Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction technology, and more specifically, to a crack-resistant structure for bridges. Background Technology
[0002] Existing research on key technologies for cantilever construction control of main span steel box girders typically requires the use of finite element method (FEM) software to establish a finite element model of the cable-stayed bridge. Taking the Yinghe Grand Bridge project of the Xuzhou-Huaibei-Fuyang Expressway undertaken by the applicant as an example, this paper uses FEM software to establish a full-bridge model and a construction stage model of the Yinghe Grand Bridge. A construction calculation model is then established in the FEM software to obtain the elevation of the beam and the changes in cable tension during construction. This allows for the exploration of how to effectively improve the cantilever assembly accuracy of the steel box girder during construction and to take measures to avoid large displacements during the cantilever assembly process, ensuring the smooth closure of the bridge. The analysis reveals that during the cantilever construction stage, the accumulated building materials, formwork, and cranes on the bridge deck may generate unbalanced lateral loads on the main girder, causing lateral torsional deformation and potentially leading to cracking at the box girder joints. Therefore, improving the torsional strength of the box girder and preventing cracking at the box girder joints is the technical problem this invention aims to solve. Utility Model Content

This utility model description section is not intended to limit the key features and essential technical features of the claimed technical solution, nor is it intended to determine the scope of protection of the claimed technical solution.
[0004] To at least partially solve the above problems, this utility model provides a crack-resistant structure for bridges, comprising: a reinforcing plate, and an anchor bar assembly disposed on the reinforcing plate, wherein the reinforcing plate is connected to the reinforcing bars on the box girder through the anchor bar assembly, and at least one torsional protrusion is formed on the reinforcing plate, the torsional protrusion being parallel to the joint between the two box girders.

[0028] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.
[0029] It should be understood that terms such as “having,” “comprising,” and “including” as used herein do not exclude the presence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.
[0030] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a crack-resistant structure for bridges, including: a reinforcing plate 1, and an anchor bar assembly disposed on the reinforcing plate 1. The reinforcing plate 1 is connected to the reinforcing bars on the box girder through the anchor bar assembly. After the reinforcing plate 1 is connected to the reinforcing bars of the box girder, formwork can be supported, and then concrete can be poured. At least one anti-torsional protrusion 2 is formed on the reinforcing plate 1. The anti-torsional protrusion 2 is parallel to the joint of the two box girders. The anti-torsional protrusion 2 can effectively increase the deformation resistance at the joint, thereby avoiding lateral torsional deformation of the box girder caused by unbalanced bridge deck load, and thus preventing cracking at the joint.
[0031] Furthermore, the anti-torsional protrusion 2 extends in a direction away from the bottom surface of the reinforcing plate 1, such as... Figure 1 As shown. The anti-torsional protrusion 2 can be formed by bending the reinforcing plate 1 through processes such as cold bending, thereby allowing a groove to be formed on the top surface of the reinforcing plate 1 at the anti-torsional protrusion 2, such as... Figure 1 As shown, this allows the anti-torsional protrusion 2 to exist as an integral part of the reinforcing plate 1. The reinforcing plate 1 is typically made of high-strength steel. During concrete pouring, the concrete within the groove can form shear blocks.
[0032] Furthermore, the anti-torsional protrusion 2 has a V-shaped cross-section, with its opening facing upwards towards the reinforcing plate 1. The reinforcing plate 1 extends from the opening of the anti-torsional protrusion 2 towards the box beams on both sides. Typically, there are two anti-torsional protrusions 2, and they are arranged in parallel, resulting in a W-shaped cross-section for each protrusion. Figure 1 As shown, this enables the crack-resistant structure to have a certain tensile strength when compressed or stretched.
[0033] The anchor bar assembly consists of a first bar 3 arranged vertically and a second bar 4 arranged horizontally. The first bar 3 is disposed on the top surface of the reinforcing plate 1 and within the groove of the anti-torsional protrusion 2. The second bar 4 is disposed on the top surface of the reinforcing plate 1 and alternates with the first bar 3. The direction of the second bar 4 is perpendicular to the joint between the two box girders, such as... Figure 1 As shown.
[0034] Taking the setting of two anti-torsion protrusions 2 as an example, the first rib 3 on the reinforcing plate 1 located between the two anti-torsion protrusions 2 is usually only set on the top surface of the reinforcing plate 1. The first rib 3 on the reinforcing plate 1 located near the box girder usually penetrates the reinforcing plate 1. When pouring concrete, the area between the bottom surface of the reinforcing plate 1 and the two anti-torsion protrusions 2 is not poured with concrete. The reinforcing plate 1 is used as the bottom plate of the joint. As a result, the area between the bottom surface of the reinforcing plate 1 and the two anti-torsion protrusions 2, as well as the outer bottom surface of the anti-torsion protrusions 2, will not be covered with concrete, thereby improving the tensile strength of the crack-resistant structure.
[0035] Furthermore, it also includes a reinforcing box 5 disposed at the end of the reinforcing plate 1; the reinforcing box 5 is provided with a third rib 6, and the reinforcing box 5 is connected to the reinforcing bars on the box beam through the third rib 6. The reinforcing box 5 is composed of a top plate 51, a bottom plate 52 and several first ribs 53. The bottom surface of the top plate 51 is connected to the top surface of the bottom plate 52 through the first ribs 53. The first ribs 53 are used to connect the top plate 51 and the bottom plate 52 into one unit, and the first ribs 53 are parallel to the joint, thereby further improving the torsional strength and reducing the risk of cracking. The third ribs 6 are parallel to the top plate 51 and the bottom plate 52, and the third ribs 6 penetrate through the first ribs 53. When pouring concrete, micro-expansion cement needs to be poured into the interior of the reinforcing box 5 to reduce the impact of concrete shrinkage. Therefore, when the number of first ribs 53 is greater than one, the first ribs 53 are provided with connecting holes to ensure that the concrete can fill the reinforcing box 5. Typically, a plurality of second stiffening plates 54 are provided on the bottom surface of the top plate 51 and the top surface of the bottom plate 52, and the second stiffening plates 54 are parallel to the first stiffening plates 53.
[0036] When the second stiffener 54 is provided on the bottom surface of the top plate 51, the second stiffener 54 extends from the bottom surface of the top plate 51 toward the bottom plate 52 and leaves a first distance between it and the top surface of the bottom plate 52.
[0037] When the second stiffener 54 is provided on the top surface of the base plate 52, the second stiffener 54 extends from the top surface of the base plate 52 toward the top plate 51 and leaves a second distance between it and the bottom surface of the top plate 51.
[0038] Typically, the second stiffening plate 54 of the top plate 51 and the second stiffening plate 54 of the bottom plate 52 are arranged opposite each other, such as Figure 7 As shown, the distance between the two opposing second stiffening plates 54 is not less than the diameter of the connecting hole, so as to facilitate the flow of concrete.
