In addition to their structural advantages, prestressed SCC girders are favourable options in the precast construction of bridges because their fabrication process can be easily managed to be under well-controlled environmental conditions and subjected to high-standard quality assurances in precast plants (Hassan, 2007; Wehbe et al., 2009). They provide a low-maintenance, durable and cost-effective solution for both State and County bridges. The methods are recommended for consideration in order of preference. Its mode of deflection is primarily by bending. As discussed earlier, prestressed girders with a more efficient cross-section, lighter weight, higher strength, and more durability can be achieved by using proper SCC mixtures (Griffin, 2014; Hernandez et al., 2014; Hernandez and Myers, 2015; Griffin and Myers, 2016). Post Tensioned Beam. Figure H 5-694.815 shows handling of the pre-stressed girders prior to transportation. This is like lifting a row of books by pressing them together from . The deck slab rests on four prestressed concrete girders, spaced at 2.3 metres, with a cantilever slab of 1 metre on either side. Mohiuddin Ali Khan Ph.D., P.E., C. The slab acts as a single, wide beam spanning from substructure unit to substructure unit. Impact damage to PC girders can range from simple scrapes to large section loss and severed prestressing strands. Therefore, in conjunction with Task IV, UMR has recommended to MoDOT that thermal stress calculations be incorporated into the current design procedure for prestressed concrete I -girder bridges.

The web is the side vertical stem of the box-shaped girders. Problems such as major uneven deformation or walk-out must be corrected. The ribs are generally term in the cellular type box girder. The WFTDG series includes all the depths of the standard WF girders. Two of the seven girders had carbon steel strands and served as control girders. The customization is done based on the requirement of the project. In this paper, the new spliced technique is introduced and the structural safety and behavior by the new spliced technique is verified and discussed through numerical examples. Based on the above engineering situations, this study started with the purpose of the development of an improved construction method to ensure the proper beam depth in short-to-medium span bridges of 30 m ~ 45 m. It also intended to keep the construction merit as the simply supported beam system like the precast I-type girders. Furthermore, an integrated life cycle assessment and life cycle cost analysis (LCA-LCC) study showed that the bridge system incorporating ECC link slab consumed 40% less total primary energy, and 40% less carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, than the conventional bridge-deck system with expansion joints.76 Apparently, the long-term durability of ECC link slab leads to minimized maintenance and repairs, resulting in the significantly reduced economic and environmental impacts. The two most common types of modern steel girder bridges are plate and box. The flange is the top and bottom parts of box-shaped girders. Structures that are deficient in areas such as seat length and bearing instability, or that have inadequate connections between superstructure and substructure, may be retrofitted by the addition of shear blocks and/or dowel bars, or by construction of concrete pedestals that act as shear blocks and alleviate bearing instability. This bridge was therefore selected by the Alabama Department of Transportation for evaluation of repair techniques. Provide Cribbing for Vulnerable Bearings.

The WF36TDG is 36" deep and can span from between 100' - 120' long (depending on the spacing). Most commonly, the girders are constructed using steel or concrete. These structures mainly include the girders, diaphragms or cross-braces, and sometimes even the truss or arch system. Post-tensioning. The research examined costs with respect to variability in bridge type, span length, number of spans, and bridge life. The flexural behavior of stainless steel prestressed concrete girders was experimentally studied. The single-mode spectral method, or any higher-level analysis, is used to calculate the seismic forces to be resisted by the bearings or other anchorage devices. 4.1 Girder Type (NU-I Girder Compared with AASHTO) 11 4.2 Prestressing Strand Diameter (0.6 inch to 0.7 inch) 12 4.3 Compressive Strength of Concrete (8 ksi to 15 ksi) 15 4.4 Strength Design Method vs. Found inside – Page 136Total . spanning between concrete girders , supported by inter- Type No. 2 shows slab and joist construction with ior concrete columns and exterior brick ...

Add Shear Blocks and/or Pedestals. Appropriate bearing types and restraining connections are designed to endure construction and traffic loads. The superstructure of the girder bridge mainly consists of the following components: The deck refers to the roadway or the walkway of the girder bridge. Found inside – Page 111Among the types considered were continuous steel girder systems ... steel or concrete arches ; precast girders and spine systems with transverse deck beams ... Probably the first cast-in-place box-girder continuous prestressed bridge with two spans of 62.7 m was built over the River Maas in 1948 [1 ]. Prestressed girders are particularly economical when longer beam lengths are required; some types are suitable for spans of up to 200 feet. Multi-Rotational Pot Bearings. The area to be repaired was first prepared by sandblasting. Two types of footers can be constructed naming the spread footer and piling cap.

The bridge is well instrumented at critical locations for internal temperature and strain data collection using 44 fibre optic sensors. For example, for rectangular beams, the most common way of repair is fully wrapping of the member. As the name itself implies, a box girder bridge is box-like in shape. Diaphragms help to distribute dead and live loads in both directions. These structures mainly include the girders, diaphragms or cross-braces, and sometimes even the truss or arch system. Superstructures include: flat slabs, adjacent box beams, pretensioned beams, spliced and curved girders. Beam is defined as the structural member which is used to bear different loads. The results obtained from the literature review and preliminary designs, along with precaster and contractor input, are summarized in this report. The deck slab rests on four prestressed concrete girders, spaced at 2.3 metres, with a cantilever slab of 1 metre on either side. Modify the plan area and/or thickness of the elastomeric bearing to reduce seismic forces to the substructure. Bearings are the Weakest Components: Several methods of seismic retrofit are outlined for bearings and expansion joints within the FHWA Retrofit Manual. The stem essentially forms the main body of the bridge foundation. Well-suited for spans up to 160 feet. Many types of prestressed concrete beams such as slab beam, void slab beam, spread slab beam, or double-tee (DT) girder could be applied for rural bridge types B and C. I-section beam, T-section beam, and spread slab beam exhibit more economical than slab beams, void slab beams, or box girders (Hueste et al. Whereas substructures include: precast end bents, piles and pile bent caps, water line pile caps, and precast columns. Holes can be rectangular or round.
