Temporary Anchoring Technology of Tower and Beam for Cable-stayed Bridge with Single Column Tower and Split Steel Box Girder
Gaolangang Bridge is a single column tower and split steel box girder cable-stayed bridge,which adopts a fully floating constraint system.The bridge is located in the subtropical monsoon zone,where is severely affected by tropical cyclones and typhoons.To ensure the smooth cantilever assembly of the steel box girder,a reasonable and effective temporary anchorage structure for the tower and beam needs to be set up.A full bridge construction stage analysis model is established using MIDAS Civil software,and the temporary anchoring reaction force of tower and beam under the most unfavorable working conditions is calculated.A reasonable construction plan for temporary anchoring of tower and beam is discussed,and the timing for dismantling vertical temporary anchoring is analyzed.The results show that activating the vertical temporary anchorage after the second tensioning of the No.1 cable is beneficial for the structural stress,and the longitudinal and lateral temporary anchorage allows for slight vertical displacement of the tower and beam,ensuring a clear force transmission path for the temporary anchorage structure.Vertical and longitudinal temporary anchoring structures fully utilize the performance of steel,while lateral temporary anchoring structures fully utilize the performance of concrete.The removal of vertical temporary anchoring after the removal of the cable gantry crane and before the removal of the beam crane is beneficial for reducing the safety risk of system transition.The temporary anchoring scheme between tower and beam can provide reference for similar projects.
