附录附录A 外文翻译第一部分英文原文4.2.2 Model that Failed in Punching ShearIt was realized that complete restraint in both the longitudinal and transversedirections is necessary for the development of the internal arching system in the deck slab. With this realization,another half-scale model of a two-girder bridge was built. This model also had a deck slab reinforced only by polypropylene fibres, and was very similar to the previous one, the main difference being that the top flangesof the girders were now interconnected by transverse steel straps lying outside the deck slab. A view of the steel work of this model can be seen in Fig. 4.7.These straps were provided so as to serve as transverse ties to the internal arch in the slab.The 100 mm thick slab of the model with transverse straps failed under a central load of 418 kN in a punching-shear failure mode. As can be seen in Fig. 4.8, the damaged area of the slab was highly localized. It can be appreciated that with such a high failure load, the thin deck slab of the half-scale model could have easily withstood the weights of even the heaviest wheel load of commercial vehicles.The model tests described above and in sub-section 4.2.1 clearly demonstrate that an internal arching action will indeed develop in a deck slab, but only if it is suitably restrained.4.2.3 Edge StiffeningA further appreciation of the deck slab arching action is provided by tests on a scale model of a skew slab-on-girder bridge. As will be discussed in sub-section 4.4.2, one transverse free edge of the deck slab of this model was stiffened by a composite steel channel with its web in the vertical plane. The other free edge was stiffened by a steel channel diaphragm with its web horizontal and connected to the deck slab through shear connectors. The deck slab near the former transverse edge failed in a mode that was a hybrid between punching shear and flexure. Tests near the composite diaphragm led to failure at a much higher load in punching shear (Bakht and Agarwal, 1993).The above tests confirmed yet again that the presence of the internal arching action in deck slabs induces high in-plane force effects which in turn demand stiffer restraint in the plane of the deck than in the out-of-plane direction.4.3 INTERNALLY RESTRAINED DECK SLABSDeck slabs which require embedded reinforcement for strength will now be referred to as internally restrained deck slabs. The state-of-art up to 1986 relating to the quantification and utilization of the beneficial internal arching action in deck slabs with steel reinforcement has been provided by Bakht and Markovic (1986). Their conclusions complemented with up-to-date information are presented in this chapter in a generally chronological order which, however, cannot be adhered to rigidlybecause of the simultaneous occurrence of some developments.4.3.1 Static Tests on Scale ModelsAbout three decades ago, the Structures Research Office of the Ministry of Transportation of Ontario (MTO), Canada, sponsored an extensive laboratory-based research program into the load carrying capacity of deck slabs; this research program was carried out at Queen's University, Kingston, Ontario. Most of this research was conducted through static tests on scale models of slab-on-girder bridges. This pioneering work is reported by Hewitt and Batchelor (1975) and later by Batchelor et al. (1985), and is summarized in the following.The inability of the concrete to sustain tensile strains, which leads to cracking, has been shown to be the main attribute which causes the compressive membrane forces to develop. This phenomenon is illustrated in Fig. 4.9 (a) which shows the part cross-section of slab-on-girder bridge under the action of a concentrated load.The cracking of the concrete, as shown in the figure, results in a net compressive force near the bottom face of the slab at each of the two girder locations. Midway between the girders, the net compressive force moves towards the top of the slab. It can be readily visualized that the transition of the net compressive force from near the top in the middle region, to near the bottom at the supports corresponds to the familiar arching action. Because of this internal arching action, the failure mode of a deck slab under a concentrated load becomes that of punching shear.If the material of the deck slab has the same stress-strain characteristics in both tension and compression, the slab will not crack and, as shown in Fig. 4.9 (b), will not develop the net compressive force and hence the arching action.In the punching shear type of failure, a frustum separates from the rest of the slab, as shown in schematically in Fig. 4.10. It is noted that in most failure tests, the diameter of the lower end of the frustrum extends to the vicinity of the girders.From analytical and confirmatory laboratory studies, it was established that the most significant factor influencing the failure load of a concrete deck slab is the confinement of the panel under consideration. It was concluded that this confinement is provided by the expanse of the slab beyond the loaded area; its degree was founddifficult to assess analytically. A restraint factor, η, was used as an empirical measure of the confinement; its value is equal to zero for the case of no confinement and 1.0 for full confinement.The effect of various parameters on the failure load can be seen in Table 4.1, which lists the theoretical failure loads for various cases. It can be seen that an increase of the restraint factor from 0.0 to 0.5 results in a very large increase in the failure load. The table also emphasizes the fact that neglect of the restraint factor causes a gross underestimation of the failure load.It was concluded that design for flexure leads to the inclusion of large amounts of unnecessary steel reinforcement in the deck slabs, and that even the minimum amount of steel required for crack control against volumetric changes in concrete is adequate to sustain modern-day, and even future, highway vehicles of North America.It was recommended that for new construction, the reinforcement in a deck slab should be in two layers, with each layer consisting of an orthogonal mesh having the same area of reinforcement in each direction. The area of steel reinforcement in each direction of a mesh was suggested to be 0.2% of the effective area of cross-section of the slab. This empirical method of design was recommended for deck slabs with certain constraints.4.3.2 Pulsating Load Tests on Scale ModelsTo study the fatigue strength of deck slabs with reduced reinforcement, five small scale models with different reinforcement ratios in different panels were tested at the Queen's University at Kingston. Details of this study are reported by Batchelor et al. (1978).Experimental investigation confirmed that for loads normally encountered in North America deck slabs with both conventional and recommended reducedreinforcement have large reserve strengths against failure by fatigue. It was confirmed that the reinforcement in the deck slab should be as noted in sub-section 4.3.1. It is recalled that the 0.2% reinforcement requires that the deck slab must have a minimum restraint factor of 0.5.The work of Okada, et al. (1978) also deals with fatigue tests on full scale models of deck slabs and segments of severely cracked slab removed from eight to ten year old bridges. The application of these test results to deck slabs of actual bridges is open to question because test specimens were removed from the original structures in such a way that they did not retain the confinement necessary for the development of the arching action.4.3.3 Field TestingAlong with the studies described in the preceding sub-section, a program of field testing of the deck slabs of in-service bridges was undertaken by the Structures Research Office of the MTO. The testing consisted of subjecting deck slabs to single concentrated loads, simulating wheel loads, and monitoring the load-deflection characteristics of the slab. The testing is reported by Csagoly et al. (1978) and details of the testing equipment are given by Bakht and Csagoly (1979).Values of the restraint factor, η, were back-calculated from measured deflections.A summary of test results, given in Table 4.2, shows that the average value of η in composite bridges is greater than 0.75, while that for non-composite bridges is 0.42. It was concluded that for new construction, the restraint factor, η, can be assumed to have a minimum value of 0.5.Bakht (1981) reports that after the first application of a test load of high magnitude on deck slabs of existing bridges, a small residual deflection was observed in most cases. Subsequent applications of the same load did not result in further residual deflections. It is postulated that the residual deflections are caused by cracking of the concrete which, as discussed earlier, accompanies the development of the internal arching action. The residual deflections after the first cycle of loading suggest that either the slab was never subjected to loads high enough to cause cracking, or the cracks have 'healed' with time.第二部分汉语翻译4.2.2 在冲切剪应力下的实效模型我们已经知道在桥面板内部拱形系统的形成中,不仅纵向而且横向也被完全约束限制是完全必要的。

It can cover a range of spans from25 m up to the largest non—suspended concrete decks built, of the order of 300 m。
Single box girders may also carry decks up to 30 m wide。
For the longer span beams, beyond about 50 m,they are practically the only feasible deck section. For the shorter spans they are in competition with most of the other deck types discussed in this book.The advantages of the box form are principally its high structural efficiency (5.4),which minimises the prestress force required to resist a given bending moment,and its great torsional strength with the capacity this gives to re—centre eccentric live loads,minimising the prestress required to carry them。
The box form lends itself to many of the highly productive methods of bridge construction that have been progressively refined over the last 50 years,such as precast segmental construction with or without epoxy resin in the joints,balanced cantilever erection either cast in—situ or coupled with precast segmental construction, and incremental launching (Chapter 15)。

附录一英文翻译原文AUTOMATIC DEFLECTION AND TEMPERATURE MONITORING OFA BALANCED CANTILEVER CONCRETE BRIDGEby Olivier BURDET, Ph.D.Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, SwitzerlandInstitute of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete SUMMARYThere is a need for reliable monitoring systems to follow the evolution of the behavior of structures over time.Deflections and rotations are values that reflect the overall structure behavior. This paper presents an innovative approach to the measurement of long-term deformations of bridges by use of inclinometers. High precision electronic inclinometers can be used to follow effectively long-term rotations without disruption of the traffic. In addition to their accuracy, these instruments have proven to be sufficiently stable over time and reliable for field conditions. The Mentue bridges are twin 565 m long box-girder post-tensioned concrete highway bridges under construction in Switzerland. The bridges are built by the balanced cantilever method over a deep valley. The piers are 100 m high and the main span is 150 m. A centralized data acquisition system was installed in one bridge during its construction in 1997. Every minute, the system records the rotation and temperature at a number of measuring points. The simultaneous measurement of rotations and concrete temperature at several locations gives a clear idea of the movements induced by thermal conditions. The system will be used in combination with a hydrostatic leveling setup to follow the long-term behavior of the bridge. Preliminary results show that the system performs reliably and that the accuracy of the sensors is excellent.Comparison of the evolution of rotations and temperature indicate that the structure responds to changes in air temperature rather quickly.1.BACKGROUNDAll over the world, the number of structures in service keeps increasing. With the development of traffic and the increased dependence on reliable transportation, it is becoming more and more necessary to foresee and anticipate the deterioration of structures. In particular,for structures that are part of major transportation systems, rehabilitation works need to be carefully planned in order to minimize disruptions of traffic. Automatic monitoring of structures is thus rapidly developing.Long-term monitoring of bridges is an important part of this overall effort to attempt to minimize both the impact and the cost of maintenance and rehabilitation work of major structures. By knowing the rate of deterioration of a given structure, the engineer is able to anticipate and adequately define the timing of required interventions. Conversely, interventions can be delayed until the condition of the structure requires them, without reducing the overall safety of the structure.The paper presents an innovative approach to the measurement of long-term bridge deformations. The use of high precision inclinometers permits an effective, accurate and unobtrusive following of the long-term rotations. The measurements can be performed under traffic conditions. Simultaneous measurement of the temperature at several locations gives a clear idea of the movements induced by thermal conditions and those induced by creep and shrinkage. The system presented is operational since August 1997 in the Mentue bridge, currently under construction in Switzerland. The structure has a main span of 150 m and piers 100 m high.2. LONG-TERM MONITORING OF BRIDGESAs part of its research and service activities within the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), IBAP - Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete has been involved in the monitoring of long-time deformations of bridges and other structures for over twenty-five years [1, 2, 3, 4]. In the past, IBAP has developed a system for the measurement of long-term deformations using hydrostatic leveling [5, 6]. This system has been in successful service in ten bridges in Switzerland for approximately ten years [5,7]. The system is robust, reliable and sufficiently accurate, but it requires human intervention for each measurement, and is not well suited for automatic data acquisition. One additional disadvantage of this system is that it is only easily applicable to box girder bridges with an accessible box.Occasional continuous measurements over periods of 24 hours have shown that the amplitude of daily movements is significant, usually amounting to several millimeters over a couple of hours. This is exemplified in figure 1, where measurements of the twin Lutrive bridges, taken over a period of several years before and after they were strengthened by post-tensioning, areshown along with measurements performed over a period of 24 hours. The scatter observed in the data is primarily caused by thermal effects on the bridges. In the case of these box-girder bridges built by the balanced cantilever method, with a main span of 143.5 m, the amplitude of deformations on a sunny day is of the same order of magnitude than the long term deformation over several years.Instantaneous measurements, as those made by hydrostatic leveling, are not necessarily representative of the mean position of the bridge. This occurs because the position of the bridge at the time of the measurement is influenced by the temperature history over the past several hours and days. Even if every care was taken to perform the measurements early in the morning and at the same period every year, it took a relatively long time before it was realized that the retrofit performed on the Lutrive bridges in 1988 by additional post-tensioning [3, 7,11] had not had the same effect on both of them.Figure 1: Long-term deflections of the Lutrive bridges, compared to deflections measured in a 24-hour period Automatic data acquisition, allowing frequent measurements to be performed at an acceptable cost, is thus highly desirable. A study of possible solutions including laser-based leveling, fiber optics sensors and GPS-positioning was performed, with the conclusion that, provided that their long-term stability can be demonstrated, current types of electronic inclinometers are suitable for automatic measurements of rotations in existing bridges [8].3. MENTUE BRIDGESThe Mentue bridges are twin box-girder bridges that will carry the future A1 motorway from Lausanne to Bern. Each bridge, similar in design, has an overall length of approximately 565 m, and a width of 13.46 m, designed to carry two lanes of traffic and an emergency lane. The bridges cross a deep valley with steep sides (fig. 2). The balanced cantilever design results from a bridge competition. The 100 m high concrete piers were built using climbing formwork, after which the construction of the balanced cantilever started (fig. 3).4. INCLINOMETERSStarting in 1995, IBAP initiated a research project with the goal of investigating the feasibility of a measurement system using inclinometers. Preliminary results indicated that inclinometers offer several advantages for the automatic monitoring of structures. Table 1 summarizes the main properties of the inclinometers selected for this study.One interesting property of measuring a structure’s rotations, is that, for a given ratio of maximum deflection to span length, the maximum rotation is essentially independent from its static system [8]. Since maximal allowable values of about 1/1,000 for long-term deflections under permanent loads are generally accepted values worldwide, developments made for box-girder bridges with long spans, as is the case for this research, are applicable to other bridges, for instance bridges with shorter spans and other types of cross-sections. This is significant because of the need to monitor smaller spans which constitute the majority of all bridges.The selected inclinometers are of type Wyler Zerotronic ±1°[9]. Their accuracy is 1 microradian (μrad), which corresponds to a rotation of one millimeter per kilometer, a very small value. For an intermediate span of a continuous beam with a constant depth, a mid-span deflection of 1/20,000 would induce a maximum rotation of about 150 μrad, or 0.15 milliradians (mrad).One potential problem with electronic instruments is that their measurements may drift overtime. To quantify and control this problem, a mechanical device was designed allowing the inclinometers to be precisely rotated of 180° in an horizontal plane (fig. 4). The drift of each inclinometer can be very simply obtained by comparing the values obtained in the initial and rotated position with previously obtained values. So far, it has been observed that the type of inclinometer used in this project is not very sensitive to drifting.5. INSTRUMENTATION OF THE MENTUE BRIDGESBecause a number of bridges built by the balanced cantilever method have shown an unsatisfactory behavior in service [2, 7,10], it was decided to carefully monitor the evolution of the deformations of the Mentue bridges. These bridges were designed taking into consideration recent recommendations for the choice of the amount of posttensioning [7,10,13]. Monitoring starting during the construction in 1997 and will be pursued after the bridges are opened to traffic in 2001. Deflection monitoring includes topographic leveling by the highway authorities, an hydrostatic leveling system over the entire length of both bridges and a network of inclinometers in the main span of the North bridge. Data collection iscoordinated by the engineer of record, to facilitate comparison of measured values. The information gained from these observations will be used to further enhance the design criteria for that type of bridge, especially with regard to the amount of post-tensioning [7, 10, 11, 12, 13].The automatic monitoring system is driven by a data acquisition program that gathers and stores the data. This system is able to control various types of sensors simultaneously, at the present time inclinometers and thermal sensors. The computer program driving all the instrumentation offers a flexible framework, allowing the later addition of new sensors or data acquisition systems. The use of the development environment LabView [14] allowed to leverage the large user base in the field of laboratory instrumentation and data analysis. The data acquisition system runs on a rather modest computer, with an Intel 486/66 Mhz processor, 16 MB of memory and a 500 MB hard disk, running Windows NT. All sensor data are gathered once per minute and stored in compressed form on the hard disk. The system is located in the box-girder on top of pier 3 (fig. 5). It can withstand severe weather conditions and will restart itself automatically after a power outage, which happened frequently during construction.6. SENSORSFigure 5(a) shows the location of the inclinometers in the main span of the North bridge. The sensors are placed at the axis of the supports (①an d⑤), at 1/4 and 3/4 (③an d④) of the span and at 1/8 of the span for②. In the cross section, the sensors are located on the North web, at a height corresponding to the center of gravity of the section (fig.5a). The sensors are all connected by a single RS-485 cable to the central data acquisition system located in the vicinity of inclinometer ①. Monitoring of the bridge started already during its construction. Inclinometers①,②and③were installed before the span was completed. The resulting measurement were difficult to interpret, however, because of the wide variations of angles induced by the various stages of this particular method of construction.The deflected shape will be determined by integrating the measured rotations along the length of the bridge (fig.5b). Although this integration is in principle straightforward, it has been shown [8, 16] that the type of loading and possible measurement errors need to be carefully taken into account.Thermal sensors were embedded in concrete so that temperature effects could be taken into account for the adjustment of the geometry of the formwork for subsequent casts. Figure 6 shows the layout of thermal sensors in the main span. The measurement sections are located at the same sections than the inclinometers (fig. 5). All sensors were placed in the formwork before concreting and were operational as soon as the formwork was removed, which was required for the needs of the construction. In each section, seven of the nine thermal sensor (indicated in solid black in fig. 6) are now automatically measured by the central data acquisition system.7. RESULTSFigure 7 shows the results of inclinometry measurements performed from the end ofSeptember to the third week of November 1997. All inclinometers performed well during that period. Occasional interruptions of measurement, as observed for example in early October are due to interruption of power to the system during construction operations. The overall symmetry of results from inclinometers seem to indicate that the instruments drift is not significant for that time period. The maximum amplitude of bridge deflection during the observed period, estimated on the basis of the inclinometers results, is around 40 mm. More accurate values will be computed when the method of determination ofdeflections will have been further calibrated with other measurements. Several periods of increase, respectively decrease, of deflections over several days can be observed in the graph. This further illustrates the need for continuous deformation monitoring to account for such effects. The measurement period was .busy. in terms of construction, and included the following operations: the final concrete pours in that span, horizontal jacking of the bridge to compensate some pier eccentricities, as well as the stressing of the continuity post-tensioning, and the de-tensioning of the guy cables (fig. 3). As a consequence, the interpretation of these measurements is quite difficult. It is expected that further measurements, made after the completion of the bridge, will be simpler to interpret.Figure 8 shows a detail of the measurements made in November, while figure.9 shows temperature measurements at the top and bottom of the section at mid-span made during that same period. It is clear that the measured deflections correspond to changes in the temperature. The temperature at the bottom of the section follows closely variations of the air temperature(measured in the shade near the north web of the girder). On the other hand, the temperature at the top of the cross section is less subject to rapid variations. This may be due to the high elevation of the bridge above ground, and also to the fact that, during the measuring period, there was little direct sunshine on the deck. The temperature gradient between top and bottom of the cross section has a direct relationship with short-term variations. It does not, however, appear to be related to the general tendency to decrease in rotations observed in fig. 8.8. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTSFuture developments will include algorithms to reconstruct deflections from measured rotations. To enhance the accuracy of the reconstruction of deflections, a 3D finite element model of the entire structure is in preparation [15]. This model will be used to identify the influence on rotations of various phenomena, such as creep of the piers and girder, differential settlements, horizontal and vertical temperature gradients or traffic loads.Much work will be devoted to the interpretation of the data gathered in the Mentue bridge. The final part of the research project work will focus on two aspects: understanding the very complex behavior of the structure, and determining the most important parameters, to allow a simple and effective monitoring of the bridges deflections.Finally, the research report will propose guidelines for determination of deflections from measured rotations and practical recommendations for the implementation of measurement systems using inclinometers. It is expected that within the coming year new sites will be equipped with inclinometers. Experiences made by using inclinometers to measure deflections during loading tests [16, 17] have shown that the method is very flexible and competitive with other high-tech methods.As an extension to the current research project, an innovative system for the measurement of bridge joint movement is being developed. This system integrates easily with the existing monitoring system, because it also uses inclinometers, although from a slightly different type.9. CONCLUSIONSAn innovative measurement system for deformations of structures using high precision inclinometers has been developed. This system combines a high accuracy with a relatively simple implementation. Preliminary results are very encouraging and indicate that the use of inclinometers to monitor bridge deformations is a feasible and offers advantages. The system is reliable, does not obstruct construction work or traffic and is very easily installed. Simultaneous temperature measurements have confirmed the importance of temperature variations on the behavior of structural concrete bridges.10.

