Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bridge construction technology, and in particular to a high-performance, low-cost triangular truss Bailey bridge. Background Technology

[0002] Bailey bridge panels, also known as Bailey trusses, Bailey beams, or trusses, were first invented during World War II by a British engineer to address the need for rapid bridge erection during the war, and were named after him. They can be used in highway bridges, as assembly gantry cranes, guide beams, bridge erecting machines, and suspended platforms. Bailey truss combination gantry cranes utilize prefabricated highway steel bridge components to assemble the gantry frame, and their span and column height are adjustable to adapt to different work sites. They are widely used in highway, railway, municipal, building, and water conservancy construction projects, as well as in bridge construction prefabrication yards for lifting and moving prefabricated components and transporting large beams beside bridge piers.

[0003] The most widely circulated standard trusses in the market are the 321-type standard truss and the 200-row standard truss. In traditional construction methods, when using pier-beam type scaffolding for temporary supports in cast-in-place structure construction, steel sections, Bailey bridges, and military-grade beams are mostly used as the main load-bearing beams, with Bailey bridges being the most widely used. Due to the limitations of Bailey bridge structural dimensions and materials, the economical span of the main load-bearing beam as a temporary construction support is generally 12-15 m. At this span, the support structure has reasonable stress distribution, and the material usage and safety margin are moderate. Under special working conditions, when the support span exceeds 18 m, controlling the deflection of the support at this span becomes difficult, leading to the cast-in-place structure's alignment failing to meet design requirements. With the continuous improvement of transportation infrastructure, more and more bridges are being built in special environments. Taking a 30-meter span with a load of 80 tons as an example: if no pier is set in the middle of the span and a single-span temporary support is used, the Bailey beam needs to be arranged with a 200-type three-row reinforced structure to meet the construction requirements, and the number of high-shear Bailey panels at the beginning and end of the Bailey truss needs to be replaced by high-shear Bailey panels, which is generally 1 / 3 of the total number of sections. Even so, the temporary support has problems such as large material consumption and large deflection. Utility Model Content
