Abstract:With the development of highway construction, interchanges and bridges increasingly span existing roads, rivers and railways. Prestressed concrete continuous beams have advantages in driving comfort, stiffness, economy and durability, which inevitably leads to the construction of long-span concrete continuous beams with variable-width sections. Current research on the design and construction of long-span variable-width prestressed concrete beams remains insufficient. Combined with a practical engineering project, this paper presents the key design points of long-span variable-width prestressed concrete beams. An asymmetric construction method, consisting of cantilever casting for the middle span and large-segment monolithic casting for the side spans, is adopted for this type of bridge. The anti-overturning measures and construction control methods during construction are investigated and verified by field measurement data from the real bridge. Verification results demonstrate that segmental alignment errors remained within code-specified limits, anti-overturning safety factors satisfied all requirements throughout construction, and the as-built structural state aligned well with design objectives. These findings confirm the feasibility of the asymmetric construction technology and control scheme for large-span variable-width continuous beams, offering valuable insights for similar projects.