外文资料The Tenth East Asia-Pacific Conference on Structural Engineering and ConstructionAugust 3-5, 2006, Bangkok, ThailandStructural Rehabilitation of Concrete Bridges with CFRPComposites-Practical Details and ApplicationsRiyad S. ABOUTAHA1, and Nuttawat CHUTARAT2 ABSTRACT: Many old existing bridges are still active in the various highway transportation networks, carrying heavier and faster trucks, in all kinds of environments. Water, salt, and wind have caused damage to these old bridges, and scarcity of maintenance funds has aggravated their conditions. One attempt to restore the original condition; and to extend the service life of concrete bridges is by the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites. There appear to be very limited guides on repair of deteriorated concrete bridges with CFRP composites. In this paper, guidelines for nondestructive evaluation (NDE), nondestructive testing (NDT), and rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete bridges with CFRP composites are presented. The effect of detailing on ductility and behavior of CFRP strengthened concrete bridges are also discussed and presented.KEYWORDS: Concrete deterioration, corrosion of steel, bridge rehabilitation, CFRP composites.1 IntroductionThere are several destructive external environmental factors that limit the service life of bridges. These factors include but not limited to chemical attacks, corrosion of reinforcing steel bars, carbonation of concrete, and chemical reaction of aggregate. If bridges were not well maintained, these factors may lead to a structural deficiency, which reduces the margin of safety, and may result in structural failure. In order to rehabilitate and/or strengthen deteriorated existing bridges, thorough evaluation should be conducted. The purpose of the evaluation is to assess the actual condition of any existing bridge, and generally to examine the remaining strength and load carry capacity of the bridge.1 Associate Professor, Syracuse University, U.S.A.2 Lecturer, Sripatum University, Thailand.One attempt to restore the original condition, and to extend the service life of concrete bridges is by the use of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites.In North America, Europe and Japan, CFRP has been extensively investigated and applied. Several design guides have been developed for strengthening of concrete bridges with CFRP composites. However, there appear to be very limited guides on repair of deteriorated concrete bridges with CFRP composites. This paper presents guidelines for repair of deteriorated concrete bridges, along with proper detailing. Evaluation, nondestructive testing, and rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete bridges with CFRP composites are presented. Successful application of CFRP composites requires good detailing as the forces developed in the CFRP sheets are transferred by bond at the concrete-CFRP interface. The effect of detailing on ductility and behavior of CFRP strengthened concrete bridges will also be discussed and presented.2 Deteriorated Concrete BridgesDurability of bridges is of major concern. Increasing number of bridges are experiencing significant amounts of deterioration prior to reaching their design service life. This premature deterioration considered a problem in terms of the structural integrity and safety of the bridge. In addition, deterioration of a bridge has a considerable magnitude of costs associated with it. In many cases, the root of a deterioration problem is caused by corrosion of steel reinforcement in concrete structures. Concrete normally acts to provide a high degree of protection against corrosion of the embedded reinforcement. However, corrosion will result in those cases that typically experience poor concrete quality, inadequate design or construction, and harsh environmental conditions. If not treated a durability problem, e.g. corrosion, may turn into a strength problem leading to a structural deficiency, as shown in Figure1.Figure1 Corrosion of the steel bars is leading to a structural deficiency3 Non-destructive Testing of Deteriorated Concrete Bridge PiersIn order to design a successful retrofit system, the condition of the existing bridge should be thoroughly evaluated. Evaluation of existing bridge elements or systems involves review of the asbuilt drawings, as well as accurate estimate of the condition of the existing bridge, as shown in Figure2. Depending on the purpose of evaluation, non-destructive tests may involve estimation of strength, salt contents, corrosion rates, alkalinity in concrete, etc.Figure2 Visible concrete distress marked on an elevation of a concrete bridge pier Although most of the non-destructive tests do not cause any damage to existing bridges, some NDT may cause minor local damage (e.g. drilled holes & coring) that should be repaired right after the NDT. These tests are also referred to as partial destructive tests but fall under non-destructive testing.In order to select the most appropriate non-destructive test for a particular case, thepurpose of the test should be identified. In general, there are three types of NDT to investigate: (1) strength, (2) other structural properties, and (3) quality and durability. The strength methods may include; compressive test (e.g. core test/rebound hammer/ ultrasonic pulse velocity), surface hardness test (e.g. rebound hammer), penetration test (e.g. Windsor probe), and pullout test (anchor test).Other structural test methods may include; concrete cover thickness (cover-meter), locating rebars (rebar locator), rebar size (some rebar locators/rebar data scan), concrete moisture (acquameter/moisture meter), cracking (visual test/impact echo/ultrasonic pulse velocity), delamination (hammer test/ ultrasonic pulse velocity/impact echo), flaws and internal cracking (ultrasonic pulse velocity/impact echo), dynamic modulus of elasticity (ultrasonic pulse velocity), Possion’s ratio (ultrasonic pulse velocity), thickness of concrete slab or wall (ultrasonic pulse velocity), CFRP debonding (hammer test/infrared thermographic technique), and stain on concrete surface (visual inspection).Quality and durability test methods may include; rebar corrosion rate –field test, chloride profile field test, rebar corrosion analysis, rebar resistivity test, alkali-silica reactivity field test, concrete alkalinity test (carbonation field test), concrete permeability (field test for permeability).4 Non-destructive Evaluation of Deteriorated Concrete Bridge PiersThe process of evaluating the structural condition of an existing concrete bridge consists of collecting information, e.g. drawings and construction & inspection records, analyzing NDT data, and structural analysis of the bridge. The evaluation process can be summarized as follows: (1) Planning for the assessment, (2) Preliminary assessment, which involves examination of available documents, site inspection, materials assessment, and preliminary analysis, (3) Preliminary evaluation, this involves: examination phase, and judgmental phase, and finally (4) the cost-impact study.If the information is insufficient to conduct evaluation to a specific required level, then a detailed evaluation may be conducted following similar steps for the above-mentioned preliminary assessment, but in-depth assessment. Successful analytical evaluation of an existing deteriorated concrete bridge should consider the actual condition of the bridge and level of deterioration of various elements. Factors, e.g. actual concrete strength, level of damage/deterioration, actual size of corroded rebars, loss of bond between steel and concrete, etc. should be modeled into a detailed analysis. If such detailed analysis is difficult to accomplish within a reasonable period of time, thenevaluation by field load testing of the actual bridge in question may be required.5 Bridge Rehabilitation with CFRP CompositesApplication of CFRP composite materials is becoming increasingly attractive to extend the service life of existing concrete bridges. The technology of strengthening existing bridges with externally bonded CFRP composites was developed primarily in Japan (FRP sheets), and Europe (laminates). The use of these materials for strengthening existing concrete bridges started in the 1980s, first as a substitute to bonded steel plates, and then as a substitute for steel jackets for seismic retrofit of bridge columns. CFRP Composite materials are composed of fiber reinforcement bonded together with a resin matrix. The fibers provide the composite with its unique structural properties. The resin matrix supports the fibers, protect them, and transfer the applied load to the fibers through shearing stresses. Most of the commercially available CFRP systems in the construction market consist of uniaxial fibers embedded in a resin matrix, typically epoxy. Carbon fibers have limited ultimate strain, which may limit the deformability of strengthened members. However, under traffic loads, local debonding between FRP sheets and concrete substrate would allow for acceptable level of global deformations before failure.CFRP composites could be used to increase the flexural and shear strength of bridge girders including pier cap beams, as shown in Figure3. In order to increase the ductility of CFRP strengthened concrete girders, the longitudinal CFRP composite sheets used for flexural strengthening should be anchored with transverse/diagonal CFRP anchors to prevent premature delamination of the longitudinal sheets due to localized debonding at the concrete surface-CFRP sheet interface. In order to prevent stress concentration and premature fracture of the CFRP sheets at the corners of concrete members, the corners should be rounded at 50mm (2.0 inch) radius, as shown in Figure3.Deterioration of concrete bridge members due to corrosion of steel bars usually leads in loss of steel section and delamination of concrete cover. As a result, such deterioration may lead to structural deficiency that requires immediate attention. Figure4 shows rehabilitation of structurally deficient concrete bridge pier using CFRP composites.Figure3 Flexural and shear strengthening of concrete bridge pier with FRP compositesFigure4 Rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete bridge pier with CFRP composites6 Summary and ConclusionsEvaluation, non-destructive testing and rehabilitation of deteriorated concrete bridges were presented. Deterioration of concrete bridge components due to corrosion may lead to structural deficiencies, e.g. flexural and/or shear failures. Application of CFRP composite materials is becoming increasingly attractive solution to extend the service life of existing concrete bridges. CFRP composites could be utilized for flexural and shear strengthening, as well as for restoration of deteriorated concrete bridge components. The CFRP composite sheets should be well detailed to prevent stress concentration and premature fracture or delamination. For successful rehabilitation of concrete bridges in corrosive environments, a corrosion protection system should be used along with the CFRP system.第十届东亚太结构工程设计与施工会议2006年8月3-5号,曼谷,泰国碳纤维复合材料修复混凝土桥梁结构的详述及应用Riyad S.

桥梁工程毕业论文英文Title: Analysis and Design of Bridge StructuresAbstract:Bridge engineering is an integral part of civil engineering and plays a crucial role in connecting communities and facilitating transportation. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze and design bridge structures, focusing on key components such as foundations, superstructures, and substructures. The analysis includes evaluating the structural behavior and load carrying capacity through the utilization of various analytical tools. Furthermore, the design phase encompasses selecting suitable materials and designing components to meet safety and durability requirements. The study serves as a comprehensive guide to understanding the principles and processes involved in bridge engineering.1. IntroductionBridges are vital infrastructure that connects people, places, and economies. The study of bridge engineering involves the application of core principles like physics, materials science, and mathematics todesign and construct safe and efficient bridge structures. This thesis aims to provide an overview of the analysis and design principles involved in bridge engineering.2. Structural AnalysisThe analysis of bridge structures is crucial to ensure their safety and functionality. This chapter presents various analytical techniques for evaluating bridge behavior. The use of finite element analysis, structural modeling, and computer-aided design software is discussed in detail. Different load types and load combinations are also considered to determine the resilience and load carrying capacity of the bridge.3. Foundation DesignThe foundation is a critical component of any bridge structure, as it transfers the loads from the superstructure to the underlying ground. This chapter explores various foundation types, such as shallow foundations, deep foundations, and pile foundations. Design considerations, including soil mechanics, bearing capacity, settlement analysis, and groundwater conditions, are discussed. The use ofgeotechnical engineering software to simulate and optimize foundation design is also explored.4. Superstructure DesignThe superstructure refers to the portion of the bridge that supports the traffic loads and transfers them to the substructure. This chapter discusses the different types of superstructures, including beam bridges, truss bridges, and arch bridges. The selection of materials, such as concrete, steel, and composite materials, is analyzed based on their structural properties and cost-effectiveness. The design process incorporates the calculation of load distribution, structural stability, and deflection limits.5. Substructure DesignThe substructure comprises the bridge piers, abutments, and retaining walls, which provide support to the superstructure. This chapter focuses on the design considerations for substructures, including the selection of suitable materials, analysis of load distribution, and evaluation of stability against various forces and environmental conditions. Design principles for reinforced concrete and masonry substructures are explored, along with mitigationstrategies for potential issues such as scour and seismic activity.6. Safety and DurabilityEnsuring safety and durability is of utmost importance in bridge engineering. This chapter discusses the necessary steps for evaluating the safety of bridge structures, including factor of safety calculations, failure mode analysis, and risk assessment procedures. The discussion also includes guidelines for maintenance and inspection to ensure long-term performance and durability.7. ConclusionThis thesis provides an in-depth analysis and design framework for bridge structures. By comprehensively exploring the key components of bridges, including foundations, superstructures, and substructures, it provides valuable insights into the principles and processes involved in bridge engineering. The knowledge gained from this study will contribute to the safe and efficient design and construction of future bridge projects.。

In man cases, to accommodate the foreseeable future demand would destroy the character of the whole urban environment, and is clearly unacceptable.the traffic problem is of world-wide concern, but different countries are obviously at different stages in the traffic escalation-with America in the lead, while a county has few roads and a relatively low problem, as soon as the country is opened up by a road system, the standard of living and the demand for motor transport both rise, gathering momentum rapidly. eventually-and the stage at which this happens is open to considerable debate-the demand for cars, buses and lorries become satiated. the stage is known as saturation level.For comparison ,car ownership figures in different countries in 1970 were:India cars/personIsrael personJapan cars/personIreland cars/personNetherlands cars/personGreat Britain cars/personWest Germany cars/personAustralia cars/personUSA cars/personBut the growth in vehicle ownership is only part of the overall traffic problem. obviously,if a country has unlimited roads of extreme width, the traffic problem would not rise. no country in the world could meet this requirement: apart from anything else, it would not make economic for each vehicle using the roads. This figure is decreasing steadily.Three possible solutionsThe basic problem of traffic is therefore simple-an ever-increasing number of vehicles seeking to use too little roade space. the solution to the problem-is else a not-too-difficult choice from three possiblilities:build, sufficient roads of sufficient size to cope with the demand.Restrict the demand for roads by restricting the numbers of licensed vehicles.A compromise between (a) and (b) build some extra roads, using the and the existing road network to their full potential, and at the same time apply some restraint measures, limiting, the increase in demand as far as possible.With no visible end to the demand yet in sight, and 216 with modern road-making costs ranging around £1 million per kilometer cost of building roads in Britain to cope with an unrestricted demand would be far too great. added to this, such clossal use of space in a crowed island cannot be, seriously considered. in Los Angeles, a city built around the parking space for, the automobile. our citie are already largely built-and no one would consider ruining their character by pulling them down and rebuilding around the car, thus the first possible soluting is rule out.Even today,in an age of at least semi-affluence in most of the Western World, the car is still to some extent a status symbol, a symbol of family wants to own one, and takes steps saving or borrowing-to get one. as incomes and standards rise thesecond car becomes the target. any move to restrict the acquisition of the private car would be most unpopular-and politically unlikely.For many purpose the flexibility of the private car-conceptually affording door-to-door personal transport is ideal, and its use can be accommodate. for the mass, movement of people along specific corridors within a limited period of .. particularly the journey to work it may be less easily accommodated. other transport mode may be more efficient. some sort of compromise solution is the inevitable answer to the basic traffic problem .it is in the execution of the compromise solution that, traffic engineering comes into its own. traffic engineering ensures that any new facilities are not over-deigned and are correctly located to meet the demand. it ensures that the existing facilities are fully used, in the most efficient manner. the fulfillment of these duties may entail the selective throttling of demand: making the use of the car less attractive in the peak periods in order that the limited road space can be more efficiently used by public transport.Such restraint measures will often be accompanied by improvements in the public transport services, to accommodate the extra demand for them.Prestressed Concrete BridgesPrestressed concrete has been used extensively in . bridge construction since its first Introduction from Europe in the late 1940s. Literally thousands of highway bridges of both precast, prestressed concrete and cast-in-place post-tensioned concrete has been constructed in the United States. Railroad bridges utilizing prastressed concrete have become common as well. The use and evolution of prastressed concrete bridges is expected to continue in the years ahead.Short-span BridgesShort-span bridges will be assumed to have a maximum of 45 ft .It should be understood that this is an arbitrary figure, and there is no definite line of demarcation between short, moderate, and long spans in highway bridges. Short-span bridges are most efficiently made of precast ,prestressed-concrete hollow slabs, I-beams, solid slabs or cast-place solid slabs. and T-beams of relatively generous proportions.Precast solid slabs are most economical when used on very short spans. The slabs can be made in any convenient width,but widths of 3 or 4 ft to have been frequently are cast in the longitudinal sides of the precast units. After the slabs have been erected and the joints between the slabs have been filled with concrete, the keys transfer live load shear forces between the adjacent slabs.Precast hollow slabs used in short-span bridges may have round or square voids. They too are generally made in units 3 to 4 ft to m) wide with thicknesses from 18 to 27 in to . Precast hollow slabs can be made in any convenient width and depth, and frequently are used in bridges having spans from 20 to 50 ft to . Longitudinal shear keys are used in the joints between adjacent hollow slabs in the same way as with solid slabs. Hollow slabs may or may not be used with a composite, cast-in-place concrete topping an accecptable appearance and levelness.Transverse reinforcement normally is provided in precast concrete bridge superstructures for the purpose of tying the structure together in the transverse direction. Well-designed ties ensure that the individual longitudinal members forming the superstructure will act as a unit under the effects of the live load. In slab bridge construction, transverse ties most frequently consist of threaded steel bars placed through small holes formed transversely through the member during fabrication. Nuts frequently are used as fasteners at each end of the bars. In some instances, the transverse ties consist of post tensionedtendons placed, stressed, and grouted after the slabs have been erected. The transverse tie usually extends from one side of the bridge to the other.The shear forces imposed on the stringers in short-span bridges frequently are too large to be resisted by the concrete alone. Hence, shear reinforcement normally is required. The amount of shear reinforcement required may be relatively large if the webs of the stringers are relatively thin.Concrete diaphragms, reinforced with post-tensioned reinforcement or nonprestressed reinforcement, normally are provided transversely at the ends and at intermediate locations along the span in stringer-type bridges. The disaphragms ensure the lateral-distribution of the live load to the various stringers and prevent individual stringers from displacing or rotating significantly with respect to the adjacent stringers.No generalities will be made here about the relative cost of each of the above types of construction; construction costs are a function of many variables which prohibit meaningful generalizations. However, it should be noted that the stringer type of construction requires a considerably greater construction depth that is required for solid, hollow, or channel slab bridge superstructures. Stringer construction does not require a separate wearing surface, as do the precast slab types of construction, unless precast slabs are used to span between the stringers in lieu of the more commonly used cast-in-place reinforced concrete deck. Stringer construction frequently requires smaller quantities of superstructure materials than do slab bridges (unless the spans are very short). The construction time needed to complete a bridge after the precast members have been erected is greater with stringer framing than with the slab type of framing.Bridges Of Moderate SpanAgain for the purpose of this discussion only, moderate spans for bridges of prestressed concrete are defined as beingfrom 45 to 80 ft to . Prestressed concrete bridges in this span range generally can be divided into two types: stringer-type bridges and slab-type bridges. The majority of the precast prestressed concrete bridges constructed in the United States have been stringer bridges using I-shaped stringers, but a large number of precast prestressed concrete bridges have been constructed with precast hollow-box girders (sometimes also called stringers). Cast-in-place post-tensioned concrete has been used extensively in the construction of hollow-box girder bridges-a form of construction that can be considered to be a slab bridge.Stringer bridges, which employ a composite, cast-in-place deck slab, have been used in virtually all parts of the United States. These stringers normally are used at spacing s of about 5 to 6 ft to . The cast-in-place deck is generally from to in to in thickness. This type of framing is very much the same as that used on composite-stringer construction for short-span bridges.Diaphram details in moderate-span bridges are generally similar to those of the short spans, with the exception that two or three interior diaphragms sometime are used, rather than just one at midspan as in the short-span bridge.As in the case of short-span bridges, the minimum depth of construction in bridges of moderate span is obtained by using slab construction, which may be either solid – or hollow – box in cross section. Average construction depths are requires when stringers with large flanges are used in composite construction, and large construction depths are required when stringers with small bottom flanges are used. Composite construction may be developed through the use of cast-in-place concrete decks or with precast concrete decks. Lower quantities of materials normally are required with composite construction , and the dead weight of the superstructure normally is less for stringer construction than for slab construction.Long-Span BridgesPrestressed concrete bridges having spans of the order of 100ft are of the same general types of construction as structures having moderate span lengths, with the single exception that solid slabs are not used for long spans. The stringer spacings are frequently greater (with stringers at 7 to 9 ft) as the span lengths of bridges increase. Because of dead weight considerations, precast hollow-box construction generally is employed for spans of this length only when the depth of construction must be minimized. Cast-in-place post-tensioned hollow-box bridges with simple and continuous spans frequently are used for spans on the order of 100 ft and longer.Simple, precast, prestressed stringer construction would be economical in the United States in the spans up to 300 ft under some conditions. However, only limited use has been made of this type of construction on spans greater than 100 ft. For very long simple spans, the advantage of precasting frequently is nullified by the difficulties involved in handling, transporting, and erecing the girders, which may have depths as great as 10 ft and weigh over 200 tons. The exceptions to this occur on large projects where all of the spans are over water of sufficient depth and character that precast beams can be handled with floating equipment, when custom girder launchers can be used, and when segmental construction techniques can be used.The use of cast-in-place , post-tensioned, box-girder bridges has been extensive. Although structures of these types occasionally are used for spans less than 100ft, they more often are used for spans in excess of 100 ft and have been used in structuresHaving spans in excess of 300 ft. Structurally efficient in flexure, especially for continuous bridges, the box girder is torsionally stiff and hence an excellent type of structure for use on bridges that have horizontal curvature. Some governmental agencies use this form of construction almost exclusively in urban areas where appearance from underneath the superstructure,as well as from the side, is considered important.交通工程介绍什么是交通工程交通工程仍然是在土木工程的总的界限内的一种相对新的训练。

