Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model specifically relates to a joint connection structure for steel-concrete composite bridges and the bridge itself. Background Technology

[0002] Steel-concrete composite bridges are a type of high-performance bridge structure. Compared to reinforced concrete beams, they reduce structural weight, decrease seismic loads, reduce cross-sectional dimensions, increase usable space, save on formwork and installation, shorten construction time, and increase beam ductility. Compared to steel beams, they reduce steel consumption, increase stiffness, enhance stability and overall integrity, and improve fire resistance and durability. Combining the advantages of both steel and concrete structures, they represent one of the main development directions for future structural systems.

[0003] Steel-concrete composite bridges incorporate the concept of "breaking down the whole into parts and then integrating them into a whole," decomposing the bridge structure into individual prefabricated units in factories. These prefabricated units are then transported to the bridge site and assembled. The characteristics of steel-concrete composite bridges make them suitable not only for open, flat plains but also for rugged mountainous and canyonous terrain. While the quality of the factory-prefabricated units within the composite beam is well-assured, the assembly of these units is affected by uncertainties such as weather, construction conditions, and the skill level of the workers, making it difficult to guarantee construction quality. Furthermore, the assembly of these units is a crucial factor determining the bridge's construction schedule. Ensuring high-quality and rapid construction of the assembled structure of steel-concrete composite bridges is a highly significant engineering undertaking.

[0004] Wet joints are a critical structural element in connecting precast bridge decks, and they are also the areas most prone to quality problems and cracking. Based on currently operational steel-concrete composite bridges, cracking, water seepage, and aging at wet joints are very common phenomena. Utility Model Content

[0005] The primary objective of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies and provide a simple, stable, and reliable steel-concrete composite bridge joint connection structure.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A steel-concrete composite bridge joint connection structure includes precast bridge decks and steel beams. The precast bridge decks are placed on the steel beams, and a transverse wet joint and a longitudinal wet joint are formed between two adjacent precast bridge decks. The precast bridge decks have a protruding structure on one side of the longitudinal wet joint, so that the two sides of the longitudinal wet joint form a chamfered structure.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the cross-section of the protruding structure is a right-angled trapezoid.

[0009] In one preferred embodiment, the precast bridge deck is placed longitudinally on the steel beam.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the edge of the precast bridge deck on the longitudinal wet joint side is provided with toothed protrusions to enhance the integrity of the bridge deck.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the precast bridge deck is made of concrete with a compressive strength greater than 80 MPa, a creep coefficient of 0.2 to 0.3, an axial compressive strength greater than 7 MPa, and an ultimate tensile strength greater than 5 MPa.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the reinforcing bars at the joints of the transverse wet joint and the longitudinal wet joint are connected by steel sleeves to increase the joint strength.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, the longitudinal wet joint is located at the top of the steel main beam.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment, the transverse wet joint is set on a pre-embedded steel plate. The main steel beam is a longitudinal I-beam, and the longitudinal wet joint is laid on the main steel beam. The wet joint can be cast using the main steel beam as a template, while the transverse wet joint is cast using a precast steel plate as the bottom template.

[0015] The second objective of this utility model is to provide a steel-concrete composite bridge, which includes the aforementioned joint connection structure.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, a single precast bridge deck panel spans the transition pier at the mid-support of the bridge, ensuring that the mid-support of the bridge lies within the panel section of the precast bridge deck panel. This arrangement allows the transverse joints to avoid negative bending moment peaks, reducing stress at the transverse joints in the first system.

[0017] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] (1) By setting a protruding structure at the longitudinal wet joint of the precast bridge deck, the chamfer at the longitudinal wet joint becomes higher, reducing the stress at the joint under the action of the wheels, and effectively reducing the occurrence of joint defects in steel-concrete composite beams.

[0019] (2) The precast bridge deck is made of high-performance concrete and has a toothed structure on both sides to enhance the overall integrity of the bridge deck;

[0020] (3) The steel reinforcement at the joints of the precast bridge deck is connected with steel sleeves to increase the joint strength;

[0021] (4) The continuous beam design concept is adopted, with no prestress and no drop beam. The bridge deck is under tension near the middle support, and its stress form is different from the commonly used cable-stayed system and large-span continuous box girder system. The connection structure fully utilizes the high performance of the bridge deck structure and does not have longitudinal prestress, which is conducive to reducing the thickness of the bridge deck.

[0036] Longitudinal wet joint 5 is arranged on the top of steel main beam 9, transverse wet joint 4 is set on embedded steel plate 11, and end crossbeam 14 is below the wet joint at the groove. Steel main beam 9 is the main load-bearing structure in steel beam, and end crossbeam 14 is a steel beam set at the end.
