Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of bridge engineering technology, specifically relating to a precast bridge deck connection structure for steel-UHPC composite beams. Background Technology

[0002] Steel-concrete composite girder bridges fully utilize the excellent tensile strength of steel and the superior compressive strength of concrete, gaining widespread application in bridge engineering due to their technical and economic advantages. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) possesses excellent tensile and compressive mechanical properties and durability. Compared to ordinary concrete bridge decks, UHPC bridge decks are thinner, lighter, and perform better, effectively solving the problem of cracking in traditional composite girder concrete bridge decks. Furthermore, the use of precast bridge decks maximizes the standardization, industrialization, and green construction of bridges. However, the connection structure of steel-concrete composite girder bridges, as a critical yet vulnerable link in precast bridge deck construction, directly affects the construction speed and operational performance of the bridge decks. Therefore, research on the connection structure of precast steel-UHPC composite girder bridge decks is particularly necessary.

[0003] Therefore, how to design a steel-concrete composite beam bridge deck and inter-slab connection structure to improve its performance and significantly enhance the service performance of the steel-concrete composite beam bridge has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a precast bridge deck connection structure for steel-UHPC composite beams.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A steel-UHPC composite beam precast bridge deck connection structure includes a steel main beam 1 and a UHPC precast bridge deck 2;

[0007] The top surface of the steel main beam 1 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the UHPC precast bridge deck 2;

[0008] The axial direction of the steel main beam 1 is orthogonal to the axial direction of the UHPC precast bridge deck 2;

[0009] On the UHPC precast bridge deck 2, multiple shear grooves 4 are evenly distributed along the axial direction;

[0010] Two adjacent UHPC prefabricated bridge panels 2 are arranged in parallel, and a wet joint 3 is provided between two adjacent UHPC prefabricated bridge panels 2.

[0011] In each shear groove 4, multiple cylindrical head weld studs 5 are evenly distributed; the bottom of the cylindrical head weld studs 5 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the steel main beam 1.

[0012] On the top surface of the steel main beam 1, and in the wet joint 3, multiple sets of cylindrical head weld studs 5 are evenly distributed; each set of cylindrical head weld studs 5 consists of multiple cylindrical head weld studs 5.

[0013] Furthermore, preferably, the wet joint 3 is a T-shaped wet joint.

[0014] Furthermore, preferably, the shear groove 4 is a T-shaped shear groove.

[0015] Furthermore, preferably, three shear grooves 4 are evenly distributed along the axial direction on the UHPC precast bridge deck 2.

[0016] Furthermore, preferably, four cylindrical head welding studs 5 are evenly distributed in each shear groove 4.

[0017] Furthermore, preferably, three sets of cylindrical head weld studs 5 are evenly distributed on the top surface of the steel main beam 1 and in the wet joint 3; each set of cylindrical head weld studs 5 consists of four cylindrical head weld studs 5.

[0018] Furthermore, preferably, a pressure strip 6 is installed on the top surface of the steel main beam 1 and on both sides of the bottom of the UHPC precast bridge deck 2; the pressure strip 6 is a bentonite rubber rainwater-swellable waterstop strip.

[0019] The axial direction of the pressure strip 6 is parallel to the axial direction of the main steel beam 1.

[0020] This invention uses shear grooves and cylindrical head welding studs to tightly connect the UHPC precast bridge deck and the steel main beam, and achieves longitudinal connection between UHPC precast bridge decks through wet joints.

[0021] Preferably, the cylindrical head weld studs are welded to the designated positions on the steel main beam in the field.

[0022] This invention preferably employs a T-shaped shear groove structure, which is beneficial for improving the steel-concrete interface connection performance of the steel-UHPC composite beam. Simultaneously, it enhances the strength and stiffness of the connection points in the composite beam. Compared to the traditional single-shear-plane shear groove design, the composite shear plane formed by the T-shaped shear groove effectively improves the stability and integrity of the connection between the UHPC precast bridge deck and the steel main beam.

[0023] The present invention preferably adopts a T-shaped wet joint structure, which enhances the joint strength of the precast slab connection.

[0024] The present invention preferably uses a 10mm thick BW-S120 type bentonite rubber rainwater-swellable sealing strip as the pressure strip, and its technical indicators should comply with the provisions of "Bentonite Rubber Water-Swellable Sealing Strip" (JG / T 141-2001).

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0026] This utility model provides a steel-UHPC composite beam precast bridge deck connection structure, which can enhance the shear bearing capacity of the connection structure; specifically, the composite shear surface of the connection structure (composed of shear groove, cylindrical head weld stud, wet joint and steel bars in the UHPC precast bridge deck) can enhance the shear bearing capacity of the connection structure compared with the single shear surface of the traditional connection structure.

[0027] The T-shaped wet joint adopted in this invention can significantly improve the load-bearing capacity and crack resistance of the wet joint, effectively enhancing the load-bearing capacity and service performance of steel-concrete composite beam bridges.

[0028] This invention has a very good prospect for promotion and application in the design and construction of steel-concrete composite beam bridges. While meeting the requirements of prefabricated construction, it can also ensure that the connection structure has excellent performance, and its competitive advantage is obvious.

Before pouring, the UHPC precast bridge deck 2 is preferably roughened to enhance the bond between the old and new concrete. After pouring, it is preferable to use 80℃ high-temperature steam curing for 72 hours to prevent early shrinkage cracks in the UHPC ultra-high performance concrete.
