[0033] Example 1
[0034] This embodiment provides a repurposed two-wave beam steel guardrail, including a support structure and a protective structure. A plurality of the support structures are installed on the road surface along the highway direction, and the protective structure is installed on the plurality of support structures along the highway direction.
[0035] The protective structure is bolted to the supporting structure for easy disassembly.
[0036] The support structure includes the support structure for the median strip guardrail and the support structure for the side guardrails. The support structure for the median strip is an inverted U-shaped structure with both ends extending into the road surface for installation. The two sides of the guardrail are connected by an arched structure to improve the impact resistance of the guardrail and enhance its protective effect.
[0037] The side guardrail is supported by a single post 1 that extends into the road surface.
[0038] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the outer side of the support structure is provided with the protective structure. The protective structure includes an M-shaped two-wave plate 3 and at least one row of crossbeams 4. The crossbeams 4 are parallel to the M-shaped two-wave plate 3 and are located above the M-shaped two-wave plate 3.
[0039] The guardrail consists of several unit segments, each segment being 12 meters long, including three M-shaped two-wave plates 3 and two crossbeams 4, with a spacing of 2 meters between each support structure.
[0040] Brackets are provided between the crossbeam 4 and the M-shaped two-wave plate 3 and the supporting structure. The brackets are used to buffer the impact when the guardrail is hit. The brackets are hollow tubular structures. When a vehicle hits the M-shaped two-wave plate 3 and the crossbeam 4 on the guardrail, the hollow tubular brackets deform to buffer the impact force on the guardrail.
[0041] The supporting structure is fixed to the asphalt or concrete pavement using high-strength anchor bolts. The anchor bolts are installed using a rebar anchoring method, with the rebar strength not less than 20-25 MPa. The anchoring depth of the anchor bolts during construction meets the following requirements: 420mm for asphalt pavement and 180mm for concrete pavement.
[0042] Example 2
[0043] This embodiment provides a reused two-wave beam steel guardrail based on Embodiment 1. The protective structure includes several M-shaped two-wave plates 3 spliced end to end and several crossbeams 4 spliced end to end. The length of the M-shaped two-wave plates 3 is 4 meters and the length of the crossbeams 4 is 6 meters. Each unit segment of the protective structure includes three M-shaped two-wave plates 3 and two crossbeams 4. The M-shaped two-wave plates 3 and the crossbeams 4 are arranged parallel to each other vertically. The M-shaped two-wave plates 3 are located above the crossbeams 4. Multiple rows of crossbeams 4 can be designed according to the actual situation.
[0044] like Figure 4 , Figure 6 As shown, the cross-section of the beam 4 is rectangular, and the beam 4 is fixedly installed on the column 1 by bolts. The M-shaped two-wave plate 3 is fixedly installed on the column 1 by bolts.
[0045] The support structure includes two posts 1 and two U-shaped tubes 2. The two posts 1 are respectively connected to both ends of the U-shaped tubes 2, and the other ends of the two posts 1 extend into the road surface for installation. For guardrails at both edges of the highway, the support structure includes one post 1, and the protective structure is installed on the side of the post 1 closest to the highway.
[0046] The column 1 is also equipped with a reinforcing plate 9. The reinforcing plates 9 on the two columns 1 are arranged face to face. When installing the column 1, the reinforcing plate 9 is set below the road surface to improve the installation reliability of the column 1.
[0047] like Figure 6 , Figure 7As shown, the U-shaped tube 2 has end tubes 8 at both ends. The diameter of the end tubes 8 is smaller than the diameter of the middle part of the U-shaped tube 2. The column 1 is a tubular structure. When the U-shaped tube 2 is installed on the column 1, the end tubes 8 at both ends of the U-shaped tube 2 are placed in the inner cavity of the column 1 and then fixed by bolts. The inner cavity diameter of the column 1 is the same as the diameter of the middle part of the U-shaped tube 2. At the same time, the end tubes 8 are smaller than the inner cavity of the column 1. The connection of the end tubes 8 at both ends of the U-shaped tube 2 forms a platform, which facilitates the placement of the U-shaped tube 2 during installation. Then it is fixed by bolts.
[0048] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, a reinforcing rod 5 is also provided on the U-shaped tube 2, and the two ends of the reinforcing rod 5 are fixedly connected to the opening of the U-shaped tube 2 by bolts. Due to the modification of the original guardrail, the U-shaped tube 2 installed on the old post 1 is longer, and the U-shaped tube 2 installed on the new post 1 is shorter. Therefore, the reinforcing rods 5 on the two different U-shaped tubes 2 are in different positions, and the reinforcing rods 5 on the guardrail are distributed vertically in a staggered manner.
