[0022] The utility model will be described in detail below in combination with the drawings.
[0023] For example, Figures 1-9 As shown, an arch bridge pier comprises a pier body 1, a bearing platform 2 and a pile foundation 3 arranged in sequence from top to bottom, the pier body 1 comprises a middle arch rib 11, a side arch rib 12 and a pier top hat beam 14, the side arch rib 12 is located on both sides of the middle arch rib 11, the side arch rib 12 is a half-arch-shaped cantilever beam, the pier top hat beam 14 is located on the top of the middle arch rib 11 and the side arch rib 12, the bearing platform 2 is provided with a pier arch seat 17 on the top, the side arch rib 12 on the same side of the middle arch rib 11 is connected with the side arch rib 12 on the same side of the middle arch rib 11 on the same side of the middle arch rib 11.
[0024] A stand column 13 is arranged between the middle arch rib 11 and the side arch rib 12, and the stand column 13 is supported between the pier top hat beam 14 and the pier arch seat 17.
[0025] The cross section of the pier arch seat 17 is trapezoidal.
[0026] A plurality of support cushion stones 15 are arranged on the top of the pier top hat beam 14 along the length direction. The pier top hat beam 14 is provided with a pier stop block 16 at each end of the top.
[0027] The bearing platform 2 is composed of a platform body 21 and a cushion layer 22, and the cushion layer 22 is located at the bottom of the platform body 21.
[0028] The pier body 1 is a direct structure for bearing the upper load, which transmits the upper load to the pile foundation 3, and bears the wind load, earthquake and the like, so as to ensure the stability and safety of the bridge.
[0029] The pier top hat beam 14 is a load transmission member on the upper part of the arch rib (the middle arch rib 11 and the side arch rib 12), which adopts a rectangular cross section with a drip edge on both sides, is integrally poured with the middle arch rib 11 and the side arch rib 12, and is transitioned through a straight-line chamfer; the pier top hat beam 14 is connected with the arch rib in a variable height mode, so as to ensure the flatness of the pier top. The support cushion stone 15 is arranged on the top of the pier top hat beam 14, so as to ensure the close fit with the support, and the pier stop block 17 is arranged at each end, so as to ensure the safety and stability of the upper structure.
[0030] The middle arch rib 11 and the side arch rib 12 are both reinforced concrete solid plate structures, and the cross section is rectangular. The four corners are correspondingly cut into chamfers, so as to reduce the sharp part of the structure edge and increase the durability. The middle arch rib 11 is a rigid joint hinge-free arch, and the arch axis adopts a circular curve, which is the main load-bearing component of the pier. The side arch rib 12 is an arch-shaped cantilever beam, which presents a 1 / 2 middle arch rib 11 and has an upwardly curved "reverse arch" shape, so as to enhance the stability of the structure to a certain extent. When subjected to downward load, the fixed end forms a compressive stress and generates an upward counterforce, which is a component for assisting the middle arch rib 11 to bear the load. The arch foot of the middle arch rib 11 and the side arch rib 12 is connected with the pier arch seat 17, and the pier arch seat 17 is a trapezoidal body structure, which fully plays the compression resistance of the arch seat concrete and also has the function of beautiful appearance. The stand column 13 is arranged between the middle arch rib 11 and the side arch rib 12, which is fixed with the pier arch seat 17 at the lower part and connected with the pier top hat beam 14 at the upper part, so as to reduce the span of the pier top hat beam 14 and assist the arch rib to bear the load.
[0031] The pier abutment 17 is connected with the bearing platform 2, the bearing platform 2 bears the load transmitted by the arch rib and the column 13, and the load is evenly distributed to each pile foundation 3, so that the pile foundation 3 is balanced in stress. The platform body 21 adopts a beam-shaped structure, the section is rectangular, the reinforcing steel bars of the middle arch rib 11, the side arch rib 12, the column 13 and the pier abutment 17 are all anchored into the platform body 21. The bottom surface of the platform body 21 is poured with a plain concrete cushion 22, which plays the role of leveling the foundation pit, adjusting the elevation and sharing the bearing capacity of the platform body 21.
[0032] The pile foundation 3 is connected with the bearing platform 2, and the pile foundation 3 transmits the load to the soil layer with good bearing performance at a deep underground, so as to meet the requirements of bearing capacity and settlement. In order to make the pile foundation 3 and the bearing platform 2 more closely combined and prevent leakage in the later period, the pile foundation 3 extends into the bearing platform 2 by not less than 10 cm.
[0033] The middle arch rib 11, the side arch rib 12 and the column 13 in the utility model constitute the structure modeling of the abstract "lily", the appearance is beautiful, the uniform bridge pier form is avoided, the appearance image of the traditional frame pier with the cap beam is overcome, the landscape of the city is improved through the modeling of the utility model.
[0034] The utility model discloses a bridge pier which is light in structure, strong in spanning capacity, saves land and good in landscape effect, and has wide application prospect in city bridge construction.
