This book was released on 2002 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A literature review concerning the objectives of the project was completed. A significant number of published papers, reports, etc., were examined to determine the effectiveness of full depth precast panels for bridge deck replacement. A detailed description of the experimental methodology was developed which includes design and fabrication of the panels and assembly of the bridge. The design and construction process was carried out in cooperation with the project Technical Review Panel. The major components of the bridge deck system were investigated. This includes the transverse joints and the different materials within the joint as well as composite action. The materials investigated within the joint were polymer concrete, non-shrink grout, and set-45 for the transverse joint. The transverse joints were subjected to direct shear tests, direct tension tests, and flexure tests. These tests exhibited the excellent behavior of the system in terms of strength and failure modes. Shear key tests were also conducted. The shear connection study focused on investigating the composite behavior of the system based on varying the number of shear studs within a respective pocket as well as varying the number of pockets within a respective panel. The results indicated that this shear connection is extremely efficient in rendering the system under full composite action. Finite element analysis was conducted to determine the behavior of the shear connection prior to initiation of the actual full scale tests. In addition, finite element analysis was also performed with respect to the transverse joint tests in an effort to determine the behavior of the joints prior to actual testing. The most significant phase of the project was testing a full-scale model. The bridge was assembled in accordance with the procedures developed as part of the study on full-depth precast panels and the results obtained through this research. The system proved its effectiveness in withstanding the applied loading that exceeded eight times the truck loading in addition to the maximum negative and positive moment application. Only hairline cracking was observed in the deck at the maximum applied load. Of most significance was the fact that full composite action was achieved between the precast panels and the steel supporting system, and the exceptional performance of the transverse joint between adjacent panels.
Book Synopsis Experimental Investigation of Precast Bridge Deck Joints with U-bar and Headed Bar Joint Details by :
Download or read book Experimental Investigation of Precast Bridge Deck Joints with U-bar and Headed Bar Joint Details written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis presents the experimental investigation of two joint details for use in precast bridge deck systems. U-bar and headed bar joint details were developed for use in accelerated construction applications. Both details, in practice, would consist of staggered protruding reinforcement that would allow for the anchorage of the precast deck component into the joint. Six specimens containing the joint details were constructed and tested. Three specimens were tested in flexure to simulate the forces that would be experienced in a longitudinal deck joint, and three specimens were tested in tension to simulate the forces that would be experienced in a transverse joint over an interior pier. The three specimens of each test type consisted of one specimen containing the headed bar detail and two specimens containing the u-bar detail. The u-bar detail was tested utilizing two materials, welded wire reinforcement and stainless steel reinforcement. Welded wire reinforcement and stainless steel reinforcement were used for the u-bar detail due to their ductility which was needed to fabricate the tight bend (3d[subscript b]) used in the detail. The tight bend was used to minimize the thickness of the deck. The main objective of the testing was to determine if the joint details could create a precast deck system that could emulate the monolithic behavior of the predominately used cast-in-place deck systems. To achieve monolithic behavior in a precast deck system the joints must be able to transfer shear and tension forces as well as moments. The second objective of this investigation was to determine the best performing detail for further investigation. The additional investigation of the best performing joint detail would then be the first step in creating standard design guidelines and details to ease the future implementation of joints for precast bridge deck systems.

Book Synopsis Behavior of Precast Bridge Deck Joints with Small Bend Diameter U-Bars by : Cheryl Elizabeth Chapman
Download or read book Behavior of Precast Bridge Deck Joints with Small Bend Diameter U-Bars written by Cheryl Elizabeth Chapman and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 86 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Interstate Highway System plays a vital role in our economic development by providing a continuous corridor for transporting goods and services. Currently, there is a need for repair and expansion of the existing highways, which include all bridges along its path. Because of the high demand for the highway system, repair and expansion must occur rapidly and efficiently. In recent years, precast bridge deck systems have become an efficient way to reduce construction time during repair. This thesis presents the experimental research of the behavior of the U-Bar joint detail used in precast bridge deck systems. This detail consists of staggered reinforcement extending beyond the precast deck portion into the joint. Six specimens utilizing the U-Bar detail were constructed and tested. Three specimens were tested in flexure to simulate the forces applied in a longitudinal deck joint, while three specimens were tested in pure tension to simulate the forces experienced in a transverse deck joint located over an interior pier. A tight 180° bend at 3d[subscript b] was desired in order to minimize the thickness of the deck. To achieve this tight bend, deformed wire reinforcement was chosen for the U-Bar detail due to the favorable material properties of deformed wire reinforcement. The purpose of the testing was to determine if the joint details could generate a precast deck system that could emulate the monolithic cast-in-place deck systems already in use. For monolithic behavior in a precast deck system, the joints must be able transfer shear, tension and moments. In this research, the joint overlap length was the most dominant variable, and should not be less than 152.4 mm (6"). The precast bridge deck joint should consist of high strength concrete with f'[subscript c] of at least 68.9 MPa (10 ksi). The longitudinal reinforcement spacing should be no greater than 152.4 mm (6").

