The superstructure is erected by the assembly method. In order to ensure the precise installation and control of internal forces for steel girders and bridge deck slabs of composite beams while also considering the construction efficiency of composite beams, a control method for the installation and erection of the superstructure has been proposed. This method is based on optimizing the internal force and geometric states of segments throughout the entire process, achieved by establishing finite element calculation models for both the full bridge and segmented sections and combining these with comparative studies of on-site monitoring data. With the installation stress and precision of composite beams properly controlled, construction efficiency has been enhanced through the optimization of the pouring process for wet joints between steel girders and concrete bridge deck slabs, as well as the tensioning process for stay cables. The equivalent tension method is applied to the tension process of the stay cable, thus ensuring the uniformity of the cable force of the steel strand. The relevant conclusions are applicable to the same type of composite girder cable-stayed bridge erection construction. Reference Related Cited by
