Download or read book Precast Segmental Box Girders written by Fadzli Mohamed Nazri and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-02-09 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the fundamentals of the elastic behaviour of erected precast segmental box girders (SBG) when subjected to static load, as well as the construction process (casting and erection work) involved. It analyzes and compares the experimental results with those obtained using the finite element method and theoretical calculations. A short-term deflection analysis for different loads is obtained by determining the maximum deflection, stress and strain value of single span precast SBG under a variety of transversal slope. The outcome of this work provides a better understanding of the behaviour of precast SBG in terms of structural responses as well as defects, so that maintenance work can then be focused on the critical section at mid span area specifically for the bridge project longitudinally and transversely. The book is of interest to industry professionals involved in conducting static load tests on bridges, and all researchers, designers, and engineers seeking to validate experimental work with numerical and analytical approaches.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Segmental concrete bridges have become one of the main options for major transportation projects world-wide. They offer expedited construction with minimal traffic disruption, lower life cycle costs, appealing aesthetics and adaptability to a curved roadway alignment. The literature is focused on construction, so this fills the need for a design-oriented book for less experienced bridge engineers and for senior university students. It presents comprehensive theory, design and key construction methods, with a simple design example based on the AASHTO LRFD Design Specifications for each of the main bridge types. It outlines design techniques and relationships between analytical methods, specifications, theory, design, construction and practice. It combines mathematics and engineering mechanics with the authors’ design and teaching experience.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Parapets placed on bridge deck surfaces, commonly known as barriers are purposes omitted from the structural analysis model for design or load rating. Barriers should not be considered primary structural members because they are designed to withstand the impact of a vehicular collision. After a forceful collision, a barrier may sustain some structural damage and would no longer support or strengthen the bridge deck. However, when completely intact, these secondary structural members do, significantly, absorb and distribute any applied load, thus acting as fully functional structural members. The amount that appurtenances, specifically parapets, contribute to deck strength is of interest to permitting agencies, such as the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT). For a concrete segmental box girder bridge, load ratings for oversized load permits are currently determined with a calculation that involves the transverse analysis of the bridge without factoring in the extra strength of fully intact appurtenances. Moreover, within the transverse analysis, the maximum moment generated from the live load is typically calculated from Homberg charts. These generalized influence surfaces were designed based on plate surface models and are conservative. When added to the standard 'error on the side of caution' design methods, this moment estimation and the lack of consideration for the appurtenances create a conservative transverse load rating for the bridge. With 3D finite element bridge models, created using LUSAS, it is shown, qualitatively and quantitatively, how much of an effect the barrier has on the live load distribution for three concrete segmental box girder bridges located in the Florida Keys. Data obtained from these models is directly compared to measurements obtained from FDOT load tests on the actual bridges and also to predictions made from Homberg influence surfaces. Modifying the current method of test rating, for structurally sound bridges, with fully functional appurtenances should interest permitting agencies and would prove beneficial to those transporting oversized loads.