Design of reinforced concrete bridgesP. Jackson Giord and PartnersThe shortest span reinforced concrete decks are built as solid slabs. These may be supported on bearings although, due to durability issues with expansion joints and bearings, it is usually preferable to cast them integral with in-situ abutments or place them as part of pre cast box culverts. As the span increases, the optimum form of construction changes to voided slab or beam and slab then box girder bridges. Open spandrel arches enable relatively long spans, more commonly built in steel or prestressed concrete, to be built efficiently in reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete is also used for deck slabs and substructures for bridges with main elements of steel or prestressed concrete. The key design criteria and checks required by codes are the same regardless of the form of construction. These are for ultimate strength in flexure, shear and torsion and for serviceability issues including crack widths and service stresses. For elements with significant live load ratios, reinforcement fatigue may sometimes also have to be checked. IntroductionMost modern small bridges are of reinforced concrete construction and nearly all modern bridges contain some elements of reinforced concrete (RC). In this chapter, the design of reinforced concrete bridge superstructures is considered and some aspects of the design criteria for reinforced concrete, which are also relevant to other reinforced concrete substructures and reinforced concrete parts of bridges with steel or prestressed main elements, are reviewed.Some specific aspects which are most often relevant to deck slabs in bridges with prestressed or steel beams will be considered in the section on beam and slab bridges.In situ reinforced concrete construction has the great advantage of simplicity; formwork is placed, reinforcement fixed and concrete poured and the structure is then com-plete. In modern practice, precast bridge elements are usually prestressed. For smaller elements, this is because pretensioning on long line beds is a convenient method of providing the steel. For larger structures, post-tensioning provides the most convenient way of fixing manageable sized elements together. The result is that, with some exceptions which will be discussed, purely reinforced concrete bridges are usually cast in situ.In the following, the various types of RC bridge are considered and the design criteria for reinforced concrete are then reviewed.Solid slab bridgesSingle spansThe solid slab is the simplest form of reinforced concrete bridge deck. Ease of construction resulting from the sim-plicity makes this the most economic type for short span structures. Solid slabs also have good distribution properties which makes them efficient at carrying concentrated movable loads such as wheel loads for highway bridges. However, above a span of around 10m the deadweight starts to become excessive, making other forms of construction more economic.Solid slab bridges can be simply supported on bearings or built into the abutments. Until recently, bridge engineers tended to be quite pedantic about providing for expansion and even bridges as short as 9m span were often provided with bearings and expansion joints. However, bearings and expansion joints have proved to be among the most troublesome components of bridges. In particular, deterior-ation of substructures due to water leaking through expan-sion joints has been common especially in bridges carrying roads where de-icing salt is used.Recently, the fashion has changed back to designing bridges that are cast integral with theabutments or bank seats (Department of Transport, 1995). Apart from the durability advantages, this can lead to saving in the deck due to the advantage of continuity. On short span bridges with relatively high abutment walls, being able to use the deck to prop the abutments can also lead to significant savings in the abutments. However, this normally depends on being able to build the deck before backfilling behind the abutments. When assumptions about construction approach such as this are made in design, it is important that they should be properly conveyed to the contractor, normally by stating them on the drawings.A feature of the design of integral bridges which has not always been appreciated is that, because the deck is not structurally isolated from the substructure, the stress state in the deck is dependent on the soil properties. This inevitably means that the analysis is less ‘accurate’than in conventional structures. Neither the normal at-rest pressure behind abutments nor the resistance to movement is ever very accurately known. It might be argued that, because of this, designs should be done for both upper and lower bounds to soil properties. In practice, this is not generally done and the design criteria used have sufficient reserve so that this does not lead to problems.Depending on the ground conditions, span and obstacle crossed, the abutments of asingle-span bridge may be separate or may be joined to form a complete box. Such box type structures have the advantage that they can be built without piles even in very poor ground, as the bearing pressure is low. Since the box structure is likely to be lighter than the displaced fill, the net bearing pressure is often negative. This can lead to problems in made ground as the embankment either side of the box may settle much more than the box, leading to problems with vertical align-ment and damage to the surfacing or rails over the bridge.RC slab bridges are normally cast in situ. An exception is very short span shallower structures (typically up to some 6m span and 3.6m clear height) which can be most eco-nomically precast effectively complete as box culverts, leav-ing only parapets and, where required, wing walls to cast in situ. This form of construction is most commonly used for conveying watercourses under embankments but can be used for footway and cycletracks.In situ construction is very convenient for greenfield sites and for crossing routes that can be diverted. It is less con-venient for crossing under or over live routes. For the latter, spanning formwork can be used if there is sufficient headroom. However, in many cases beam bridges are more convenient and the precast beams will normally be pre-stressed. RC box type structures can, however, be installed under live traffic. They can be pushed under embankments. The issues are considered by Allenby and Ropkins (2004). A reasonable amount of fill over the box is needed to do this under live traffic. The box structure is cast adjacent to its final position and then jacked into position with anti-drag ropes preventing the foundations below and the fill above moving with it. If there is not much fill depth, it becomes impractical to push the box whilst keeping a road or rail route over the top still. A similar approach can, how-ever, be used with the box cast in advance and then jacked into place in open cut over a relatively short possession.Multiple spansIn the past, some in situ multi-span slab bridges were built which were simply supported. However, unlike in bridges built from precast beams, it is no more complicated to build a continuous bridge. Indeed, because of the absence of the troublesome and leak-prone expansion joints, it may actually be simpler. It is therefore only in exceptional circumstances (for example construction in areas subject to extreme differential settlement due to mining subsidence) thatmultiple simply supported spans are now used.Making the deck continuous or building it into the abut-ments also leads to a significant reduction in the mid-span sagging moments in the slab.The advantage of this continuity in material terms is much greater than in bridges of pre-stressed beam construction where creep redistribution effects usually more than cancel out the saving in live load moments.Various approaches are possible for the piers. Either leaf piers can be used or discrete columns. Unlike in beam bridges, the latter approach needs no separate transverse beam. The necessary increase in local transverse moment capacity can be achieved by simply providing additional transverse reinforcement in critical areas. This facility makes slab bridges particularly suitable for geometrically complicated viaducts such as arise in some interchanges in urban situations. Curved decks with varying skew angles and discrete piers in apparently random locations can readily be accommodated.Whether discrete columns or leaf piers are used, they can either be provided with bearings or built into the deck. The major limitation on the latter approach is that, if the bridge is fixed in more than one position, the pier is subject to significant moments due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the deck. Unless the piers are very tall and slender, this usually precludes using the approach for more than one or two piers in a viaduct.Voided slab bridgesAbove a span of about 10–12m, the dead weight of a solid slab bridge starts to become excessive. For narrower bridges, significant weight saving can be achieved by using relatively long transverse cantilevers giving a bridge of ‘spine beam’form as shown in Figure 1. This canextend the economic span range of this type of structure to around 16m or more. Above this span, and earlier for wider bridges, a lighter form of construction is desirable.One of the commonest ways of lightening a solid slab is to use void formers of some sort. The commonest form is circular polystyrene void formers. Although polystyrene appears to be impermeable, it is only the much more expensive closed cell form which is so. The voids should therefore be provided with drainage holes at their lower ends. It is also important to ensure that the voids and reinforcement are held firmly in position in the formwork during construction. This avoids problems that have occurred with the voids floating or with the links moving to touch the void formers, giving no cover.Provided the void diameters are not more than around 60% of the slab thickness and nominal transverse steel is provided in the flanges, the bridge can be analysed much as a solidslab. That is, without considering either the reduced transverse shear stiffness or the local bending in the flanges. Unlike the previous British code, EN 1992-2 (BSI, 2005) does not give specific guidance on voided slabs. However, some is provided in the accompanying ‘PD’pub- lished by the British Standards Institution (BSI, 2008a).The section is designed longitudinally in both flexure and shear allowing for the voids. Links should be provided and these are designed as for a flanged beam with the minimum web thickness.The shear stresses are likely to become excessive near supports, particularly if discrete piers are used. However, this problem can be avoided by simply stopping the voids off, leaving a solid section in these critical areas.If more lightening is required, larger diameter voids or square voids forming a cellular deck can be used. These do then have to be considered in analysis. The longitudinal stiff-ness to be used for a cellular deck is calculated in the normal way, treating the section as a monolithic beam.Transversely, such a structure behaves quite differently under uniform and non-uniform bending. In the former, the top and bottom flanges act compositely whereas in the latter they flex about their separate neutral axes as shown in Figure 2. This means the correct flexural inertia can be an order of magnitude greater for uniform than non-uniform bending. The behaviour can, however, be modelled in a conventional grillage model by using a shear deformable grillage. The composite flexural properties are used and the extra defor-mation under non-uniform bending is represented by calcu-lating an equivalent shear stiffness.Having obtained the moments and forces in the cellular structure, the reinforcement has to be designed. In addition to designing for the longitudinal and transverse moments on the complete section, local moments in the flanges have to be considered. These arise from the wheel loads applied to the deck slab and also from the transverse shear. This shear has to be transmitted across the voidsby flexure in the flanges, that is by the section acting like a vierendeel frame as shown in Figure 2.Voided slab bridges typically have the rather utilitarian appearance typical of bridges with the type of voided section shown in Figure 1 and with either single spans or with intermediate piers of either leaf or discrete vertical pier form. However, one of the potential great advantages of concrete is that any shape can be formed. Figure 3 shows a voided slab bridge of more imaginative appearance which carries main line rail loading. To make most efficient use of the curved soffit varying depth section, different sizes of void were used across the width.Beam and slab bridgesIn recent years, in situ beam and slab structures have been less popular than voided slab forms, while precast beams have generally been prestressed. Reinforced beam andslab structures have therefore been less common. However, there is no fundamental reason why they should not be used and there are thousands of such structures in service.One of the disadvantages of a beam and slab structure compared with a voided slab or cellular slab structure is that the distribution properties are relatively poor. In the UK at least, this is less of a disadvantage than it used to be. This is because the normal traffic load has increased with each change of the loading specification, leaving the abnormal load the same until the most recent change which could actually make it less severe for shorter spans. However, reinforced concrete beam and slab bridges do not appear to have increased in popularity as a result. They are more popular in some other countries.The relatively poor distribution properties of beam and slab bridges can be improved by providing one or more transverse beams or diaphragms within the span, rather than only at the piers. In bridges built with precast beams, forming these ‘intermediate diaphragms’is extremely inconvenient and therefore expensive so they have become unusual. However, in an in situ structure which has to be built on falsework, it makes relatively little difference and is therefore more viable.The beams for a beam and slab structure are designed for the moments and forces from the analysis. The analysis is now usually computerised in European practice, although the AASHTO (2002) code encourages the use of a basically empirical approach.Having obtained the forces, the design approach is the same as for slabs apart from the requirement for nominal links in all beams. Another factor is that if torsion is consid-ered in the analysis the links have to be designed for torsion as well as for shear. Itis, however,acceptable practiceto use torsionless analysis at least for right decks.Because the deck slab forms a large top flange, the beams of beam and slab bridges are more efficiently shaped for resisting sagging than hogging moments. It may therefore be advantageous to haunch them locally over the piers even in relatively short-span continuous bridges.The biggest variation in practice in the design of beam and slab structures is in the reinforcement of the deck slab. A similar situation arises in the deck slabs of bridgeswhere the main beams are steel or prestressed concrete and this aspect will now be considered.Conventional practice in North America was to design only for the moments induced in the deck slab by its action in spanning between the beams supporting wheel loads (the ‘local moments’). These moments were obtained from Westergaard (1930) albeit usually by way of tables given in AASHTO. British practice also uses elastic methods to obtain local moments, usuallyeither Westergaard or influ-ence charts such as Pucher (1964). However, the so-called‘global transverse moments’, the moments induced in the deck slab by its action in distributing load between the beams, are considered. These moments, obtained from the global analysis of the bridge, are added to the local moments obtained from Westergaard (1930) or similar methods. Only‘co-existent’moments (the moments induced in the same part of the deck under the same load case) are considered, and the worst global and local moments often do notcoin-cide. However, this still has a significant effect. In bridges with very close spaced beams (admittedly rarely used in North America) the UK approach can give twice the design moments of the US approach.Although the US approach may appear theoretically unsound (the global moments obviously do exist in American bridges), it has produced satisfactory designs.One reason for this is that the local strength of the deck slabs is actually much greater than conventional elastic analysis suggests. This has been extensively researched (Hewit and Batchelor, 1975; Holowka and Csagoly, 1980;Kirkpatrick et al., 1984).In Ontario (Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications, 1983) empirical rules have been devel-oped which enable such slabs to be designed very simply and economically. Although these were developed without major consideration of global effects, they have been shown to work well within the range of cases they apply to (Jack-son and Cope, 1990). Similar rules have been developed in Northern Ireland (Kirkpatrick et al., 1984) and elsewhere but they have not been widely accepted in Europe.Longer span structuresIn modern practice, purely reinforced structures longer than about 20m span are quite unusual; concrete bridges of this size are usually prestressed. However, there is no funda-mental reason why such structures should not be built.The longest span reinforced concrete girder bridges tend to be of box girder form. Although single cell box girders are a well-defined form of construction, there is no clear-cut distinction between a ‘multi-cellular box girder’and a voided slab. However, the voids in voided slab bridges are normally formed with polystyrene or other permanent void formers, whereas box girders are usually formed with removable formwork. The formwork can only be removed if the section is deep enough for access, which effectively means around 1.2m minimum depth. Permanent access to the voids is often provided. In older structures, this was often through manholes in the top slab. This means traffic management is required to gain access and also means there is the problem of water, and de-icing salt where this is used, leaking into the voids. It is therefore preferable to provide access from below.In a continuous girder bridge (particularly one with only two spans) the hogging moments, particularly the perma-nent load moments, over the piers are substantially greater than the sagging moments at mid-span. This, combinedwith the greater advantage of saving weight near mid-span, encourages longer span bridges to be haunched. Haunching frequently also helps with the clearance required for road, rail or river traffic under the bridge by allowing a shallower section elsewhere.The longest span and most dramatic purely reinforced concrete bridges are open spandrel arches as in the Catha-leen’s Falls Bridge shown in Figure 4. The true arch form suits reinforced concrete well as the compressive force in the arch rib increases its flexural strength. As a result, the form is quite efficient in terms of materials.Because of the physical shape of the arch and the require- ment for good ground conditions to resist the lateral thrust force from the arch, this form of construction is limited in its application. It is most suitable for crossing valleys in hilly country. The simplest way to build such a structure is on falsework. However, the falsework required is very extensive and hence relatively expensive. Because of this, such bridges are often more expensive than structurally less efficient forms, such as prestressed cantilever bridges, that can be built with less temporary works. However, they may still be economic in some circumstances, particularly in countries where the labour required to erect the falsework is relatively cheap. A further factor may be local availability of the materials in countries where the prestressing equip-ment or structural steelwork required for other bridges of this span range would have to be imported.It is also possible to devise other ways of building arches.They have been built out in segments from either end supported by tying them back with temporary stays. Another approach, which is only likely to be viable with at least three spans, is to insert temporary diagonal mem- bers so that the bridge, including the columns supporting the deck and at least main longitudinal members at deck level, can be built bay by bay behaving as a truss until it is joined up.The efficiency of arch structures, like other forms used for longer span bridges, arises because the shape is optimised for resisting the near-uniform forces arising from dead load which is the dominant load. The profile of the arch is arranged to minimise the bending moments in it. Theoretically, the optimum shape approximates to a catenary if the weight of the rib dominates or a parabola if the weight of the deck dominates but the exact shape is unlikely to be critical.Arch structures can be so efficient at carrying dead weight that applying the usual load factor for dead load actually increases live load capacity by increasing the axial force in, andhence flexural capacity of, the rib. The design code’s lesser load factor (normally 1.0) for‘relieving effects’should be applied to dead weight when this arises. However, the letter of many codes only requires this to be applied in certain cases which are defined in such a way that it does not appear to apply here. This cannot be justified philosophi-cally and the reduced factor should be used.Because the geometry is optimised for a uniform load,loading the entire span is unlikely to be the critical live load case, unlike in a simple single-span beam bridge. It will normally be necessary to plot influence lines to determine the critical case. For uniform loads, this is often loading a half-span.Arch bridges have been built in which the live load bending moments are taken primarily by the girders at deck level, enabling the arch ribs to be very slim in appear-ance. However, the more usual approach is to build the arch rib first and then build the deck structure afterwards, possibly even after the falsework has been struck so that this does not have to be designed to take the full load.The deck structure is then much like a normal viaduct supported on piers from the arch rib and the rib has to take significant moments.In the past, reinforced concrete truss structures have also been built but they are not often used in modern practice because the building costs are high due to the complexity of formwork and reinforcement.Design calculationGeometryThe shape of reinforced concrete bridges is usually decided by