Part 1 Introduction To Bridge Design
How Do Bridge Engineers Decide On What Type Of Bridge To Build? • Bridge Survey • flood plain cross sections • inspection reports • existing bridge (scour, etc) • water elevations • photos • existing roadway profile • Factors affecting choice of superstructure • location, city or rural • span length • vertical clearance • maintainability • environmental concerns • transportation to site issues • cost • Factors affecting choice of substructure • location and geometry • subsoil conditions • height of column • Geotechnical Report • soil / geological formations • slopes and grading • foundation problems • soil prop.’s - phi angles etc
Bridge Design Process • Preliminary Design Process • Bridge Survey • Geotechnical Report • Determine the most economical type structure and span arrangement • Hydraulic Analysis • Preliminary Cost Estimate • Foundation Borings • Determine Foundation Type • Final Design Process • Top to Bottom Design (twice) • Design methods per AASHTO and MoDOT Bridge Manual • Analysis via • computations • spreadsheets • computer programs • Detail plans are produced by technicians (Micro-Station) • Plans are checked • Quantities computed • Special Provisions written • Plans are advertised for bidding • Low Bid Contractor builds the bridge
Types of Superstructures • Bridges are often referred to by their superstructure types. • The superstructure system of members carry the roadway over a crossing and transfer load to a substructure. • Superstructures are categorized by; • Support type (simply supported or continuous) • Design type (slab on stringer, slab, arch. Rigid frame, etc) • Material type (steel, concrete, timber)
Slab on Stringer Bridges • Most common type of bridge in Missouri. • Consist of a deck, resting on the girders. The deck distributes the loads transversely to the girders. • The girders carry the loads longitudinally (down the length of the bridge) to the supports, (abutments and intermediate bents). • Concrete • Deck Girder • Prestressed I Girder • Prestressed Double Tee • Prestressed Box • Steel • Plate Girder • Wide Flange • Steel Box Girder
Prestressed Girders I - GIRDER BULB TEE
Slab Bridges In slab bridges the deck itself is the structural frame or the entire deck is a thin beam acting entirely as one primary member. These types are used where depth of structure is a critical factor. Typical Slab Bridges : Concrete Box Culverts Solid Slabs Voided Slabs
Triple Box Culvert Box Culvert
Voided Slab Bridge Solid Slab
Substructures • The substructure transfers the superstructure loads to the foundations. • End Abutments • Integral Abutment - girders on beam supported by piles, girders “concreted” into the diaphragm • Non-Integral Abutment - diaphragms of steel cross-frames, uses expansion devices • Semi-Deep Abutment - used when spanning divided highways to help shorten span • Open C.C. Abutment - beam supported by columns and footings, rarely used • Intermediate bents • Open Concrete Bent - beams supported by columns and footings (or drilled shafts) either a concrete diaphragm (Pre-Stressed Girder) or steel diaphragm (Plate Girder) This is the most common type of Pier MoDOT uses. • Pile Cap Bent - beams supported by piling (HP or C.I.P.) and are used when the column height is less than 15 feet and usually in rural areas. • Hammer Head Bent - single oval or rectangular column and footing. • Spread footings - are used when rock or soil can support the structure. • Pile footings - rectangular c.c. supported by HP or Cast in Place piles • Drilled Shafts - holes drilled into bedrock filled with concrete
Pile Cap Column Footing Footing
Preliminary Design • Bridge location • Hydraulic design to determine required bridge length and profile grade • Bridge type selection
