AI Technical Summary
In existing technologies, bridge piers are prone to defects such as voids, exposed reinforcement, and pitting when subjected to impacts from riverbed gravel and pebbles. Furthermore, the protection methods are prone to cracking or increase construction costs and time.
The structure employs a protective steel plate structure, an anchor key structure, and an energy dissipation structure. Buffer material is filled between the protective steel plate and the pier column. The energy dissipation structure protrudes from the outside of the steel plate, and the anchor key is connected to the inside of the pier column through a PBL key and a welded ring hoop, forming a stable protective structure.
It improves the impact resistance and overall stability of bridge piers, reduces construction costs and time, and effectively absorbs the impact energy of gravel and pebbles, protecting the piers from damage.
