Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to significant economic growth in the last few decades, increasing traffic loads impose tremendous demand on bridge structures. This, coupled with ongoing deterioration of bridges, introduces a unique challenge to bridge engineers in maintaining service of these infrastructure assets without disruption to vital economic and social activities. This requires innovative solutions and optimized methodologies to achieve safe and efficient operation of bridge structures. Bridge engineering practitioners, researchers, owners, and contractors from all over the world presented on modern techniques in design, inspection, monitoring and rehabilitation of bridge structures, at the Sixth New York City Bridge Conference held New York City on July 25-26, 2011. This book contains a select number of papers presented at the conference. This group of papers provides a state-of-the-art in bridge engineering and is of interest to any reader in the field.

Download or read book Innovative Bridge Design construction Techniques to Expedite Construction written by Richard A. Miller (Professional engineer) and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This project examined various methods of innovative bridge design and construction techniques to expedite construction. The following methods have been identified as possible method of reducing the time needed for bridge construction: precast substructures; prefabricated composite bridge units; prefabricated superstructure units, such as adjacent boxes, which do not need a separate wearing surface; full depth precast concrete decks; stay-in-place concrete or steel forms; completely prefabricated bridges; and, rapid curing concrete materials. The first 6 items have been tried in various states and the results of these trials can be found in an AASHTO Technology Implementation Group (TIG) report at www.ashtotig.org. In order to find additional information on barriers to rapid construction, a survey of contractors was conducted. This survey showed that the main obstacle to fast bridge construction is the forming of the deck. The contractors also indicated that the best way to build bridges faster was to allow the entire bridge to be closed and the reconstruction to occur all at one time. One possible solution to the deck forming problem is the use of stay-in-place steel deck forms. A survey of states showed that approximately 34 states use stay-in-place steel forms for decks. The main concerns about using these forms are the inability to inspect the underside of the deck, trapping moisture between the concrete and the form, deterioration of the form, and additional weight due to the flutes in the forms. However, those states which use SIP steel forms contend that all of these concerns can be overcome. An attempt was made to assess the cost of implementation, but as most of the techniques are still in a pilot phase, cost information was not available.

Download or read book 70 Years of China s Bridges written by Zhongfu Xiang and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2024-01-24 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book takes time as the axis, selecting 98 bridges (or bridge groups) across the country and 7 representative bridges out of the country, reflecting the steps and development of China's bridge construction in related majors and engineering technicians in colleges and universities. This book aims to let the general public understand the arduous history of China's bridge construction and the rapid development of China's bridge construction without the country's economic development, strength, and hard work of the bridge people. It is also hoped that the public will enjoy the convenience of bridges, highways, railroads, and urban roads and at the same time enhance their awareness of bridge knowledge, knowledge, love, and scientific use of bridges. This book is used by the general public to understand the development of China's bridge construction, but also as a reference book for teachers and students of bridge engineering-related majors and engineering technicians in colleges and universities.

Download or read book Behavior and Design of Trapezoidally Corrugated Web Girders for Bridge Construction written by Mostafa Fahmi Hassanein and published by Woodhead Publishing. This book was released on 2022-05-07 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Corrugated web girders (CWGs), used for bridge construction, differ in important ways from conventional prismatic girders. Behavior and Design of Trapezoidally Corrugated Web Girders for Bridge Construction details the behavior and design of CWGs in bridge construction and includes unique research into high-strength steel. The title gives a comprehensive review of the last decade in CWG design. In-depth explanations of key concepts are given — such as the accordion effect — that differentiate these girders from more conventional flat-webbed girders, and the authors also present specialized research into tubular flanged girders. The book distinguishes between prismatic and tapered CWGs, explains failure modes under both shear and flexure, and gives clear figures to illustrate these modes. The volume compares international building codes and offers recommendations for future research. Seven chapters cover –– An introduction to CWGs for bridge construction; Development of bridges with corrugated webs; Real boundary conditions between flange and web; Shear buckling behavior; Flexural buckling behavior; Recent erection methods and; Future research. - Enables the reader to understand advances and future directions in the behavior and design of CWGs for bridge building - Reviews advances in the behavior and design of CWGs - Explains concepts which make these girders different from conventional flat-webbed girders - Distinguishes between the behavior of prismatic and tapered CWGs - Considers the failure modes of girders under shear and flexure, as well as ultimate strength - Compares international codes — such as Eurocode 3 — in useful technical detail