[0049] In some embodiments, the crossbeam 4 is connected to the supporting structure via a trapezoidal bracket 6, and the M-shaped two-wave plate 3 is connected to the supporting structure via a rectangular bracket 7. The trapezoidal bracket 6 is a hollow tubular structure with a trapezoidal cross-section and openings at the top and bottom, and the rectangular bracket 7 is a hollow tubular structure with a rectangular cross-section and openings at the top and bottom. When the guardrail is hit by a vehicle, the hollow trapezoidal bracket 6 and rectangular bracket 7 can effectively withstand the impact force through deformation, thus providing a cushioning effect.
[0050] The long side of the trapezoidal bracket 6 is bolted to the U-shaped tube 2 or the column 1, and the short side is bolted to the crossbeam 4.
[0051] The entire structure of the guardrail is made of Q235D steel and is hot-dip galvanized. The galvanization amount on the main components of the guardrail, namely the post 1, the beam 4, the U-shaped tube 2 and the M-shaped two-wave plate 3, is not less than 600g / m, and the galvanization amount on other components is not less than 350g / m.
[0052] Each guardrail unit is an independent unit, and the M-shaped two-wave plates 3 between the units are connected by bolts. Each unit is 6 meters long, and the length of the protected area is adjusted by changing the number of guardrail units.
[0053] In some embodiments, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, for the median strip in the center of the highway, the support structure includes two posts 1 and a U-shaped pipe 2. One end of each post 1 is connected to both ends of the U-shaped pipe 2, and the other end of each post 1 extends into the road surface for installation. For the guardrails at both edges of the highway, the support structure includes one post 1, and a protective structure is installed on the side of the post 1 closest to the highway.
[0054] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the two columns 1 installed on a U-shaped tube 2 are spaced 1378mm apart, the two horizontal support structures are spaced 2000mm apart, the column 1 extends 1460mm into the road surface, the road surface is 600mm above the midpoint of the M-shaped two-wave plate 3, and the ground is 1400mm above the highest beam 4.
[0055] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, existing highway guardrails can be modified to the guardrail provided in this embodiment without damaging the original structure. Specifically, for median guardrails on highways, two rows of posts 1 are spaced apart, and M-shaped two-wave plates 3 are installed on the posts 1. U-shaped tubes 2 are added between the two posts 1 in the two rows, and new posts 1 are added between two adjacent posts 1 in each row, so that the interval between two adjacent posts 1 in a row is 2 meters. The height of the newly added posts 1 is higher than that of the old posts 1. Therefore, the height of the U-shaped tubes 2 on the new posts 1 is less than that of the U-shaped tubes 2 installed on the old posts 1, so that the height of the guardrail support structure is consistent. After the U-shaped tubes 2 are installed on the old posts 1, two crossbeams 4 are installed on the posts 1. Both crossbeams 4 are located on the U-shaped tubes 2. After the U-shaped tubes 2 are installed on the new posts 1, one crossbeam 4 is located on the new posts 1, and the other crossbeam 4 is located on the U-shaped tubes 2. The crossbeams 4 on the new posts 1 are located at the connection between the U-shaped tubes 2 and the posts 1.
[0056] In other embodiments, such as Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, for the side guardrail on the highway, a new post 1 is added between two old posts 1. The original M-shaped two-wave plate 3 is removed and reinstalled. The new post 1 is bolted to the original M-shaped two-wave plate 3 to reduce the distance between the posts 1. After adding the new post 1, the distance between the two posts 1 is 2 meters. A crossbeam 4 is installed on the post 1, parallel to and above the M-shaped two-wave plate 3. Since the height of the old post 1 is insufficient to install the crossbeam 4, a splicing pipe section is installed on the old post 1. The splicing pipe is bolted to the end of the old post 1, and a trapezoidal bracket 6 is bolted to the splicing pipe. The crossbeam 4 is bolted to the trapezoidal bracket 6.
[0057] For side railings, such as Figure 9 As shown, the distance between the two columns is 2 meters, the length of the column extending into the ground is 1460mm, the height of the ground from the center of the M-shaped two-wave plate 3 is 600mm, and the distance of the ground from the crossbeam is 1100mm.
[0058] like Figure 1 , Figure 8As shown, for the renovation of the old highway guardrail, the reinforcing plate 9 is installed on the new post between the old posts. Therefore, the reinforcing plate 9 is arranged at intervals on the post 1 in the entire guardrail device. The reinforcing plate 9 can improve the reliability of the post 1, thereby improving the reliability of the entire guardrail.
[0059] Modifying existing guardrails simply involves removing and reinstalling the original M-shaped two-wave plate 3, increasing the guardrail's protective capacity without damaging the original structure. This effectively solves the problem of existing road surfaces not being able to be optimized after guardrail installation.
[0060] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
