The invention discloses a method for reinforcing an old
masonry arch bridge by using
weathering-resistant steel arches, which comprises the following steps of: reinforcing the bottom of a main arch bar of the old
masonry arch bridge by using a plurality of
weathering-resistant steel arches, and anchoring a
weathering-resistant steel support in an enlarged section
pier and a foundation of the main arch by using a rigid arch foot, the weathering-resistant steel arch is connected with the old masonry main arch through anchor bolts to form a combined arch ring which is jointly stressed, so that a weathering-resistant steel arch reinforcing structure of the old
masonry arch bridge is realized; a pressure glue injection method is adopted for repairing cracks existing in the original arch slab, and after a high-
ductility concrete layer is painted at the connecting position of the bottom of the original arch slab and the weather-resistant steel arch, pin key anchor bolts are implanted; transverse connecting profile steel is arranged between the multiple sectionally-formed weathering-resistant steel arches to form a weathering-resistant
steel frame-arch structure
stress system. And the
weathering steel arches and the original masonry main arch plates are tightly connected and cooperatively reinforced through pin keys and high-
pressure grouting. Compared with a common steel arch reinforced masonry
arch bridge, the material and construction cost of anti-
corrosion measures can be effectively reduced, the reinforcing construction period is shortened, and the cost and time of later anti-
corrosion maintenance are saved.
