The previous article discussed the problems existing in the application of the cantilever form traveler technology in bridge construction, so what are the solutions to the common problems? This article will introduce them to you.

Adopt Reinforcement Methods

Reinforcement or strengthening methods to improve the flexural capacity of the beam is a common technical means in bridge construction. In the cantilever form traveler technology, the bending moment received by the beam will cause a certain deformation, affecting its bearing capacity. Therefore, adopting reinforcement or strengthening methods can enhance the flexural capacity of the beam and ensure the safety and stability of bridge construction. Reinforcement or strengthening methods include a variety of methods such as reinforced concrete reinforcement, carbon fiber reinforcement, and prestressed reinforcement. Among them, reinforced concrete reinforcement is a commonly used reinforcement method that can increase the beam's bearing capacity by drilling holes on its surface and pouring concrete. Carbon fiber reinforcement is a new type of reinforcement method that has the advantages of light weight, convenient construction, and significant effect. Prestressed reinforcement is to apply prestress in advance before construction to increase the beam's bearing capacity. It is important to note that when using reinforcement or strengthening methods to enhance the flexural capacity of the beam, it is necessary to select the appropriate reinforcement method according to the specific situation, and carry out sufficient design and construction. At the same time, the reinforced or strengthened beam should be fully tested and monitored to ensure its bearing capacity meets the requirements. In construction, corresponding construction plans should be formulated based on the specific situation and effective measures should be taken to ensure the safety and efficiency of construction.

Reasonably Determine the Position of Lifting Point

In the cantilever form traveler technology, accurately determining the hanging point is a crucial step. The position of the hanging point will not only directly affect the force and deformation of the cantilever beam, but also affect the overall efficiency of the bridge construction. Hence, we need to take action to ensure the rationality of the hanging point position. First, we should fully consider the structural characteristics and construction environment of the cantilever beam to determine the position of the hanging point. When determining the the hanging point, it is best to avoid setting it at the end of the cantilever beam as this will result in an unbalanced force on the cantilever beam, thereby affecting construction efficiency and quality. At the same time, we also need to determine the hanging point based on actual situation and experience to ensure safety and stability during construction. Secondly, we can also take technical measures to reduce the force and deformation of the cantilever beam. For instance, set up tensioning devices at the hanging point to adjust the force distribution of the cantilever beam and reduce the deformation, or adopt prestressing technology to prestress the cantilever beam before construction to reduce the force and deformation during construction. In conclusion, accurately determining the position of the hanging point is one of the key solutions to the challenges existing in the application of the cantilever form traveler technology in bridge construction. We should fully consider the structural characteristics and construction environment, and take some technical measures to ensure the safety and stability of the construction, and improve its construction efficiency and quality.

Strengthen Foundation Treatment

Bridge construction requires strengthening the foundation treatment and ensuring its stability. Before constructing the cantilever form traveler technology, a thorough survey and analysis of the foundation must be conducted to ensure its stability and bearing capacity. Additionally, corresponding foundation reinforcement measures should be taken based on actual situation, such as reinforcing foundation treatment and setting reinforced concrete foundations to maintain stability. To ensure the foundation's stability, attention should be paid to reinforcing the monitoring and maintenance during construction. By monitoring the foundation's deformation and settlement, problems can be identified and resolved in time to prevent irreversible damage. At the same time, the foundation should be regularly maintained, such as reinforcing cracks and cleaning up dirt, to extend its service life. Finally, improving safety awareness of construction personnel is crucial in ensuring the stability of the foundation. During the construction of the cantilever form traveler technology, construction personnel should operate in strict regulations to prevent excessive excavation, overloading, etc., thereby ensuring the stability and safety of the foundation. At the same time, construction personnel should also receive regular safety training to improve safety awareness and emergency response capabilities.
