Book Design Guide for Composite Highway Bridges

Download or read book Design Guide for Composite Highway Bridges written by David C. Iles and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2001-12-20 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Composite construction, using a reinforced concrete slab on top of steel girders, is an economical and popular form of construction for highway bridges. This book covers the design of continuous composite bridges, with both compact and non-compact sections, and simply supported composite bridges with the 'slab-on-beam' form of construction. Part One provides advice on the general considerations for design, the initial design process, and the verification of structural adequacy in accordance with BS 5400. The determination of design forces throughout the slab is described, and key features relating to slab design are identified. Advice on structural detailing is also given. Part Two provides worked examples for a four-span bridge, three-span bridge and for the deck slab of a simply supported bridge. Each example is presented as a series of calculation sheets, with accompanying commentary and advice given on facing pages. Design Guide for Composite Highway Bridges is a compilation of guidance previously given in separate SCI publications. As such it will act as an authoritative guide for new designers and as a reference text for the bridge design office.

Book Composite Bridges with Prefabricated Decks  ELEM

Download or read book Composite Bridges with Prefabricated Decks ELEM written by and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bridges are of vital importance to the European infrastructure and composite bridges already became a popular solution in many countries and a well established alternative to concrete bridges. To improve the competitiveness of composite bridges, as a consistent next step not only the steel girders, but also the concrete deck needs to be pre-fabricated, which results in a reduction of the number of site operations and a substantial saving in the construction time and a shorter disruption of traffic flow respectively. Although already successfully built in France and Sweden, the critical details (mainly of the slab and its connections) need to be identified, proper solutions need to be found and the applicability, durability and sustainability of this composite bridge type must be proven in order to make the concept cost efficient. The major objectives of the ELEM project are to improve the overall competitiveness of this upcoming composite bridge type. Furthermore matters of safety during construction will be highlighted. The research aims at making bridges with pre-fabricated deck elements competitive not only for short and medium spans but also for multi spans, which will lead to an increase in the use of steel in bridges. The project includes both intensive theoretical and experimental investigations on steel components, concrete slab and connections, including the testing and monitoring of a composite bridge constructed with prefabricated deck elements.

Book Design of Steel Concrete Composite Bridges to Eurocodes

Download or read book Design of Steel Concrete Composite Bridges to Eurocodes written by Ioannis Vayas and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 586 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combining a theoretical background with engineering practice, Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges to Eurocodes covers the conceptual and detailed design of composite bridges in accordance with the Eurocodes. Bridge design is strongly based on prescriptive normative rules regarding loads and their combinations, safety factors, material properties, analysis methods, required verifications, and other issues that are included in the codes. Composite bridges may be designed in accordance with the Eurocodes, which have recently been adopted across the European Union. This book centers on the new design rules incorporated in the EN-versions of the Eurocodes. The book addresses the design for a majority of composite bridge superstructures and guides readers through the selection of appropriate structural bridge systems. It introduces the loads on bridges and their combinations, proposes software supported analysis models, and outlines the required verifications for sections and members at ultimate and serviceability limit states, including fatigue and plate buckling, as well as seismic design of the deck and the bearings. It presents the main types of common composite bridges, discusses structural forms and systems, and describes preliminary design aids and erection methods. It provides information on railway bridges, but through the design examples makes road bridges the focal point. This text includes several design examples within the chapters, explores the structural details, summarizes the relevant design codes, discusses durability issues, presents the properties for structural materials, concentrates on modeling for global analysis, and lays down the rules for the shear connection. It presents fatigue analysis and design, fatigue load models, detail categories, and fatigue verifications for structural steel, reinforcement, concrete, and shear connectors. It also covers structural bearings and dampers, with an emphasis on reinforced elastomeric bearings. The book is appropriate for structural engineering students, bridge designers or practicing engineers converting from other codes to Eurocodes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In an era of new, composite materials and high-strength concrete, and with an increasing demand for sustainable building technologies, the importance of the role of steel in construction is being challenged.. Nonetheless, steel can successfully be used to refurbish and retrofit historical buildings, as well as being a material of choice for new building structures. Steel can effectively be combined with a variety of other materials to obtain structures which are characterized by a high-performance response under different types of static and dynamic activity. The proceedings contains nine keynote lectures from international experts, and is further divided into five sections: calculation models and methods; studies and advances in design codes; steel and mixed building technology; steel under exceptional actions; and steel in remarkable constructions and refurbishment.
