This invention discloses a prefabricated portal
pier cap beam, belonging to the field of
bridge engineering technology. It solves the problems of traditional cap beams, such as
heavy weight, high precision requirements during construction and installation, high difficulty, and significant
impact on existing
road traffic during on-site construction. The invention includes a cap beam body erected within connecting slots on both sides of the
pier columns. The connecting slots are adapted to the cap beam body, which is U-shaped. A top plate is connected to the cap beam body, and rubber supports are installed within the connecting slots. The cap beam body is erected on top of the rubber supports. Construction method: First, the piers are poured, rubber supports are installed, then the cap beam body is erected, the top plate is installed and concrete is poured for fixation, then post-tensioned prestressed tendons are tensioned, and finally concrete is poured to fix the
pier columns and cap beam body, and bridge limiters are installed. This invention features a simple construction method, employing a large number of prefabricated and cast-in-place joints, effectively reducing the construction period, minimizing
impact on existing traffic, reducing construction difficulty, eliminating the need for alignment of the sleeve reinforcement during hoisting, and enabling rapid installation.
