Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The New Mexico Department of Transportation (NMDOT) Bridge Section in conjunction with various NMDOT district engineers have documented settlement issues with bridge approach slabs, i.e., the ubiquitous "bump at the end of the bridge," as a pressing maintenance, safety, construction and design issue. A literature review identifies geotechnical issues with the natural soil foundation and the embankments as the leading contributor to "the bump." A field evaluation of 19 New Mexico bridges suggest that most, if not all, bump problems in the state are associated with geotechnical issues. The lengths of approach slabs in New Mexico are deemed too short. Recommendations for dealing with "the bump" are thorough geotechnical analysis and engineering implementation of this analysis in the design and construction of the natural soil foundation and embankment materials. High quality QA/QC (quality assurance-quality control) is absolutely required. Lengthening of approach slabs is also recommended.

Download or read book An Overview of Mitigation Strategies for Settlements Under Bridge Approach Slabs written by Raja Veerendra Yenigalla and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Settlement and heave related movements of bridge approach slabs relative to bridge decks create a bump in the roadway causing inconvenience to the travelling public and at times so large as to make travelling unsafe. Hence, it is important to adopt suitable remedial methods to mitigate the approach settlements so as to ensure safe traveling conditions and also to decrease the repair/maintenance costs. This thesis presents an overview of a few case studies on different mitigation techniques applied on bridge approach settlement problems at various locations in the state of Texas. The methods employed to mitigate the settlement including Polyurethane injection, soil nailing, and potential utilization of Geofoam and flowable fill are discussed. Also, the development of design charts for the construction of light weight fill embankments using Expanded Clay and Shale (ECS) aggregate material is presented. Methods on how to use the design charts for various embankments are also covered.