experience aided by typical span-to-depth ratios. The design calculations are only really used to design the reinforcement. A typical simply supported slab has a span-to-depth ratio of around 10–15 but continuous or integral bridges can be shallower. Because the concentrated live load (i.e. the wheel load) the deck has to carry does not reduce with span, the span-to-depth ratio of short span slabs tends to be towards the lower end of the range.However, deck slabs of bigger bridges often have greater span-to-depth ratios than slab bridges. This is economic because the dead weight of the slab, although an insignifi-cant part of the load on the slab, is significant to the global design of the bridge.There was a fashion for very shallow bridges in the 1960s and 1970s as they were considered to look more elegant. However, unless increasing the construction depth has major cost implications elsewhere (such as the need to raise embankments) it is likely to be more economic to use more than the minimum depth. The appearance dis-advantage on short span bridges can be resolved by good detailing of the edges. Bridge decks with short transverse cantilevers at the edges tend to look shallower than vertical sided bridges even if they are actually deeper.Having decided the dimensions of the bridge, the design calculations then serve primarily to design the reinforce-ment and the key checks will now be considered. They will be illustrated mainly by considering slab structures but most of the principles apply to all reinforced concrete. Ultimate strength in flexure and torsionReinforced concrete is normally designed for ultimate strength in flexure first. This is partly because this is usually, although not invariably, the critical design criterion.Another reason is that reinforcement can be more readily designed directly for this criterion. For other criteria, suchas crack width or service stresses, a design has to be assumed and then checked. This makes thedesign process iterative. A first estimate is required to start the iterative procedure and the ultimate strength design provides such an estimate.Although other analytical methods give better estimates of strength, elastic analysis is usually used in design. This has to be used when checking serviceability criteria. Because of this, the use of more economic analyses at the ultimate limit state (such as yield-line analysis) invariably results in other criteria (such as cracking or stress limits) becoming critical leaving little or no advantage.Concrete slabs have to resist torsion as well as flexure. However, unlike in a beam, torsion and flexure in slabs are not separate phenomena. They interact in the same way that direct and shear stresses interact in plane stress situations. They can be considered in the same way: thatis using Mohr’s circle. Theoretically, it is most efficient to use orthogonal reinforcement placed in the directions of maximum and minimum principal moments. Since there is no torsion in these directions, torsion does not then have to be considered. However, it is not often practical to do this as the principal moment directions change with both position in the slab and load case.In right slabs the torsional moments in the regions (the elements of the computer model where this is used),where the moments are maximum, are relatively small and can often be ignored. In skew slabs, in contrast, the torsions can be significant. The usual approach is to design for an increased equivalent bending moment in the reinforcement directions. Wood (1968) has published the relevant equations for orthogonal steel and Armer (1968) for skew steel. Many of the computer programs commonly used for the analysis of bridge decks have post-processors that enable them to give these corrected moments, com-monly known as ‘Wood–Armer’moments, directly. To enable them to do this, it is necessary to specify the direc-tion of the reinforcement.When the reinforcement is very highly skewed, the Wood–Armer approach leads to excessive requirements for transverse steel. When assessing existing structures, this problem can be avoided by using alternative analytical approaches. However, in design it is usually preferable to avoid the problem by avoiding the use of very highly skewed reinforcement. The disadvantage of this is that it makes the reinforcement detailing of skew slab bridges more complicated. This arises because the main steel in the edges of the slab has to run parallel with the edges. Orthogonal steel can therefore only be achieved in the centre of the bridge either by fanning out the steel or bypro-viding three layers in the edge regions. That is, one parallel to the edge in addition to the two orthogonal layers.When torsion is considered, it will be found that there is a significant requirement for top steel in the obtuse corners even of simply supported slabs. It can be shown using other analytical methods (such as yield-line or torsionless grillage analysis) that equilibrium can be satisfied without resisting these moments. The top steel is therefore not strictly necessary for ultimate strength. However, the moments are real and have caused significant cracking in older slab structures which were built without this steel. It is therefore preferable to reinforce for them. Ultimate strength in shearShear does not normally dictate the dimensions of the element. However, codes allow slabs (unlike beams) which do not have shear reinforcement and it is economically desirable to avoid shear reinforcement in these if e of links is particularly inconvenient in very shallow slabs, such as in box culverts or the deck slabs of beam and slab bridges, and many codes do not allow them to be considered effective. The shear strength rules can therefore be critical in design.。

外文文献翻译BRIDGE ENGINEERING AND AESTHETICSEvolvement of bridge Engineering,brief reviewAmong the early documented reviews of construction materials and structure types are the books of Marcus Vitruvios Pollio in the first century B.C.The basic principles of statics were developed by the Greeks , and were exemplified in works and applications by Leonardo da Vinci,Cardeno,and Galileo.In the fifteenth and sixteenth century, engineers seemed to be unaware of this record , and relied solely on experience and tradition for building bridges and aqueducts .The state of the art changed rapidly toward the end of the seventeenth century when Leibnitz, Newton, and Bernoulli introduced mathematical formulations. Published works by Lahire (1695)and Belidor (1792) about the theoretical analysis of structures provided the basis in the field of mechanics of materials .Kuzmanovic(1977) focuses on stone and wood as the first bridge-building materials. Iron was introduced during the transitional period from wood to steel .According to recent records , concrete was used in France as early as 1840 for a bridge 39 feet (12 m) long to span the Garoyne Canal at Grisoles, but reinforced concrete was not introduced in bridge construction until the beginning of this century . Prestressed concrete was first used in 1927.Stone bridges of the arch type (integrated superstructure and substructure) were constructed in Rome and other European cities in the middle ages . These arches were half-circular , with flat arches beginning to dominate bridge work during the Renaissance period. This concept was markedly improved at the end of the eighteenth century and found structurally adequate to accommodate future railroad loads . In terms of analysis and use of materials , stone bridges have not changed much ,but the theoretical treatment was improved by introducing the pressure-line concept in the early 1670s(Lahire, 1695) . The arch theory was documented in model tests where typical failure modes were considered (Frezier,1739).Culmann(1851) introduced the elastic center method for fixed-end arches, and showed that three redundant parameters can be found by the use of three equations of coMPatibility.Wooden trusses were used in bridges during the sixteenth century when Palladio built triangular frames for bridge spans 10 feet long . This effort also focused on the three basic principles og bridge design : convenience(serviceability) ,appearance , and endurance(strength) . several timber truss bridges were constructed in western Europe beginning in the 1750s with spans up to 200 feet (61m) supported on stone substructures .Significant progress was possible in the United States and Russia during the nineteenth century ,prompted by the need to cross major rivers and by an abundance of suitable timber . Favorable economic considerations included initial low cost and fast construction .The transition from wooden bridges to steel types probably did not begin until about 1840 ,although the first documented use of iron in bridges was the chain bridge built in 1734 across the Oder River in Prussia . The first truss completely made of iron was in 1840 in the United States , followed by England in 1845 , Germany in 1853 , and Russia in 1857 . In 1840 , the first iron arch truss bridge was built across the Erie Canal at Utica .The Impetus of AnalysisThe theory of structuresThe theory of structures ,developed mainly in the ninetheenth century,focused on truss analysis, with the first book on bridges written in 1811. The Warren triangular truss was introduced in 1846 ,supplemented by a method for calculating the correcet forces .I-beams fabricated from plates became popular in England and were used in short-span bridges.In 1866, Culmann explained the principles of cantilever truss bridges, and one year later the first cantilever bridge was built across the Main River in Hassfurt, Germany, with a center span of 425 feet (130m) . The first cantilever bridge in the United States was built in 1875 across the Kentucky River.A most impressive railway cantilever bridge in the nineteenth century was the First of Forth bridge , built between 1883 and 1893 , with span magnitudes of 1711 feet (521.5m). At about the same time , structural steel was introduced as a prime material in bridge work , although its quality was often poor . Several early examples are the Eads bridge in St.Louis ; the Brooklyn bridge in New York ; and the Glasgow bridge in Missouri , all completed between 1874 and 1883.Among the analytical and design progress to be mentioned are the contributions of Maxwell , particularly for certain statically indeterminate trusses ; the books by Cremona (1872) on graphical statics; the force method redefined by Mohr; and the works by Clapeyron who introduced the three-moment equations.The Impetus of New MaterialsSince the beginning of the twentieth century , concrete has taken its place as one of the most useful and important structural materials . Because of the coMParative ease with which it can be molded into any desired shape , its structural uses are almost unlimited . Wherever Portland cement and suitable aggregates are available , it can replace other materials for certain types of structures, such as bridge substructure and foundation elements .In addition , the introduction of reinforced concrete in multispan frames at the beginning of this century imposed new analytical requirements . Structures of a high order of redundancy could not be analyzed with the classical methods of the nineteenth century .The importance of joint rotation was already demonstrated by Manderla (1880) and Bendixen (1914) , who developed relationships between joint moments and angular rotations from which the unknown moments can be obtained ,the so called slope-deflection method .More simplifications in frame analysis were made possible by the work of Calisev (1923) , who used successive approximations to reduce the system of equations to one simple expression for each iteration step . This approach was further refined and integrated by Cross (1930) in what is known as the method of moment distribution .One of the most import important recent developments in the area of analytical procedures is the extension of design to cover the elastic-plastic range , also known as load factor or ultimate design. Plastic analysis was introduced with some practical observations by Tresca (1846) ; and was formulated by Saint-Venant (1870) , The concept of plasticity attracted researchers and engineers after World War Ⅰ, mainly in Germany , with the center of activity shifting to England and the United States after World War Ⅱ.The probabilistic approach is a new design concept that is expected to replace the classical deterministic methodology.A main step forward was the 1969 addition of the Federal Highway Adiministration (FHWA)”Criteria for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Members “ that covers strength and serviceability at ultimate design . This was prepared for use in conjunction with the 1969 American Association of State Highway Offficials (AASHO) Standard Specification, and was presented in a format that is readily adaptable to the development of ultimate design specifications .According to this document , the proportioning of reinforced concrete members ( including columns ) may be limited by various stages of behavior : elastic , cracked , andultimate . Design axial loads , or design shears . Structural capacity is the reaction phase , and all calculated modified strength values derived from theoretical strengths are the capacity values , such as moment capacity ,axial load capacity ,or shear capacity .At serviceability states , investigations may also be necessary for deflections , maximum crack width , and fatigue . Bridge TypesA notable bridge type is the suspension bridge , with the first example built in the United States in 1796. Problems of dynamic stability were investigated after the Tacoma bridge collapse , and this work led to significant theoretical contributions Steinman ( 1929 ) summarizes about 250 suspension bridges built throughout the world between 1741 and 1928 .With the introduction of the interstate system and the need to provide structures at grade separations , certain bridge types have taken a strong place in bridge practice. These include concrete superstructures (slab ,T-beams,concrete box girders ), steel beam and plate girders , steel box girders , composite construction , orthotropic plates , segmental construction , curved girders ,and cable-stayed bridges . Prefabricated members are given serious consideration , while interest in box sections remains strong .Bridge Appearance and AestheticsGrimm ( 1975 ) documents the first recorded legislative effort to control the appearance of the built environment . This occurred in 1647 when the Council of New Amsterdam appointed three officials . In 1954 , the Supreme Court of the United States held that it is within the power of the legislature to determine that communities should be attractive as well as healthy , spacious as well as clean , and balanced as well as patrolled . The Environmental Policy Act of 1969 directs all agencies of the federal government to identify and develop methods and procedures to ensure that presently unquantified environmental amentities and values are given appropriate consideration in decision making along with economic and technical aspects .Although in many civil engineering works aesthetics has been practiced almost intuitively , particularly in the past , bridge engineers have not ignored or neglected the aesthetic disciplines .Recent research on the subject appears to lead to a rationalized aesthetic design methodology (Grimm and Preiser , 1976 ) .Work has been done on the aesthetics of color ,light ,texture , shape , and proportions , as well as other perceptual modalities , and this direction is both theoretically and empirically oriented .Aesthetic control mechanisms are commonly integrated into the land-use regulations and design standards . In addition to concern for aesthetics at the state level , federal concern focuses also on the effects of man-constructed environment on human life , with guidelines and criteria directed toward improving quality and appearance in the design process . Good potential for the upgrading of aesthetic quality in bridge superstructures and substructures can be seen in the evaluation structure types aimed at improving overall appearance .LOADS AND LOADING GROUPSThe loads to be considered in the design of substructures and bridge foundations include loads and forces transmitted from the superstructure, and those acting directly on the substructure and foundation .AASHTO loads . Section 3 of AASHTO specifications summarizes the loads and forces to be considered in the design of bridges (superstructure and substructure ) . Briefly , these are dead load ,live load , iMPact or dynamic effect of live load , wind load , and other forces such as longitudinal forces , centrifugal force ,thermal forces , earth pressure , buoyancy , shrinkage andlong term creep , rib shortening , erection stresses , ice and current pressure , collision force , and earthquake stresses .Besides these conventional loads that are generally quantified , AASHTO also recognizes indirect load effects such as friction at expansion bearings and stresses associated with differential settlement of bridge components .The LRFD specifications divide loads into two distinct categories : permanent and transient .Permanent loadsDead Load : this includes the weight DC of all bridge components , appurtenances and utilities, wearing surface DW and future overlays , and earth fill EV. Both AASHTO and LRFD specifications give tables summarizing the unit weights of materials commonly used in bridge work .Transient LoadsVehicular Live Load (LL)Vehicle loading for short-span bridges :considerable effort has been made in the United States and Canada to develop a live load model that can represent the highway loading more realistically than the H or the HS AASHTO models . The current AASHTO model is still the applicable loading.桥梁工程和桥梁美学桥梁工程的发展概况早在公元前1世纪,Marcus Vitrucios Pollio 的著作中就有关于建筑材料和结构类型的记载和评述。

This cable-stayed bridge of cast-in-place cancrete features a main span of 420m,the longest such span for this type of bridge in the Western Hemisphere.In 200 the MOP invited international bridge design firms to compete for the design of the crossing, requesting a two-package proposal:one techinical, the other financial. A total of eight proposals were received by December 2000 from established bridge design firms all over the world. After short-listing three firms on the basis of the technical merits of their proposals, the MOP selected T.Y.Lin International, of San Francisco, to prepare the bridge design and provide field construction support based on the firm’s financial package.The Centennial Bridge desige process was unique and aggressive,incorporating concepts from the traditional design/build/bid method, the design/build method , and the sa-called fast-track design process.To complete the construction on time-that is ,within just 27 months-the design of the bridge was carried out to a level of 30 percent before construction bidding began, in December 2001.The selected contractor-the Wiesbaden,Germany,office of Bilfinger Berger,AG-was brought on board immediately after being selected by the MOP ,just as would be the case in a fast-track approach. The desige of the bridge was then completed in conjunction with construction , a process that id similan to desige/build.The design selected by the client features two single-mast towers,each supporting two sets of stay cables that align in one vertical plane.Concrete was used to construct both the towers and the box girder deck,as well as the approach structures.The MOP , in conjunction with the Panama Canal Authority,established the following requirements for the bridge design :A 420m,the minimum length for the main span to accommodate the recently widened Gaillard Cut,a narrow portion of the canal crossing theContinental Divide that was straightened and widened to 275m in 2002;A navigational envelope consisting of 80m of vertical clearance and 70m of horizontal clearance to accommodate the safe passage of a crane of World War 11 vintage-a gift from the ernment that is used by the Panama Canal Authority to maintain the canal gates and facilities;A roadway wide enough to carry six lanes of traffic, three in each direction;A deck able to accommodate a 1.5m wide pedestrian walkway;A design that would adhere to the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Official standard for a 100-year service life and offer HS-25 truck loading;A structure that could carry two 0.6m dianeter water lines;A construction method that would not cross the canal at any time or interrupt canal operationa in any way.Because of the bridge’s long main span and the potential for strong seismic activity in the area,no single building code covered all aspects of the project.Therefore the team from T.Y. Lin International determinded which portions of several standard bridge specifications were applicable and which were not.The following design codes were used in developing the design criteria for the bridge,it is standard specifications for highway bridge ,16th ed,1996It was paramount that the towers of the cable-stayed structucture be erected on land to avoid potential ship collision and the need to construct expensive deep foundation in water. However, geological maps and boring logs produced during the preliminary design phrase revealed that the east and west banks of the canal, where the towers were to be located, featured vastly different geologicaland soil conditions. On the east side of the canal, beneath shallow layers of overburden that rangs in consistency from soft to hard, lies a block of basalt ranging from medium hard to hard with very closely spaced joint.The engineers determined that the basalt would provide a competent platform for the construction of shallow foundation for tower, piers, and approach structures on this side of bridge.The west side, however,featured the infamous Cucaracha Formation, which is a heterogeneous conglomerate of clay shale with inclusions of sandstone, basalt,and ash that is prone to landslide. As a sudsurface stratum the Cucaracha Formation is quite stable,but it quickly erodes when exposedto the elements. The engineers determined that deep foundations would therefore be needed for the western approach structure,the west tower,and the western piers.Before a detailed design of the foundationa could be developed,a thorough analysis of the seismic hazards at the site was required,The design seismic load for the project was developed on the basis of a probabilistic seismic hazard assessment that considered the conditions at the site.Such an assessment establishes the return period for a given earthquake and the corresponding intensity of ground shaking in the horizontal directtion in terms of an acceleration response spectrum.The PSHA determined two dominant seismic sources: a subduction source zone associated with the North Panama Deformed Belt capable of producing a seimic event as strong as 7.7MW,and the Rio Gatun Fault, capable of producing an event as strong as 6.5MW.The 7.7MW NPDB event was used as the safety evluation earthquake,that is,the maximum earthquake that could strike without putting the bridge out of service.The damage to the bridge would be minor but would require some closures of the bridge.The 6.5MWRio Gatun Fault event was used as the foundational evaluation earthquake,a lower-level temblor that would cause minimal damage to the bridge and would not require closures.For the FEE load case,the SEE loading was scaled back by two-thirds.The FEE is assumed to have a peak acceleration of 0.21g and a return period of 500 years; the probability that it will be exceeded within 50 years is 10 pencent and within 100 years,18 persent.The SEE is assumed to have a peak acceleration of 1.33g and a return period of 2,500 years;the probability that it will be exceeded within 50 years is 2 pencent and within 100 years,4 persent.Because of uncertainty about the direction from which the seismic waves would approach the site, a single response spectrum-a curve showing the mathematically computed maximum response of a set of simple damped harmonic oscillators of different natural frequencies to a particular earthquake ground acceleration-was used to characterize mitions in two mutually orthogonal directions in the horizontal plane.To conduct a time-history analysis of the bridge’s multiple supports,a set of synthetic motions with three components-longitudinal,transverse,and vertical-was developd using an iterative technique.Recorded ground motions from an earthquake in Chile in 1985 were used as “seed”motions for the sythesis process.A time delay estimate-that is,an estimate of the time it would take for the motions generated by the SEEand FEE earthquakes to travel from onepoint to the next-was create using the assumed seismic wave velocity and the distance between the piers of the ing an assumed was velocity of approximately 2.5km/s,a delay on the order of half a second to a second is appropriate for a bridge 1 to 2km long.Soil-foundation interaction studies were performed to determine the stiffness of the soil and foundation as well as the seismic excitation measurement that would be used in the dynamic analyses.The studieswere conducted by means of soil-pile models using linear and nonlinear soil layera