Definitions
- the invention relates to the field of stay cable system for cable-stayed bridges.
- Stay cable system consists basically of tendon member, protection member, the member of anchorage sockets as well as the member of cable-girder and cable-pylon attaching structures. These members relate and influence with each other.
- Stay cables normally govern the useful life and construction progress of cable-stayed bridges with the following factors: resistance to fatigue loading and corrosion, ease of transportation and erection, allowance of inspecting as well as ability of eventual replacement.
- the attaching structures influence the safety, economy and aesthetics of whole bridge sensitively by the reliability and compact of their arrangement.
- DE 3 723 795 A discloses a stay cable system with all the features of the preamble of claim 1.
- the tendons with parallel strands are more and more widely used in stay cable systems, because of their advantages of easy transportation and erection. But at present there are three serious problems in such kind of cable systems.
- This invention will solve the entire Problem A, Problem B and Problem C at the same time.
- Figure 1 illustrates the general layout of the novel stay cable system, which is exclusively for the tendons with parallel strands (I) covered by a sheath pipe (Ib).
- the system comprises five parts:
- Part 1 novel arrangement of anchorage holes.
- monostrand anchored holes on anchor head are normally arranged with odd number (for example 61).
- monostrand anchored holes on main anchor head (1) are always arranged with even number (for example 60), and are separated into two symmetrical groups (1a and 1b).
- those two groups of strand can easily pass through the I-girder (II) along both side of girder web respectively keeping axes of cable and girder web in a same plane then can reliably be anchored in a main anchor head (1) under the bottom of the girder (II).
- the strands (Ia) outside main anchorage socket do not be cut off after the final jacking, for it will be convenient for eventual individual strand replacement and the strands will be under protecting of dehumidification system (see Part 5).
- Part 2 novel double half-cylindrical auxiliary anchorage sockets.
- auxiliary anchorage socket works for traffic load only, its construction ought and can be calmly arranged after the final cable force adjustment Besides the fatigue resistant criterion, another design criterion for auxiliary anchorage sockets is that strands must be individually anchored in the sockets to ensure the possibility of individual strand replacement. Two types of auxiliary anchorage socket are created for selecting.
- Part 3 - novel anchoring tie beam in pylon Part 3 - novel anchoring tie beam in pylon.
- anchoring tie beams in pylon (III) can be simplified to the most economical type of I-beam (3), web and stiffening plates of which are also signed with (IIa) (IIb) respectively as in I-girder.
- the structures mentioned in Part 1 and Part 2 are valid in Part 3.
- Tie beam with I-section can be extensively used for inclined cable plane by the helping of tie bars (3a) (see Figure 6). Advantages of the structure are:
- Part 4 novel steel anchoring bed.
- the conventional anchoring bed can be replaced by a novel steel anchoring bed (4), web and stiffening plates of which are also signed with (IIa) (IIb) respectively as in I-girder (see Figure 8).
- the structures mentioned in Part 1 and Part 2 are valid in Part 4.
- Two dry air transmission pipes (5b) are erected from the main anchorage plate (4a) in pylon (III) to the cells enclosed by stiffening plates (IIb) and cover plates (IIc) at the bottom of girder (II or IId) and connected to a dehumidification plant (5g), which is installed inside anchoring room at pylon top, by the dry air entrances (5a).
- a dehumidification plant (5g) works, air circulates within the whole hollow part of cable.
- Dry air is blown into the transmission pipes (5b) through dry air entrances (5a), then separates out of dry air exits (5c) mainly at the bottom of sheath pipe (Ib), partly at the guide pipes (Ic) and cells enclosed by stiffening plates (IIb) and cover plates (IIc).
- wet air is exhausted out of cable to the plant (5g) through vent holes (5d), vent pipes (5e), which pass through the positioners (Id) of strands (I) in guide pipe (Ic), and wet air exits (5f).
- Such operation offers to one cable after another with certain hours per day or per couple of days for each cable. Similar operation offers also to anchoring room in pylon by dry air exit (5o) and wet air entrance (5p) of the plant (5g) at regular intervals to protect the strands (Ia) outside main anchorage socket (see Part 1 also).
- strand sample (5k) and humidity measuring point (5i) are arranged in the cells enclosed by stiffening plates (IIb) and cover plates (IIc) at the bottom of girder (II or IId), while strand sample (5l) and humidity measuring point (5h) are arranged in the similar cells in pylon (III) respectively.
- Strand sample (5k) and/or strand sample (5l) can be checked and tested in laboratory, when necessary. Similar checking and testing can be arranged for sample (5n) of the strands (Ia) outside main anchorage socket.
- Humidity measuring point (5h) can be connected to the automatic control system of dehumidification plant (5g), if necessary. If there is water inside hollow part of cable, it will flow down through drainage holes (5j) and can be pumped out through the drainage valve (5m).

Claims (4)
- Un système de haubanage exclusivement pour les tendons avec des torons parallèles (I) couverts par une tube de couverture (Ib) que contient un système de protection, comprenant des entrées d'air sec (5a), des tuyaux de transmission d'air sec (5b), des sorties d'air sec (5c), des trous de ventilation (5d), des tuyaux de ventilation (5e), des sorties d'air humide (5f), une machine de déshumidification (5g), ainsi que quelques autres facilitées pour résumer, mesurer, contrôler et tester, qu'assurent les torons dans une condition observable, contrôlable et assez protégée, ledit système de haubanage est caractérisé aussi par:Un bloc d'ancrage principal (1), dans lequel les tuyaux d'ancrage sont divisés en deux groupes symétriques, que puissent être arrangé sous la poutre d'acier I ou des autres poutres, de sorte que l'axe de câble et le plan principal de la poutre abdomen coïncident. Dans le pylône espace d'ancrage, les torons (la) en dehors du bloc d'ancrage principal ne sont pas coupés après le vérin final, car le remplacement de toron individuel et les torons seront sous la protection du ledit système de déshumidification,Des blocs d'ancrage auxiliaires, à moitié cylindrique et double (2) que puissent être arrangé en les deux côtés du tissu (web) en poutre d'acier I (II), en ancrer la poutre de bandage (3) ou en ancrage fond d'acier.
