[0026] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other. For ease of description, the terms "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" appearing below only indicate that they correspond to the upper, lower, left, and right directions in the accompanying drawings and do not limit the structure.
[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a cantilevered tower crane foundation structure including a cantilevered platform 21, a tower crane foundation 18 disposed on the cantilevered platform 21, and two first steel pipe piles 1 and two second steel pipe piles 22 connected to the lower end of the cantilevered platform 21. The first steel pipe piles 1 are disposed at one end of the cantilevered platform 21 in the length direction X (close to the tower crane foundation 18) and are spaced apart in the width direction Y. The second steel pipe piles 22 are disposed at the other end of the cantilevered platform 21 in the length direction (away from the tower crane foundation 18) and are spaced apart in the width direction Y.
[0028] The first steel pipe pile 1 and the second steel pipe pile 22 are both made of Q235B grade steel. The positions of the four steel pipe piles (including two first steel pipe piles 1 and two second steel pipe piles 22) are arranged according to the spacing of the tower crane foundation 18. The depth of the steel pipe piles driven into the riverbed is determined based on the site geological conditions and calculations. One end of the cantilever platform 21 is connected to the first steel pipe pile 1 and the second steel pipe pile 22, and the other end extends outwards, with the tower crane foundation 18 installed at the upper end of the cantilever. The cantilever length of the cantilever platform 21 needs to be determined based on the site space.
[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, the cantilever platform 21 includes two steel beams 11 spaced apart in the width direction Y and a steel beam connecting system 16 connected between the two steel beams 11 by welding. The steel beam connecting system 16 is located near the tower crane foundation 18 (e.g., Figure 1 (As shown). The cantilever platform 21 can be a prefabricated structure, assembled, welded, drilled, and surface-treated for corrosion protection in the factory, and then assembled on site. The steel beams 11 and the steel beam connection system 16 should be confirmed by finite element stress analysis based on parameters such as the model and weight of the tower crane to be installed, to determine their steel material and specifications. Figure 1 The steel beam 11 is an I-beam, with multiple stiffening plates 19 connecting its web and flanges. These stiffening plates 19 are respectively positioned close to the first steel pipe pile 1 and the second steel pipe pile 22. The steel beam connection system 16 can be made of I-beams or channel steel.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the lower end of the second steel pipe pile 22 is filled with concrete 3. Vertically upward-extending tie rods 2 are pre-embedded in the concrete 3. During construction, the tie rods 2 are installed using a pre-embedded method and then poured into the concrete 3 to form a unified structure. The grade of the concrete 3 is not less than C30, and the pouring depth of the concrete 3 needs to be determined by calculation. A set of anchor plates 6 and nuts 7 are connected to the end of the tie rod 2 that extends into the concrete 3. Both the first steel pipe pile 1 and the second steel pipe pile 22 are equipped with a pile top steel plate 9. The thickness of the pile top steel plate 9 is generally 20mm. The cantilever platform 21 is placed on the pile top steel plate 9 and fixed by bolts 10. The bolts 10 are high-strength bolts. An anchor beam 20 is connected between the upper ends of the two steel beams 11. The anchor beam 20 coincides with the pile position of the second steel pipe pile 22. The anchor beam 20 can be made of I-beams or channel steel. The vertically extending tie rod 2 passes through the steel beam 11 and the anchor beam 20, and is then fixed in sequence by another set of anchor plates 6 and nuts 7, thus forming a whole that can share part of the vertical force on the cantilever end of the cantilever platform. The tie rod 2 is made of precision-rolled threaded steel, and its model needs to be determined by calculation. Its installation must be vertical to improve the bearing capacity of the second steel pipe pile 22 at the stress node.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3As shown, the first steel pipe pile 1 is filled with sand 4, which can improve the bearing capacity of the first steel pipe pile 1 at the stress node. The cantilever platform 21 extends horizontally from the first steel pipe pile 1 to the outside, and the tower crane foundation 18 is set at the upper end of the cantilever platform 21 on the outside.
