    摘要: A construction method for fixing a foundation of a waterborne structure including an offshore platform to a seabed (2) is described. The foundation includes at least one hollow column (108) which incorporates a pile cap (43) at its bottom. In the method, piles (49) are driven into the seabed (2) to a design depth, and the hollow column (108) is then lowered to the seabed (2) so as to surround the pile group and be supported thereby. Concrete is cast into the bottom of the hollow column (108), wherein reinforcement steel bar (45) has been pre-installed to translate the conventional mass concrete plug into a reinforced concrete small pile cap (43) adapted to support the hollow column (108) thereon during construction. The hollow column (108) is de-watered, excessive pile length is cut, and pile cap reinforcement (47) is fixed followed by concrete casting of the pile cap (44). A platform deck is then installed and constructed on top of the now-fixed hollow column (108).

    摘要: The invention is an Energy Storage Bridge (ESB) consisting of air-tight steel pipes, which are used to store the compressed air as stored energy, also used as the load carrying structural elements of the bridge. The stored energy can be the unwanted grid power or the intermittent regenerated energy sources. When the energy is needed, the compressed air is released to convert back to electricity, or to make use of the compressed air to produce hot water during its compression cycle, and cool air at its decompression and expansion cycle when it absorbs heat- an air conditioning technology called Air Cycle Air Conditioning (ACAC) widely used in commercial aircraft. For sea-crossing bridges, because of their great lengths the bridge body volume is enormous, and because of their remoteness from populated areas, they suit well for mass energy storage attached to power plants. With safety measures built in the steel pipes, the ESB can be applied to city road bridges. Since these bridges are not far from populated areas, they can be used as small energy storage units that provide the nearby industrial and commercial complex as well as residential buildings hot water and compressed air for air-conditioning using ACAC technology. The process eliminates the conversion of compressed air back to electricity, but directly uses the compression and decompression cycles to supply hot water and cool air for air-conditioning to the nearby consumers.

    摘要: In a construction method for planting a hollow column (21) in a seabed (2) for supporting a waterborne structure (11) thereon, a steel tube (101) is driven into the bed (2) to the founding stratum (5), with materials of the bed (2) within tube (101) excavated and any surplus steel tube (101) cut off. A first segment (1A) is inserted into tube (101), then second/subsequent segments (2A-8A) are joined tightly to its previous segment (1A-7A) to form column (21). Pressure grouting fills gaps between the tube (101) and column (21). Upon hardening, the tube (101) and column (21) form an integral unit adapted to take loads due to a surface friction resistance present between the steel tube (101) outer surface and soil materials (4) of the seabed (2), and due to an end bearing resistance present between the base of column (21) and the founding stratum (5).

    摘要: An energy storage bridge includes a plurality of bridge girders. The bridge girder includes a number of steel pipes and a plurality of web plates. The steel pipes are assembled either in a single row or in multiple rows in the structural depth direction to form the girder together with the web plate welded between the two halves of the pipe; or with two web plates welded to each side of the pipe. The bridge girder forms an energy storage unit between two consecutive movement joints of the bridge, and two consecutive storage units can be joined by high pressure flexible pipe to form a giant energy storage unit.
