This invention provides a large-span
swing bridge structure and construction method based on a self-anchored suspension structure. The structure includes: a main bridge body, comprising a first
pier, a main
tower, and a first beam, the first beam being fixed to the top of the first
pier; first suspension cable assemblies symmetrically arranged on both sides of the main
tower, one end of each suspension cable
assembly being fixed to the top of the main
tower; and a swing
system, comprising a
pier cap, an upper turntable, and a lower turntable, the lower turntable being fixed to the top of the pier cap, the upper turntable being located above the lower turntable, the first pier being fixed to the top of the upper turntable, and a rotating
assembly installed between the upper and lower turntables. The method includes:
casting the lower turntable in place, constructing an annular slide, and placing spherical hinge supports;
casting the upper turntable in place, fixing jack reaction seats, and placing support legs; completing the construction of the first pier, main tower, and first beam, arranging the first main cable, and tensioning the first suspender; and rotating the main bridge structure to the corresponding position. This invention is applicable to the construction of swing bridges of various spans, especially large spans.
