Book excerpt: The major focus of this research was to validate the concept of connecting two adjacent simple-span girders with a link slab to form a jointless bridge deck so as to eliminate the standard deck joint between the girders. Laboratory tests were conducted on two large-scale specimens to study the performance of the link slab and the girders. The test results indicated that the contribution of link slab to structural continuity is negligible since the stiffness of the link slab is much less than that of the beams with composite decks. Therefore the beams can be treated as simply supported structures without considering the link slab. Furthermore, the stresses in the link slab are controlled primarily by the predominant bending effect due to the end rotations of the beams rather than the axial load effect. A simplified method of analysis is proposed in which the end rotations of the two adjacent girders under a given loading are determined first. Then the end rotations are imposed on the ends of the link slab and the induced moment in the link slab is thus calculated. A design guideline for the link slab is also proposed and illustrated by a design example. The reinforcement for the link slab is designed to control the crack width in the link slab according to the AASHTO criterion.

Download or read book High Skew Link Slab Bridge System with Deck Sliding Over Backwall Or Backwall Sliding Over Abutments written by Haluk Aktan and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new bridge design and construction trend to help improve durability and rideability is to remove expansion joints over piers and abutments. One approach to achieve this is to make the deck continuous over the piers by means of a link slab while the girders remain simply supported. The need to implement link slabs is indicated by AASHTO LRFD section 2.5.2.4 which requires using a minimum number of expansion joints to improve rideability. Further, due to durability concerns associated with bridge deck joints, it is preferred to have a least number of joints or develop jointless decks. The expansion joints over the abutments can be removed by one of three methods: deck sliding over back wall, semi-integral abutments, and integral abutments. This results in expansion joints at either or both ends of the approaches. The design concerns other than link slab include backwall and wing-wall design and bearing movement. The behavior of a jointless bridge brings about many challenges to bridge designers. The complexity is augmented when skew is involved. This report complements an earlier report based on previous research on Combining Link Slab, Deck Sliding Over Backwall and Revising Bearings (Aktan et al., 2008) where the behavior of straight and moderately skew (skew 200) link slab bridges were investigated and design recommendations were developed. This report describes the behavior and performance of high skew (skew 200) jointless bridges with link slabs and two abutment configurations. These abutment configurations are deck sliding over backwall and backwall sliding over abutments (i.e. semi-integral abutments). Four tasks were performed in this project. The first task was to review and synthesize information related to the behavior, performance, design, and analysis of skew bridges. The second task was field assessment of skew bridge behavior under static truck loads and thermal loads. The third task was analytical and numerical analysis of skew link slabs. The final task was analytical and numerical analysis of skew sliding deck over backwall systems and semi-integral abutments. Design recommendations are developed based on literature, field assessment data analysis, finite element modeling, and subsequent simulations of the numerous models developed in this project. One recommendation deals with the skew link slab design and the remaining recommendations are for bearing selection and selection and design of a transverse restraint system at abutments of skew link slab bridges.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 110 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research is on the development of durable link slabs for jointless bridge decks based on strain-hardening cementitious composite - engineered cementitious composite (ECC). Specifically the superior ductility of ECC was utilized to accommodate bridge deck deformations imposed by girder deflection, concrete shrinkage, and temperature variations, providing a cost-effective solution to a number of deterioration problems associated with bridge deck joints. In this phase 3, research was initiated at developing a solution for early age cracking observed on the Grove Street Bridge ECC link-slab. Systematic investigations (both numerical and experimental) have been conducted on identifying factors which cause early age cracking, replicating early age cracking behavior observed in the field, developing new ECC materials solution to prevent early age cracking, documenting new ECC fresh and hardened properties, verifying new ECC performance by means of the large frame restrained shrinkage test, and revising special provision of ECC link slab. Grove Street Bridge was monitored constantly over the whole project period.

Book excerpt: This research presents the results of an experimental program undertaken at the North Carolina State University (NCSU) Constructed Facilities Laboratory (CFL) to evaluate the performance of a new innovative glass fiber reinforced polymer (GFRP) bridge deck. This bridge deck is produced commercially by Martin Marietta Composites of Raleigh, NC under the trade name of DuraSpan. The experimental program involved examining the behavior of 5.00 inch deep and 7.66 inch deep DuraSpan bridge deck profiles. The program included numerous quasi-static flexural tests, testing of connection details to facilitate the development of a railing system, evaluation of the performance of the bond lines in negative moment regions, and an evaluation of the coefficient of thermal expansion. A finite element model was developed to predict the stiffness of the bridge deck at service load levels. Finite element optimization techniques were used in conjunction with coupon test data and the large scale flexural test data to calibrate the model.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designers have consistently been concerned with long term deformation of bridges to mitigate unfavorable effects such as excessive movement and cracking. Furthermore, any developed tool of use to a designer must make use of parameters known at the time of design as well as be simplistic in nature as defined in the code. As such, many prediction models for the free shrinkage of a concrete specimen have been developed toward this end. However, structures designed and placed in the field experience shrinkage under restraint. Also, the differences in environmental conditions affect the shrinkage of structures. It is important to understand the restrained shrinkage of structures under field conditions and use this understanding to make improved guidelines on shrinkage from a design standpoint. In this study, the prediction and modelling of the free shrinkage of small samples under constant conditions were expanded to the prediction and modelling of restrained shrinkage under field conditions of large samples using finite element analysis. A parametric analysis was then performed to derive useful information from a design perspective such as the impact of various design parameters on the performance of a bridge deck. The findings indicated that the use of reinforcement is the preferable method of addressing shrinkage in bridge decks. Furthermore, the efficacy of the amount of reinforcement specified in the AASHTO guidelines to mitigate excessive cracking in bridge decks was discussed. The traditional and empirical methods of bridge deck design were investigated for shrinkage reinforcement. Finally, recommendations were suggested to the reinforcement requirements based on the findings of this study.
