Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bridge technology, specifically relating to a reaction frame for widening and heightening bridge piers in the jacking of small-radius curved bridges. Background Technology
[0002] Nowadays, bridge construction projects are becoming increasingly complex, and on-site construction is constrained by the construction environment. The jacking method has been widely used in this context because it has advantages such as minimal impact on existing traffic, low requirements for construction sites, simple construction equipment, and no need for a large amount of manpower and material resources.
[0003] For curved bridges, the jacking construction process presents challenges due to the small distance between the left and right spans. The lateral displacement of the steel box girder during jacking often requires significant construction space and results in substantial eccentric pressure. Existing reaction frames typically meet the structural load-bearing capacity under unfavorable conditions, leading to extended construction periods and increased costs. Furthermore, the conventional reaction frame supports rest directly on the pier structure, causing stress concentration and affecting the overall stability of the piers. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Due to the inherent characteristics of curved bridges, during the incremental launching construction, there are issues such as the small distance between the left and right bridge spans, which often requires a large offset space for the lateral displacement of the steel box girder, and there is also the problem of large eccentric pressure.
[0005] To overcome the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides a new technical approach. By setting four I-beams on the cap beam to widen it, and then building steel columns and a jacking platform to raise it on the basis of widening, the problem of insufficient lateral correction space during the jacking construction of small-spacing curved bridges is solved, and prestressed steel strands are configured to solve the eccentric load.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0007] A reaction frame for widening and heightening bridge piers in a small-radius curved bridge jacking method is characterized by comprising a widening section and a heightening section. The widening section includes four I-beams mounted on the upper end of the cap beam, and the heightening section includes a steel column fixedly connected to the four I-beams and a jacking platform fixedly connected to the steel column.
[0008] For structural stability, the structure also includes ring-shaped steel hoops and three-section I-beams. The ring-shaped steel hoops are used to fix the four-section I-beams, and the three-section I-beams are diagonally supported between the four-section I-beams and the piers.
[0009] Furthermore, the four-section I-beams, three-section I-beams, and steel columns are horizontally fixed with 200mm I-beams.
[0010] To ensure overall load-bearing capacity, steel plates are pre-embedded in the pier body and fixed to 172 I-beams and 433 I-beams, and thick rubber pads are installed between the cap beam and the jacking platform.
[0011] To address the eccentric load issue during jacking, tensioning benches, tensioning anchors, and steel strands are also provided. The tensioning benches are mounted on four I-beams, and the tensioning anchors are located at the bottom of the pier. Steel strands connect the tensioning benches and the tensioning anchors, and the tensioning anchors are fixed with steel plates and high-strength bolts.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] A reaction frame for widening and heightening bridge piers during the jacking of small-radius curved bridges is proposed. This is achieved by widening the piers by installing four I-beams on the cap beam, and then heightening them by installing steel columns and a jacking platform on top of the widened 4-I-beams. This solves the problem of insufficient lateral correction space during the jacking construction of small-spacing curved bridges. Furthermore, by installing tensioning benches, tensioning anchors, and steel strands, the problem of different lateral loads on the piers under different working conditions during the jacking process is solved.
