TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model belongs to rail transit bridge structure and steel - concrete composite structure technical field, mainly relates to a partial variable stiffness enhanced type welding bolt shear connector and steel concrete combined track beam. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the aggravation of traffic congestion in small and medium-sized cities in China, medium-capacity urban rail transit gradually becomes the preferred solution in second, third and fourth-tier cities. The medium-capacity rail system represented by the straddle-type monorail traffic has been widely used in countries along the "Belt and Road" due to its low construction cost, short construction period and strong environmental adaptability. However, the structure and connection technology of the existing track beam still have deficiencies in durability and construction efficiency, and need to be innovated and improved.
[0003] Currently, the track beam in the straddle-type monorail traffic system mainly adopts three forms of precast concrete beam, steel track beam or steel-concrete composite beam. Due to the influence of shrinkage and creep, the precast concrete beam has a large difficulty in linear control, and often needs to be ground and adjusted; although the steel track beam has good linear control performance, its running surface has poor weather resistance, and has large vibration and noise, and high maintenance cost. In comparison, the steel-concrete composite beam combines the linear control advantage of steel structure with the damping vibration reduction characteristics of concrete panel, which not only effectively reduces the beam weight and construction difficulty, but also improves the running stability of the rail system. Therefore, the steel-concrete composite track beam has high application prospect in medium and low-capacity rail transit projects.
[0004] However, in the actual application of the existing welding bolt shear connection technology in the steel-concrete composite beam, problems such as local cracking of concrete, deformation or loosening of welding bolt often occur, which makes it difficult to fully exert the cooperative stress performance between the bridge deck and the steel beam, and limits the advantage of UHPC in the track beam. In view of these problems, the utility model provides a local variable stiffness enhanced type welding bolt shear connector. Through the local thickening design of the bottom of the welding bolt, the connector can significantly improve the shear stiffness and uplift resistance, reduce the stress concentration effect of the welding area, and improve the shear deformation compatibility between the UHPC cast-in-place bridge deck and the track steel beam.
[0005] The innovative design of the local variable stiffness enhanced type welding bolt shear connector can be used with the UHPC cast-in-place bridge deck to improve the shear bearing capacity and connection reliability of the track beam, effectively reduce the risk of concrete cracking and welding bolt deformation. At the same time, the technical scheme also has the characteristics of simple construction, strong durability and low maintenance cost, which provides a new technical path for the long-life design of the track beam, and has wide engineering application value.

[0031] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely in combination with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, not all the embodiments.
[0032] As Figures 1-5As shown, the utility model discloses a kind of partial variable stiffness enhanced type weld bolt shear connectors suitable for steel-ultra high performance concrete (UHPC) combined track beam, especially for the efficient connection demand between track beam concrete panel and steel beam. The shear connector adopts a partial variable stiffness enhanced type weld bolt structure with thickened bottom local area, which is composed of thickened columnar rod, slender rod and round head, and the weld bolt bottom end is fixed on the steel beam flange plate by welding process, and is densely arranged with certain spacing to form weld bolt group. During bridge deck construction, first, weld bolt group is arranged on steel beam flange plate according to design requirements, and after binding steel mesh, UHPC bridge deck is integrally poured, and concrete wraps weld bolt group to form integral connection structure. UHPC material has excellent durability, crack resistance and compressive strength, which can effectively cope with the dynamic load of straddle-type monorail traffic vehicles and complex environmental conditions. The reasonable arrangement form of partial variable stiffness enhanced type weld bolt shear connector, combined with the high performance characteristics of UHPC material, not only improves the shear bearing capacity and connection reliability of track beam, reduces the risk of concrete cracking and weld bolt deformation, but also significantly improves construction efficiency and quality, prolongs the service life of track beam, and has high application prospect and popularization value.
[0033] The utility model provides a kind of novel track beam bridge shear connection structure system, mainly by UHPC cast-in-place bridge deck, partial variable stiffness enhanced type weld bolt shear connector, track steel beam and flat link cross beam are constituted. The shear connector of UHPC cast-in-place bridge deck and track steel beam is connected by the reserved uniform distribution type weld bolt, to improve the shear capacity and durability of overall structure.
[0034] As the preferred embodiment of the above, the partial variable stiffness enhanced type weld bolt shear connector is composed of weld bolt welded to the flange of track steel beam. The weld bolt is evenly arranged on the flange of track steel beam and distributed at certain intervals to improve the stability of connection. The core feature of the connector is to optimize the arrangement density and local variable stiffness design of weld bolt, so that the weld bolt has higher shear capacity in the connection area, thereby effectively reducing the stress concentration problem of the connection area. Compared with traditional shear connectors, the partial variable stiffness enhanced type weld bolt shear connector used in the utility model has higher fatigue resistance and connection reliability, and is particularly suitable for application scenarios of high-load and long-life structures such as track beam bridges.
[0035] As the preferred embodiment of the above, the track steel beam 3 is the main structural component for bearing track and vehicle load. To further enhance the overall stiffness of track beam bridge and balance load distribution, flat link cross beams are arranged between track steel beams, as shown in Figure 5 The flat link cross beam 4 not only helps to improve the stability of the overall structure, but also effectively disperses the impact load generated during vehicle travel.

After welding, the track steel beam is hoisted and erected to the predetermined position. Then, the cast-in-place UHPC bridge deck is directly poured at one time to ensure that the group of welded studs is completely embedded in the connection area, thereby forming a stable shear connection.
[0037] Specifically, a partially variable stiffness enhanced welded shear connector, comprising a thickened bottom rod (2-1), an elongated middle rod (2-2) and a cylindrical head (2-3) connected in turn; the diameter of the bottom rod (2-1) is greater than the diameter of the elongated middle rod (2-2); the diameter of the cylindrical head (2-3) is greater than the elongated middle rod (2-2); the height to diameter ratio of the thickened bottom rod (2-1) is optimized, the diameter of the thickened bottom rod (2-1) is 1.5 to 2 times the diameter of the elongated middle rod (2-2), and the height of the thickened bottom rod (2-1) is 1 / 6 to 1 / 3 of the total height of the welded stud.
