Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of steel-concrete composite arch bridges, and more specifically, it relates to an installation structure for the crossbeams between the ribs of a steel-concrete composite arch bridge. Background Technology

[0002] An arch bridge is a bridge in a vertical plane where the arch serves as the main load-bearing structural component. Vertical loads are transferred to the arch abutments on both banks through the bending arch, with the arch structure primarily under compression. Steel structures are effectively used due to their high material strength, fast construction speed, and suitability for larger spans. Applying steel structural materials to the main beams and arch ribs of arch bridges creates steel arch bridges capable of long spans. Based on different load-bearing methods and structural characteristics, arch bridges can be mainly divided into three types: through-deck, mid-deck, and arch-through-span. Mid-deck steel-concrete composite arch bridges are widely used due to their beautiful lines, reasonable stress state, and convenient and quick construction technology. They fully utilize the material properties of concrete and steel, exhibiting high load-bearing capacity and good plasticity and toughness.

[0003] For mid-span steel-concrete composite arch bridges employing a longitudinal and transverse beam system, the number of arch ribs is typically four or six, with four ribs being the most common (two on each side). For this type of bridge, the inter-rib crossbeams consist of numerous components, including arch ribs, crossbeams, arch columns, and side blocks. Currently, the conventional construction process uses a "piecemeal" approach, where each component is hoisted and installed individually. The main steps are: ① Fabricating steel components such as arch ribs, arch columns, side blocks, and crossbeams in the factory, performing trial assembly, and then transporting them to the construction site; ② First, hoisting the outer single arch rib; ③ Then, hoisting the inner single arch rib; ④ After the arch rib is in place, hoisting the arch columns and welding them to the arch rib; ⑤ Installing the side blocks; ⑥ Finally, hoisting the crossbeams to complete the installation of the inter-rib crossbeams. During construction, significant spatial conflicts exist between the components, making installation difficult and construction control challenging. Furthermore, the construction process is complex and requires precise construction control techniques.

[0004] Therefore, in order to facilitate the construction of the spandrel steel-concrete composite rib beams in the longitudinal and transverse beam system, developing a quick-installation arch bridge rib beam installation structure is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems that there are many components in the inter-rib crossbeam area, and that conventional construction methods result in large spatial conflicts between components, making installation difficult, construction uncontrollable, and the construction process complex, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an installation structure for the inter-rib crossbeam of a steel-concrete composite arch bridge, so as to "integrate the parts into a whole", avoid spatial conflicts during the construction period, facilitate construction positioning, improve construction quality, shorten the construction cycle, and improve construction convenience.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an installation structure for the crossbeams between the ribs of a steel-concrete composite arch bridge, comprising:

[0007] An arch rib includes two outer arch ribs arranged vertically, two inner arch ribs arranged vertically, and multiple arch rib columns, wherein the multiple arch rib columns are connected between the two outer arch ribs and the two inner arch ribs.

[0011] Side stops, which are connected to the top plate of the column on the arch.

[0012] Furthermore, the first connector consists of four first steel plates located on the same horizontal plane, with one end of each first steel plate connected to the arch rib column and the other end connected to the top plate of the crossbeam.

[0013] Furthermore, the side of the first steel plate that contacts the arch rib column is an arc-shaped surface, and the first steel plate is welded to the arch rib column.

[0014] Furthermore, the first steel plate is welded to the top plate of the crossbeam.

[0015] Furthermore, the second connector includes at least two second steel plates, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top plate of the arch column; the upper side of the second steel plate is connected to the bottom plate of the crossbeam, and the lower side is connected to the top plate of the arch column.

[0035] Please see Figures 1-7 The following describes an installation structure for the crossbeams between the ribs of a steel-concrete composite arch bridge, as provided in an embodiment of this utility model.

[0036] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of a common mid-span steel-concrete composite arch bridge. Its main structure includes arch ribs 1 and a longitudinal and transverse beam system 2. Based on the length of the transverse beams and considering structural stress and hoisting technology, the transverse beams are divided into outer beam segments adjacent to the arch ribs 1 and middle beam segments. This embodiment of the invention primarily studies the installation structure between the outer transverse beams 5 and the arch ribs 1. Specifically, this embodiment of the invention improves the structure of the inter-rib transverse beam positions in mid-span steel-concrete composite arch bridges, namely... Figure 1 The structure at point A in the design was improved.

[0037] In one embodiment of the present invention, a crossbeam installation structure for a steel-concrete composite arch bridge includes: an arch rib 1, two symmetrically arranged upper arch columns 3, an upper arch column top plate 3-1, an outer crossbeam 5, and a side stop block 4. The arch rib 1 includes two outer arch ribs 1-1 arranged vertically, two inner arch ribs 1-2 arranged vertically, and multiple arch rib columns 1-3, which are connected between the two outer arch ribs 1-1 and the two inner arch ribs 1-2. The two upper arch columns 3 are respectively connected to the lower outer arch rib 1-1 and the lower inner arch rib 1-2. The two ends of the top plate 3-1 of the upper arch column are respectively connected to the upper side of the two upper arch columns 3. The outer crossbeam 5 includes a top plate 5-1, a bottom plate 5-2, and a web connecting the top plate 5-1 and the bottom plate 5-2. The top plate 5-1 is connected to the arch rib columns 1-3 through a first connector 6. The bottom plate 5-2 is connected to the top plate 3-1 of the upper arch column through a second connector 7. The side block 4 is connected to the top plate 3-1 of the upper arch column.

