Description



CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0001] This application claims the benefit of priority from Chinese Patent Application No. 201910774803.5, filed on Aug. 21, 2019. The content of the aforementioned application, including any intervening amendments thereto, is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application relates to bridge beam construction, and more particularly to a construction method for a cantilever beam on a central pier.

BACKGROUND

[0003] There are two methods for constructing a capping beam in the prior art. One is to support the capping beam by building full space supports via steel pipes, and the other is to reserve holes in a pier to pass through steel rods, so as to support the capping beam. The former method requires a lot of manpower to build steel pipe scaffolds, which consumes time and a large number of steel pipes, greatly increasing the construction cost. The latter method reserves the holes in the pier to pass through the steel rods, and these holes are required to be repaired after the construction of the capping beam is completed, which not only affects the appearance of the pier, but also increases the construction processes. These existing construction methods no longer meet the appearance and quality requirements of the newly designed bridges.

[0004] Chinese Patent Application Publication No. 102261042 A discloses an inclined cantilever support for pouring a pier capping beam, where the full space supports built by the steel pipes are not involved, which can reduce the manpower and steel pipe support materials consumption. However, it is not convenient to move the inclined cantilever support during the use, reducing the turnover rate of the inclined cantilever support.

A wheeled stand support used in the present application has a high turnover rate and it is easy and convenient to dismantle and assemble the wheeled stand support, so as to ensure the construction period requirement and the construction safety and improve the utilization ratio of the materials, being time-consuming and labor-saving. A height of the cantilever beam mold can be adjusted by the hydraulic cylinder, benefiting the construction of the cantilever beam.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS

[0045] The technical solutions of the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the embodiments disclosed herein are merely illustrative, and are not intended to limit the present application. Any other embodiments made by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present application without sparing any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of the present application.

[0046] The present application provides a construction method for a cantilever beam on a central pier. As shown in FIGS. 1-8, there is shown a cantilever beam 1. A bottom end of the cantilever beam 1 is installed in a pier groove 6 which is provided on a pier-top 2. A bottom of the pier-top 2 is installed on a top of a bridge pier 3. A bottom of the bridge pier 3 is installed on an upper end surface of a rectangular bearing platform 4. Four cast-in-place bored piles 5 are provided on a lower end surface of the rectangular bearing platform 4. Two blocks 7 are symmetrically provided on both sides of an upper end surface of the cantilever beam 1.

[0047] The pier-top 2 and the bridge pier 3 are integrally poured and formed using C50 concrete. The rectangular bearing platform 4 is poured and formed using C35 concrete. The four cast-in-place bored piles 5 are poured and formed using C30 underwater concrete.

[0048] The construction method for the cantilever beam on the central pier includes the following steps.

[0049] 1) Scaled models of the cantilever beam on the central pier are established. The scaled models are tested. The cantilever beam 1 can be constructed when a test result of the scaled model reaches a given threshold. A 1:4 scaled model having an upper structure with a span length of 30 m is tested in the first test, and a 1:4 scaled model having an upper structure with a span length of 35 m is tested in the second test.

[0050] S1) Control sections of the scaled model are selected. On-site loading is applied at the control sections of the scaled model under normal conditions and overload conditions. The control sections of the scaled model are set as Ai, i=1, 2 . . . n. The scaled model is tested for the first time.

[0051] FIGS. 7-8 show the on-site loading applied at the control sections of the scaled model under normal conditions and overload conditions. It can be seen that there is no crack at A-A and C-C of the control sections of the scaled model. After the on-site loading continues to be applied, the cantilever beam breaks prior to the bridge pier. The fissure of the damaged section is close to a root of the cantilever beam. Load combinations on the scaled model under various use conditions in the first test are shown in Table 1. Safety factors and overload factors of the cantilever beam and the bridge pier are shown in Table 2.

