Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the design and construction of bridges, questions of sustainability, maintenance and durability become more and more important for European road administrations in addition to safety and serviceability issues. Therefore integral abutment bridges become highly attractive to designers, constructors and road administrations as they tend to be less expensive to build, easier to maintain and more economical to own over their lifetime. However in Europe less experience in building integral bridges has been gained so far. Therefore in 2005 the European RFCS-projects INTAB has been launched. Within the scope of the project, universities, consulting engineering companies as well as steel producers worked together to develop economic and safe solutions for composite bridges with integral abutments. Significant knowledge has been gained and cost-effective, environmentally friendly and sustainable bridge structures have been developed. Furthermore their durability has been proven to obtain competitive composite bridges for small and medium spans. The outcome of that project was reworked within the scope of the current project to make it available to a larger number of practitioners. To disseminate the knowledge, two workshops have been organised. A design guide was written and translated into German and French. It was completed by a design example as well as CEN-recommendations regarding actual Eurocodes. A software tool was written to help designers to perform some calculations regarding the design of integral abutment bridges. Finally a website was set up to establish a sustainable presence on the web where all information will be available in the future as well.
Download or read book Integral and Semi Integral Bridges written by Martin P Burke Jr and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2009-06-17 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Worldwide, integral type bridges are being used in greater numbersin lieu of jointed bridges because of their structural simplicity,first-cost economy, and outstanding durability. In the UK and theUS states of Tennessee and Missouri, for example, the constructionof most moderate length bridges is based on the integral bridgeconcept. The state of Washington uses semi-integral bridges almostexclusively, while, depending on subfoundation characteristics, thestate of Ohio and others use a mix of these two bridge types. Integral and Semi-Integral Bridges has been written by apracticing bridge design engineer who has spent his entire careerinvolved in the origination, evaluation and design of such bridgesin the USA, where they have been in use since the late1930’s. This work shows how the analytical complexity due tothe elimination of movable joints can be minimized to negligiblelevels so that most moderate length bridges can be easily andquickly modified or replaced with either integral or semi-integralbridges. Bridge design, construction, and maintenance engineers; bridgedesign administrators; graduate level engineering students andstructural research professionals will all find this bookexceptionally informative for a wide range of highway bridgeapplications.

This book was released on 2016-11-12 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although integral abutments bridges have been used successfully for 50 years, there are no uniform standards or policies regarding permissible bridge lengths, skews, details or design procedures. Their implementation is not an exact science, but rather a matter of intuition, experimentation and observation. Analysis and Design of Integral Abutment Bridges five-part treatment starts with a clear and rigorous with the types of Integral Abutment Bridges their common problems and code applications. This is quickly followed by applications for analytical methods and computer software including Lateral Load Analysis Techniques and Nonlinear Analysis of Integral Abutment Bridges. Next, the third part on the Methods of Design and Structural Details includes Foundations, Backfill and a section on Beam Design including steel, cast-in-place concrete beams and precast/prestressed concrete beams. With this book in hand, structural and bridge engineers will find a brief and valuable guide illustrating how these concepts are successfully applied in the real world. The latest published results on experimental, analytical, and field studies on the behaviour of integral abutment bridges and their components Unified guidelines based on activities such as the AASHTO/NCHRP joint taskforce, LRFD specs and FHWA-sponsored research study on Jointless Bridges The book contains sufficient coverage of the most critical behavioural aspects of integral abutment bridges, namely: Interaction between the foundation piles, the integral abutment, and the surrounding ground under cyclic loading due to temperature effects, dynamic earthquake loading, and shrinkage/creep Abutment displacements and associated earth pressure distribution Settlement of the approach fill

Book excerpt: This English translation of the successful French edition presents the conception and design of steel and steel-concrete composite bridges, from simple beam bridges to cable-supported structures. This book focuses primarily on road bridges, emphasizing the basis of their conception and the fundamentals that must be considered in order to assure structural safety and serviceability, as well as highlighting the necessary design checks. The principles are extended in later chapters to railway bridges as well as bridges for pedestrians and cyclists. For these structures, particular attention is paid to consideration of the dynamic performance. The assembly of the steel and the placing of the reinforced or pre-stressed concrete slab are explained while emphasizing their influence on the design of the structure.

This book was released on 2014-08-26 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The bridges are vital structures for the transport infrastructure. It is a fact that, in the last decades, composite bridges became a well-liked solution in many European countries as a cost-effective and aesthetic alternative to concrete bridges. Their competitiveness depends on several circumstances such as site conditions, local costs of material and staff and the contractor’s experience. Beside the classical solutions, the new ones with efficient design and construction improve and consolidate the market position of steel construction and steel producing industry. The book contains the technical description, the construction details, economic aspects and the results of monitoring and testing of already executed bridge structures implementing composite dowels realised within the research RFCS project entitled Eco Bridge.