of varying depths.The equivalent pile lengths in the studies-that is, the lengths representing the portions of a given pile that would actually be affected by a given earthquake-induced ground motion-ranged from2to10m.In such a three-dimensional model,there are six ways in which the soil can resist the movement of the lpile because of its stiffness:throngh axial force in the three directions and through bending moments in three directions.Because the bridge site contains so many layers of varying soil types,each layer had to be represented by a different stiffness matrix and then analyzed.Once the above analyses were completed,the T.Y.Lin International engineers-taking into consideration the project requirements developedby the owener-evaluated several different concrete cable-stayed designs.A number of structural systems were investigated,the main variables,superstructure cross sections,and the varying support conditions described above.The requirement that the evevation of the deck be quite high strongly influenced the tower configuration.For the proposed deck elevation of more than 80m,the most economical tower shapes included single-and dual-mast towers as well as “goal post”towers-that is,a design in which the two masts would be linked to each other by crossbeams.Ultimately the engineers designd the bridge to be 34.3m wide with a 420mlong cable-stayd main span,two 200mlong side spans-one on each side of the main span-and approach structures at the ends of the side spans.On the east side there is one 46m long concrete approach structure,while on the west side there are three,measuring 60,60,and 66m,for a total bridge length of 1,052m.The side spans are supported by four piers,referred to,from west to east,as P1.P2,P3,and P4.The bridge deck is a continuous single-cell box girder from abutment to abutment; the expansion joints are located at the abutments only. Deck movements on the order of 400 mm are expected at these modular expansion joints Multidirectional pot bearings are used at the piers and at theabutments to accommodate these movements.The deck was fixed to the two towers to facilitate the balanced-cantilever method of construction and to provide torsional rigidity and lateral restraint to the deck.. Transverse live loads, seismic loads, and wind loads are proportionally distributed to the towers and the piers by the fixity of the deck to the towers and by reinforced-concrete shear keys located at the top of P1, P3, and P4. The deck is allowed to move longitudinally over the abutments and piers. The longitudinal, seismic, live, and temperature loads are absorbed by what is known as portal frame structural behavior, whereby the towers and the deck form a portal-much like the frame of a door in a building-that acts in proportion to the relative stiffness of the two towers.As previously mentioned, the presence of competent basalt on the east side of the site meant that shallow foundations could be used there; in particular, spread footings were designed for the east tower, the east approach structure, and the east abutment. The west tower, the west approach structure, and the western piers (P2 and P3), however, had to be founded deep within the Cucaracha Formation. A total of 48 cast-in-drilled-hole (CIDH) shafts with 2 m outer diameters and lengths ranging from 25 to 35 m were required. A moment curvature analysis was performed to determine the capacity of the shafts with different amounts of longitudinal steel rebar. The results were plotted against the demands, and on the basis of the results the amount of required longitudinal reinforcing steel was determined to be 1 percent of the amount of concrete used in the shafts. The distribution of the longitudinal reinforcing steel was established by following code requirements, with consideration also given to the limitations of constructing CIDH piles with the contractor’s preferred method, which is the water or slurry displacement method.A minimum amount of transverse steel had to be determined for use in the plastic regions of the shaft-that is, those at the top one-eighth of eighth of each shaft and within the shaft caps, which would absorb the highest seismic demands. Once this amount was determined, it was used as the minimum for areas of the shafts above their points of fixity where large lateral displacements were expected to occur. The locations of the transverse steel were then established by following code requirements and by considering the construction limitations of CIDH piles. The transverse steel was spiral shaped.Even though thief foundation designs differed, the towers themselves were designed to be identical. Each measures 185.5 m from the top of its pile cap and is designed as a hollow reinforced-concrete shaft with a truncated elliptical cross section (see figure opposite). Each tower’s width inplan varies along its height, narrowing uniformly from 9.5 m at the base of the tower to 6 m at the top. In the longitudinal direction, each pylon tapers from 9.5 m at the base to about 8 m right below the deck level, which is about 87 m above the tower base. Above the deck level the tower’s sections vary from 4.6 m just above the deck to 4.5 m at the top. Each tower was designed with a 2 by 4 m opening for pedestrian passage along the deck, a design challenge requiring careful detailing.The towers were designed in a accordance with the latest provisions of the ATC earthquake design manual mentioned previously (ATC-32). Owing to the portal frame action along the bridge’s longitudinal axis, special seismic detailing was implemented in regions with the potential to develop plastic hinges in the event of seismic activity-specifically, just below the deck and above the footing. Special confining forces and alternating open stirrups-with 90 and 135 degree hooks-within the perimeter of the tower shaft.In the transverse direction, the tower behaves like a cantilever, requiring concrete-confining steel at its base. Special attention was needed at the joint between the tower and the deck because of the central-plane stay-cable arrangement, it was necessary to provide sufficient torsional stiffness and special detailing at the pier-to-deck intersection. This intersection is highly congested with vertical reinforcing steel, the closely spaced confining stirrups of the tower shaft, and the deck prestressing and reinforcement.The approach structures on either side of the main span are supported on hollow reinforced-concrete piers that measure 8.28 by 5 m in plan. The design and detailing of the piers are consistent with the latest versions of the ATC and AASHTO specifications for seismic design. Capacity design concepts were applied to the design of the piers. This approach required the use of seismic modeling with moment curvature elements to capture the inelastic behavior of elements during seismic excitation. Pushover analyses of the piers were performed to calculate the displacement capacity of the piers and to compare them with the deformations computed in the seismic time-history analyses. To ensure an adequate ductility of the piers-an essential feature of the capacity design approach-it was necessary to provide adequate concrete-confining steel at those locations within the pier bases where plastic hinges are expected to form.The deck of the cable-stayed main span is composed of single-cell box girders of cast-in-place concrete with internal, inclined steel struts and transverse posttensioned ribs, or stiffening beams, toward the tops. Each box girder segment is 4.5 m deep and 6 m long. To facilitateconstruction and enhanc e the bridge’s elegant design, similar sizes were used for the other bridge spans. An integral concrete overlay with a thickness of 350 mm was installed instead of an applied concrete overlay on the deck. In contrast to an applied overlay, the integral overlay was cast along with each segment during the deck erection. Diamond grinding equipment was used to obtain the desired surface profile and required smoothness. The minimum grinding depth was 5 mm.A total of 128 stay cables were used, the largest comprising 83 monostrands. All cables with a length of more than 80 m were equipped at their lower ends with internal hydraulic dampers. Corrosion protection for the monostrands involved galvanization of the wires through hot dipping, a tight high-density polyethylene (HDPE) sheath extruded onto each strand, and a special type of petroleum wax that fills all of the voids between the wires.The stays are spaecd every 6 m and are arranged in a fan pattern.They are designed to be stressed from the tower only and are anchored in line with a continuous stiffening beam at the centerline of the deck.The deck anchorage system is actually a composite steel frame that encapsulates two continous steel plates that anchor the stays and transfer the stay forces in a continuous and repetitive system-via shear studs-throuthout the extent of the cable-supported deck (see figure above).A steel frame was designed to transfer the stays’horizontal forces to the box girders through concrete-embedded longitudinal steel plates and to transfer the boxes’ vertical forces directly through the internal steel struts.This innovative and elegant load transfer system made rapid construction of the concrete deck segments-in cycles of three to five days-possible.In addition to the geotechnical and seismic analyses,several structural analyses were performed to accurately capture the behavior of this complex bridge.For the service-load analysis,which includes live,temperature,and wind loads,the engineers used SAP2000, a computer program created and maintained by Computers &Structrures,Inc.(CSI), of Berkeley, California.This program was selected for its ability to easily model the service loads and to account for tridimensional effects.For correct SAP2000 modeling, it was necessary to define a set of initial stresses on the cables, deck, and tower elements to capture the state of the structure at the end of construction.For the calculation of those initial stresses, a series of iterations on the basic model were performed to obtain the stay forces in the structure that balance both the bridges’s self-weight and the superimposed dead loads. Once the correct cable stiffness and stress distribution were obtained, all subsequent。

Review of assessment and repair of fire-damaged RChighway bridgesAbstract:This paper presents a review of the progress of the research and engineering practice of assessment and repair of fire-damaged RC highway bridges,based on which existing and pressing problems of the evaluation method are pointed out.At last,Prospect for the development of assessment and repair of fire-damaged highway bridges is also proposed.Key words:fire damage;assessment;repair techniques;RC structure;bridge 1 PrefaceFires can cause great structural damage to bridges and major disruption to highway operations.These incidents stem primarily from vehicle accident (often oil tanker) fires,bridges might also be damaged by fires in adjacent facilities and from other causes.Quite a few of them,though rarely happened,lead to severe structural damage or collapse and casualty.On June 2,2008,fire disaster broke out under the 18th span of Nanjing Yangtze River Bridge and lasted for approximate 75min.During the fire’s development and extinguishment,the structure experienced the sharp rise and fall in temperature causing severe damage to fire- stricken segments.On April 29,2007,a gasoline tanker overturned on the connector from Interstate 8O to Interstate 880 in California.The intense heat from the subsequent fuel spill and fire weakened the stee1 underbelly of the elevated roadway ,collapsing approximately 165 feet of this elevated roadway onto a section of I—880below.On March 25,2004,Connecticut,United States,a tanker truck carrying fuel swerved to avoid a car and overturned,dumping 8000 gallons of home heating oil onto the Howard Avenue overpass.The consequent towering inferno melted the bridge structure and caused the southbound lanes to sag several feetUndocumented number of bridge fires occurring throughout the world each year cause varying degrees of disruption,repair actions,and maintenance cost.Althoughfires caused damage to the bridge structures ,some bridges continue to function after proper repair and retrofit.Still in some situations they have to be repaired for the cause of traffic pressure even though supposed to be dismantled and reconstructed.However ,in other cases,structures are severely damaged in the fire disaster and fail to function even after repair,or the costs of repair and retrofit overweigh their reconstruction costs overwhelmingly even if they are repairable,under which situation reconstruction serves as a preferable option.Therefore in—situ investigation and necessary tests and analyses should be conducted to make comprehensive assessment of the residual mechanical properties and working statuses after fire and to evaluate the degrees of damage of members and structures , in reference to which decisions are made to determine whether Fire damaged structures should be repaired or dismantled and reconstructed.Urgent need from engineering practice highlighted the necessity to understand the susceptibility and severity of these incidents as wel1 as to review available information on mitigation strategies,damage assessments,and repair techniques.2 Progress in Research and Engineering Practice2.1 Processes of Assessment and Repair of Fire damaged BridgeStructureIn China and most countries in the world,most highway bridges are built in RC structure.And the practice of the assessment and repair techniques of bridge structure after fire directly refer to that of RC structure,which,to date,domestic and foreign scholars have made great amount of research on,with their theories and practices being increasingly mature .As for the assessment and repair of fire-damaged reinforced concrete structures,there are two mainstream assessment processes in world.Countries including United States,United Kingdom and Japan adopt the assessment process stipulated by The British Concrete Society .This process grates the severity of fire damage of concrete structure into four degrees according to thedeflection,damage depth,cracking width, color,and loading capacity variation of fire-damaged structures and adopt four corresponding strategies (including demolish,strengthen after safety measures,strengthen. and strengthen in damaged segments) to deal with them accordingly.In general,this process is a qualitative method and considered,however,not quantity enough.In Chinese Mainland and Taiwan ,the prevailing as assessment and repair process of fire damaged incorporates following steps:In comparison this process is more detailed.(1)Conduct In-situ inspections,measurements,and tests including color observation,concrete observation,degree of rebar exposure observation,cracking measurement,deflection measurement,various destructive and nondestructive test methods as grounds for assessment of fire—damaged structures.In assessment of the post -fire mechanical properties of fire—damaged structures,historical highest temperature and temperature distribution of structure during the fire serve as decisive factors.The common methods to determine them incorporate petrographic analysis,ultrasonic method,Rebound method,Ignition Loss method,core test,and color observation method(2)calculate to determine whether the fire-damaged structure can meet the demand of strength and deflection under working loads after fire using mechanical properties of rebar and concrete before and after fire based on the historical highest and temperature distribution of structures obtained from step one.There are two main methods to evaluate the post -fire performance of fire-damaged structures:FEM method and Revised Classic Method.(3)On the basis of test and calculation results obtained from step two,take corresponding repair strategies and particular methods to strengthen the fire-damaged structures.2.2 Repair TechniquesFor the repair of fire—damaged bridge,proper repair methods should be taken according to the degree and range of the structure’s damage.Meanwhile the safetyand economy of the repair methods should be concerned with by avoiding destructing the original structure,preserving the valuable structural members,and minimizing unnecessary demolishment and reconstruction。

Accident Analysis and PreventionThis paper describes a project undertaken to establish a self-explaining roads (SER) design programmeon existing streets in an urban area. The methodology focussed on developing a process to identifyfunctional road categories and designs based on endemic road characteristics taken from functionalexemplars in the study area. The study area was divided into two sections, one to receive SER treatments designed to maximise visual differences between road categories, and a matched control area to remainuntreated for purposes of comparison. The SER design for local roads included increased landscaping andcommunity islands to limit forward visibility, and removal of road markings to create a visually distinctroad environment. In comparison, roads categorised as collectors received increased delineation, additionof cycle lanes, and improved amenity for pedestrians. Speed data collected 3 months after implementationshowed a significant reduction in vehicle speeds on local roads and increased homogeneity of speeds onboth local and collector roads. The objective speed data, combined with r esidents’ speed choice ratings,indicated that the project was successful in creating two discriminably different road categories.2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.1. Introduction1.1. BackgroundChanging the visual characteristics of roads to influencedriver behaviour has come to be called the self-explaining roads(SER) approach (Theeuwes, 1998; Theeuwes and Godthelp, 1995;Rothengatter, 1999). Sometimes referred to as sustainable safety,as applied in the Netherlands, the logic behind the approach isthe use of road designs that evoke correct expectations and drivingbehaviours from road users (Wegman et al., 2005; Weller etal., 2008). The SER approach focuses on the three key principlesof functionality, homogeneity, and predictability (van Vliet andSchermers, 2000). In practice, functionality requires the creation ofa few well-defined road categories (e.g., through roads, distributorroads, and access roads) and ensuring that the use of a particularroad matches its intended function. Multifunctional roadslead to contradictory design requirements, confusion in the mindsof drivers, and incorrect expectations and inappropriate drivingbehaviour. Clearly defined road categories promote homogeneity intheir use and prevent large differences in vehicle speed, direction,and mass. Finally, predictability, or recognisability, means keepingthe road design and layout within each category as uniform as possibleand clearly differentiated from other categories so that thefunction of a road is easily recognised and will elicit the correctbehaviour from road users. The SER approach has been pursued tothe largest extent in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom but ithas also been of some interest inNewZealand. In 2004, the NationalRoad Safety Committee and the Ministry of Transport articulateda new National Speed Management Initiative which stated “Theemphas is is not just on speed limit enforcement, it includes perceptualmeasures that influence the speed that a driver feels is appropriatefor the section of road upon which they are driving–in effect the ‘selfexplainingroad”’ (New Zealand Ministry of Transport, 2004).In cognitive psychological terms, the SER approach attempts toimprove road safety via two complementary avenues. The first is toidentify and use road designs that afford desirable driver behaviour.Perceptual properties such as road markings, delineated lane width,and roadside objects can function as affordances that serve as builtininstructions and guide driver behaviour, either implicitly orexplicitly (Charlton, 2007a; Elliott et al., 2003; Weller et al., 2008).This work is more or less a direct development of work on perceptualcountermeasures, perceptual cues in the roading environmentthat imply or suggest a particular speed or lane position, eitherattentionally or perceptually (Charlton, 2004, 2007b; Godley et al.,1999).A second aspect of the SER approach is to establish mentalschemata and scripts, memory representations that will allowroad users to easily categorise the type of road on which they are.1.2. Localised speed managementThe traditional approaches to improving speed management,traffic calming and local area traffic management (LATM) havefocussed on treating specific problem locations or “black spots”in response to crash occurrences or complaints from the public(Ewing, 1999). A potential disadvantage of these approaches is thataddressing the problem with localised treatments can lead to are-emergence of the problem at another location nearby. Further,when applied inappropriately, localised approaches may addressthe problem from only one perspective, without considering theimpact on other types of road users or residents. When traffic calmingtreatments rely on physical obstacles such as speed humpsthey can be very unpopular with bothresidents and road users andcan create new problems associated with noise, maintenance, andvandalism (Martens et al., 1997).From an SER perspective, treatments that are highly localizedor idiosyncratic may do more harm than good by adding to themultiplicity of road categories and driver uncertainty, rather thanbuilding driver expectations around a few uniform road types.Instead of considering a single location in isolation, SER roaddesigns are considered within a hierarchy of road functions; e.g.,access roads, collector roads, and arterial roads. Although SERschemes may employ physical design elements used in trafficcalming schemes (e.g., road narrowing with chicanes and accesscontrols) they also employ a range of more visually oriented featuressuch as median and edge line treatments, road markings,pavement surfaces, and roadside furniture. For an effective SERscheme it is important to select the combination of features that will afford the desired driver speeds and to ensure their consistentuse to form distinct categories of road types (van der Horst andKaptein, 1998; Wegman et al., 2005).road category that would meet the three SER principles of functional use, homogeneous use, and predictable use. Herrstedt (2006)reported on the use of a standardised catalogue of treatments compiledfrom researcher and practitioner advice. Goldenbeld and vanSchagen (2007) used a survey technique to determine road characteristicsthat minimise the difference between drivers’ ratingsof preferred speed and perceived safe speed and select road featuresthat make posted speeds “credible”. Aarts and Davidse (2007)used a driving simulator to verify whether the “essential recognisabilitycharacteristics” of different road classes conformed to theexpectations of road users. Weller et al. (2008) employed a range of statistical techniques, including factor analysis and categoricalclustering to establish the road characteristics that drivers use tocategorise different road types.The practical difficulties of implementing an SER system thusbecome a matter of finding answers to a series of questions. Howdoes one create a discriminable road hierarchy for an existingroad network? What road characteristics should be manipulatedto establish category-defining road features? How can SER roadfeatures and selection methods be made relevant and appropriatefor a local context? (Roaddesigns appropriate for The Netherlandswould not be suitable in New Zealand, in spite of its name.) A surveyof national and international expert opinion in order establishcategory-defining road features for New Zealand roads revealedthat the regional character and local topography of roads oftenundercut the usefulness of any standardised catalogue of designcharacteristics (Charlton and Baas, 2006).1.4. Goals of the present projectThe project described in this paper sought to develop anddemonstrate an SER process based on retrofitting existing roadsto establish a clear multi-level road hierarchy with appropriatedesign speeds, ensuring that each level in the hierarchy possesseda different “look and feel”. Rather than transferring SER designs already in use internationally, the project attempted to develop amethod that would build on the features of roads in the local area;extending road characteristics with desirable affordances to otherroads lacking them and creating discriminable road categories inthe process. Of interest was whether such a process could producecost-effective designs and whether those designs would be effectivein creating different road user expectations and distinct speedprofiles for roads of different categories.2. MethodsThe research methodology/SER design process developed forthis project progressed through a series of five stages: (1) selectionof study area; (2) identification of the road hierarchy; (3) analysisof the road features; (4) development of a design template; and (5)implementation and evaluation of the SER treatments. Each of thestages is described in the sections that follow.2.1.

