Definitions

  • the present invention relates to bridges in general, and more particularly to an improved method and means for erecting multispan bridges. Still more particularly, the invention relates to erection of bridges whose spans consist of sections, preferably of sections made of reinforced or prestressed concrete.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide a method of the just outlined characteristics according to which the spans may be assembled and mounted on their supports without necessitating the provision of a staging which extends from the one to the other end of the bridge, and according to which the spans may be assembled without necessitating the erection of temporary piers, abutments and similar supports.
  • a further object of the invention is to provide a method of erecting multispan cantilever bridges which may be practiced with equal advantage when the spans are assembled of prefabricated sections or when the spans consist of sections which are poured or otherwise built at the locale of actual use.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide a method according to which the spans may be assembled in such sequence that the entire superstructure of the bridge may be completed within exceptionally short periods of time and which may be practiced with the help of simple, lightweight and easy-to-handle temporary staging.
  • a concomitant object of the invention is to provide improved means or arrangements, including a staging, for practicing the novel method and to construct the staging in such a way that it may facilitate delivery of construction materials to the point or points of use.
  • Still another object of the invention is to provide a staging which allows for simultaneous construction of two spans to thereby reduce the time necessary for completion of the superstructure in a multispan bridge, and whose length need not substantially exceed the length of the longest span so that such staging may be readily shifted to to different positions as the construction of the superstructure proceeds.
  • An additional object of the invention is to provide a staging which may be used in cooperation with the supports of a partially erected bridge to facilitate rapid, convenient and economical completion of the spans.
  • Still another object of our invention is to provide a novel bridge erecting arrangement including a staging which may be mounted above, below or at the level of the spans and which enables the crew to assemble the sections with utmost precision.
  • each span preferably consists of a plurality of sections made of reinforced or prestressed concrete and arranged end-to-end.
  • the method comprises the steps of building a support intermediate the ends of the bridge to be erected, mounting on the support an elongated temporary staging in such a way that the staging forms a cantilever whose arms extend from the support toward 3,29%,ifil Patented Jan. 17, 1967 both ends of the bridge whereby the staging enables the crew to work in the fields at the opposite sides of the sup port, and assembling portions of two spans in a simultaneous operation by working on the staging from the support in directions toward the respective ends of the bridge.
  • the bridge may be erected in the following manner: The crew erects at least two spaced supports at least one of which constitutes a pier and is located intermediate the ends of the bridge to be erected. In the next step, the crew assembles a portion of a first span by joining a plurality of sections in a direction from the other support toward the pier so that the thus completed portion of the first span bridges a portion of the field between the pier and the other support.
  • the staging is then mounted on the pier in such a way that one of its arms bridges the gap between the pier and the completed portion of the first span whereas its other arm extends beyond the pier in a direction away from the other support so that the staging enables the crew to work in the fields at the opposite sides of the pier.
  • the crew completes the first span by working on the staging from the pier toward the other support and simultaneously assembles a portion of a second span by working on the staging from the pier in a direction away from the other support.
  • the crew shifts the staging endwise so that it is supported by the additional pier and that one of its arms bridges the gap between the additional pier and the completed portion of the second span whereas the other arm of the staging extends from the additional pier in a direction away from the first mentioned pier.
  • the staging is now in a position to enable the crew to complete the second span by working from the additional pier toward the completed portion of the second span to simul' taneously complete at least a portion of a third span by working from the additional pier in a direction away from the second span.
  • the bridge comprises one or more supports between the additional pier and the respective end thereof, i.e., the staging is shifted endwise onto each consecutive support and the crew works in directions from each consecutive support toward the ends of the bridge so that portions of two spans may be assembled in a simultaneous operation. It is also possible to work with two stagings so that the superstructure is erected from both ends of the bridge.
  • FIG. 1 is a schematic elevational view of a partially completed cantilever bridge which is erected in accordance with the method of our invention
  • FIG. 2 is a similar elevational view and illustrates the bridge in a further stage of completion
  • FIG. 3 is another elevational view and shows the bridge in a third stage of completion.
