Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction technology, and in particular to a circular steel structure caisson for use in the construction of bridges in the sea. Background Technology

[0002] Construction of bridge pier caps and lower pier sections in deep water areas requires the use of steel caissons as construction platforms. Considering the operational space needed for applying the silane anti-corrosion coating to the concrete, the caissons cannot be used as formwork. During the use of the caissons, loads such as still water pressure, wave forces, wave buoyancy, typhoon loads, and the self-weight of the pier cap during pouring must be taken into account, resulting in complex structural stresses. Therefore, a steel structure caisson is needed to reduce installation steps and improve the load-bearing performance of traditional rectangular caissons. Utility Model Content

[0003] This utility model aims to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a circular steel structure caisson for the construction of bridges in the sea.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a circular steel structure caisson for construction of a bridge in the sea, comprising: a reinforced concrete base plate and multiple steel caisson side wall plates. The reinforced concrete base plate is fitted onto the erected engineering steel pipe piles. Several vertical I-beam main ribs are fixedly spaced along the circumferential direction on the inner side of each steel caisson side wall plate. Several circumferential steel plate stiffening ribs are fixedly spaced along the vertical direction on the inner side of each steel caisson side wall plate. The steel caisson side wall plates are fixedly installed circumferentially. Around the reinforced concrete base slab, a side wall segment connecting plate is provided on the inner side of the splice of adjacent steel caisson side wall panels. The side wall segment connecting plate is fixedly connected to the adjacent steel caisson side wall panels by bolts. A side wall guide plate is fixedly provided at one end of the outer side of each steel caisson side wall panel. A side wall double-peak waterstop is provided between the side wall guide plate and the outer side of the adjacent steel caisson side wall panel. A bottom plate double-peak waterstop is provided between the bottom of the steel caisson side wall panel and the reinforced concrete base slab.

[0005] Furthermore, a water-stop capsule is provided between the engineering steel pipe pile and the reinforced concrete base slab, and water-stop mortar is filled on top of the water-stop capsule to fill the gap between the engineering steel pipe pile and the reinforced concrete base slab.

[0006] Furthermore, a ball valve is provided at the bottom inner side of the side wall panel of the steel caisson.

[0007] Furthermore, the reinforced concrete base slab includes several precast reinforced concrete slabs, a working platform is installed on the engineering steel pipe pile, the precast reinforced concrete slabs are placed on the working platform, and adjacent precast reinforced concrete slabs are fixedly connected by pouring wet joints.

[0008] Furthermore, a lifting rod is fixedly installed on the outer side of the steel caisson sidewall panel, and the bottom of the lifting rod is fixedly inserted through the reinforced concrete base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a caisson lowering system is provided at the top of the engineering steel pipe pile, and the lowering end of the caisson lowering system is fixedly connected to the reinforced concrete base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, each of the engineering steel pipe piles is provided with multiple tension and compression rods on its outer side, and the bottom of the tension and compression rods is fixedly installed on the reinforced concrete base plate.

[0011] Furthermore, each of the engineering steel pipe piles is provided with several shear keys on its outer side, and the engineering steel pipe piles are fixedly connected to the reinforced concrete base plate through the shear keys.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model designs a circular, single-walled steel caisson cofferdam structure without circumferential support for a four-pile rectangular foundation. While meeting the requirements for withstanding large wave forces, it reduces the installation procedures for walers and circumferential supports, improving the stress performance of traditional rectangular caissons. Waterproofing measures are achieved by using limiting steel plates, bolts, and double-peaked waterstops between the curved sidewalls of the steel caisson, realizing quick and convenient interface connection and sealing. A variable-thickness annular precast reinforced concrete steel caisson base plate is used, which, while adapting to the structural stress characteristics, achieves the purpose of saving engineering materials and reducing hoisting weight through varying base plate thickness.
