Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of municipal engineering technology, and in particular to a rotatable steel support hinge structure. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, foundation pit construction has become a very common scenario in urban construction, such as the excavation of basements for high-rise buildings, the excavation of municipal direct-buried pipelines, the excavation of underground integrated pipe corridors, and the excavation of bridge pier foundations. To ensure the safety of foundation pit excavation, retaining measures are required for foundation pits exceeding a certain depth. The most commonly used retaining system is the internal support structure. The main force transmission path of this system is: external soil and water pressure → retaining piles → capping beam / waler → support balance. Among these, the setting of the support is crucial. Steel supports, with their core advantages such as quick construction, green and low-carbon operation, recyclability, and controllable axial force, have become one of the mainstream support solutions for current foundation pit engineering. Generally, steel supports intersect perpendicularly with the walers. However, at foundation pit corners, irregularly shaped areas of the foundation pit, and inclined supports, the steel supports form a certain angle with the walers. In such cases, the dimensions of the support ends, anchor plates, stiffening ribs, etc., need to be cut according to the specific angle on site, which not only affects the construction period but also significantly reduces the recycling value of the steel components.