[0032] The pile top steel plate 9 extends horizontally to the outside of the corresponding connected steel pipe pile, and multiple connecting plates 8 connect the steel pipe pile and the pile top steel plate 9. Multiple inter-pile connection systems 5 connect the first steel pipe pile 1 and the second steel pipe pile 22. For example... Figures 1-4 As shown, the pile connection system 5 is horizontally connected in the X and Y directions, and also diagonally connected.
[0033] like Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, a diagonal brace 12 connects the first steel pipe pile 1 to the cantilever platform 21. A connecting steel plate 13 connects the diagonal brace 12 to the first steel pipe pile 1. A bolt 14 vertically connects the cantilever platform 21, the tower crane foundation 18, and the diagonal brace 12. The bolt 14 is a high-strength bolt, a double-ended bolt. Its upper end is fixed to the steel beam 11 and the tower crane foundation 18 by a steel pad 17 and a nut. The lower end of the bolt 14, located on the diagonal brace 12, is fixed to the diagonal brace 12 by a wedge block 15 and a nut. The wedge block 15 abuts against the diagonal brace 12. The lower end of the bolt 14, not located at the diagonal brace 12, is fixed to the steel beam 11 by a steel pad 17 and a nut. A safety pin is inserted into the lower end of the bolt 14, which abuts against the lower surface of the nut to prevent the nut from falling off.
[0034] The construction method for the cantilevered tower crane foundation structure provided by this utility model includes the following steps:
[0035] S1, four spiral steel pipe piles with a diameter of 800mm (including the first steel pipe pile 1 and the second steel pipe pile 22) are arranged in a rectangle with a spacing of 3000×1440mm between the piles. When entering the rock, an impact drill is used to guide the hole. The first steel pipe pile 1 and the second steel pipe pile 22 also serve as casings. The depth of each steel pipe pile into the riverbed is not less than 8m.
[0036] S2, remove the sediment inside each steel pipe pile, install A32 precision rolled threaded steel tie rod 2 inside the second steel pipe pile 22, the verticality deviation of the tie rod 2 installation is less than 1% of the tie rod length, and install anchor plate 6 and nut 7 at the lower end of tie rod 2;
[0037] S3, pour C30 underwater concrete 3 into the second steel pipe pile 22, with a pouring height of 5m, and pour sand 4 into the first steel pipe pile 1 up to the top of the pile.
[0038] S4. Weld a 20mm thick pile top steel plate 9 to the top of each steel pipe pile. Weld a gusset plate 8 every 10cm around the steel pipe pile. Open four bolt holes with a diameter of 20mm and a tie rod hole with a diameter of 40mm on the pile top steel plate 9.
[0039] S5, cantilever platform 21 is prefabricated in the factory. The platform steel beam 11 adopts a three-section I45a, and the steel beam connection system 16 adopts I20a, which is temporarily fixed to the pile top steel plate 9 by M16 high-strength bolts 10;
[0040] S6, use a jack to tension the tie rod 2 to 150KN, install the anchor plate 6 on the upper end of the tie rod 2, and then anchor it to the anchor beam 20 with a nut 7;
[0041] S7, the diagonal brace 12 of the I-beam 45a is fully welded to the steel beam 11 and the first steel pipe pile 1, and the steel plate 13 is used to reinforce the node;
[0042] S8. Install the tower crane foundation section, adjust the wedge block 15, ensure that the verticality deviation of the tower base screw 14 is less than 1%, and tighten the nut to complete the fixing.
[0043] This utility model, through the use of precision-rolled threaded steel tie rods and diagonal braces, makes it more feasible to prevent overturning of cantilever tower crane foundations in limited spaces. Furthermore, the modular tower crane foundation structure is easy to install and disassemble, can be reused, and saves costs.