  • FIG. 1 there is shown a partially erected bridge which comprises a plurality of spaced supports including a centrally located pier 2 and two outer piers 1, 3.
  • the bridge comprises four spans 8, 13, 17, 34 and its abutments (not shown in the drawings) are respectively located to the left and to the right of the supports 1 and 3.
  • the expression support is intended to denote a pier or an abutment.
  • the bridge of FIG. 1 is erected as follows: In the first step, the crew erects the abutments and the supports 1, 2 and 3. In the next step, sections 4, 5, 6 are mounted at the upper ends of the respective supports.
  • the sections 4, 5, 6 consist of reinforced or prestressed concrete and may be produced in situ, i.e., in concrete casings or forms at the locale of use.
  • the manner in which the sections may be poured and secured in position is illustrated in the right-hand part of FIG. 1.
  • the support 3 carries at its upper end a temporary cantilever platform 7 which enables the crew to pour the section 6 and to locate it at the upper end of the support 3.
  • the span 8 between the support 1 and the left-hand abutment is already completed, and this span consists of a series of concrete sections 40, 4b, 4c assembled end-to-end and extending to the left of the section 4. It is further to be noted that the crew has completed the left-hand portion of the second span 13 which extends between the supports 1 and 2.
  • This left-hand portion of the span 13 comprises concrete sections 9, 10, 11, 12 which are assembled end-to-end and extend from the section 4 in a direction toward the support 2.
  • the crew resorts to a temporary staging 14 here shown as comprising an elongated frame or truss whose length exceeds substantially the distance between the sections and 12.
  • the staging 14 comprises an overhead truss forming a cantilever one arm of which rests on the sections 9-12 of the partially completed span 13 and the other arm of which extends beyond the support 2 in a direction toward the support 3, i.e., across a portion of the field of the span 17.
  • a knife edge bearing 16, mounted on the section 5 supports an intermediate portion of the staging 14 and the left-hand end of this staging carries a similar bearing 15 which rests on one of the sections 912. It is normally of advantage to connect the bearing 15 with the staging 14 so that this bearing may be shifted, when the staging is moved endwise to another position, for example, to the position shown in FIG. 3.
  • the crew may proceed with completion of the span 13 and simultaneously assembles and completes the lefthand portion of the span 17.
  • two sections 18, 18' are poured and then secured to the section 5 at the opposite sides thereof so that the section 18 constitutes the rightmost element of the span 13 and the section 18 constitutes the leftmost element of the span 17.
  • the crew then proceeds to pour the sections 19, 19 which are secured to the sections 18, 18 in the next following operation.
  • the sections 18, 18, 19, 19' are formed in frames or casings 14A, 148 (shown by heavy lines) which are mounted on working platforms 21), 21 suspended from the staging 14.
  • the lower part of this staging comprises guideways or rails 14D for dollies or similar carriages (not shown) which may travel in the longitudinal direction of the staging and which may carry heavy rods 22, 23, 24, 25 or similar attaching means to support the Working platforms 20, 21.
  • the platform 20 is suspended on rods 20, 24 and the platform 21 is suspended on rods 23, 25.
  • each or some of these rods may be provided with external threads to mesh with suitable spindle nuts which are rotated by hydraulic adjusting apparatus mounted on the staging 14 and serving to adjust the position of the platforms 20, 21.
  • the rods 22, 23 are provided with threads and respectively carry the outer ends of the platforms 20, 21, i.e., such ends which are more distant from the support 2.
  • the rods 24, 25 may but need not be directly secured to the staging 14; in FIG.
  • the deformation of staging 14 affects little or does not affect at all the accuracy of connection between a completed, permanently secured section (18 or 18) and the inner end of a freshly completed section (19 or 19).
  • Eventual deformation of the staging 14 is compensated for by adjustments in the axial position of the rods 22, 23 so that the sections 19, 19' may be connected to the sections 18, 18' with utmost accuracy.
