Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of cable tower technology, specifically a cable tower suitable for dismantling structurally damaged old arch bridges using the cable-stayed fastening method. Background Technology

[0002] To extend the service life of old arch bridges or improve their load-bearing capacity, a hybrid structural design may be adopted, combining the characteristics of arch bridges with those of suspension or cable-stayed bridges. This may involve the installation of pylons, which are typically used to secure high-strength steel cables. These cables can provide additional support, help distribute the load, and reduce pressure at the arch foot, thereby protecting and strengthening the original arch bridge structure.

[0003] Currently, some old bridges, due to design flaws or outdated construction techniques, inevitably suffer structural damage as they age and are classified as dangerous bridges. To avoid the danger of bridge collapse, the most direct solution is demolition and reconstruction. For the demolition of the main arch ring of a deck arch bridge, the cantilever demolition method can be used to dismantle the bridge segment by segment. The cable-stayed system consists of a cable-stayed system, an anchoring system, and cables. The cable-stayed system is often a temporary steel tower, so the tower needs to have certain strength and rigidity. To ensure the rapid and safe demolition of old arch bridges, the control of the tower installation and demolition schedule is also particularly important.

[0004] Therefore, this utility model provides a cable tower suitable for dismantling structurally damaged old arch bridges using the cable-stayed fastening method, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