TABLE-US-00001 TABLE 1 Load combinations on the scaled model under various use conditions in the first test Use Condition Type Load combinations Normal conditions Case 1: constant load + first-classed road (No. 4 lane) Case 2: constant load + first-classed road (No. 3 lane) + two heavy vehicles with 120 t (No. 1 lane on the outermost side) + wind-induced load Case 3: constant load + first-classed road (No. 2 lane next to the outermost side) + two heavy vehicles with 120 t (No. 1 lane on the outermost side) + wind-induced load Case 4: constant load + first-classed road (No. 1 lane next to the outermost side) + two heavy vehicles with 120 t (No. 1 lane on the outermost side) + wind-induced load Case 5: constant load + first-classed road (No. 3 lane) + 3.4 times first-classed road (No. 1 lane next to the outermost side) + wind-induced load Overload conditions Case 1: constant load + first-classed road (No. 2 lane next to the outermost side) + two heavy vehicles with 120 t (No. 1 lane on the outermost side) + wind-induced load Case 2: constant load + first-classed road (No. 2 lane next to the outermost side) + two heavy vehicles with 120 t (No. 2 lane on the outermost side) + wind-induced load Case 3: constant load + first-classed road (No. 2 lane next to the outermost side) + two heavy vehicles with 120 t (No. 2 lane on the outermost side) + wind-induced load

[0052] S2) Bending moments at Ai of the scaled model are acquired by a motion detector. A bending moment at Ai of the scaled model before applying the on-site loading is set as M.sub.0. A bending moment at Ai of the scaled model when the scaled model breaks is set as M.sub.p. A bending moment at Ai of the scaled model under maximum normal conditions is set as M.sub.1. A bending moment at Ai under maximum overload conditions is set as M.sub.2.

[0053] S3) A first safety factor K.sub.1 at Ai of the scaled model under the maximum normal conditions is calculated according to

K 1 = M P M 1 . ##EQU00005##

[0054] S4) A first overload factor P.sub.1 at Ai of the scaled model under the maximum normal conditions is calculated according to

P 1 = M P - M 0 M 1 - M 0 ; ##EQU00006##

[0055] S5) A second safety factor K.sub.2 at Ai of the scaled model under the maximum overload conditions is calculated according to

K 2 = M P M 2 ; ##EQU00007##

[0056] S6) A second overload factor P.sub.2 at Ai of the scaled model under the maximum overload conditions is calculated according to

P 2 = M P - M 0 M 2 - M 0 ; ##EQU00008##

[0057] S7) Pictures of the scaled model at Ai of the scaled model are acquired by an acquisition device and the number of cracks in the pictures is identified. When all of the first safety factor, the second safety factor, the first overload factor and the second overload factor are within a preset threshold range and there are no cracks, the cantilever beam can be constructed.

[0058] The cantilever beam and the bridge pier are in an elastic state in the processes of prestress tension and applying the weight, i.e., in the construction process. The cantilever beam and the bridge pier under predetermined overload conditions are basically in an elastic state and no cracks are found, indicating the structure of the cantilever beam and the bridge pier has the good mechanical performance.

[0059] Operating conditions that can cause damage reach when load is gradually enlarged based on maximum axial force conditions of the bridge pier. Load is gradually applied at loading points marked as 2, 2', 1 and 1'. Finally, when load reaches 1200 kN at the loading points marked as 2 and 2' and load reaches 700 kN at the loading points marked as 1 and 1', the concrete collapses at the junction of a lower edge of the cantilever beam and a top of the pier-top, indicating the structure is damaged. Through the tests, the normal conditions and the carrying capacity of the cantilever beam are designed and verified.

[0060] A second test is performed on the scaled model.

[0061] Compared to the first test, the second test only adjusts the size of the cantilever beam and changes a three-fold line at a bottom of the cantilever beam into a double-fold line. As shown in FIGS. 5-6, the cantilever beam breaks prior to the bridge pier, and the damaged section is located at the lower edge of the cantilever beam.

[0062] Safety factors of control sections of the cantilever beam are shown in Table 4.

[0063] The cantilever beam and the bridge pier are in an elastic state in the processes of prestress tension and applying weight, i.e., in the construction process.

[0064] When the load is gradually applied until the case 5 of the overload conditions reaches, there are cracks appeared in the bridge pier. When the load increases until the cases 6 and 7 of the overload conditions reach, the cracks merge in the horizontal direction. The merged crack is enlarged in length and width, for example, a maximum width of the merged crack is 0.14 mm, at this time, the structure is not damaged.

[0065] Under the operating conditions that cause damage, load reaches 240 kN at the loading point marked as 1, and load reaches 660 kN at the loading point marked as 2. The concrete at the pier groove of the pier-top collapses, indicating the structure is damaged. A maximum vertical displacement of the cantilever beam is 31 cm, and a maximum horizontal displacement of the pier-top is 5.91 mm. After being disassembled, cantilever beam has a maximum vertical residual deformation of 24 cm.

[0066] Through these tests, it is concluded that the structure meets the design requirements.
