DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The utility model will be further described in detail below through specific embodiments in combination with the drawings.

[0033] The bridge and the tunnel include an abutment plate, an abutment embedded plate, a short subgrade, and a tunnel portal transition section, wherein:

[0034] The abutment plate is a reinforced concrete plate and mainly plays a transition role, so that the vehicle can smoothly transition and reduce the phenomenon of jumping caused by structural differences during the process of driving from the bridge to the tunnel (or vice versa), thereby improving the driving comfort and safety.

[0035] The abutment embedded plate can tightly connect the bridge structure and the tunnel lining or other connecting sections, ensure the force transmission and cooperative work between the two, and guarantee the smoothness and continuity of the entire line.

[0036] The short subgrade is a structural system that smoothly connects the bridge and the tunnel, and can make the bridge and the tunnel realize natural transition in space, thereby guaranteeing the continuity and integrity of the line.

[0037] Example 1

[0038] As Figures 1-4As shown, the embodiment provides a highway bridge tunnel mouth guardrail structure, which is arranged at the bridge tunnel mouth to improve driving safety. Specifically, the guardrail structure comprises: a type 4 guardrail, a type 5 guardrail and a type 6 guardrail connected in sequence, a groove is arranged on the asphalt concrete surface layer 31 of the bridge deck 3, the type 4 guardrail, the type 5 guardrail and the type 6 guardrail are formed into a base structure with narrow top and wide bottom by pouring concrete on the reinforced framework, and all of them are poured into the groove of the asphalt concrete surface layer 31, thereby forming an integral whole with the bridge deck 3.

[0039] The guardrail structure is disconnected at the bridge abutment expansion joint, and the disconnected width is consistent with the width of the expansion joint, so as to avoid affecting the function of the bridge abutment expansion joint. Meanwhile, the guardrail structure is provided with a contraction joint every 5m (the joint is sawn along the outer side of the guardrail, and the joint depth is 3cm-5cm, which is used as the contraction joint of the guardrail itself, and an expansion joint is provided every 30m, and the width of the expansion joint is 2cm. In addition, a drainage hole with a size of 10x7.5cm is arranged every 5m at the bottom of the guardrail structure, so as to drain the accumulated water on the road.

[0040] The type 4 guardrail, the type 5 guardrail and the type 6 guardrail are all provided with a reflective strip 7, which reflects the light of the vehicle at night or in low visibility conditions to improve the visibility of the guardrail. The type 4 guardrail is located at one end away from the tunnel mouth, and the distal end thereof is fixedly connected with the bridge guardrail 2, and the type 4 guardrail overlaps with the bridge guardrail 2. Since the outer side of the type 4 guardrail has the bridge guardrail 2, the type 4 guardrail does not have strong anti-collision strength, and mainly plays a guiding role. In the case of not affecting driving safety, the type 4 guardrail can reduce the construction process and reduce the construction difficulty.

[0041] The type 5 guardrail is located at the bridge abutment slab section (about 1m-3m long) of the bridge, and the two ends thereof are connected with the type 4 guardrail and the type 6 guardrail respectively. Since the bridge abutment slab has a reinforced framework, a column structure cannot be used, and therefore the type 5 guardrail is connected by means of drilled hole and embedded steel bar, as shown in Figure 5 The same vertical section (width direction of the type 5 guardrail) is provided with two steel bars 51 embedded in the concrete base layer 32 of the bridge deck 3, so as to ensure the anti-collision level of the type 5 guardrail. The distance between the adjacent steel bars 51 in the length direction of the type 5 guardrail is 150mm.

[0042] As shown in Figure 6 The type 6 guardrail is connected with the tunnel mouth, and the bottom thereof is connected with the bridge deck 3 through a column 61. The length of a single column 61 is 1.2m, so that the column 61 can penetrate through the concrete base layer 32 of the bridge deck 3 and extend into the cushion layer 33. Meanwhile, the distance between the adjacent two columns 61 is 1m, so that the anti-collision level of the type 6 guardrail reaches SA level.

[0043] Specifically, taking the highway with a design speed of 80km / h as an example, the construction process of the guardrail structure is as follows:

[0044] The 10cm asphalt concrete surface layer of the bridge deck is chiseled to form a bridge deck groove, wherein the minimum length of the groove on the left side of the driving direction should be greater than or equal to 6.3m, and the minimum length of the groove on the right side of the driving direction should be greater than or equal to 34.3m, then the steel reinforcement framework of the first type of guardrail 4 is installed, and the first type of guardrail 4 concrete is poured.

[0045] The drill is used to drill holes in the bridge abutment slab segment, and the drilling depth is not less than the length of the steel bar 51 of the second type of guardrail 5. Then the steel bar 51 is inserted into the hole, and the hole is filled with the hole filling glue to complete the hole filling, then the steel reinforcement framework of the second type of guardrail 5 is installed, and the second type of guardrail 5 concrete is poured.

[0046] The drill is used to drill holes in the bridge abutment slab segment, and the drilling depth is not less than the length of the steel bar 51 of the second type of guardrail 5. Then the steel bar 51 is inserted into the hole, and the hole is filled with the hole filling glue to complete the hole filling, then the steel reinforcement framework of the second type of guardrail 5 is installed, and the second type of guardrail 5 concrete is poured.

[0047] The reflective strip 7 is installed on the guardrail after the assembly, and the construction is completed.

[0048] The cost of the above-mentioned guardrail is about 524 yuan / m, and the cost of the shaped steel guardrail on the market is about 2052 yuan / m, the price is only 1 / 4 of the steel guardrail, and the guardrail has high stability and durability, and can effectively reduce the cost of the guardrail.

[0049] The above application of specific examples is used to describe the present application, which is only used to help understand the present application, and does not limit the present application. For the skilled in the art to which the present application belongs, according to the idea of the present application, a number of simple deductions, deformations or substitutions can be made.
