The invention provides a protective method for removing an
arch bridge, which belongs to the technology field of bridge removal. The method aims to provide a protective bridge removal method with safety, high efficiency and no
pollution. The technical points include: building up a new trestle, erecting a
gantry crane, carrying out the bridge removal in a
reverse order of the bridge building including bridge decking, coping, column, beam, arch rib and arch support in sequence. The removal stage of the arch rib especially includes removing by adopting methods of top-supporting under the arch, arch box transverse stop and horizontal restraining
rope, which better solves the difficult problem of the protective bridge removal with safety, high efficiency and no
pollution in a complex construction environment of guaranteeing under-arch navigation,
high security level, short construction period and various unpredictable elements, manages to meet the design requirements of the removal safety factor in the protective bridge removal process and the limit control under various removal working conditions and guarantees the removal quality and the construction safety. The removal method has low cost and remarkable social benefit reflected in the direct
economic analysis, which is a protective removal method of large-span bridges with safety, high efficiency and practicability.
