Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of highway guardrail technology, specifically relating to a detachable UHPC prefabricated guardrail structure for highway and airport runways. Background Technology
[0002] Highway airport runways are a special type of runway, typically converted temporarily or permanently from sections of highways or roads, for aircraft takeoffs and landings, refueling, or temporary parking. Movable barriers on highway airport runways usually need to meet higher safety standards and flexibility requirements, enabling rapid dismantling and safe collision avoidance to ensure the safety of aircraft takeoffs and landings. Currently, the main types of movable barriers for highway airport runways are corrugated beam steel barriers and concrete barriers, and their collision protection level and applicable conditions need to be selected based on the specific road conditions. After long-term service, both types of barriers will experience corrosion, material aging, structural damage, and peeling of the surface anti-corrosion layer, leading to a reduction in the barrier's durability and collision protection performance. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model designs a detachable UHPC prefabricated guardrail structure for highway and airport runways. This structure requires no special tools or welding, avoids on-site hot work, and is reusable, reducing material waste and replacement frequency. It offers advantages such as convenient installation and disassembly, flexible adaptability, cost-effectiveness, and high safety.
[0004] The detachable UHPC prefabricated guardrail structure for highway and airport runways includes UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments and connecting rods. Each UHPC prefabricated guardrail segment consists of a UHPC prefabricated shell and internal concrete filling. The connecting rods traverse the UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments and are cast within the internal concrete filling. One end of the connecting rod has a groove, and the other end has a strip that fits into the groove. Multiple UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments are joined together by inserting the connecting rod's strip into the groove. The groove and strip have coaxial circular holes perpendicularly formed, and the posts are inserted perpendicularly into these holes for fixation and joining.
[0005] The UHPC precast shell is a thin shell with a thickness of not less than 2.5 cm, a compressive strength of not less than 120 MPa, a tensile strength of not less than 5 MPa, and the compressive strength of the concrete filling inside is not less than 20 MPa.
[0006] The connecting rod is a solid steel rod with a diameter of 100mm.
[0007] The column has a diameter of 30mm and a height that is the same as that of the guardrail.
[0008] The connecting rods are arranged in three rows from top to bottom. The center of the lower connecting rod is 23.5cm from the bottom surface of the UHPC prefabricated shell, and the center of adjacent connecting rods is 30cm apart.
[0009] The distance between two adjacent UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments shall not exceed 15cm.
[0010] An anti-slip pad is bonded to the bottom of the UHPC prefabricated shell. The anti-slip pad is a rubber anti-slip pad.
[0011] The technical advantages of this utility model are:
[0012] 1. This utility model designs a detachable UHPC prefabricated guardrail for highway and airport runways. The detachable guardrail system is constructed by connecting components and anti-slip pads. The mechanical assembly of the rigid concrete guardrail ensures the overall anti-collision performance of the guardrail, which can prevent vehicles from passing through and play a role in blocking, buffering and guiding out-of-control vehicles.
[0013] 2. This utility model forms a detachable guardrail system by splicing connecting components. The guardrail segments can be reused, reducing material waste and replacement frequency. The detachable flexibility of the connecting components can improve the transfer efficiency of UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments, thereby meeting the technical standards of highway and airport runways.

[0019] Example 1
[0020] Reference Figure 2 and 3A detachable UHPC prefabricated guardrail structure for highway and airport runways includes UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments and connecting rods. Each UHPC prefabricated guardrail segment consists of a UHPC prefabricated shell and internal concrete filling. The connecting rods traverse the UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments and are cast within the internal concrete filling. The connecting rods have splicing slots at both ends, one end with a groove and the other end with an insert that fits into the groove. Multiple UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments are spliced by inserting the connecting rod's insert into the groove. The groove and insert have coaxial circular holes perpendicularly formed, and a post is inserted perpendicularly to the ground into the circular hole for fixed splicing.
[0021] The UHPC precast shell is a thin shell with a thickness of 3cm, a compressive strength of not less than 120MPa, a tensile strength of not less than 5MPa, and the compressive strength of the concrete filling inside is not less than 20MPa.
[0022] The connecting rod is a solid steel rod, 4.2m long and 100mm in diameter. This ensures both the service life of the guardrail and enhances its impact resistance.
[0023] The column has a diameter of 30mm and a height that is the same as that of the guardrail.
[0024] The connecting rods are arranged in three rows from top to bottom. The center of the lower connecting rod is 23.5cm from the bottom surface of the UHPC prefabricated shell, and the center of adjacent connecting rods is 30cm apart.
[0025] The splicing groove is 50mm wide, the diameter of the round hole is 30mm, and the distance between the center of the hole and the end of the rod is 25mm.
[0026] The spacing between two adjacent UHPC prefabricated guardrail segments is 12cm.
[0027] The UHPC prefabricated shell has an anti-slip pad adhered to its bottom and is placed horizontally on the road surface. The anti-slip pad is made of rubber and has good wear resistance and anti-slip properties. The anti-slip pad at the bottom of the guardrail prevents significant lateral displacement of the guardrail upon vehicle collision, thus avoiding disruption to the normal driving of surrounding vehicles.
[0028] Before pouring the internal filling concrete, the connecting rod is fixed in the marked position with the help of templates and supports.
[0029] When guardrails need to be moved, the posts are removed, and heavy machinery is used to move the guardrail sections one by one to the designated location. When highways and airport runways are restored to ordinary road use, the guardrail sections are transported to their original location for mechanical assembly, restoring them to normal service status.
[0030] A full-vehicle SB-level crash simulation test was conducted on the detachable UHPC prefabricated guardrail structure used for highway and airport runways. The three vehicle types did not cross, overturn, or straddle the test guardrail. After the collision, the vehicles did not overturn and drove out almost parallel to the guardrail. The lateral displacement of the guardrail after the collision did not endanger the driving of adjacent vehicles. The designed guardrail has good guiding function and its safety performance meets the SB protection level requirements.
