Dongjiang Lichuan Bridge in Dongguan City is a curved tower curved beam cable-stayed bridge with a main span of 138m and no back cable. The main pier cap is located on the bank slope of Dongguan Waterway on one side of Nandi Road. The cushion cap is dumbbell type, and the left and right cushion caps are connected by tie beams. In most areas, the top of rock stratum is above the bottom of bearing platform. The rock stratum within the buried depth of bearing platform is moderately to strongly weathered argillaceous siltstone. The geological conditions are complex and the construction is difficult. In line with the principles of speeding up the construction process and improving economic benefits, comprehensive analysis and weighing advantages and disadvantages, the main pier cap adopts a composite cofferdam of filling soil to build an island and combining bored pile rows and steel sheet piles. The construction task of bearing platform of main pier has been completed with high quality. Compared with other cushion cap construction methods, this construction method has the advantages of fast construction, high quality, simple safety, energy saving and environmental protection. This paper briefly introduces the design scheme of composite cofferdam, expounds in detail the operation steps of steel sheet pile construction and the problems needing attention in construction, and provides good reference experience for similar pile cap construction.
