XX Bridge is located in XX Town, XX County, and was built in 1994. It has 4 spans, each 13 meters long, with a total length of 63.0 meters. The width of the bridge deck is 4.0 meters (carriageway)+2 × 1.0 meters (sidewalk). The upper structure is reinforced concrete hollow slab with 5 slabs per span; The substructure is gravity abutment, expanded foundation, pile column pier, with pile diameter of 1.00m, column diameter of 0.80m, transverse tie beam of 0.70m wide and 0.90m high. With the development of local economy and the increasingly close combination of urban and rural areas, the traffic volume is growing very rapidly, and there are many heavy vehicles, especially the role of overloaded vehicles. The bridge is far from meeting the requirements of bearing capacity and normal use. Many parts of the bridge's load-bearing structure were damaged due to various reasons such as construction quality, post lifting management and maintenance. The top plates of four reinforced concrete hollow slabs of the superstructure collapsed, and the longitudinal axis of the pile columns of the three piers of the substructure deviated greatly. The piles and columns were staggered in both the longitudinal and transverse directions, forming eccentricity, with an eccentricity distance of 10-25cm. The pile and column center lines are out of alignment and not parallel to each other. The pile head was not cleaned up during construction, so that the pile column joint section contains bricks, mud and sand and other sundries, resulting in necking, cavity and other defects. The side wall of the north abutment is fractured, tilted outward, and displaced. The side wall is fractured and separated from the front wall, with a crack width of 3cm and a dislocation distance of 5cm. At present, the bridge is restricted to traffic and has been designated as a dangerous bridge.
Entrusted by the traffic bureau of a certain county, it is planned to demolish the original site of the old bridge and rebuild a 3 × 20m reinforced concrete T-shaped beam bridge with a width of 6.0m for the carriageway+2 × 0.5m for the guardrail. The substructure adopts double column pier (abutment) and cast-in-place pile foundation.