  • the rods 22, 23 serve to support and to adjust the angular position of the platforms 20, 21 (in the event that the staging 14 undergoes some deformation) in such a way that each freshly completed section may be placed end-to-end and in faceto-face abutment with the previously completed section.
  • the rods 2225 may be replaced by hydraulic presses or other combined attaching and adjusting means.
  • the load upon the staging 14 is distributed substantially evenly at both sides of the bearing 16 so that the staging may be of lightweight construction.
  • the staging 14 resembles a cantilever beam whose arms are subjected to balanced loads whereby the bearing 15 subjects the left-hand portion of the span 13 to minimal stresses. Consequently, and if the sections of the spans 8, 13, 17 are of average length and weight, the staging 14 may comprise a lightweight truss which is easy to shift and which may be constructed at reasonable cost.
  • the bridge may be erected with the help of a comparatively short staging.
  • the overall length of the staging 14 need not exceed 1.2 times the length of the span 13 or 17.
  • the length of the staging 14 exceeds the length of the span 13 by about 25 percent. This is possible because the sections 1848', 19-19' etc. are assembled from opposite sides of that support (2) which carries the staging.
  • Such method brings about the aforementioned advantage that the completed portion of the span 13 (sections 9-12) is subjected to minimal stresses.
  • the bearing 15 merely transmits such stresses which are due to the fact that the length of the staging between the bearings 15, 16 exceeds the distance between the bearing 16 and the right-hand end of the staging as well as any such stresses which are due to eventual imbalance between the weights of the platforms 20, 21. Also, such highly advantageous distribution of loads remains unchanged when the platforms 20, 21 are moved away from the support 2 upon completion and attachment of sections 1848', 19419 etc. It will be readily understood that all movements of the platforms 20, 21 longitudinally of the rails 14D may be synchronized in such a way that the platforms remain mirror symmetrical with reference to the support 2.
  • the cantilever including the sections 5, 18, 18, 19, 19' may be stabilized by ballast 27 secured to heavy rods 28 which connect the section 13 with the staging 14 at the left-hand side of the bearing 16 so that the cantilever is held against tilting and eventual overturning in a clockwise direction.
  • the ballast 27 may be omitted if the bridge is erected in such a way that the combined weight of the sections 18, 19 exceeds the combined weight of the sections 18', 19', i.e., if the cantilever consisting of the sections carried by the support 2 tends to tilt in a counterclockwise direction, as viewed in FIG. 1.
  • stabilizing means such as the fasteners 26, ballast 27 and rods 23, is of particular advantage when the spans are very long so that the cantilever formed by the sections extending to both sides of a support is very heavy.
  • platforms 2t), 21 are separated therefrom and the rods 22, 24 and 23, 25 are shifted away from each other by moving the respective dollies along the rails 14]).
  • the platforms 2t 21 are arrested in requisite positions to to permit completion of the next pair of mirror symmetrical sections 29, 29' which are shown in FIG. 2 and which are subsequentiy secured to the sections 19, 19'.
  • the rods 24, 25 are respectively fixed to the sections 19, 19 and the ballast 27 may be shifted to the left, as viewed in FIG. 1 or 2.
  • the same procedure is then followed preparatory to, during, and after completion of the next pair of sections 30, shown in FIG. 2, which are respectively secured to the sections 29, 29.
  • FIG. 2 illustrates this section in the casing 14A with the rods 22, 24 respectively secured to the sections 12, 36 to insure that the section 31 is properly aligned with these sections and may be fixed thereto to complete the span 13.
  • the rods 24 may be fixed to the staging 14 while the crew assembles and secures the section 31 in the position of FIG. 2.
  • the rods 22 may be secured to the section 12 and/or to the staging 14.

  • the platform 21 is preferably disconnected from the staging and is carried by one of the sections which constitute the completed left-hand portion of the span 17 (e.g., the platform 21 may be carried by the section 18 which is close to the support 2).
