Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lateral behavior and stability of bridge column rebar cages were investigated to reduce the potential of failure and collapse during construction. Rebar cages are temporary structures made of longitudinal and transverse reinforcing bars that are connected by tie wire connections. Recent collapses during construction exposed the vulnerabilities of these temporary structures to accidental loads that may occur at this stage. Therefore, experimental and analytical investigations were conducted to understand the lateral behavior of bridge column rebar cages. Experimental work was performed on individual components of rebar cages, such as tie wire connections and reinforcing bars, under various types of loading. Two full-scale bridge column rebar cages were subjected to incremental loading to determine the lateral behavior, identify failure modes, and calibrate the analytical models. Using the results from the experimental study, nonlinear finite element analyses were developed to determine the effect of critical parameters on the lateral behavior of column rebar cages. The investigated parameters were: tie wire connections, internal braces, column diameter, longitudinal and transverse reinforcement ratios, and column height. The results of these analyses showed that the internal braces have a significant effect on the lateral behavior and failure mode of bridge column rebar cages. Guidelines for determining the lateral stiffness and improving the bridge column rebar cage stability are proposed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rebar Cage Construction and Safety: Best Practices presents guidelines for the safe handling of steel reinforcing-bar (rebar) cages throughout the design, fabrication, and erection process. The focus is on rebar cages used for large, cast-in-place concrete columns in a variety of settings, including bridge piers, elevated highway sections, and high-rise buildings. These cages are inherently unstable, usually held together by tie-wire alone. They are challenging to fabricate, to lift from the horizontal to the vertical position, and to support in the temporary condition until concrete is cast. Engineered temporary support systems, such as bracing or cable-guy systems, can mitigate the instability of standing rebar cages and resist lateral loads, ensuring better safety for the iron workers tasked with climbing the cages. Topics include: overview of rebar cages; organisational management for rebar cages; construction engineering; checklists of best practices for construction; and summary, conclusions, and recommendations. This volume describes best practices for construction engineering and construction practice regarding rebar cages.It will be useful to construction engineers working with large columns for the first time as well as construction contractors looking to establish policies and procedures related to rebar column safety.

Download or read book Temporary Structure Design written by Christopher Souder and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2014-11-10 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A comprehensive guide to temporary structures in construction projects Temporary Structure Design is the first book of its kind, presenting students and professionals with authoritative coverage of the major concepts in designing temporary construction structures. Beginning with a review of statistics, it presents the core topics needed to fully comprehend the design of temporary structures: strength of materials; types of loads on temporary structures; scaffolding design; soil properties and soil loading; soldier beam, lagging, and tiebacks; sheet piling and strutting; pressure and forces on formwork and falsework; concrete formwork design; falsework; bracing and guying; trestles and equipment bridges; and the support of existing structures. Temporary structures during construction include scaffolding, formwork, shoring, ramps, platforms, earth-retaining structures, and other construction structures that are not part of the permanent installation. These structures are less regulated and monitored than most other parts of the construction process, even though they are often supporting tons of steel or concrete—and the safety of all workers on the site depends on these structures to perform as designed. Unfortunately, most tragic failures occur during construction and are usually the result of improperly designed, constructed, and/or maintained temporary structures. Temporary Structure Design fills an important need in the literature by providing a trusted, comprehensive guide to designing temporary construction structures. Serves as the first book to provide a design-oriented approach to the design of temporary structures Includes coverage of the various safety considerations inherent in temporary structure design and construction Provides information on estimating cost and schedules for these specialized structures Covers formwork and falsework, as well as personnel protection, production support, environmental protection, and foundational structures If you're a student or a professional working in the field of construction or structural engineering, Temporary Structure Design is a must-have resource you'll turn to again and again.

Download or read book Structural Safety of Bridge Decks with Variable Rebar Cover written by Prem Egade and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Construction defects are common and are difficult to avoid completely. This arises due to improper workmanship, inspection, drawing and specification. On bridge decks, achieving the desired cover is necessary since inadequacy can cause accelerated corrosion in steel and for the most part spalling and delamination which ultimately led to failure. Tolerance provided by different standards and specification also restrict the amount of rebar. So, construction is more focused on increasing cover undermining the loss of strength as consequence. The objective of this research is to check the safety of decks by analyzing bridges for reduction in capacity due to cover variation. The investigation was conducted on two old and two new bridges using Ground Penetration Radar (GPR) for possible rebar cover variation. Data were collected with ground coupled high-frequency 2.6GHz antenna for high accuracy. The dielectric constant for depth calculation was estimated using migration and ground truth method with minimum error. The hyperbolic signatures were detected and plotted in form of contours and percent distribution was calculated. For 0.5 in. (13mm) and 1 in. (25.4mm) increase in rebar cover, the deck capacity is reduced by 9% and 18%, respectively for 8.5 in. (216mm) thickness of the slab. It was found that on average the rebar cover distribution of 40% and 77% varied +1/2 inch and +1 inch, respectively. The reduced negative moment capacity followed by decreased effective depth is compared with design moments. Finally, the load on rebar cage is modeled and deflection and stresses are calculated different bar sizes and distance of rebar supports. The smaller size rebar with less spacing deflected more than larger size rebars.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drilled shafts have been used on a limited scale for many years as an alternative to driven piles in a variety of foundation problems. However, uncertainty about the behavior of the drilled shaft has forestalled widespread adoption. The subject package, by Dr. Lymon C. Reese of the University of Texas, is intended for use by bridge engineers, geotechnical engineers, and builders of pile foundations. The manual contains rational procedures and practical guidelines for the design and construction of drilled shaft foundations. Volume I presents a rational design procedure for drilled shafts under axial loading and includes guidelines on construction methods, inspection, load testing, specifications, and cost estimates. Volume II presents alternative methods for computing the response of the shaft to lateral loading and presents the structural design of the shaft for axial and/or lateral loading.
