Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a prefabricated segmental assembly double-walled hollow bridge pier, and it relates to the field of bridge engineering. Background Technology

[0002] The traditional method of casting reinforced concrete bridge piers in place results in a lengthy construction period, high consumption of materials such as supports and formwork, and severe dust and noise pollution during construction, which is detrimental to environmental protection and sustainable development. Precast segmental assembled bridge piers have many advantages, such as shorter construction period, higher casting quality, and less susceptibility to seasonal and weather conditions, and are being used more and more widely in bridge engineering construction.

[0003] Furthermore, for some cross-sea bridges, especially high-pier, long-span bridges, the piers are usually designed as hollow thin-walled components to ensure structural ductility and reduce self-weight. Although the reinforced concrete hollow piers and double-steel-tube concrete hollow piers commonly used in current projects have good mechanical properties, their durability is still insufficient due to the susceptibility of steel bars and steel tubes to corrosion, resulting in high maintenance costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier to solve the problem of insufficient durability of existing prefabricated segmental bridge piers in harsh service environments.

[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution.

[0006] The present invention relates to a prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier, which includes prestressed anchorages, cap beams, double-walled hollow segments, foundations, and prestressed tendons.

[0007] The pier structure for supporting the cap beam is composed of multiple double-walled hollow segments assembled vertically along the axial direction.

[0008] The bottom of the double-walled hollow segment at the bottom of the pier structure is located on the foundation, and the cap beam is located at the top of the double-walled hollow segment at the top of the pier structure.

[0009] The cap beam and foundation are respectively equipped with prestressed anchorages; the prestressed tendons penetrate the double-walled hollow segments and are connected to the cap beam and foundation; the prestressed tendons and the prestressed anchorages work together to anchor the cap beam, pier structure and foundation to each other.

[0010] The prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier of this utility model includes steel pipes and GFRP pipes as the double-walled hollow segments.

[0011] The steel pipe and GFRP pipe are arranged coaxially and nested, with the GFRP pipe being the outer pipe and the steel pipe being the inner pipe; the space between the steel pipe and the GFRP pipe is filled with concrete to form a double-walled hollow segment;

[0012] Located on both axial end faces of the double-walled hollow segment, one end face is provided with frustum-shaped shear keys arranged along the circumference, and the other end face is provided with circular shear key grooves arranged along the circumference.

[0013] The prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier of this utility model has the same number and position of frustum-shaped shear keys on the axial end face of the double-walled hollow segment as the circular shear key groove.

[0014] The ratio of the diameter of the upper circular surface to the diameter of the bottom circular section of the frustum-shaped shear key is not less than 1 / 4 and not greater than 1; the frustum-shaped shear key is a frustum-shaped concrete shear key with a lower base radius greater than the upper base radius, and the lower base surface is integrated with the concrete interlayer between the steel pipe and the GFRP pipe; the lower base diameter of the frustum-shaped shear key is 1 / 4 to 3 / 4 of the thickness of the concrete interlayer between the steel pipe and the GFRP pipe.

[0015] The prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier of this utility model has a GFRP pipe with a thickness of 1 / 50 of its own inner diameter, and the fibers inside the pipe are wound in the circumferential direction at an angle of ±80° with the vertical direction; the inner diameter of the steel pipe is 7 / 10 of the GFRP pipe, and the thickness of the steel pipe is 1 / 14 of the inner diameter.

[0016] The prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier of this utility model has a hollow cross-section that is circular, rectangular, or elliptical.

[0017] The prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier of this utility model uses fiber-reinforced composite material tendons or steel strands as prestressing tendons.

[0018] Beneficial effects

[0019] The prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier provided by this utility model divides the pier body into several segments along the longitudinal direction for modular prefabrication. During construction, the prefabricated segments only need to be assembled and combined into a whole by tensioning prestressing tendons. This significantly reduces the on-site formwork, pouring and curing work, improves construction efficiency, shortens the construction cycle of the entire bridge pier, and is less affected by seasons and climate. It also reduces interference with existing traffic near the bridge site and reduces adverse impacts on surrounding residents and the ecological environment.

[0020] The prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier provided by this utility model adopts a GFRP pipe-concrete-steel pipe double-walled hollow structure. GFRP pipe has the characteristics of being lightweight and high-strength, with a circumferential tensile strength of over 1000MPa and a density of only about 1 / 4 that of steel. This allows the structure to significantly save materials and reduce its own weight while maintaining high load-bearing capacity.

[0021] GFRP pipes possess both excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, effectively protecting the internal concrete and steel pipes from the corrosive effects of harsh external environments, and significantly extending the service life of the structure.

[0037] Preferably, the prestressing tendon 5 can be made of fiber-reinforced composite material or steel strand.

[0038] This utility model also discloses a construction method for a prefabricated segmental double-walled hollow bridge pier containing prestressed tendons, comprising the following steps:

[0039] S1. Prefabricate the cap beam 2 and double-walled hollow segments 3 in the factory. Position the inner steel pipe 8 and the outer GFRP pipe 9, ensuring that the centers of their cross-sections coincide. Pour concrete inside to create the double-walled hollow segments.

[0040] S2. Construct foundation 10 on site, reserve prestressed tendon connection channel 12 and construct frustum-shaped shear key 7; prestressed tendon 5 passes through prestressed tendon channel 12 on foundation and is fixed in the reserved channel of foundation 10 by prestressed anchor 1.

[0041] S3. Assemble the double-walled hollow segment 3 and the cap beam 2 on site. Use the adhesive bonding method to assemble them sequentially from bottom to top.

[0042] S4. After passing the prestressed tendon 5 through the prestressed tendon channel 12 reserved in the cap beam 2, the prestressed tendon 5 is tensioned by post-tensioning and anchored in the cap beam 2 to form an integral structure.
