Reinforcement Design and Physical Testing of New and Old Cushion Cap of Existing Bridge
Abstract As an important part of bridge structure, pile cap plays an important role in its operation. There is a lack of sufficient research in the design and construction of the existing bridges, especially in the operation process of the river crossing bridge, there will be more security risks, so it is urgent to strengthen the bearing platform. Combined with the general design theory of bridge cap, considering the feasibility of construction and the difficulty of operation, the new and old caps are planted with steel bars to make them bear the common force. Aiming at the problem of insufficient bearing capacity, the cap reinforcement method is proposed, so as to improve the stability of the bridge. The research results can provide reference for similar bridge reinforcement projects in the future.
