The application claims priority to Chinese patent application No. 202210331861.2, filed on Mar. 30, 2022, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present disclosure relates to the technical field of bridge engineering, and particularly relates to a composite box girder structure made of an inner core and a box enclosure, and a construction method therefor.
The prestressed concrete box girder bridge has been globally used because it is rapid to construct and high in economic performance. But the prestressed concrete box girder bridge with a larger span is faced with technical problems such as main span deflection, girder cracking and excessive self-weight. Traditional concrete is heavy in self-weight and low in strength, so the girder body made of such concrete tends to have a high risk of cracking under loads. Bearing capability of the bridge structure is mainly used to overcome its self-weight. Therefore, the conventional prestressed concrete box girder bridge cannot have a span greater than 300 m. Long-span prestressed concrete box girder bridges are prone to cracking and excessive mid-span deflection problems because of serious shrinkage and creeping of the normal concrete. Experts and scholars throughout the world prevent excessive deflection of the main span by setting a pre-camber and increasing prestressing tendons appropriately, and prevent cracking of web plates by applying vertical prestressing tendons. Further, they can reduce self-weight of the structure by using lightweight concrete or steel structure, so as to improve force on the structure. However, these methods can hardly fundamentally solve the above technical problems. In view of this, a composite box girder structure based on ultra-high performance concrete is expected to solve the above technical problems and enhance the spanning capability of the box girder bridge to a 500 m level.
The patent (ZL 201110345089.1) provides a prestressed ultra-high performance concrete continuous box girder structure based on ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC). However, the continuous box girder structure is internally provided with dense ultra-high performance concrete diaphragms, and the internal template of the box girder is blocked and disconnected by the diaphragms. Such arrangement makes the box girder construction process complicated. Moreover, ultra-high performance concrete diaphragms are likely to suffer from defects during pouring, which will influence the behavior of the whole structure. Therefore, an existing prestressed concrete continuous box girder bridge is structurally innovated by using light and strong ultra-high performance concrete. In this way, material performance is brought into full play, and construction problems are solved. Further, structural technical barriers can be fundamentally broken, the bridge technology level can be improved, rapid bridge construction can be achieved.
The present disclosure provides a composite box girder structure and a construction method therefor, so as to solve technical problems of low effective bearing capacity of the box girder structure, a complicated internal template erection and demolition process and limited spanning capability during existing bridge engineering.
To solve the above technical problems, the present disclosure employs the following technical solutions.
A composite box girder structure includes a box enclosure and an inner core, where the inner core includes a thin-walled steel shell and shear connectors, and the thin-walled steel shell is attached and fixed to an interior of the box enclosure by means of the shear connectors.
The design idea of the technical solution is to form the box girder structure by combining the box enclosure and the inner core, such that the box enclosure and the inner core can jointly load force, and effective bearing capability of the structure is improved. In addition, the inner core has high strength, such that the thickness of the box enclosure can be reduced, the self-weight of the structure can be further reduced to prevent an excessive bending moment generated by the self-weight of the structure from influencing the bearing effect of the bridge, and further the span of the box girder bridge can be improved. Meanwhile, the inner core can be used as an internal template during pouring of the box enclosure, such that the manufacturing process of the composite box girder structure of the present disclosure is simplified, and production cost is reduced.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the inner core further includes diaphragms, and the diaphragms are fixed to inner side of the thin-walled steel shell in a cross-sectional direction of the inner core. The diaphragms at the inner side of the thin-walled steel shell and the thin-walled steel shell are integrated to jointly load force, such that stability of the inner core and bearing capability of the entire box girder structure are improved, problems of excessive transverse local stress, overall stability, cross-section distortion and shear bearing capacity of web plates of the ultra-high performance concrete thin-walled box girder can be comprehensively solved, and meanwhile, three-way prestressing tendons set by the traditional prestressed concrete box girder bridge can be changed into longitudinal one-way prestressing tendons.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the plurality of diaphragms are arranged at the inner side of the thin-walled steel shell in the longitudinal bridge direction, and an interval between every two adjacent diaphragms is 2 m-10 m.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the plurality of diaphragms are connected by several external prestressing tendons. The external prestressing tendons effectively connect the plurality of diaphragms of the box girder structure and diaphragms of different box girder segments, such that the box girder structure may jointly load force, so as to position and improve rigidity and bearing capability of an entire system.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the diaphragms are made of weathering resistant steel, and the diaphragms have a thickness of 0.008 m-0.020 m.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the thin-walled steel shell is made of weathering resistant steel, and the thin-walled steel shell has a thickness of 0.008 m-0.020 m.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the square-shaped thin-walled steel shell completely covers the inner surface of the box enclosure and is attached and fixed to it. Alternatively, the n-shaped thin-walled steel shell partially covers the inner surface of the box enclosure and is attached and fixed to it. Since design spans and loading forms of bridges are different, structural shapes of the inner cores may be different accordingly. When the span of the bridge is large and bearing capability is required to be high, a box structure with a square-shaped thin-walled steel shell completely covers and supports the inner surface of the box enclosure. When the span of the bridge is small and bearing capability is required to be low, the thin-walled steel shell may only support and cover a direct force area in the upper half part of the inner surface of a box enclosure. In this way, production cost is reduced, and excess and waste of performance are avoided.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the shear connectors are several stud connectors, and the stud connectors have a diameter of 0.01 m-0.02 m and a height of 0.03 m-0.15 m; and the interval between the adjacent stud connectors is 0.15 m-0.40 m.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the box enclosure is composed of ultra-high performance concrete plates, and the box enclosure includes ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) bridge deck, UHPC web plate, and UHPC bottom plate. The UHPC bridge deck has a thickness of 0.15 m-0.30 m, the UHPC web plate has a thickness of 0.10 m-0.60 m, and the UHPC bottom plate has a thickness of 0.15 m-1.50 m. The inner core and ultra-high performance concrete may be jointly used to significantly reduce the geometric size of the member, reduce the self-weight of the structure, improve effectiveness of the structure in resisting the use load, and enhance spanning capability of the bridge structure.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the inner core, the diaphragms, the UHPC bridge deck, the UHPC web plate and the UHPC bottom plate are all made of thin plates.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the ultra-high performance concrete is reactive powder concrete or ultra-high performance fiber reinforced concrete having a compressive strength not smaller than 100 MPa.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the UHPC bridge deck is in a shape of a flat plate or a one-way longitudinal rib plate. In the medium and small span bridge, the shape of the flat plate may be considered to be used. The larger the span is, the more obvious the longitudinal force effect of a main girder is. Compared with the rectangular flat plate, the bottom of the one-way longitudinal rib plate is partially hollowed out such that (1) internal prestressing tendons can be conveniently arranged; and (2) the bending moment of inertia is higher under the same cross-sectional area, and further the self-weight of the bridge deck can be significantly reduced.
More preferably, in the technical solution, the box enclosure is internally provided with the internal prestressing tendons in the longitudinal bridge direction, and alternatively, the box enclosure is internally provided with no prestressing tendons in the longitudinal bridge direction.
Based on the same technical concept, the present disclosure further provides a construction method for the above composite box girder structure. The construction method includes:
More preferably, in the technical solution, in S3, when the box enclosure is formed through pouring, the inner core is used as an internal template.