Book Synopsis Development of a Ridged Slip-Resistant Connection for Modular Aluminum Bridge Deck Applications by : James St.Onge
Download or read book Development of a Ridged Slip-Resistant Connection for Modular Aluminum Bridge Deck Applications written by James St.Onge and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aluminum is a lightweight material that possesses excellent corrosion resistance and has been shown to be an attractive alternative to steel and concrete for the construction and rehabilitation of bridge structures. It is often possible to increase the load-carrying capacity of a bridge with an existing concrete deck by reducing the structure's self-weight through the installation of an aluminum deck. For new construction, aluminum can allow for the use of accelerated bridge construction (ABC) methods as the lightweight components can be easily transported and installed on site. Aluminum also offers potential for lower life-cycle costs due to its high corrosion resistance, which reduces maintenance requirements and eliminates the need for protective coatings. One of the latest developments in bridge construction and rehabilitation is the modular aluminum bridge deck system, which consists of a series of pre-fabricated panels that are fastened together to form a continuous deck. Welds and mechanical fasteners can both be used to join the panels together. However, a mechanical fastening system is often advantageous for ease of transportation and installation. Modular aluminum bridge deck systems offer all of the benefits that are associated with the use of aluminum for bridge structures, and their modular design provides opportunities for ABC methods in both new construction and rehabilitation projects. They are currently more commonplace in Europe than in North America, however, which is due, in part, to a lack of commercially available products in the North American market. There is a particular lack of products that implement a mechanical fastening system for the panel-to-panel connections. A need has therefore been identified to develop a novel modular aluminum bridge deck system with mechanical connections for vehicular bridge structures in North America. The research presented in this thesis focuses on the development of a novel ridged slip-resistant connection for future implementation in a modular aluminum bridge deck system. Ridged slip-resistant connections consist of interlocking faying surfaces, which are clamped together with mechanical fasteners, with the goal of providing improved strength and ductility compared to equivalent slip-resistant connections with flat faying surfaces. In the current study, their performance is validated through experimental testing, finite element modelling, and the development of a simple mechanistic model for predicting their slip-resistance. An experimental program was carried out to study the performance of ridged and non-ridged slip-resistant connections with carbon steel and stainless steel bolts. Static and cyclic tests were performed on small-scale lap-splice specimens fabricated from 6061-T6 aluminum. The results of the static tests were used to characterize the behaviour of ridged slip-resistant connections and to quantify the performance gains between the ridged and non-ridged specimens. The results of the cyclic tests were used to provide a preliminary assessment of the fatigue performance of ridged slip-resistant connections. Finite element (FE) modelling was conducted to predict the behaviour of each experimental test specimen. The slip loads predicted by the FE models were compared to the experimental observations and were then used in combination with the experimental observations to validate an equilibrium-based mechanistic model. The mechanistic model was combined with the existing design provisions of CSA S6 Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CSA Group, 2014) to develop a design equation for aluminum ridged slip-resistant connections at the service limit state. The stress concentrations predicted by the FE models were used as inputs for a strain-life analysis, which was carried out to predict the fatigue lives of the cyclic experimental test specimens. Further FE modelling was conducted to study a full-scale modular aluminum bridge deck system so that the feasibility of implementing ridged slip-resistant connections between the panels could be verified.
