Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of building construction technology, specifically to a bridge prestressing tensioning operation platform suitable for confined space operations. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, most bridge prestressed tensioning platforms use hanging baskets as carriers. Through a movable hanging basket system, they serve as aerial work platforms to achieve symmetrical cantilever casting or assembly of the main beam of the bridge. They are suitable for complex scenarios such as crossing deep valleys, rivers, and main traffic lines where it is impossible to erect scaffolding, and have become bridge types such as cable-stayed bridges and continuous rigid frame bridges.
[0003] While existing technologies offer technological advantages, their application still faces constraints imposed by spatial conditions. In space-constrained construction environments, such as densely populated urban areas, narrow valleys, or near existing buildings, the large size and mobility requirements of the hanging basket system can become critical obstacles. Hanging baskets are typically composed of heavy steel components, and their main trusses and formwork systems require sufficient lateral and longitudinal space. In confined areas, insufficient space for installation, movement, and operation can significantly reduce construction efficiency or even prevent implementation. For example, when crossing existing railways or highways, a safety clearance must be reserved below the hanging basket. However, limitations imposed by existing structures or passage height force the hanging basket design to compress vertical space, potentially sacrificing structural rigidity or requiring additional support measures, thereby increasing construction costs. Furthermore, in the construction of curved bridges or variable cross-section beam segments, the hanging basket's formwork adjustment system must frequently adapt to changes in spatial form. If the working surface is narrow, the flexibility of worker operation and machinery movement is limited, easily leading to construction errors or safety hazards. For multi-span continuous bridges, the turnover and positioning of the hanging basket in narrow spans are equally complex, requiring repeated disassembly and reassembly, further slowing down the construction period.
[0004] Existing technology discloses a formwork system for cantilever casting of continuous beams, employing a diamond-shaped formwork. It mainly consists of a load-bearing system, a suspension system, a formwork system, a bottom basket system, an anchoring system, a traveling system, and a safety protection system. This effective system combination reduces manual intervention and improves the accuracy of simultaneous construction from both ends of the continuous beam, ensuring safe construction and linear shaping of the bridge deck. However, it has two drawbacks: first, the structure is too complex, making it unsuitable for areas with limited end space, especially in areas with narrow working surfaces; second, due to its large size, it is only suitable for large bridges and cannot meet the prestressing tensioning requirements of medium and small-span bridges.
