The invention belongs to the technical field of sail-shaped cable-stayed bridge construction, and relates to a long and thin structure arched steel
tower installation method which comprises the steps that a bridge lower structure and a main
tower are constructed, and an auxiliary
tower root embedded section, a top connecting piece and related construction components are embedded in the main tower; during main tower construction, an attached tower fixing section and a main beam are synchronously installed, and the attached tower fixing section is fixedly connected with the main tower through
welding and a steel truss set; a support is erected on a
girder bridge floor, tower-attached sections are assembled according to the inverted arch posture, the pre-bias value and the pre-camber are preset, and rotating hinges are installed; a vertical rotating cable, a back cable and a cable wind cable which are made of steel strands are arranged, and testing is completed; one-time vertical rotation
welding of one section of the attached tower is achieved through synchronous traction of a continuous jack, and then secondary vertical rotation is conducted on the whole section of the attached tower; after vertically rotating in place,
welding and fixing, and dismounting related equipment and a bracket; the invention aims to solve the problems of high overhead operation risk, difficulty in control of construction precision, large temporary support investment, low work efficiency and insufficient adaptability of a traditional mounting method.