[0038] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the arch rib 1 in this embodiment includes two upper and lower outer arch ribs 1-1, two upper and lower inner arch ribs 1-2, and four arch rib columns 1-3. The upper and lower ends of the two left arch rib columns 1-3 are respectively connected to the two upper and lower outer arch ribs 1-1, and the upper and lower ends of the two right arch rib columns 1-3 are respectively connected to the two upper and lower inner arch ribs 1-2. The two symmetrically arranged upper arch columns 3 are respectively connected to a lower outer arch rib 1-1 and a lower inner arch rib 1-2.

[0039] This utility model provides an installation structure for the crossbeams between the ribs of a steel-concrete composite arch bridge. The structure connects multiple components, including the arch rib 1, outer crossbeam 5, upper arch column 3, and side stop block 4, into a unified whole via a first connector 6 and a second connector 7. This achieves "integration of components into a single unit," avoiding spatial conflicts that exist during the construction period of traditional structures. This installation structure for the crossbeams between the ribs of a steel-concrete composite arch bridge not only facilitates construction positioning and improves construction quality but also shortens the construction cycle and enhances construction convenience.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the first connecting member 6 consists of four first steel plates located on the same horizontal plane. One end of each first steel plate is connected to the arch rib column 1-3, and the other end is connected to the top plate 5-1 of the crossbeam. For example... Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown. Furthermore, in this embodiment, the side of the first steel plate that contacts the arch rib column 1-3 is an arc-shaped surface. The first steel plate is welded to the arch rib column 1-3, as shown. Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, since the arch rib column 1-3 is a circular steel pipe, the side of the first steel plate that contacts the arch rib column 1-3 is designed as an arc surface, which facilitates the welding operation between the first steel plate and the arch rib column 1-3. Furthermore, the first steel plate is also welded to the top plate 5-1 of the crossbeam. In this way, the arch rib column 1-3 and the top plate 5-1 of the crossbeam can be easily welded together by using four first steel plates.

[0041] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the second connecting member 7 includes at least two second steel plates, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top plate 3-1 of the arch column; the upper side of the second steel plate is connected to the bottom plate 5-2 of the crossbeam, and the lower side is connected to the top plate 3-1 of the arch column, as shown below. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 7 As shown. Furthermore, the upper side of the second steel plate is welded to the bottom plate 5-2 of the crossbeam, and the lower side is welded to the top plate 3-1 of the arch column. In this way, the top plate 3-1 of the arch column and the bottom plate 5-2 of the crossbeam can be easily welded together using the second steel plate. Specifically, the second connecting member 7 includes four rectangular second steel plates, with two second steel plates on each side of the top plate 3-1 of the arch column.

[0042] In this embodiment of the invention, the steel components such as the arch rib 1, outer crossbeam 5, arch column 3, and side stop block 4 are all manufactured in the factory, and the overall structure is also assembled in the factory, achieving "integration of parts into a whole" and then transporting it to the construction site for hoisting and installation. The specific construction process can be carried out according to the following steps:

[0043] 1) First, the steel structural components such as arch rib 1, crossbeam, arch column 3, and side block 4 are processed in the factory. Based on the length of the crossbeam and in combination with the structural stress and hoisting process, the crossbeam is divided into the outer crossbeam 5 adjacent to the arch rib 1 and the middle beam segment, so as to minimize the cantilever length of the outer crossbeam 5.

[0044] 2) The components such as arch rib 1, outer crossbeam 5, arch column 3, and side block 4 are trial-assembled in the factory.

[0045] 3) Fix the top plate 5-1 of the outer crossbeam 5 to the arch rib column 1-3 using the first connector 6 (i.e., the first steel plate, 4 in total), see attached. Figure 4 Appendix Figure 6 ;

[0046] 4) Fix the bottom plate 5-2 of the outer crossbeam 5 to the top plate 3-1 of the arch column using the second connector 7 (i.e., the second steel plate, in 4 places), see attached. Figure 5 Appendix Figure 7 ;

[0047] 5) Inspect the quality of the welds to ensure that the multiple components, such as the arch rib 1, the outer crossbeam 5, the arch column 3, and the side block 4, are integrated into a unified whole in the factory, thus achieving "integration of parts into a whole".

[0048] 6) Transport the assembled components to the construction site;

[0049] 7) Lift the assembled components and adjust them to the design elevation;

[0050] 8) Then lift the middle beam section and adjust it to be assembled with the overall components on both sides. Make minor adjustments to the design elevation and complete the installation of the arch ribs and crossbeams.

[0051] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
