The new post-tensioned segmental precast concrete box girder structure actually two bridges each 1.

. 4 km long and 125 ft. 299 I ml. Segmental bridges are constructed of short segments roughly 10 feet long.

It has a depth of 213 m 7 ft inclined webs 0305 m 1 ft thick a 740 m 24ft 3 in wide top slab can-tilevered out on both sides of the basic box and a 244 m 8 ft wide bottom slab. A segmental bridge is a bridge built in short sections ie one piece at a time as opposed to traditional methods that build a bridge in very large sections. Hybrid between a concrete segmental box-girder and a cable-stayed bridge has four 600-ft main spans and a total length of 3365 ft between expansion joints.

Erection of concrete bridges with the cantilevering principle led to development of specialized sequences that are discussed further below. In a splice girder the segments are often 100 feet long. Brameld Queensland Institute of Technology Brisbane Queensland Australia.

Deck Widths 840 to 1350 Meters. These bridges are very economical for long spans especially when access to the construction site is restricted. Place Span by Span.

In contrast to classical monolithic constructions a segmental bridge consists of small precast elements stressed together by external tendons fig. The Juoh River Bridge consists of 5-span V-frame box girder constructed by. 200-400-200 m for a total length of 2600 ft.

Live loads are taken as per IRC6. Box girder bridges are commonly used for highway flyovers and. These can represent complex parametric 3D Inventor parts or assemblies and can be used to model many types of bridge superstructure components such as precast segmental box girders.

The rotation produces a hori- zontal offset in the base form. When box girder bridges are precast the casting is generally segmental. Superelevation Angle Q is defined at a specific longitudinal station along the bridge as the superelevation S di- vided by the horizontal distance be- tween the center of the inner and outer webs L.

Balanced Cantilever Standards 305 to 610 Meters. The box girder cross section is held constant throughout the bridge see Fig. The many advantages of this type of.

A box girder is formed when two web plates are joined by a common flange at both the top and the bottom. Used to assign a superelevation section to a bridge deck. Segmental box girders Segmental box girders.

As already introduced in Section 362. 66-ft-wide single-cell box girder in eight spans ranging from 144 to 760 ft built by balanced cantilever. Top and bottom slabs have a thickness of 020 m 8 in.

The most widely used methods may be categorized as construction on flashwork and cantilever construction. Bridge and the Quebec Bridge that are presented in Section 215. Cast-in-PLaCe segMentaL Box girDer BriDge west Virginia DePartMent oF transPortation owner BridgE dEscriPtion.

Assembly of the segments the stage-by-stage erection and prestressing of precast segments the procedures required for closure and the adjustment of the distribution of stress is described. The 5079-ft-long bridge is a post-tensioned concrete box girder structure with curved box girder faces superelevation transfers in the gore and variable structure depths. It is a bridge in which the main beams comprise girders in the shape of a hollow box rectangular or trapezoidal shape.

The bridge is made of concrete that is either cast-in-place or precast concrete. 2975-ft-long box girder bridge structural comPonEnts. This form of construction however introduces additional design and construction problems--problems of carrying flexure shear and torsion across joints--the most suitable type of joint--problems introduced by superelevation.

Used to place steel box girders tub girders Assign Superelevation. The box girder normally comprises either prestressed concrete structural steel or a composite of steel and reinforced concrete. This method has great advantages over other forms of construction in urban areas where temporary shoring.

331 Composite steel plate girder bridge. A box girder bridge or box section bridge is a bridge in which the main beams comprise girders in the shape of a hollow box. Bridge types that can be used in the long-span range span length up to 150 m include composite steel plate girder bridges post-tensioned cast-in-place concrete box-girder bridges post-tensioned segmental bridges steel and concrete arch bridges and steel truss bridges.

The overhang face of the girder is 12 m and deck slab. Cross section of box girder is shown in Figure 61 and mathematical modeling is done using SAP2000 and is shown in Figure 53. This cable-stayed bridge will have spans of 650 ft 1300 ft and 650 ft.

Customary AASHTO-PCI-ASBI Segmental Box Girder Standards for Span-by-Span and Balanced Cantilever Construction December 1997 Metric Units including the following. Segmental box girder bridges externally post-tensioned are one of the major new developments in bridge engineering in the last years. The out-to-out dimension of the bridge deck is 98 ft 6 in.

Ten-mile-long mainly span-by-span precast concrete segmental box-girder superstructure with external post-tensioning STRUCTURAL COMPONENTS. They are mainly box girder shapes and each segment is post-tensioned to the last segment. The box is typically rectangular or trapezoidal in cross-section.

The Pasco-Kennewick cable-stayed bridge in the State of Washington utilizing pre- cast segmental construction will be completed in 1978 and has a main span of 981 ft. The approach bridge is located on a 3-degree horizontal curve 1910 ft radius with a 6 superelevation and includes a 1000-. Prestressed Concrete Bridges of uniform or near uniform cross-section are admirably suited to construction by precasting segments and post-tensioning.

Five single shaft approach piers and two twin-walled main span piers. They are also chosen for their. The box girder normally comprises prestressed concrete structural steel or a composite of steel and reinforced concrete.

We plan to add further refinements to these capabilities such that they automatically adjust to curved in plan alignments with variable superelevation etc. The gore section ranges from 14 to 18 ft and the on and off ramps range 10 to 14 ft. Prestressed Concrete Bridges of uniform or near uniform cross-section are admirably suited to construction by precasting segments and post tensioning This form of construction.

Used to add concrete diaphragms between beams on concrete girder and slab type bridge. Segmental construction uses match casting so the two segments mate up perfectly. 850 million Formliners were used on station columns.

Segmental box girder superstructure cast-in-place columns and drilled shafts BRIDGE CONSTRUCTION COST. 112 Balanced Cantilever Girder Bridges 1121 Overview Balanced cantilever segmental construction for concrete box-girder bridges has long been recognized as one of the most efﬁcient methods of building bridges without the need for falsework. A post tensioned deck type box girder bridge of clear span 30 m and width of roadway is 75 m is considered for the analysis.
