abutment suitable for shallow-buried embankments, comprising:
[0006] A precast reinforced concrete walkway slab is laid in the bridge abutment area, and the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab is provided with embedded connectors.
[0007] The retaining plate assembly is erected on the upper surface of the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab and is integrated with the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab through the embedded connector.
[0008] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the retaining plate assembly includes:
[0009] At least one vertical rib of the panel is connected to the embedded connector of the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab;

[0012] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the pre-embedded connector is welded to the vertical rib of the panel.
[0013] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the pre-embedded connector is detachably connected to the vertical rib of the panel.
[0014] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the pre-embedded connector includes: a connecting bolt, one end of which is embedded in the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab, and the other end extends out of the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab and is threadedly connected to the vertical rib of the panel.
[0015] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the pre-embedded connector includes: a connecting pin, one end of which is embedded in the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab, and the other end of which extends out of the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab and is inserted into the vertical rib of the panel.
[0016] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the pre-embedded connector includes: a connecting pin, one end of which is embedded in the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab, and the other end of which extends out of the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab and is interference-fitted with the vertical rib of the panel.
[0017] In conjunction with the first aspect, in one embodiment, the leveling pad is provided with a snap-fit hole at the bottom, and the vertical rib of the panel is provided with a positioning protrusion at the end away from the precast reinforced concrete walkway slab, the positioning protrusion being positioned and engaged with the snap-fit hole.

[0019] The beneficial effects of the technical solutions provided in this application include at least the following:
[0020] This application utilizes precast reinforced concrete walkway slabs, commonly found on construction sites, as backfill slabs for shallow-buried embankments. This effectively leverages the high weight, versatility, and ease of construction of precast reinforced concrete walkway slabs, enabling rapid construction of the temporary retaining wall structure behind the abutment. This significantly reduces on-site construction workload and thus lowers construction risks. Furthermore, this application utilizes temporary steel structure retaining slabs as the retaining structure, achieving the same reusability as temporary steel trestle bridges. Construction and reuse can be carried out simultaneously during the installation and dismantling of trestle bridges, reducing the amount of permanent structural materials used in conventional concrete abutments or the construction workload of driven pile retaining slabs.
