Abstract:The main bridge of Nanjing Chengtian Avenue Qinhuai Bay Bridge is a single-span 157 m through spatial multi-plane special-shaped bowstring arch bridge. Relying on the steel structure engineering of the Qinhuai Bay Bridge, combined with the actual construction situation, a set of manufacturing and erecting technical schemes for complex spacial special-shaped twisted bowstring arch bridge is formulated. The technical aspects such as division of orthogonal anisotropic plate flat steel box beam segments, and division, manufacture, assembly, alignment control and erection of special-shaped arch rib segments are systematically elaborated. The control essentials and detailed construction measures in the manufacturing and installation process are put forward. Based on the above technical scheme, the Qinhuai Bay Bridge was smoothly constructed and assembled. Finally, the bridge was closed and opened to traffic.
