Abstract

Concrete bridge towers are widely used in long-span bridges. Aiming at the reinforcement process which requires the largest labor force and has the highest safety risk during the construction of the super high concrete bridge tower. The key technology of assembling design and construction of super high concrete bridge tower reinforcement characterized by “industrialized production of mesh, rapid section forming and on-site assembling installation” is creatively proposed. In terms of design, the three-dimensional bridge tower reinforcement is discretized into planar or 3D mesh. In order to facilitate the reinforcement segment, a new flush lapping is used for the circumferential connection of stirrup, and the tapered sleeve splicing is used for the connection of the reinforcement parts between the segments, and the reliability of the connection is verified by experiments. In terms of construction, industrial assembly lines are used for the production of steel mesh and overall bending forming. The bridge tower reinforcement segments are assembled on the special jig, and finally installed on the tower by the tower crane. At present, this technology has been successfully applied to projects such as Lingdingyang Bridge, reducing labor intensity, improving construction efficiency by 30%, and ensuring project quality.
