Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pedestrian bridge construction technology, and in particular to an arc-shaped triangular ring steel truss pedestrian bridge. Background Technology

[0002] According to bridge specifications, water conservancy specifications, and land planning requirements, newly built pedestrian bridges across rivers must be smoothly connected to the riverside walkways on both sides of the bridgehead to meet the requirements of pedestrians crossing the river and connecting the two banks. When building a new bridge in a river with navigation requirements, it must also meet the clearance requirements for ships to navigate under the bridge. In addition, pedestrian bridges must also meet the requirements of economy, safety, stability, and durability.

[0003] To meet the requirements of strength, stiffness, and building height, existing traditional steel truss pedestrian bridges require large cross-sectional dimensions and thicknesses for their members, resulting in a large overall structural weight.

[0004] Therefore, how to reduce the thickness of members to lower the structural self-weight and reduce the foundation load while meeting the requirements of strength, stiffness and navigation, and how to ensure structural stiffness and improve crossing potential by optimizing the cross-sectional shape have become technical problems that urgently need to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned deficiencies of the prior art, this utility model provides an arc-shaped triangular ring steel truss pedestrian bridge. The purpose is to reduce the thickness of the members to reduce the self-weight of the structure and reduce the foundation load while meeting the requirements of strength, stiffness and navigation. The structural stiffness is ensured by optimizing the cross-sectional shape, and the span potential is improved.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses an arc-shaped triangular ring steel truss pedestrian bridge, including a load-bearing part, which is a hollow arc-shaped box truss structure composed of several triangles.

[0007] The load-bearing part is symmetrical about the central axis and the center line of the span of the bridge. Its cross-section is a Reuleaux triangle with rounded corners. It includes two parallel and arc-shaped lower chords and an upper chord that is parallel to the two lower chords and is arc-shaped.

[0008] The two lower chord members have several corresponding lower chord member nodes evenly distributed along their length.

[0009] Each pair of corresponding lower chord nodes on the two lower chords is provided with a lower parallel connection, forming several grid structures between the two lower chords;

[0010] Each of the aforementioned grid structures is provided with a cross-shaped lower parallel connection that connects to the four interior corners;

[0011] The upper chord is provided with upper chord nodes at positions equidistant from each of the four lower chord nodes in every two groups;

[0012] Each of the upper chord nodes is connected to the four lower chord nodes that are closest to it and at the same distance through a web member.

[0013] Preferably, a bridge deck system is provided on all the lower parallel sections of the two lower chords.

[0014] Preferably, the upper chord, all upper chord nodes, all lower chords, all lower chord nodes, all web members, all lower parallel members, and the bridge deck system are all steel structures.

[0015] Preferably, the lower parallel sections at both ends of the bearing portion are all supported on the end abutments by spherical bearings, and the lower parallel sections at the middle of the span are all supported on the piers and abutments by V-shaped piers.

[0016] More preferably, each of the end abutments and each of the piers is provided with a number of pile foundations.

[0017] More preferably, each of the V-shaped piers is a steel-concrete composite structure; each of the end abutments, each of the piers and abutments, and each of the pile foundations are reinforced concrete structures.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0019] This invention, while meeting traffic and navigation requirements, employs a combination of triangular and circular truss arrangements to significantly improve structural stiffness and stability. This reduces the cross-sectional dimensions and thickness of the members, lowers the structural self-weight, and lessens the foundation load. The reduced structural self-weight decreases inertial forces, improving seismic performance, and the curved cross-section reduces wind resistance. Combined with the truss's permeability, it suppresses vortex-induced vibrations.

[0020] The following will further explain the concept, specific structure and technical effects of this utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, so as to fully understand the purpose, features and effects of this utility model. Attached Figure Description
