Each support component is connected to a clamp 9 via a second connector, and the clamp 9 is fitted onto the bridge pier 14. The retaining assembly includes several straight steel plates 3, which are installed on a bearing platform 13 via a first connector. Adjacent straight steel plates 3 are connected by an arc steel plate 6. The support components include several H-shaped steels 8 arranged vertically and parallel to each other on the side of the straight steel plates 3 facing the bridge pier 14. Two adjacent H-shaped steels 8 on adjacent straight steel plates 3 and on the same plane are detachably connected by a connecting steel pipe.
[0032] This utility model, by placing the support component and the second connector between the enclosure component and the pier 14, and by placing the enclosure component on the pier cap 13 through the first connector, enables rapid assembly on the existing pier 14 and pier cap 13. This effectively solves the problems of multiple construction steps, long construction time, high construction cost, difficulty in floating and positioning, need for large floating vessels and lifting devices, and low material reuse rate in the prior art.
[0033] Further optimization of the scheme: the straight steel plate 3 includes several waler steel plates 32. The two outermost waler steel plates 32 are connected to the arc steel plate 6 by several fourth bolts 16. Several U-shaped steels 31 are installed on the side of the waler steel plates 32 facing the H-shaped steel 8. The U-shaped steels 31 are connected to the H-shaped steel 8 by brackets 7.
[0034] By using several fourth bolts 16, the two outermost waler steel plates 32 can be connected to the arc steel plate 6, which not only facilitates quick installation and disassembly, but also effectively encloses the pier 14.
[0035] The bracket 7 on the U-shaped steel 31 enables the H-shaped steel 8 to be effectively installed on the bracket 7.
[0036] In a further optimized design, a transverse steel plate 33 is fixedly connected between two adjacent U-shaped steels 31. The transverse steel plate 33 enables a stable connection between the two adjacent U-shaped steels 31.
[0037] In a further optimized design, two adjacent waler steel plates 32 are connected by several third bolts 15. These third bolts 15 allow for quick installation and removal of the two adjacent waler steel plates 32.
[0038] The design was further optimized so that the waler steel plate 32 is arranged in a U-shape, allowing adjacent waler steel plates 32 to effectively abut against each other.