The use of asphalt as a cementing agent in pavements is the most common of its applications, however, and the one that will be consid ered here.Asphalt products are used to produce flexibl e pavements for highways and airports. The term “fl exible” is used to distinguish these pavements from those made with Portland cement, which are classified as rigid pavements, that is, having beam strength. This distinction is important because it provid es they key to the design approach which must be used for successful flexibl e pavement structures.The flexibl e pavement classification may be further broken d own into high and l ow types, the type usually depending on whether a solid or liquid asphalt product is used. The l ow types of pavement are mad e with the cutback, or emulsion, liquid products and are very widely used throughout this country. Descriptive terminology has been devel oped in various sections of the country to the extent that one pavement type may have several names. However, the general process foll owed in construction is similar for most l ow-type pavements and can be described as one in which the aggregate and the asphalt product are usually applied to the roadbed separately and there mixed or all owed to mix, forming the pavement.The high type of asphalt pavements is made with asphalt cements of some sel ected penetration grad e.Fig. ·1 A modern asphalt concrete highway. Should er striping is used as a safely feature.Fig. ·2 Asphalt concrete at the San Francisco International Airport.They are used when high wheel l oads and high volumes of traffic occur and are, therefore, often designed for a particular installation.2 . Theory of asphalt concrete mix designHigh types of flexible pavement are constructed by combining an asphalt cement, often in the penetration grad e of 85 to 100, with aggregates that are usually divided into three groups, based on size. The three groups are coarse aggregates, fine aggregates, and mineral filler. These will be discussed in d etail in later chapter.Each of the constituent parts mentioned has a particular function in the asphalt mixture, and mix proportioning or d esign is the process of ensuring that no function is negl ected. Before these individual functions are examined, however, the criteria for pavement success and failure should be consid ered so that d esign objectives can be established.A successful fl exible pavement must have several particular properties. First, it must be stable, that is to resistant to permanent displacement under l oad. Deformation of an asphalt pavement can occur in three ways, two unsatisfactory and one desirable. Plastic d eformationof a pavement failure and which is to be avoid ed if possible. Compressive deformation of the pavement results in a dimensional change in the pavement, and with this change come a l oss of resiliency and usually a d egree of roughness. This deformation is less serious than the one just described, but it, too, leads to pavement failure. The desirabl e type of deformation is an elastic one, which actually is beneficial to flexibl e pavements and is necessary to their long life.The pavement should be durable and should offer protection to the subgrade. Asphalt cement is not impervious to the effects of weathering, and so the design must minimize weather susceptibility. A durable pavement that does not crack or ravel will probably also protect the roadbed. It must be remembered that fl exible pavements transmit l oads to the subgrad e without significant bridging action, and so a dry firm base is absolutely essential.Rapidly moving vehicl es d epend on the tire-pavement friction factor for control and safety. The texture of the pavement surfaces must be such that an adequate skid resistance is developed or unsafe conditions result. The design procedure should be used to sel ect the asphalt material and aggregates combination which provid es a skid resistant roadway.Design procedures which yield paving mixtures embodying all these properties are not available. Sound pavements are constructed where materials and methods are selected by using time-tested tests and specifications and engineering judgments al ong with a so-call ed design method.The final requirement for any pavement is one of economy. Economy, again, cannot be measured directly, since true economy only begins with construction cost and is not fully determinable until the full useful life of the pavement has been record ed. If, however, the requirements for a stable, durable, and safe pavement are met with a reasonable safety factor, then the best interests of economy have probably been served as well.With these requirements in mind, the functions of the constituent parts can be examined with consideration give to how each part contributes to now-established objectives or requirements. The functions of the aggregates is to carry the l oad imposed on the pavement, and this is accomplished by frictional resistance and interl ocking between the individual pieces of aggregates. The carrying capacity of the asphalt pavement is, then, related to the surface texture (particularly that of the fine aggregate) and the density, or “compactness,”, of the aggregates. Surface texture varies with different aggregates, and while a rough surfacetexture is desired, this may not be available in some l ocalities. Dense mixtures are obtained by using aggregates that are either naturally or artificially “well grad ed”. This means that the fine aggregate serves to fill the voids in the coarser aggregates. In addition to affecting density and therefore strength characteristics, the grading also influences workability. When an excess of coarse aggregate is used, the mix becomes harsh and hard to work. When an excess of mineral filler is used, the mixes become gummy and difficult to manage.The asphalt cement in the fl exibl e pavement is used to bind the aggregate particl es together and to waterproof the pavements. Obtaining the proper asphalt content is extremely important and bears a significant influence on all the items marking a successful pavement. A chief objective of all the design methods which have been devel oped is to arrive at the best asphalt content for a particular combination of aggregates.3 . Mix design principl esCertain fundamental principles underlie the design procedures that have been developed. Before these procedures can be properly studied or applied, some consid eration of these principles is necessary.Asphalt pavements are composed of aggregates, asphalt cement, and voids. Consid ering the aggregate alone, all the space between particles is void space. The volume of aggregate voids depends on grading and can vary widely. When the asphalt cement is ad ded, a portion of these aggregate voids is fill ed and a final air-void volume is retained. The retention of thisair-void volume is very important to the characteristics of the mixture. The term air-void volume is used, since these voids are weightless and are usually expressed as a percentage of the total volume of the compacted mixture.An asphalt pavement carries the applied load by particl e friction and interlock. If the particl es are pushed apart for any reason , then the pavement stability is d estroyed. This factor indicates that certainly no more asphalt shoul d be ad ded than the aggregate voids can readily hold. However ,asphalt cement is susceptible to volume change and the pavement is subject to further compaction under use. If the pavement has no air voids when placed, or if it loses them under traffic, then the expanding asphalt will overfl ow in a condition known as bleeding. The l oss of asphalt cement through bl eeding weakens the pavement and also reduces surface friction, making the roadway hazard ous.Fig. ·3 Cross section of an asphalt concrete pavement showing the aggregate framework bound together by asphalt cement.The need for a minimum air-void volume (usually 2 or 3 per cent ) has been established. In addition, a maximum air-void volume of 5 to 7 per cent shoul d not be exceed. An excess of air voids promotes raveling of the pavement and also permits water to enter and speed up the deteriorating processes. Also, in the presence of excess air the asphalt cement hard ens and ages with an accompanying loss of durability and resiliency.The air-void volume of the mix is determined by the d egree of compaction as well as by the asphalt content. For a given asphalt content, a lightly compacted mix will have a large voids volume and a l ower d ensity and a greater strength will result. In the laboratory, the compaction is controlled by using a specified hammer and regulating the number of bl ows and the energy per blow. In the fiel d, the compaction and the air voids are more difficult to control and tests must be made no specimens taken from the compacted pavement to cheek on the d egree of compaction being obtained. Traffic further compact the pavement, andall owance must be mad e for this in the design. A systematic checking of the pavement over an extend ed period is needed to given factual information for a particular mix. A change in density of several per cent is not unusual, however.Asphalt content has been discussed in connection with various facets of the ix design problem. It is a very important factor in the mix design and has a bearing an all the characteristics ld a successful pavement: stability, skid resistance, durability, and economy. As has been mentioned, the various design procedures are intended to provid e a means for selecting the asphalt content . These tests will be consid ered in detail in a future chapter ,butthe relationship between asphalt content and the measurable properties of stability, unit weight, and air voids will be discussed here.Fig.4 Variations in stability, unit weight, and air-void content with asphalt cement content.If the gradation and type of aggregate, the degree of compaction, and the type of asphalt cement are controll ed, then the strength varies in a predictable manner. The strength will increase up to some optimum asphalt content and then decrease with further additions. The pattern of strength variation will be different when the other mix factors are changed, and so only a typical pattern can be predicted prior to actual testing.Unit weight varies in the same manner as strength when all other variabl e are controll ed. It will reach some peak value at an asphalt content near that determined from the strength curve and then fall off with further additions.As already mentioned, the air-void volume will vary with asphalt content. However, the manner of variation is different in that increased asphalt content will d ecrease air-void volume to some minimum value which is approached asymptotically. With still greater additions of asphalt material the particles of aggregate are only pushed apart and no change occurs in air-void volume.In summary, certain principles involving aggregate gradation, air-void volume, asphalt content, and compaction mist be understood before proceeding to actual mix d esign. The proper design based on these principl es will result in sound pavements. If these principles are overl ooked, the pavement may fail by one or more of the recognized modes of failure: shoving, rutting, corrugating, becoming slick when the max is too ‘rich’; raveling, cracking, having low durability whe n the mix is too ‘l ean’.It should be again emphasized that the strength of flexible is, more accurately, a stabilityand d oes not indicate any ability to bridge weak points in the subgrade by beam strength. No asphalt mixture can be successful unless it rests on top of a properly designed and constructed base structure. This fact, that the surface is no better than the base, must be continually in the minds of those concerned with any aspect of fl exible pavement work.译文:沥青混合料的应用、理论和原则1、应用沥青材料如今在建筑行业广泛使用。

The bridgeinspector will primarily be concerned with statics, or the branch of mechanicsdealing with solid bodies at rest and with forces in equilibrium.The two most important reasons for a bridge inspector to study bridge mechanicsare:Ø To understand how bridge members functionØ To recognize the impact a defect may have on the load-carrying capacityof a bridge component or elementWhile this section presents the basic principles of bridge mechanics, the referenceslisted in the bibliography should be referred to for a more complete presentation ofthis subject.P.1.2Bridge Design Loadings Bridge design loadings are loads that a bridge is designed to carry or resist and which determine the size and configuration of its members. Bridge members are designed to withstand the loads acting on them in a safe and economical manner. Loads may be concentrated or distributed depending on the way in which they are applied to the structure.A concentrated load, or point load, is applied at a single location or over a very small area. Vehicle loads are considered concentrated loads.A distributed load is applied to all or part of the member, and the amount of load per unit of length is generally constant. The weight of superstructures, bridge decks, wearing surfaces, and bridge parapets produce distributed loads. Secondary loads, such as wind, stream flow, earth cover and ice, are also usually distributed loads.Highway bridge design loads are established by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO). For many decades, the primary bridge design code in the United States was the AASHTO Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges (Specifications), as supplemented by agency criteria as applicable.During the 1990’s AASHTO developed and approved a new bridge design code, entitled AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. It is based upon the principles of Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), as described in Topic P.1.7.P.1.1SECTION P: Basic Concepts PrimerTopic P.1: Bridge MechanicsP.1.2Bridge design loadings can be divided into three principal categories:Ø Dead loadsØ Primary live loads Ø Secondary loadsDead LoadsDead loads do not change as a function of time and are considered full-time, permanent loads acting on the structure. They consist of the weight of the materials used to build the bridge (see Figure P.1.1). Dead load includes both the self-weight of structural members and other permanent external loads. They can be broken down into two groups, initial and superimposed.Initial dead loads are loads which are applied before the concrete deck is hardened, including the beam itself and the concrete deck. Initial deck loads must be resisted by the non-composite action of the beam alone. Superimposed dead loads are loads which are applied after the concrete deck has hardened (on a composite bridge), including parapets and any anticipated future deck pavement. Superimposed dead loads are resisted by the beam and the concrete deck acting compositely. Non-composite and composite action are described in Topic P.1.10.Dead load includes both the self-weight of the structural members and other permanent external loads.Example of self-weight: A 6.1 m (20-foot) long beam weighs 0.73 kN per m (50 pounds per linear foot). The total weight of the beam is 4.45 kN (1000 pounds). This weight is called the self-weight of the beam.Example of an external dead load: If a utility such as a water line is permanently attached to the beam in the previous example, then the weight of the water line is an external dead load. The weight of the water line plus the self weight of the beam comprises the total dead load.Total dead load on a structure may change during the life of the bridge due to additions such as deck overlays, parapets, utility lines, and inspection catwalks.Figure P.1.1 Dead Load on a BridgePrimary Live LoadsLive loads are considered part-time or temporary loads, mostly of short-term duration, acting on the structure. In bridge applications, the primary live loads are moving vehicular loads (see Figure P.1.2).To account for the affects of speed, vibration, and momentum, highway live loads are typically increased for impact. Impact is expressed as a fraction of the liveSECTION P: Basic Concepts PrimerTopic P.1: Bridge MechanicsP.1.3load, and its value is a function of the span length.Standard vehicle live loads have been established by AASHTO for use in bridge design and rating. It is important to note that these standard vehicles do not represent actual vehicles. Rather, they were developed to allow a relatively simple method of analysis based on an approximation of the actual live load.Figure P.1.2 Vehicle Live Load on a BridgeAASHTO Truck LoadingsThere are two basic types of standard truck loadings described in the current AASHTO Specifications . The first type is a single unit vehicle with two axles spaced at 14 feet (4.3 m) and designated as a highway truck or "H" truck (see Figure P.1.3). The weight of the front axle is 20% of the gross vehicle weight, while the weight of the rear axle is 80% of the gross vehicle weight. The "H" designation is followed by the gross tonnage of the particular design vehicle.Example of an H truck loading: H20-35 indicates a 20 ton vehicle with a front axle weighing 4 tons, a rear axle weighing 16 tons, and the two axles spaced 14 feet apart. This standard truck loading was first published in 1935.The second type of standard truck loading is a two unit, three axle vehicle comprised of a highway tractor with a semi-trailer. It is designated as a highway semi-trailer truck or "HS" truck (see Figure P.1.4).The tractor weight and wheel spacing is identical to the H truck loading. The semi-trailer axle weight is equal to the weight of the rear tractor axle, and its spacing from the rear tractor axle can vary from 4.3 to 9.1 m (14 to 30 feet). The "HS" designation is followed by a number indicating the gross weight in tons of the tractor only.SECTION P: Basic Concepts PrimerTopic P.1: Bridge MechanicsP.1.414’-0”(4.3 m)8,000 lbs (35 kN) 32,000 lbs (145 kN)(3.0 m)10’-0”CLEARANCE AND LOAD LANE WIDTH6’-0” (1.8 m)2’-0” (0.6 m)Figure P.1.3 AASHTO H20 Truck14’-0”(4.3 m)8,000 lbs (35 kN) 32,000 lbs (145 kN)(3.0 m)10’-0”CLEARANCE AND LOAD LANE WIDTH6’-0”(1.8 m)2’-0” (0.6 m)32,000 lbs (145 kN)VFigure P.1.4 AASHTO HS20 TruckExample of an HS truck loading: HS20-44 indicates a vehicle with a front tractor axle weighing 4 tons, a rear tractor axle weighing 16 tons, and a semi-trailer axle weighing 16 tons. The tractor portion alone weighs 20 tons, but the gross vehicle weight is 36 tons. This standard truck loading was first published in 1944.In specifications prior to 1944, a standard loading of H15 was used. In 1944, theSECTION P: Basic Concepts Primer Topic P.1: Bridge MechanicsP.1.5H20-44 Loading HS20-44 Loadingpolicy of affixing the publication year of design loadings was adopted. In specifications prior to 1965, the HS20-44 loading was designated as H20-S16-44, with the S16 identifying the gross axle weight of the semi-trailer in tons.The H and HS vehicles do not represent actual vehicles, but can be considered as "umbrella" loads. The wheel spacings, weight distributions, and clearance of the Standard Design Vehicles were developed to give a simpler method of analysis, based on a good approximation of actual live loads.The H and HS vehicle loads are the most common loadings for design, analysis, and rating, but other loading types are used in special cases.AASHTO Lane LoadingsIn addition to the standard truck loadings, a system of equivalent lane loadings was developed in order to provide a simple method of calculating bridge response to a series, or “train”, of trucks. Lane loading consists of a uniform load per linear foot of traffic lane combined with a concentrated load located on the span to produce the most critical situation (see Figure P.1.5).For design and load capacity rating analysis, an investigation of both a truck loading and a lane loading must be made to determine which produces the greatest stress for each particular member. Lane loading will generally govern over truck loading for longer spans. Both the H and HS loadings have corresponding lane loads.