AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, when anchoring the cable-stayed bridge towers, the vertical main reinforcement and circumferential stirrups must be avoided or broken at the groove opening, resulting in the breakage of the steel reinforcement cage and unreliable force transmission.
The structure employs a combination of a steel reinforcement cage, multiple pairs of steel slots, and prestressed ducts. By installing steel slots on the steel reinforcement cage and connecting them with the prestressed ducts, a closed steel reinforcement cage is formed. The prestressed steel strands continuously transmit force at the anchorage position, preventing the steel reinforcement cage from breaking.
It enables continuous force transmission of the steel reinforcement cage at the anchorage position, improves the reliability of force transmission, reduces the construction difficulty, and eliminates the need for opening holes in the external formwork of the bridge tower, making it suitable for various types of formwork.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction, and in particular to a prestressed anchorage structure for the anchorage zone of a cable-stayed bridge tower. Background Technology
[0002] Cable-stayed bridges consist of beams, towers, cables, piers, and foundations. They connect the main beams and towers via stay cables, forming a combined structural system where the main beams and towers are under compression, and the stay cables are under tension. This is one of the main structural forms of long-span bridges. The connection between the stay cables and the main beams and towers is a key load-bearing component of a cable-stayed bridge. A straightforward approach to anchoring the stay cables to the towers is to use hollow concrete tower columns, anchoring the stay cables inside the columns. Since the invention of modern cable-stayed bridges, this method has been the mainstream tower anchoring approach, leading to three main types of tower anchoring: prestressed anchoring, steel anchor boxes, and steel anchor beams. Prestressed anchoring refers to directly applying prestress to the tower wall to resist the tension of the stay cables. While steel anchor boxes and steel anchor beams do not rely primarily on the tower wall as a load-bearing component, sufficient prestress is still required in the tower wall to accommodate coordinated stress and situations such as cable breakage or replacement. Previously, the slots on the outer side of the tower wall had to be reserved through the outer formwork, and the vertical main reinforcement and circumferential stirrups had to be avoided or disconnected at the slots.

[0029] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixing" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.
[0030] This utility model provides a prestressed anchorage structure for the anchorage zone of a cable-stayed bridge tower. The prestressed anchorage structure includes: a reinforcing steel cage 10, multiple pairs of steel grooves 20, and prestressing ducts 30. The reinforcing steel cage 10 includes multiple vertical main bars 11 and multiple circumferential stirrups 12. The steel grooves 20 are installed on the sidewalls of the reinforcing steel cage 10, and the vertical main bars 11 and circumferential stirrups 12 at the steel grooves 20 are fixedly connected to the steel grooves 20. A prestressing duct 30 connects two pairs of steel grooves 20, and the prestressing duct 30 is used to accommodate prestressed steel strands.
[0031] The technical approach in this application is to reserve slots in the tower wall by embedding prefabricated permanent steel slots 20 within the outer formwork of the bridge tower without altering its external formwork. These slots are then sealed after the prestressed steel strands are tensioned and anchored. The vertical main bars 11 or circumferential stirrups 12 in the steel reinforcement cage 10 are disconnected at the steel slot 20 location and then welded to the anchoring reinforcement of the steel slot 20, forming a closed steel reinforcement cage. This ensures continuous reinforcement at the prestressed anchorage location and reliable force transmission. Compared to traditional anchorage methods, this reduces extensive interference between the bridge tower reinforcement and the prestressed anchorage structure, lowers construction difficulty, and improves construction quality. The bridge tower external formwork requires no openings and can be matched with various types of formwork.
[0032] Further, the steel channel 20 includes an end-sealing plate 21 and a cylindrical body 22. Both ends of the cylindrical body 22 have openings. The cylindrical body 22 is fixedly mounted on the end-sealing plate 21, with the end-sealing plate 21 located at the opening at the first end of the cylindrical body 22. The area of the opening at the first end of the cylindrical body 22 is smaller than the area of the opening at the second end of the cylindrical body 22. The opening at the second end of the cylindrical body 22 is flush with the side of the reinforcing cage 10. The end-sealing plate 21 is fixedly connected to the end of the prestressed duct 30, and the vertical main reinforcement 11 and the circumferential stirrups 12 are both fixed to the cylindrical body 22. In this application, the vertical main reinforcement 11 and the circumferential stirrups on the reinforcing cage 10 at the opening at the second end of the cylindrical body 22 are both disconnected, and both ends of the disconnected sections are fixedly mounted to the cylindrical body 22.
[0033] In one embodiment, the cylinder 22 includes four side plates connected end to end in sequence, and the overall shape of the cylinder 22 is frustum-shaped. The end sealing plate 21 is a rectangular plate, and a side plate is provided on each of the four sides of the end sealing plate 21. In another embodiment, the end sealing plate 21 is a circular plate, and the shape of the cylinder 22 is frustum-shaped.
[0034] Furthermore, the end cap 21 has a through hole that communicates with the prestressed duct 30. The end cap 21 is perpendicular to the prestressed duct 30.
[0035] Finally, one end of the vertical main reinforcement 11 and the circumferential stirrup 12 at the steel channel opening 20 on the reinforcing steel cage 10 are both fitted to the cylinder 22. One end of the vertical main reinforcement 11 and the circumferential stirrup 12 at the steel channel opening 20 on the reinforcing steel cage 10 are fixedly connected to the cylinder 22 (specifically, by welding).
[0036] In an embodiment of this utility model, the cable anchorage area of a cable-stayed bridge tower is taken as an example. The prestressed steel strands are single steel strands with a nominal diameter of 15.2 mm and a tensile strength standard value of 1860 MPa. The depth of the steel groove 20 is 20 cm, the end cap 21 has a planar dimension of 30 cm × 30 cm (with a φ11 cm hole), the thickness of the end cap 21 is 5 cm, and the slope of the surrounding plate opening is 1:1.5. The vertical main reinforcement 11 of the tower wall uses HRB400 steel bars with a diameter of 28 mm, a spacing of 125 mm, and a clear spacing of 65 mm; the horizontal circumferential stirrups 12 of the tower wall use HRB400 steel bars with a diameter of 20 mm, a spacing of 125 mm, and a clear spacing of 81 mm.
[0037] The implementation steps of the plan are as follows:
[0038] 1. Based on the location and specifications of the prestressed steel strands in the bridge tower, process the steel grooves 20 at each location of the bridge tower and weld the anchor bars to form a steel reinforcement skeleton 10.
[0039] 2. Erect formwork for the bridge tower and tie the reinforcing bars; embed steel grooves 20mm in the tower wall.
[0040] 3. The vertical main reinforcement 11 and circumferential stirrup 12 on the outer side of the tower wall are welded to the anchor reinforcement of the steel channel 20 at the position of the steel channel 20 to form a closed reinforcement skeleton.
[0041] 4. After the bridge tower concrete is poured, the prestressed steel strands are tensioned and anchored, and 20 mm of concrete is poured into the steel channel opening to seal the anchor.
[0042] It should be understood that the above description of the specific embodiments of this utility model is only for illustrating the technical route and features of this utility model, and its purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this utility model and implement it accordingly.
