Abstract:To address the challenge of unbalanced moment control in the rotating construction of curved continuous beams, and taking the 40 m+56 m+40 m prestressed concrete continuous beam of the super-large bridge spanning the Baotou-Lanzhou Railway as the research object, the spherical hinge rotation test method is used to measure the key parameters such as unbalanced moment, friction resistance moment and eccentric distance of Piers 22# and 23#. The results show that the spherical hinge friction resistance moments of the two pier rotating beams are all less than the unbalanced moment. The center of gravity is all inclined towards the long mileage side. The initial eccentric distances are 9.9 cm and 6.7 cm respectively. After scheme comparison, the longitudinal tilting counterweight scheme for the beam body is adopted. A 2.5-t counterweight is arranged on the short-distance side of Pier 22, and the eccentric distance is optimized to 6.5 cm. No counterweight is needed for Pier 23. Finally, a counterweight control rule is extracted for long-span curved rotating beam bridges. When the eccentric distance exceeds the threshold, the targeted counterweights should be added. If meeting the standard, no counterweight is required, which provides the technical reference for the construction of similar projects.
