Abstract

A method for launching/constructing a bridge using assembly of a precast bottom plate and a concrete-filled steel tube truss girder, wherein a CFT truss girder and a precast bottom plate are provisionally assembled, thereby forming a segment, and then a plurality of segments are successively launched, thereby constructing a bridge.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A launching method of a bridge, which constructs a bridge to have a superstructure composed of a concrete filled steel tube (CFT) truss girder and a precast concrete slab, the launching method comprising:
placing a precast concrete slab on a CFT truss girder at a casting bed to fabricate a segment including the CFT truss girder and the precast concrete slab in a temporarily assembled state, successively disposing segments to connect CFT truss girders integrally with each other, and launching the segments in order in a front direction to form a superstructure of a bridge; and
integrally composing the CFT truss girders and the precast concrete slabs after the segments are completely launched.

2. The launching method of a bridge according to claim 1 ,
wherein a plurality of precast concrete slabs is successively disposed in a longitudinal direction at a single segment, and
after the segments are completely launched, when the CFT truss girders and the precast concrete slabs are integrally composed, a prestressing force is applied to the plurality of precast concrete slabs in a longitudinal direction so that the precast concrete slabs are integrated with each other.

3. The launching method of a bridge according to claim 1 ,
wherein the CFT truss girder includes an upper beam, a lower beam, and a web beam connecting the upper and lower beams,
wherein a support member is provided at an upper surface of the upper beam to support the precast concrete slab, a shear pocket formed with a through hole is formed in the precast concrete slab at a location placed on the upper beam of the CFT truss girder, and a stud inserted into the shear pocket is provided at the upper beam, and
wherein the process of temporarily assembling the CFT truss girder and the precast concrete slab by placing the precast concrete slab on the CFT truss girder includes placing the precast concrete slab on the support member so that the stud is inserted into the shear pocket, and coupling an extension rod to an upper portion of the stud and installing an anchor plate on an upper surface of the precast concrete slab so that the upper portion of the extension rod is coupled to the anchor plate.

4. The launching method of a bridge according to claim 3 ,
wherein the process of integrally composing the CFT truss girders and the precast concrete slabs includes removing the extension rod and the anchor plate, and placing a grouting material in the shear pocket at which the stud is located so that the grouting material fills the upper space of the upper beam and the shear pocket and is cured.

5. The launching method of a bridge according to claim 4 ,
wherein a through hole is formed in the anchor plate so that the extension rod passes therethrough, and
wherein the process of coupling the upper portion of the extension rod to the anchor plate includes placing the anchor plate on the shear pocket in a state where the extension rod is coupled to the stud so that the upper portion of the extension rod is inserted into the through hole and thus the anchor plate passing through the anchor plate is placed on the upper surface of the precast concrete slab, and coupling a coupling member to the extension rod protruding on an upper surface of the anchor plate to press the anchor plate toward the upper surface of the precast concrete slab.

6. The launching method of a bridge according to claim 5 ,
wherein when the CFT truss girder and the precast concrete slab are integrally composed, after the extension rod and the anchor plate are removed, a head portion is coupled to a top of the stud, and then the grouting material is placed in the shear pocket.

7. The launching method of a bridge according to claim 1 ,
wherein the process of fabricating segments and launching the segments in order in a front direction to form a superstructure of a bridge includes:
placing a precast concrete slab on a CFT truss girder and temporarily assembling the precast concrete slab and the CFT truss girder to fabricate a first segment;
temporarily assembling a CFT truss girder and a precast concrete slab to fabricate a second segment, and disposing the second segment at the rear of the first segment to connect the CFT truss girders of the first and second segments;
pushing the first and second segments to be launched in a front direction; and
fabricating an additional segment by temporarily assembling a CFT truss girder and a precast concrete slab, disposing the additionally fabricated segment at the rear of the segment located at a rearmost side, connecting CFT truss girders of the segments, and then pushing the segments to be launched in a front direction.

8. The launching method of a bridge according to claim 7 ,
wherein a winch is installed at an abutment of the bridge, and
wherein in the process of pushing the segments to be launched in a front direction, a cross beam having a pulley is installed at a rear end of the segment located at a rearmost side, a wire is wound around the pulley, and the winch winds the wire to pull the wire so that the segment is moved forwards.
