Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge pier construction technology, and in particular to a UHPC construction template and a construction mechanism for marine bridge piers. Background Technology
[0002] Harbor piers are exposed to harsh marine environments, suffering from seawater erosion, freeze-thaw cycles, and even ship collisions, leading to structural degradation and reduced durability. Traditional reinforcement methods have many drawbacks; for example, ordinary concrete reinforcement is ineffective against the complex marine environment, and some reinforcement materials involve complex construction processes, long construction periods, high costs, and significant disturbance to the original structure. Ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC), with its high strength, high durability, and high impermeability, is gaining attention in the field of harbor pier reinforcement. However, when using UHPC for reinforcement, suitable formwork is needed to ensure the quality of UHPC casting and construction efficiency. Currently, there is a lack of efficient and reliable formwork and construction methods specifically designed for UHPC reinforcement of harbor piers.
[0003] To address the aforementioned technical problems, existing technologies, such as the UHPC construction device for reinforcing offshore bridge piers disclosed in patent application number CN202210454564.7, relate to the field of bridge pier construction technology. This device includes two first splicing templates, with second splicing modules on both sides of each template. Limiting sliding columns are installed on the surfaces of both the first and second splicing templates. A first moving groove is formed inside the first splicing template, and a first moving template is slidably connected within this groove. Similarly, a second moving groove is formed inside the second splicing module, and a second moving template is slidably connected within this groove. Adjustment grooves and adjustment slots are formed on the surfaces of both the first and second splicing templates. This technical solution has the advantages of enabling offshore bridge pier reinforcement work and improving the strength of reinforced and repaired offshore bridge piers.
[0004] However, the above technical solutions still have technical drawbacks: they have many moving parts, are more complicated to operate, and may increase the failure rate and maintenance costs; the entire set of equipment uses steel structures, which are costly and heavy, requiring special lifting equipment and increasing the difficulty of offshore operations.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2As shown, the UHPC construction template according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a template sleeve 100 and steel connectors 200 connected to both ends of the template sleeve 100. The template sleeve 100 includes an inner fiberglass sleeve 110 and an outer protective sleeve 120 connected sequentially from the inside to the outside. A plurality of first stiffening ribs 111 are spaced apart on the outer wall of the inner fiberglass sleeve 110. The outer protective sleeve 120 has clearance positions 121 corresponding to the first stiffening ribs 111. The steel connectors 200 include a web plate 210 and an inner wing plate 220 and an outer wing plate 230 respectively connected to both sides of the web plate 210. The inner wing plate 220 is sealed to the inner fiberglass sleeve 110.
[0029] In practical use, the first stiffening rib 111 enhances the compressive strength of the inner fiberglass sleeve 110, while the outer protective sleeve 120 protects the inner fiberglass sleeve 110 from mechanical damage during construction. Furthermore, the steel connector 200 connects and reinforces the splice joints of the fiberglass sleeves with steel structures, which effectively reduces construction difficulty and cost.
[0030] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the first stiffening ribs 111 are evenly spaced along the circumferential direction of the inner fiberglass sleeve 110.
[0031] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the cross-sectional shape of the first stiffening rib 111 is trapezoidal.
[0032] Specifically, the inner fiberglass sleeve 110 is made of high-strength fiberglass fabric and high-performance resin through a winding process, possessing excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. First stiffening ribs 111 are uniformly arranged circumferentially on the outer surface of the inner fiberglass sleeve 110. These first stiffening ribs 111 are integrally molded from the same fiberglass fabric and high-performance resin as the inner fiberglass sleeve 110, and have a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, significantly improving the compressive strength of the inner fiberglass sleeve 110. The spacing between adjacent first stiffening ribs 111 is determined based on the casting pressure of UHPC. The outer protective sleeve 120 is made of rubber, possessing a certain degree of flexibility and wear resistance, used to protect the inner fiberglass sleeve 110 from mechanical damage during construction.
[0033] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: a second stiffening rib 211 is connected to the web plate 210.
[0034] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: the second stiffening rib 211 is a ring structure and is connected around the web plate 210.

The other end of the first bolt 312 passes through the through hole of the first notch 113, the second notch 221 and the limiting seat 320 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the limiting seat 320 by the first nut 313. The rubber sleeve 311 is hollow and is sleeved on the part of the first bolt 312 located in the first notch 113 and the second notch 221.
[0038] Through the above design, the rubber sleeve 311 can fill the gap between the first bolt 312 and the first notch 113 and the second notch 221, thereby improving the shear resistance of the first bolt 312. The presence of the limiting seat 320 can cover the second notch 221, so that it is not necessary to use a large-size nut with a small-size bolt, thereby achieving an effective connection between the steel connector 200 and the inner fiberglass sleeve 110.
[0039] According to a second aspect of the present invention, a marine bridge pier construction mechanism includes multiple UHPC construction templates, which are connected end to end along the length direction.

[0041] By using the concave-convex matching setting, two UHPC construction templates can be quickly positioned and connected, improving construction efficiency.
[0042] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, it may also have the following additional technical features: an expansion strip (not shown in the figure) is sealed between two adjacent outer wing plates 230 and between the inner wing plate 220 and the inner corrugated sleeve, thereby achieving the effect of sealing connection.

The threaded portion of the second bolt 331 passes through two corresponding third notches 231 in sequence and is threadedly connected to the second nut 332 located on the other outer flange 230, thereby fixing the two steel connectors 200.
[0045] It should be noted that, for ease of construction, the inner fiberglass sleeve 110, the outer protective sleeve 120, and the steel connector 200 can all be processed into structures that are easy to assemble, such as two semi-cylindrical structures, etc., according to actual needs. There are no restrictions here. At the same time, expansion strips are set at the splicing points for sealing connection.
[0046] Construction method:
[0047] Preparation: Clean the surface of the harbor piers to remove oil, loose concrete, rust, etc., exposing a solid base layer. Based on the pier dimensions and reinforcement requirements, customize appropriate specifications of inner fiberglass sleeves 110 and steel connectors 200 to form the UHPC construction template.
[0048] Template Installation: The inner fiberglass sleeve 110 and the outer protective sleeve 120 are sequentially fitted onto the pier. The templates are then assembled into a complete cylindrical structure, i.e., the offshore bridge pier construction mechanism, using steel structure connections at the joints. The offshore bridge pier construction mechanism is then fixed to the pier, and its verticality and horizontality are adjusted. During installation, ensure a secure connection between the steel structure and the fiberglass sleeve, and that the expansion strips used for sealing are properly applied.
[0049] Underwater Non-Dispersible Polymer (UHPC) Casting: A casting port is set at the top of the offshore bridge pier construction structure. Underwater non-dispersible polymer (UHPC) is cast from the bottom of the offshore bridge pier construction structure upwards into the gap between the inner fiberglass sleeve 110 and the pier through pumping or other casting methods. The casting speed is strictly controlled during the casting process to ensure the UHPC is dense.
[0050] Curing and formwork removal: Curing is carried out after the pouring is completed. The curing time is determined according to the performance requirements of UHPC. After the curing period, the outer protective sleeve 120, the inner fiberglass sleeve 110, and the steel connector 200 are removed in sequence.
