A Bailey beam for reinforcement is composed of Bailey panels, stiffening rods, bolts, anchor bolts, a prestressing tendon and anchorages. The components of the Bailey beam are all prefabricated in a factory, and are assembled and hoisted on site. The prestressing tendon is arranged in a lower chord of the Bailey beam, and is anchored to the stiffening rods at both ends. The Bailey beam slides towards both ends during prestress tensioning. In this case, the Bailey beam is lifted as a whole, and the prestressing force is applied to a lower edge of the Bailey beam, resulting in an inverted arch of structure, closing up of cracks and a decrease in downward deflection. After the completion of the prestress tensioning, sealing is performed by fixing fillers, a sealing steel plate and injecting solidifiable materials.
A prestressed Bailey beam for reinforcement, comprising Bailey panels, anchor bolts, two stiffening rods, bolts, nuts and a prestressing tendon, wherein the Bailey panels comprise a front Bailey panel, an end Bailey panel, and a middle Bailey panel set, all Bailey panels are linked end-to-end in sequence, the front Bailey panel and the end Bailey panel are installed on both ends of the prestressed Bailey beam respectively, the middle Bailey panel set is installed between the front Bailey panel and the end Bailey panel and a number of the middle Bailey panel is n pairs, wherein n is a natural number, a plurality of elongated sliding grooves are formed at both an upper chord and a lower chord of each of the Bailey panels, the anchor bolts pass through the elongated sliding grooves and are fixed on a structure to be strengthened, the two stiffening rods are disposed on the front Bailey panel and the end Bailey panel respectively, one end of each of the stiffening rods is connected to the upper chord of the front Bailey panel and end Bailey panel respectively through a corresponding one of the bolts, each of the anchor bolts passes through a central position of a respective stiffening rod and is fixed on the structure to be strengthened so as to function as a fulcrum for each respective stiffening rod to rotate, an anchorage is disposed at the other end of each of the stiffening rods, the prestressing tendon passes through the two anchorages on the two stiffening rods, and the nuts are screwed into the anchor bolts and are tightened to fix positions of the Bailey panels after completion of tensioning of the prestressing tendon.
A construction method adapted for a prestressed Bailey beam for reinforcement, the method comprising the following steps:
