Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bridge technology, specifically relating to a long-span simply supported tied arch bridge without a bridge deck. Background Technology
[0002] The statements in this section are merely background information related to this utility model and do not necessarily constitute prior art.
[0003] In the field of arch bridge construction and coal conveyor belt load-bearing facilities, traditional arch bridges and load-bearing structures have revealed numerous problems in practical applications. Previously, the main arch structure of arch bridges, due to its large rise, suffered from poor lateral stability. Reducing the rise often resulted in insufficient load-bearing capacity of the main arch. Facing complex geographical environments and climatic conditions, it was less able to resist external interference, posing safety hazards. Furthermore, existing arch bridge construction design specifications are mostly based on highway and railway load models, which are not applicable to special-purpose bridges such as those for large-span coal and oil conveying. On the one hand, special-purpose bridges have large loads; on the other hand, they do not require bridge deck structures. Using existing bridge construction methods for special-purpose bridges results in insufficient load-bearing capacity and wasted steel. Simultaneously, in terms of wind-supported structures, stability and load-bearing capacity are limited, making it difficult to meet the load-bearing requirements of large facilities. The lack of an effective support system between wind supports makes them prone to structural deformation in harsh environments such as strong winds. Traditionally, steel wire or steel strand suspension rods are used, which not only have poor overall structural integrity but also involve cumbersome tensioning procedures, high construction difficulty, and long construction periods, significantly increasing construction costs and the complexity of construction management. Utility Model Content

It adopts a four-steel-tube truss main arch, reducing the main arch rise and improving the lateral stability of the structure. It also simplifies the suspension tensioning process and reduces construction difficulty.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model is implemented through the following technical solution:

[0007] A first wind brace and a second wind brace are fixedly installed between the first main arch and the second main arch. Tie beams are installed on both sides of the arch bridge along the length direction. A crossbeam is installed between the tie beams on both sides of the arch bridge to support the coal conveyor belt.

[0013] Furthermore, the adjacent diagonal braces are arranged in a figure-eight shape to improve the stability and load-bearing capacity of the first and second wind braces.

[0015] Furthermore, the total number of the hangers is twice the number of the crossbeams, and the connection position between the hangers and the tie beam is the position where the tie beam and the crossbeam intersect.
[0016] Furthermore, the suspension rod is a steel pipe structure.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are:
[0018] This utility model adopts a four-steel-pipe truss main arch, which reduces the main arch rise and significantly improves the lateral stability of the structure, meeting the stringent requirements of heavy-duty equipment such as coal conveyor belts for bridge structural stability. The first and second main arches are both composed of arc-shaped steel pipes and connecting rods welded together to form a truss structure with a square radial cross section, ensuring the reliability of the structure under complex stress conditions. A first wind brace and a second wind brace are set between the first and second main arches, and support rods are arranged between the wind braces. Adjacent diagonal rods are arranged in a figure-eight shape, which effectively improves the stability and load-bearing capacity of the wind braces and enhances the wind resistance performance of the arch bridge under different working conditions.
[0019] In this invention, multiple hangers are evenly arranged between the tie beam and the main arch, with the number of hangers being twice the number of crossbeams. They are connected at the intersection of the tie beam and the crossbeam, achieving uniform load transfer and optimizing the stress distribution of the structure. The use of steel pipe structure hangers instead of traditional steel wire or steel strand hangers improves the overall integrity of the structure, while eliminating the hanger tensioning process, reducing construction difficulty, shortening the construction period, and saving construction costs.