* Use two concentrated loads for negative moment in continuous spans (Refer to AASHTO Page 23)Figure P.1.5 AASHTO Lane Loadings.Alternate Military LoadingThe Alternate Military Loading is a single unit vehicle with two axles spaced at 1.2 m (4 feet) and weighing 110 kN (12 tons)each. It has been part of the AASHTO Specifications since 1977. Bridges on interstate highways or other highways which are potential defense routes are designed for either an HS20 loading or an Alternate Military Loading (see Figure P.1.6).SECTION P: Basic Concepts PrimerTopic P.1: Bridge MechanicsP.1.6110 kN (24 k)110 kN (24 k)Figure P.1.6 Alternate Military LoadingLRFD Live LoadsThe AASHTO LRFD design vehicular live load, designated HL-93, is a modified version of the HS-20 highway loadings from the AASHTO StandardSpecifications. Under HS-20 loading as described earlier, the truck or lane load is applied to each loaded lane. Under HL-93 loading, the design truck or tandem, in combination with the lane load, is applied to each loaded lane.The LRFD design truck is exactly the same as the AASHTO HS-20 design truck. The LRFD design tandem, on the other hand, consists of a pair of 110 kN axials spread at 1.2 m (25 kip axles spaced 4 feet) apart. The transverse wheel spacing of all of the trucks is 6 feet.The magnitude of the HL-93 lane load is equal to that of the HS-20 lane load. The lane load is 9 kN per meter (0.64 kips per linear foot) longitudinally and it is distributed uniformly over a 3 m (10 foot) width in the transverse direction. The difference between the HL-93 lane load and the HS-20 lane load is that the HL-93 lane load does not include a point load.Finally, for LRFD live loading, the dynamic load allowance, or impact, is applied to the design truck or tandem but is not applied to the design lane load. It is typically 33 percent of the design vehicle.Permit VehiclesPermit vehicles are overweight vehicles which, in order to travel a state’s highways, must apply for a permit from that state. They are usually heavy trucks (e.g., combination trucks, construction vehicles,or cranes) that have varying axle spacings depending upon the design of the individual truck. To ensure that these vehicles can safely operate on existing highways and bridges, most states require that bridges be designed for a permit vehicle or that the bridge be checked to determine if it can carry a specific type of vehicle. For safe and legal operation, agencies issue permits upon request that identify the required gross weight, number of axles, axle spacing, and maximum axle weights for a designated route (see Figure P.1.7).SECTION P: Basic Concepts PrimerTopic P.1: Bridge MechanicsP.1.7Figure P.1.7 910 kN (204 kip) Permit Vehicle (for Pennsylvania)Secondary LoadsIn addition to dead loads and primary live loads, bridge components are designed to resist secondary loads, which include the following:Ø Earth pressure - a horizontal force acting on earth-retaining substructureunits, such as abutments and retaining wallsØ Buoyancy -the force created due to the tendency of an object to rise whensubmerged in waterØ Wind load on structure - wind pressure on the exposed area of a bridge Ø Wind load on live load -wind effects transferred through the live loadvehicles crossing the bridgeØ Longitudinal force -a force in the direction of the bridge caused bybraking and accelerating of live load vehiclesØ Centrifugal force -an outward force that a live load vehicle exerts on acurved bridgeØ Rib shortening -a force in arches and frames created by a change in thegeometrical configuration due to dead loadØ Shrinkage - applied primarily to concrete structures, this is a multi-directional force due to dimensional changes resulting from the curing processØ Temperature -since materials expand as temperature increases andcontract as temperature decreases, the force caused by these dimensional changes must be consideredØ Earthquake -bridge structures must be built so that motion during anearthquake will not cause a collapseØ Stream flow pressure -a horizontal force acting on bridge componentsconstructed in flowing waterØ Ice pressure - a horizontal force created by static or floating ice jammedagainst bridge componentsØ Impact loading - the dynamic effect of suddenly receiving a live load;this additional force can be up to 30% of the applied primary live load forceØ Sidewalk loading - sidewalk floors and their immediate supports aredesigned for a pedestrian live load not exceeding 4.1 kN per square meter (85 pounds per square foot)Ø Curb loading -curbs are designed to resist a lateral force of not less than7.3 kN per linear meter (500 pounds per linear foot)Ø Railing loading -railings are provided along the edges of structures forprotection of traffic and pedestrians; the maximum transverse load appliedto any one element need not exceed 44.5 kN (10 kips)SECTION P: Basic Concepts PrimerTopic P.1: Bridge MechanicsP.1.8A bridge may be subjected to several of these loads simultaneously. The AASHTO Specifications have established a table of loading groups. For each group, a set of loads is considered with a coefficient to be applied for each particular load. The coefficients used were developed based on the probability of various loads acting simultaneously.P.1.3Material Response to LoadingsEach member of a bridge has a unique purpose and function, which directly affects the selection of material, shape, and size for that member. Certain terms are used to describe the response of a bridge material to loads. A working knowledge of these terms is essential for the bridge inspector.ForceA force is the action that one body exerts on another body. Force has two components: magnitude and direction (see Figure P.1.8). The basic English unit of force is called pound (abbreviated as lb.). The basic metric unit of force is called Newton (N). A common unit of force used among engineers is a kip (K), which is 1000 pounds. In the metric system, the kilonewton (kN), which is 1000 Newtons, is used. Note: 1 kip = 4.4 kilonewton.FyFigure P.1.8 Basic Force ComponentsStressStress is a basic unit of measure used to denote the intensity of an internal force. When a force is applied to a material, an internal stress is developed. Stress is defined as a force per unit of cross-sectional area.The basic English unit of stress is pounds per square inch (abbreviated as psi). However, stress can also be expressed in kips per square inch (ksi) or in any other units of force per unit area. The basic metric unit of stress is Newton per square meter, or Pascal (Pa). An allowable unit stress is generally established for a given material.

Published works by Lahire (1695)and Belidor (1792) about the theoretical a nalysis of structures provided the basis in the field of mechanics of materials .Kuzmanovic(1977) focuses on stone and wood as the first bridge-building materials. Iron was introduced during the transitional period from wood to steel .According to recent records , concrete was used in France as early as 1840 for a bridge 39 feet (12 m) long to span the Garoyne Canal at Grisoles, but r einforced concrete was not introduced in bridge construction until the beginnin g of this century . Prestressed concrete was first used in 1927.Stone bridges of the arch type (integrated superstructure and substructure) were constructed in Rome and other European cities in the middle ages . Thes e arches were half-circular , with flat arches beginning to dominate bridge wor k during the Renaissance period. This concept was markedly improved at the e nd of the eighteenth century and found structurally adequate to accommodate f uture railroad loads . In terms of analysis and use of materials , stone bridges have not changed much ,but the theoretical treatment was improved by introd ucing the pressure-line concept in the early 1670s(Lahire, 1695) . The arch the ory was documented in model tests where typical failure modes were considered (Frezier,1739).Culmann(1851) introduced the elastic center method for fixed-e nd arches, and showed that three redundant parameters can be found by the us e of three equations of coMPatibility.Wooden trusses were used in bridges during the sixteenth century when P alladio built triangular frames for bridge spans 10 feet long . This effort also f ocused on the three basic principles og bridge design : convenience(serviceabili ty) ,appearance , and endurance(strength) . several timber truss bridges were co nstructed in western Europe beginning in the 1750s with spans up to 200 feet (61m) supported on stone substructures .Significant progress was possible in t he United States and Russia during the nineteenth century ,prompted by the ne ed to cross major rivers and by an abundance of suitable timber . Favorable e conomic considerations included initial low cost and fast construction .The transition from wooden bridges to steel types probably did not begin until about 1840 ,although the first documented use of iron in bridges was the chain bridge built in 1734 across the Oder River in Prussia . The first truss completely made of iron was in 1840 in the United States , followed by Eng land in 1845 , Germany in 1853 , and Russia in 1857 . In 1840 , the first ir on arch truss bridge was built across the Erie Canal at Utica .The Impetus of AnalysisThe theory of structures ,developed mainly in the ninetheenth century,foc used on truss analysis, with the first book on bridges written in 1811. The Wa rren triangular truss was introduced in 1846 , supplemented by a method for c alculating the correcet forces .I-beams fabricated from plates became popular in England and were used in short-span bridges.In 1866, Culmann explained the principles of cantilever truss bridges, an d one year later the first cantilever bridge was built across the Main River in Hassfurt, Germany, with a center span of 425 feet (130m) . The first cantileve r bridge in the United States was built in 1875 across the Kentucky River.A most impressive railway cantilever bridge in the nineteenth century was the Fir st of Forth bridge , built between 1883 and 1893 , with span magnitudes of 1711 feet (521.5m).At about the same time , structural steel was introduced as a prime mater ial in bridge work , although its quality was often poor . Several early exampl es are the Eads bridge in St.Louis ; the Brooklyn bridge in New York ; and t he Glasgow bridge in Missouri , all completed between 1874 and 1883.Among the analytical and design progress to be mentioned are the contrib utions of Maxwell , particularly for certain statically indeterminate trusses ; the books by Cremona (1872) on graphical statics; the force method redefined by Mohr; and the works by Clapeyron who introduced the three-moment equation s.The Impetus of New MaterialsSince the beginning of the twentieth century , concrete has taken its place as one of the most useful and important structural materials . Because of the coMParative ease with which it can be molded into any desired shape , its st ructural uses are almost unlimited . Wherever Portland cement and suitable agg regates are available , it can replace other materials for certain types of structu res, such as bridge substructure and foundation elements .In addition , the introduction of reinforced concrete in multispan frames at the beginning of this century imposed new analytical requirements . Structures of a high order of redundancy could not be analyzed with the classical metho ds of the nineteenth century .The importance of joint rotation was already dem onstrated by Manderla (1880) and Bendixen (1914) , who developed relationshi ps between joint moments and angular rotations from which the unknown mom ents can be obtained ,the so called slope-deflection method .More simplification s in frame analysis were made possible by the work of Calisev (1923) , who used successive approximations to reduce the system of equations to one simpl e expression for each iteration step . This approach was further refined and int egrated by Cross (1930) in what is known as the method of moment distributi on .One of the most import important recent developments in the area of analytical procedures is the extension of design to cover the elastic-plastic range , also known as load factor or ultimate design. Plastic analysis was introduced with some practical observations by Tresca (1846) ; and was formulated by Sa int-Venant (1870) , The concept of plasticity attracted researchers and engineers after World War Ⅰ, mainly in Germany , with the center of activity shifting to England and the United States after World War Ⅱ.The probabilistic approa ch is a new design concept that is expected to replace the classical determinist ic methodology.A main step forward was the 1969 addition of the Federal Highway Adim inistration (F HWA)”Criteria for Reinforced Concrete Bridge Members “ that co vers strength and serviceability at ultimate design . This was prepared for use in conjunction with the 1969 American Association of State Highway Offficials (AASHO) Standard Specification, and was presented in a format that is readil y adaptable to the development of ultimate design specifications .According to this document , the proportioning of reinforced concrete members ( including c olumns ) may be limited by various stages of behavior : elastic , cracked , an d ultimate . Design axial loads , or design shears . Structural capacity is the r eaction phase , and all calculated modified strength values derived from theoret ical strengths are the capacity values , such as moment capacity ,axial load ca pacity ,or shear capacity .At serviceability states , investigations may also be n ecessary for deflections , maximum crack width , and fatigue .Bridge TypesA notable bridge type is the suspension bridge , with the first example bu ilt in the United States in 1796. Problems of dynamic stability were investigate d after the Tacoma bridge collapse , and this work led to significant theoretica l contributions Steinman ( 1929 ) summarizes about 250 suspension bridges bu ilt throughout the world between 1741 and 1928 .With the introduction of the interstate system and the need to provide stru ctures at grade separations , certain bridge types have taken a strong place in bridge practice. These include concrete superstructures (slab ,T-beams,concrete box girders ), steel beam and plate girders , steel box girders , composite const ruction , orthotropic plates , segmental construction , curved girders ,and cable-stayed bridges . Prefabricated members are given serious consideration , while interest in box sections remains strong .Bridge Appearance and AestheticsGrimm ( 1975 ) documents the first recorded legislative effort to control t he appearance of the built environment . This occurred in 1647 when the Cou ncil of New Amsterdam appointed three officials . In 1954 , the Supreme Cou rt of the United States held that it is within the power of the legislature to de termine that communities should be attractive as well as healthy , spacious as well as clean , and balanced as well as patrolled . The Environmental Policy Act of 1969 directs all agencies of the federal government to identify and dev elop methods and procedures to ensure that presently unquantified environmenta l amentities and values are given appropriate consideration in decision making along with economic and technical aspects .Although in many civil engineering works aesthetics has been practiced al most intuitively , particularly in the past , bridge engineers have not ignored o r neglected the aesthetic disciplines .Recent research on the subject appears to lead to a rationalized aesthetic design methodology (Grimm and Preiser , 1976 ) .Work has been done on the aesthetics of color ,light ,texture , shape , and proportions , as well as other perceptual modalities , and this direction is bot h theoretically and empirically oriented .Aesthetic control mechanisms are commonly integrated into the land-use re gulations and design standards . In addition to concern for aesthetics at the sta te level , federal concern focuses also on the effects of man-constructed enviro nment on human life , with guidelines and criteria directed toward improving quality and appearance in the design process . Good potential for the upgradin g of aesthetic quality in bridge superstructures and substructures can be seen in the evaluation structure types aimed at improving overall appearance .Lords and lording groupsThe loads to be considered in the design of substructures and bridge foun dations include loads and forces transmitted from the superstructure, and those acting directly on the substructure and foundation .AASHTO loads . Section 3 of AASHTO specifications summarizes the loa ds and forces to be considered in the design of bridges (superstructure and sub structure ) . Briefly , these are dead load ,live load , iMPact or dynamic effec t of live load , wind load , and other forces such as longitudinal forces , cent rifugal force ,thermal forces , earth pressure , buoyancy , shrinkage and long t erm creep , rib shortening , erection stresses , ice and current pressure , collisi on force , and earthquake stresses .Besides these conventional loads that are ge nerally quantified , AASHTO also recognizes indirect load effects such as fricti on at expansion bearings and stresses associated with differential settlement of bridge components .The LRFD specifications divide loads into two distinct cate gories : permanent and transient .Permanent loadsDead Load : this includes the weight DC of all bridge components , appu rtenances and utilities, wearing surface DW nd future overlays , and earth fill EV. Both AASHTO and LRFD specifications give tables summarizing the unit weights of materials commonly used in bridge work .Transient LoadsVehicular Live Load (LL) Vehicle loading for short-span bridges :considera ble effort has been made in the United States and Canada to develop a live lo ad model that can represent the highway loading more realistically than the H or the HS AASHTO models . The current AASHTO model is still the applica ble loading.桥梁工程和桥梁美学桥梁工程的发展概况早在公元前1世纪,Marcus Vitrucios Pollio 的著作中就有关于建筑材料和结构类型的记载和评述。

