M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek • Bridge to Culvert Replacement • $1.27M Programmed Cost • $270,000 Innovative Bridge Research and Deployment Program Federal Grant Existing Harbor Beach Creek Bridge
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek • Composite Arch Culvert System • aka “Bridge in a Backpack”
“Bridge in a Backpack” Arches inflated and formed Composite decking Installing arches
“Bridge in a Backpack” Filling arches with concrete Backfill to road Fascia
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek • Traffic currently detoured • Fix Life of >75 years • Every Day Counts • Faster + Cheaper + Safer + Smarter = Better Existing Harbor Beach Creek Bridge
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek • Started in Spring 2012 • Original completion date August 25 Sixteen 12” diameter arch tubes arriving at project site
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek Arch end section Inlet holes for concrete
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek Large lateral forces from arches required battered piles First arch rib install
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek Reinforcement for arch end anchoring into abutment Multiple arch tubes installed
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek Arch tube installation complete Finishing concrete around arch tube endings
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek Composite decking installation
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek Expansive Self Consolidating Concrete (SCC) slump flow test Measuring slump flow
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek Filling arches from top with SCC Sounding for voids – 8/9
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek • Challenges: • Still need a conventional deep foundation • Remote project location, readi-mix supplier 1 hour away • Issues with SCC remaining fluid and workable long enough • Concrete setting too fast in arch ribs causing voids • Working with AIT to resolve issues: • Revising SCC mix with additional admixtures • Drilling additional holes in arch ribs to fill voids with grout • Identify high stress areas via finite model to avoid drilling in those locations
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek • When arches complete and composite with concrete, a 7” concrete overlay will be cast over the composite decking for lateral stability • Decorative composite finish will be placed on headwalls and wingwalls • Placement of roadway fill and pavement section
M-25 over Harbor Beach Creek • Design specifications recently voted on and approved by AASHTO Subcommittee on Bridges and Structures
