AI Technical Summary
The construction of high bridge pier foundations faces problems such as insufficient bearing capacity of the foundation and high construction costs. Especially in soft soil foundations and karst areas, traditional pile foundations require large construction depths and large amounts of concrete, making it difficult to meet the load requirements of high bridge piers.
The pile foundation adopts a structure with an enlarged head in the middle and a friction head at the bottom, combined with a trapezoidal pile foundation cap and a cap connecting platform. Through steel reinforcement binding and integrated concrete pouring, the friction between the pile foundation and the soil is increased, reducing the amount of concrete used and the construction time.
This improved the bearing capacity of the pile foundation, reduced construction costs and concrete usage, and ensured the stability and safety of the high bridge piers.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge foundation structure construction, specifically to the foundation structure of high-pier bridges. Background Technology
[0002] In modern transportation infrastructure construction, high-pier bridges, as an important engineering form spanning deep valleys, rivers, or complex terrain, have foundation construction techniques that directly affect their stability, durability, and safety. As bridge designs become increasingly taller and more complex, the foundation construction of high piers (typically referring to piers exceeding 30 meters in height) faces numerous challenges.
[0003] High bridge pier foundations are often built in soft soil, karst areas, or high seismic intensity zones. Insufficient soil bearing capacity can easily lead to uneven settlement, while horizontal loads (such as wind and earthquakes) significantly increase the requirements for pier stiffness. For example, in soft soil areas, traditional spread foundations may cause pier tilting due to soil compression, necessitating the use of pile foundations or caisson foundations to distribute the load. In karst areas, advanced drilling and grouting reinforcement are required to prevent cavitation and collapse. Pile foundations are a common choice for high bridge piers, with bored piles penetrating soft soil layers to reach stable strata. However, due to the large loads borne by the upper part of high bridge piers, if "vertical piles" are still used, the drilling depth of the pile driver will increase accordingly; furthermore, the later construction of pile foundations involves a large volume and a corresponding increase in concrete, all of which increase construction costs. Utility Model Content

[0008] Preferably, the steel reinforcement cage of the pile foundation cap is tied together with the steel reinforcement of the pier bottom slab, and the concrete of the pile foundation cap and the pier bottom slab is poured together as a single unit.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0018] Example 1
[0019] like Figure 1 As shown, this is a high-pier bridge foundation structure. Compared to the original "vertical pile foundation," this foundation structure saves construction time and the amount of concrete required. The foundation structure includes a pier base slab 1, with pile foundation structures 2 cast around its bottom perimeter. The top reinforcement of the pile foundation structures 2 is connected to the reinforcement cage of the pier base slab 1 and integrally cast with concrete. The top of the pile foundation structure 2 is broken off, and the reserved reinforcement is tied to the reinforcement cage of the pier base slab 1. The pier base slab 1 and the top reinforcement of the pile foundation structure 2 are then cast together with concrete (integral casting) to ensure overall load-bearing capacity.
[0020] Meanwhile, the middle part of the pile foundation structure 2 is poured with the intermediate enlarged head structure 21, and the bottom end of the pile foundation structure 2 is poured with the bottom end friction head structure 22. When drilling the pile foundation of the high pier, each pile foundation is drilled to a certain depth (half of the depth of the pile foundation in the embodiment), the position is enlarged by the reamer, and then the drilling is continued to the bottom end, and the bottom end of the drilling is reamed by the reamer; then the reinforcement cage framework of the pile foundation structure 2 (pile foundation) is placed, and the concrete is poured into it, and after pouring and forming, it is roughly the pile foundation structure 2 of the embodiment (with the intermediate enlarged head structure 21 in the middle and the bottom end friction head structure 22 at the bottom end). In this way, at the same pile foundation depth, the pile foundation structure 2 of the application has the intermediate enlarged head structure 21 and the bottom end friction head structure 22, which increases the contact area with the pile hole (after pouring the concrete, the friction between the pile foundation structure and the soil is increased), so that the pile foundation structure 2 has greater bearing capacity at the same depth to bear the external load such as the load of the upper high pier and the climbing formwork for constructing the high pier, thereby saving construction time and ensuring construction safety.
[0021] In addition, the top end of the pier bottom plate 1 is poured with the pile foundation cap 3. The reinforcement cage of the pile foundation cap 3 is bound and connected with the reinforcement of the pier bottom plate 1, and the concrete of the pile foundation cap 3 and the pier bottom plate 1 is integrally poured and constructed. The pile foundation cap 3 is poured and constructed in a trapezoidal structure. The pile foundation cap 3 is designed as a "trapezoidal structure" (generally arranged as a "rectangle"), which can reduce the amount of concrete.
[0022] Embodiment 2
[0023] Based on embodiment 1, the pile foundation cap 3 is pre-buried with a plurality of drainage pipes. Due to the construction of the high pier foundation, which belongs to mass concrete, considering the later maintenance and quality, a plurality of drainage pipes are pre-set in the pile foundation cap 3; when the pile foundation cap 3 is constructed and maintained, water is passed through the drainage pipes and the outer wall is covered and maintained, so as to achieve the maintenance effect of "internal drainage and external preservation", reduce the cracking of the concrete, and ensure the quality of the pile foundation cap 3 (the entire foundation structure).
[0024] Further, the top end of the pile foundation cap 3 is constructed with the cap connecting pedestal 4 connected with the high pier; the reinforcement cage in the cap connecting pedestal 4 is bound and connected with the reinforcement cage of the pile foundation cap 3; and the reinforcement cage in the cap connecting pedestal 4 and the reinforcement cage of the pile foundation cap 3 are integrally poured with concrete, that is, the cap connecting pedestal 4 and the pile foundation cap 3 are integrally poured and connected to ensure the integrity.
[0025] Further, the top end of the bearing platform connecting pedestal 4 is embedded with a plurality of joint connecting steel bars 41, which are used to be tied and connected with the bottom end steel reinforcement framework of the high bridge pier; the plurality of joint connecting steel bars 41 are used to be connected with the bottom end steel reinforcement framework of the high bridge pier to be constructed above, and the bottom end position of the high bridge pier to be constructed above is integrally poured with the bearing platform connecting pedestal 4 through concrete, so as to ensure the connection integrity between them and the bearing capacity.
[0026] The designed pile foundation bearing platform 3 is in a trapezoidal structure, and the bearing platform connecting pedestal 4 is relatively smaller than the pile foundation bearing platform 3. Through such design and construction, the volume of the whole foundation structure is reduced relative to the original "vertical pile foundation structure", the amount of concrete used is also reduced, and thus the cost is also correspondingly reduced.
