Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of main beam cross-section structure, specifically to a main beam cross-section structure for a long-span, low-tower cable-stayed bridge. Background Technology
[0002] Prestressed concrete continuous rigid frame bridges are widely used in long-span bridges due to their mechanical and economic advantages, as well as the development of cantilever construction technology. Currently, their application in high-speed railway long-span continuous beam bridges is increasing. The construction methods for long-span, low-tower cable-stayed bridges mainly include the horizontal rotation method, the scaffolding casting method, the cantilever assembly method, and the cantilever casting method. Among these, the horizontal rotation method requires the construction of special ball joints and upper and lower turntables, as well as rotation construction and turntable sealing work, resulting in a long construction period and making it unsuitable for the rapid construction of long-span high-speed railway three-line cable-stayed bridges in complex construction environments. The scaffolding casting method, for the construction of high-pier continuous rigid frame bridges in mountainous areas, requires the erection of high scaffolds during cast-in-place construction, leading to increased construction costs and technical difficulties.
[0003] In the specification of a main beam structure for a long-span, low-tower cable-stayed bridge (publication number CN115341450A), it is mentioned that "the main beam is set along the extension direction of the low-tower cable-stayed bridge, the main beam structure includes a main bridge pier on a ground foundation, the main bridge pier is used to support the main beam, the main beam structure also includes a support casting section, a cantilever casting section and a support system, the support system is set on the outer periphery of the main bridge pier and below the support casting section to form support for the support casting section; the cantilever casting section extends from both sides of the support casting section toward the extension direction of the low-tower cable-stayed bridge, the low tower extends upward from the center of the main beam, and a stay cable is provided between the low tower and each beam segment of the cantilever casting section." However, the connection of the central part of the main beam structure in the prior art is not accurate or tight enough, and the tensile strength and bending resistance of its pier body are insufficient. This may lead to the generation and development of cracks when the bridge encounters sudden external forces, and it is not safe and durable in the long run. Utility Model Content
[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, a main beam section structure for a long-span, low-tower cable-stayed bridge is provided. This addresses the issues of insufficient accuracy and tightness in the central connection of the main beam structure in existing technologies, as well as the inadequate tensile and bending strength of the piers. These shortcomings may lead to crack formation and development when the bridge encounters sudden external forces, resulting in a lack of long-term safety and durability.

[0009] Furthermore, the upper left and right sides of the inner reinforcing rib structure are provided with top frames, and multiple sets of vertical connecting ribs are vertically fixed inside the top frames, and two sets of side ribs are fixed on the lower end face of the top frames.

[0016] 3. The internal reinforcing rib structure of the bridge pier in this utility model not only effectively resists tensile stresses and prevents bridge structure fracture due to its high tensile strength, but also significantly improves the bending resistance of the bridge structure, making the bridge more robust under stress. It helps the bridge absorb energy through deformation when encountering sudden external forces, reducing structural damage. It can also improve the seismic performance of the bridge, making it more resistant to earthquakes, preventing the generation and development of cracks, and extending the service life of the bridge.
