Study on the water filling test of the steel aqueduct in the main canal of the Pi River
To test the structural safety and construction quality of the steel aqueduct in the main canal of the Pi River,and to provide technical support for the safe operation and project acceptance during the later water conveyance phase,a water filling test was conducted on the aqueduct.The tests first need to reasonably determine the maximum water depth for filling,then load and unload the water in stages,monitor the stress-strain and structural dynamic characteristics of the main section of the steel aqueduct in real time,observe the leakage situation,analyze the working performance of the supports and expansion joints,and inspect and evaluate the overall quality of the steel aqueduct.The results of the water filling test indicate that the steel aque-duct structure,expansion joints,and supports of the Pi River main channel meet the design requirements.The research results can provide reference for similar engineering construction.