一根木头跨越小河是典型梁桥的一种最简单的实例。
在现代的钢梁桥结构形式中,最常见的两种型式是I 型梁桥和箱梁。
如果我们考察I型梁的横截面我们马上就能理解为什么它被冠以如此的名字(见插图1)。
梁的横断面采用了英文字母I大写的形状。
中间的垂直板被称为肋板,而顶部和底部的平面板指的就是凸缘。
要解释I型梁为什么是一种有效的截面型式是一项长期而艰巨的任务,因此在本篇文章中我们就不做解释了。
箱梁得名如同于I型梁一样,很明显,它的截面形状类似于一个箱子。
典型的箱梁截面型式有两个肋板和两个凸缘(见插图2)。
但是在某些情况下,两个以上的肋板就会形成存在剪力滞现象的多室箱梁。
其他梁桥的例子包括π型梁——因其截面类似于数学符号π而得名,还有T 型梁。
因为绝大部分现今建造的梁桥都属于箱梁或是I型梁,所以我们会跳过这些少见的截面类型。
现在我们了解了I型梁和箱梁之间的外形差异,让我们来看看这两种截面型式的优缺点。
I型梁截面设计和建造简单,在大部分情况下,使用效果也很好。
但是,如果梁桥有任何形式的弯曲,梁就会受扭,也就是众所周知的扭矩。
对比于I型梁,在箱梁中添加的第二个肋板增加了稳定性,也就增加了箱梁的抗扭性能。
这就使得箱梁截面成为存在显著曲线梁桥的理想选择。
箱梁结构更稳定可以跨越更长的距离且经常用于大跨径桥梁,而使用I型梁就不会有足够的强度和稳定性。
然而,设计构造箱梁桥相比于I型梁更为困难。
例如,为了焊接箱型梁内的接缝,人工或是机械就必须能够控制箱梁产生的剪力滞。
桁架桥桁架是一种简单的类似于骨骼的结构。
在结构力学中,简单桁架的单个组成部分只受到拉力和压缩力,而不存在弯曲力。
因此,在大多数情况下,所有梁桁架桥是直的。
桁架梁是由很多小桁架组成,支撑大量的重量,跨越较大的距离。
在大多数情况下,设计、制造和安装桁架是相对简单的。
然而,一旦组装的桁架占用较大的空间,以复杂的结构形成,就会分散司机的注意力。
像梁桥一样,既有简单的桁架桥,又有连续桁架桥。
桁架桥的各个部件体积小,使其成为在大型部件或部分部件不能装运或者大型起重机械和重型设备不能使用的地方处理想的桥梁型式。
由于桁架是一个空洞的骨架结构,道路可能越过(见插图2)甚至通过(见插图1),同时考虑到桥下的清场,这是其他桥型不能比的。
桁架也按基本设计使用来分类。
最具代表性的包括华伦桁架,普拉特桁架以及豪威桁架。
华伦桁架也许是包括简单或是连续桁架中最常见的型式。
对于跨度较小的,无垂直桁架可以给结构一个简单的外观(见插图1)。
对于跨度较大的桁架桥,垂直桁架可以提供额外的力(见插图2)。
华伦结构跨度通常为50~100米。
普拉特桁架因其对角线桁架组成除了两边均向跨度中心倾斜而得名。
除了靠近中心的对角线桁架,其他所有的桁架只有在垂直短桁架受压力时受到斜拉力。
这就使得可以用较为稀薄的桁架构成使得设计更为经济。
豪威桁架(见插图4)是普拉特桁架相反的结构。
对角线桁架朝向相反方向并承担压力。
这对于钢桥来说是非常不经济的,因此它的使用也是很少见的。
刚架桥刚构桥梁有时也被称为框架结构的桥梁。
在标准的梁桥中,主梁和桥墩是分开的结构。
然而刚构桥中主梁和桥墩是一个整体。
刚构桥的横截面通常是I型或是箱型。
连续刚构桥的设计计算比简支梁桥复杂。
桥墩和主梁的连接处制作困难,需要计算准确且注重细节。
尽管有许多可能的理论形状,但是近些年来使用的结构形式只有π型,斜腿形和V字型框架。
斜腿刚构桥特别适合于跨越河流山谷,因为倾斜一定角度的桥墩可以有效的跨越障碍而不需在河流中央修建基础或在山谷中修建桥墩(见插图1)。
V型刚构桥可以有效地利用基础。
每个V字型墩提供两个支撑梁的力,同时减少基础的数量,从而使得外形更加简单。
(见插图3)π型刚构结构通常用于内城高速公路的桥墩或是支撑。
该框架支撑起高出的公路,同时允许车辆从桥下直接通过。
(见插图2)拱桥在梁桥之后,拱桥是第二古老的桥式和经典结构。
不像简支梁桥,拱桥非常适合用石材建造。
许多古老知名的拱桥时至今日仍然伫立着。
穿越山谷与河流拱桥是个很好的选择,因为拱桥在中间部分不需要桥墩支撑。
拱桥可以成为更美桥型之一。
拱桥使用曲拱结构,提供一个高抗弯力。
不像梁桥和桁架桥,拱桥的两端固定在同一水平方向上(即不允许水平方向运动存在于轴之中)。
因此当负载在桥上(如一辆车通过时)水平力就会在拱的轴承中产生。
这些水平力对于拱桥来说是独特的,因此拱桥只能应用于地面基础牢固稳定的地方。
就像桁架桥一样,道路可能越过(见插图1)或者通过拱(见插图4)或者在某种情况下,两者都有(见插图3)。
结构上拱桥有四种基本结构形式:无铰拱,双铰拱,三铰拱和系杆拱桥。
无铰拱(见插图1)没有铰并且不允许基础的转动。
因此基础会承受大量的荷载(水平,垂直,弯曲力),因此无铰拱只能在地面基础十分稳定的情况下修建。
然而,无铰拱是一种非常僵硬的结构比其他拱产生的挠度也就相对少了。
两铰拱(见插图2)使用了允许转动的铰接轴承。
在轴承中只产生水平和垂直力。
这或许是最常用的钢拱的更改,通常也是一个经济的设计方式。
三铰拱(见插图3)增加了一个铰链在拱的顶部。
三铰拱因基础运动(地震,下沉等)受到的影响较小。
然而,三铰拱会遭受等多的挠度影响,铰链很复杂,难以制作。
因此三铰拱很少使用。
系杆拱桥(见插图4)是一种组合式拱桥,允许在地面不够稳固以抵抗水平力的变化的情况下建造。
连接拱的两端和本身而不是依赖基础来承受水平力,因此称之为系杆拱桥。
斜拉桥一座典型的斜拉桥(见插图1和2)是与一个或多个塔柱连续梁跨度中间桥墩的架设。
缆绳从这些塔柱上拉下(通常向两边)来支撑主梁。
钢缆绳非常强韧有弹性。
钢缆绳非常经济,且可以形成细长结构但仍然能跨越较远距离。
尽管少数的缆绳强度就足以支撑整个桥,他们的弹性使得缆绳很难承受我们很难考虑到得力:风力。
对于跨度较大的斜拉桥,必须做出仔细研究来确保缆绳和桥梁在风力作用下的稳定情况。
桥的重量越轻,对于风力的抵抗能力越弱,但是对于抵抗地震却是有利的。
但是,地震或是时间推移下地基的不均匀沉降会使斜拉桥产生破坏,因此必须认真规划基础。
斜拉桥即现代又简洁的外观,使之成为有吸引力独特的地标。
缆绳的独特属性以及其作为一个整体结构,使得斜拉桥的设计十分复杂。
较大跨度的斜拉桥,风力和温度的影响必须考虑,这个计算是非常复杂的,不得不借助计算机和计算机分析。
斜拉桥桥索的制作也比较困难。
桥索的布线和主塔的附件构造复杂,需要精密制造。
斜拉桥没有明显的分类。
但是,它可以根据跨越数,塔柱数,主梁类型和缆绳数量区分。
塔柱的数量和类型有很多变化,缆绳的数目和排列也有变化。
典型的主塔形式有:单柱、双柱、门形或是A型(见插图2和3)。
桥索的排列也不尽相同。
典型的型式有单面、扇形、竖琴型、星型(见插图4)。
在某些情况下,桥索只有在塔柱的一侧安装在梁上,另一侧被锚固在基础上或用以其他力来平衡。
悬索桥现如今使用的所有桥型中,悬索桥是跨越距离最长的桥型。
乍一看,这和悬浮的斜拉桥可能看起来很相似,但他们有很大的不同。
虽然大跨度悬索桥现如今技术领先,但他们其实是一种很古老的形式的桥。
一些最原始的悬索桥的例子是使用藤蔓和绳子作为缆索。
金属的发展带来了铁棍和锁链的使用。
但是知道钢丝索的引进才使得跨越500米以上成为现实。
今天明石海峡大桥拥有世界最长的1991米的跨度。
典型的悬索桥是与一个或多个桥塔通过缆绳与主梁在桥墩中央相连。
主梁本身在较短的跨度下是桁架或是箱梁,板梁并不少见。
桥的两端通过放置大型锚固设备或是重物用以固定缆绳。
主缆延伸从一个锚锭越过塔顶连接到另一个锚锭处。
这种跨越结构的缆绳称之为马鞍(检查图2)。
马鞍型允许缆绳从一边到另一边顺利地传递荷载。
从主缆悬挂下来的像挂钩一样的小缆绳悬挂下来连接在主梁上。
有些悬索桥不适用锚锭,缆绳直接连接主梁的两端。
依靠这些自锚悬索桥跨度的重量,以平衡中心跨度和锚定缆绳。
因此,不同于普通桥梁依靠墩台承重,悬索桥主梁或是桥面板实际上是悬挂在主索上。
桥的大部分重量和车辆荷载都被缆索承担。
反过来,缆绳由主塔支撑,因此主塔就必须支撑大量的重量。
正如以上解释的斜拉大桥钢缆索强度极强,然而灵活。
就像一个很强韧的绳子,那将是很好的为悬挂或拉一些事的选择,但是试图推动物体是没有用的。
大跨度悬索桥尽管在普通交通荷载下很强韧,极易受到风荷载的作用。
必须采取特殊的措施以确保大桥在强风下不晃动或是振动。
最著名的空气动力不稳定的大桥的例子是美国华盛顿州的塔科玛湾海峡大桥。
这篇英国布里斯托尔大学对于塔科玛湾海峡大桥灾难的优秀的网页照片和短片会解释为什么空气动力稳定性如此重要。
BridgesGirder BridgeA girder bridge is perhaps the most common and most basic bridge. A log across a creek is an example of a girder bridge in its simplest form. In modern steel girder bridges, the two most common girders are I-beam girders andbox-girders.If we look at the cross section of an I-beam girder we canimmediately understand why it is called an Ibeam(illustration #1.) The cross sectionof the girder takes the shape ofthe capital letter I. The verticalplate in the middle is known as the web, and the topand bottom plates are referred to as flanges. Toexplain why the I shape is an efficient shape for agirder is a long and difficult task so we won't attemptthat here.A box girder is much the sameas an I-beam girder except that, obviously, it takes theshape of a box. The typical box girder has two websand two flanges (illustration #2.)However, in some cases there are more than two webs, creating a multiple chamber box girder.Other examples of simple girders include pi girders, named for their likeness to the mathematical symbol for pi, and T shaped girders. Since the majority of girder bridges these days are built with box or I-beam girders we will skip the specifics of these rarer cases.Now that we know the basic physical differences between box girders andI-beam girders, let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of each. AnI-beam is very simple to design and build and works very well in most cases. However, if the bridge contains any curves, the beams become subject to twisting forces, also known as torque. The added second web in a box girder adds stability and increases resistance to twisting forces. This makes the box girder the ideal choice for bridges with any significant curve in them.Box girders, being more stable are also able to span greater distances and are often used for longer spans, where I-beams would not be sufficiently strong or stable. However, the design and fabrication of box girders is more difficult than that of I beams. For example, in order to weld the inside seams of a box girder, a human or welding robot must be able to operate inside the box girder. TrussThe truss is a simple skeletal structure. In design theory, the individual members of a simple truss are only subject to tension and compression forcesand not bending forces.Thus, for the most part, all beams in a truss bridge are straight. Trusses are comprised of many small beams that together cansupport a large amount of weight and span greatdistances. In most cases the design, fabrication, anderection of trusses is relatively simple. However, onceassembled trusses take up a greater amount of spaceand, in more complex structures, can serve as adistraction to drivers.Like the girderbridges, thereare both simpleand continuous trusses. The smallsize of individual parts of a truss make it the ideal bridge for places where large parts or sections cannot be shipped or where large cranes and heavy equipment cannot be used during erection. Because the truss is a hollow skeletal structure, the roadway may pass over (illustration #2) or even through (illustration #1) the structure allowing for clearance below the bridge often not possible with other bridge types.Trusses are also classified by the basic designused. The most representative trusses are theWarren truss, the Pratt truss, and the Howetruss. The Warren truss is perhaps the mostcommon truss for both simple and continuous trusses. For smaller spans, no vertical members are used lending the structure a simple look (illustration #1.) For longer spans vertical members are added providing extra strength (illustration #2.) Warren trusses are typically used in spans of between50-100m.The Pratt truss (illustration #3) is identified by itsdiagonal members which, except for the very endones, all slant down and in toward the center ofthe span. Except for those diagonal members near the center, all the diagonal members are subject to tension forces only while the shorter vertical members handle the compressive forces. This allows for thinner diagonal members resulting in a more economic design.The Howe truss (illustration #4) is the opposite ofthe Pratt truss. The diagonal members face in theopposite direction and handle compressive forces.This makes it very uneconomic design for steel bridges and its use is rarely seen.Rigid FrameRigid frame bridges are sometimes also known as Rahmen bridges. In a standard girder bridge, the girder and the piers are separate structures. However, a rigid frame bridge is one in which the piers and girder are one solid structure.The cross sections of the beams in a rigid frame bridge are usually I shaped or box shaped. Design calculations for rigid frame bridges are more difficult than those of simple girder bridges. The junction of the pier and the girder can be difficult to fabricate and requires accuracy and attention to detail.Though there are many possible shapes, the styles used almost exclusively these days are the pi-shaped frame, the batter post frame, and the V shaped frame.The batter post rigid frame bridge isparticularly well suited for river and valleycrossings because piers tilted at anangle can straddle the crossing more effectively without requiring the construction of foundations in the middle of the river or piers in deep parts of a valley (illustration #1).V shaped frames make effective use of foundations. Each V-shaped pierprovides two supports to the girder, reducingthe number of foundations and creating aless cluttered profile (illustration #3.)Pi shaped rigid frame structures are usedfrequently as the piers and supports for inner cityhighways. The frame supports the raised highway andat the same time allows traffic to run directly under thebridge (illustration #2.)ArchAfter girders, arches are the second oldest bridge type and a classic structure. Unlike simple girder bridges, arches are well suited to the use of stone. Many ancient and well know examples of stone arches still stand to this day. Arches are good choices for crossing valleys and rivers since the arch doesn't require piers in the center. Arches can be one of the more beautiful bridge types.Arches use a curved structure which provides a high resistance to bendingforces. Unlike girder and truss bridges, both ends of anarch are fixed in the horizontal direction (i.e. no horizontalmovement is allowed in the bearing). Thus when a load isplaced on the bridge (e.g. a car passes over it) horizontalforces occur in the bearings of the arch. These horizontalforces are unique to the arch and as a result arches canonly be used where the ground or foundation is solid andstableLike the truss, the roadway may pass over (illustration #1) or through an arch (illustration #4) or in some cases both (illustration #3.) Structurally there are four basic arch types: hinge-less, two-hinged, three hinged and tied arches.The hinge-less arch (illustration #1)uses no hinges and allows no rotationat the foundations. As a result a greatdeal of force is generated at thefoundation (horizontal, vertical, and bending forces) and the hinge-less arch can only be built where the ground is very stable. However, the hinge-less arch is a very stiff structure and suffers less deflection than other arches.The two hinged arch (illustration #2) uses hinged bearings which allow rotation.The only forces generated at thebearings are horizontal and verticalforces. This is perhaps the mostcommonly used variation for steelarches and is generally a veryeconomical design.The three-hinged arch (illustration #3)adds an additional hinge at the top orcrown of the arch. The three-hingedarch suffers very little if there ismovement in either foundation (due to earthquakes, sinking, etc.) However, the three-hinged arch experiences much more deflection and the hinges are complex and can be difficult to fabricate. The three-hinged arch is rarely used anymore.The tied arch (illustration #4) is a variation on the arch which allowsconstruction even if the ground is not solidenough to deal with the horizontal forces.Rather than relying on the foundation torestrain the horizontal forces, the girderitself "ties" both ends of the arch together, thus the name "tied arch."Cable StayedA typical cable stayed bridge (illustration #1 & 2) is a continuous girder with one or more towers erected above piers in the middle of the span. From these towers, cables stretch down diagonally (usually to both sides) and support the girder.Steel cables are extremely strong but veryflexible. Cables are very economical asthey allow a slender and lighter structurewhich is still able to span great distances. Though only a few cables are strong enough to support the entire bridge, their flexibility makes them weak to a force we rarely consider: the wind.For longer span cable-stayed bridges, careful studies must be made to guarantee the stability of the cables and the bridge inthe wind.The lighter weight of the bridge, though adisadvantage in a heavy wind, is anadvantage during an earthquake.However, should uneven settling of thefoundations occur during an earthquake orover time, the cable-stayed bridge cansuffer damage so care must be taken inplanning the foundations. The modern yet simple appearance ofthe cable-stayed bridge makes it an attractive and distinctlandmark.The unique properties of cables, and the structure as a whole, make the design of the bridge a very complex task. For longer spans where winds and temperatures must be considered, the calculations are extremely complex and would be virtually impossible without the aid of computers and computer analysis. The fabrication of cable stay bridges is also relatively difficult. The cable routing and attachments for the girders and towers are complex structures requiring precision fabrication.There are no distinct classifications for cable-stayed bridges. However, they can distinguished by the numberof spans, number of towers, girdertype, number of cables, etc. Thereare many variations in the numberand type of towers, as well as thenumber and arrangement ofcables. Typical towers used aresingle, double, portal, or even A-shaped towers (illustration #2 & 3.)Cable arrangements also vary greatly. Some typicalvarieties are mono, harp, fan, and star arrangements(illustration #4.) In some cases, only the cables on oneside of the tower are attached to the girder, the otherside being anchored to a foundation or othercounterweight.SuspensionOf all the bridge types in use today, the suspensionbridge allows for the longest spans. At first glance thesuspension and cable-stayed bridges may look similar,but they are quite different. Though suspensionbridges are leading long span technology today, theyare in fact a very old form of bridge. Some primitive examples of suspension bridges use vines and ropes for cables.The development of metals brought the use of linked iron bars and chains. But it was the introduction of steel wire ropes that allowed spans of over 500m to become a reality. Today the Akashi Kaikyo bridge boasts the world's longest center span of any bridge at 1,991 meters.A typical suspension bridge (illustration #1) is a continuous girder with one or more towers erected above piers in the middle of the span. The girder itself it usually a truss or box girder though in shorter spans, plate girders are not uncommon. At both ends of the bridge large anchors or counter weights are placed to hold the ends of the cables.The main cables are stretched from one anchor over the tops of the tower(s) and attached to the opposite anchor. The cables pass over a special structure known as a saddle (illustration #2.) The saddle allows the cables to slide as loads pull from one side or the other and to smoothly transfer the load from the cables to the tower.From the main cables, smaller cablesknown as hanger cables or hangerropes are hung down and attached tothe girder. Some suspension bridgesdo not use anchors, but instead attach the main cables to the ends of the girder. These self-anchoring suspension bridges rely on the weight of the end spans to balance the center span and anchor the cable.Thus, unlike normal bridges which rest on piers and abutments, the girder or roadway is actually hanging suspended from the main cables. The majority of the weight of the bridge and any vehicles on it are suspendedfrom the cables. In turn the cables are held up only by thetower(s), there is an incredible amount of weight that thetowers must be able to support.As explained in the cable stayed bridge section, steel cablesare extremely strong yet flexible. Like a very strong piece ofstring, it is good for hanging or pulling something, but it isuseless for trying to push something. Long span suspension bridges, though strong under normal traffic loads, are vulnerable to the forces of winds. Special measures are taken to assure that the bridge does not vibrate or sway excessively under heavy winds.The most famous example of an aerodynamically unstable bridge is the Tacoma Narrows Bridge in Washington state, USA. This page on the Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster at the University of Bristol has some excellent photos and short movies showing why aerodynamic stability is important.。
