The axial multi-directional displacement comb plate expansion device is widely used in highway bridges, mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Adapt to bridge displacement: Highway bridges may experience longitudinal, horizontal, and vertical displacement due to factors such as temperature difference, wind force, and vehicle loading. The axial multi-directional displacement comb plate expansion device can meet these complex displacement requirements. For example, under the action of temperature difference, it can adapt to the thermal expansion and contraction of bridges, avoiding the damage caused by the collapse of the beam body after expansion; Under the action of wind load, it can cope with the fan-shaped displacement caused by the lateral drift of the beam body; Under the action of vehicle load or partial load, it can adapt to the vertical and torsional displacement of the beam, ensure the normal operation of the expansion joint device, and ensure the safety of vehicle passage.
2. Improve driving comfort: This device has good horizontal, vertical, and torsional performance, and strong resistance to fatigue and impact. The contact surface between its comb teeth is usually treated with special treatment, such as installing rubber pads or using lubricants, which can reduce the noise and vibration generated when vehicles pass by, making driving smoother and more comfortable.
3. Enhance the stability of bridge structure: The surface layer board adopts comb shaped anti-skid groove steel plate, which has high stiffness and can withstand large horizontal displacement, with an expansion and contraction of more than 420mm. At the same time, the comb structure can evenly transmit vehicle loads to the bridge structure, reduce local stress concentration, and extend the service life of the bridge.
4. Convenient construction and maintenance: The construction height is low, and there is no need to reserve too deep installation grooves. It can be installed within the height of the bridge deck pavement layer, which is convenient for design and construction. And when damage occurs, only the damaged module can be disassembled and replaced separately, reducing maintenance costs and minimizing the impact on traffic.
5. Good waterproof performance: The gap between expansion joints can be sealed with rubber strips or other sealing materials, effectively preventing moisture from penetrating into the interior of the bridge. Some comb shaped bridge expansion joints are also equipped with drainage systems to ensure that rainwater can be quickly discharged, reduce the erosion of accumulated water on the bridge, and protect the bridge structure.
