Means and Methods Analysis of a Cast-In-Place Balanced Cantilever Segmental Bridge: The Wilson Creek Bridge Case Study

Lucko, Gunnar 11 March 1999 (has links)
Different means and methods exist in the construction industry to erect bridge superstructures. In planning and execution of the complex construction operations the effects of the chosen erection method need to be considered to achieve a safe and economical process. Failures of bridges under construction have underlined the importance of this issue. Hence, constructability issues need to be considered from the very beginning of projects. Structural analysis mathematically models geometry, boundary conditions, and other structural details, material properties, and so-called actions and incorporates factors of safety. Aforementioned actions, i.e. loads or restraints of deformations may act only temporarily during construction, depending on the method and sequence of erection. However, these construction loads can create considerable stresses in the unfinished structure prior to completion when it still lacks additional redundancy against failure. Furthermore, time-dependent material properties such as creep, shrinkage, and relaxation play a major role, especially in segmental construction. A case study is provided as an example of how constructability issues are dealt with in engineering practice. The Wilson Creek Bridge is a five-span cast-in-place concrete segmental bridge that was erected with Balanced Cantilever Construction. The bridge superstructure incorporated a camber to account for time-dependent deflections in final alignment. Form travelers were used in an alternating manner about the bridge piers to construct cantilever arms that were finally connected at midspan. These travelers remained in place until the box girder segments had reached sufficient strength to be post-tensioned to their predecessors. Casting cycle duration on this project was one week. / Master of Science

Most na dálnici nad Dolanským potokem / design of higway bridge accross Dolansky creek

Šedrla, Jakub January 2013 (has links)
My thesis is focused on a design and comparism of the highway bridge across Dolansky creek. The bridge is built by balanced cantilever method. The common span length is 110metres. The bridge is post-tensioned concrete structure.The static model is made of beams.The static analysis during lifespan of bridge is made by Time discretization analysis . The design of reinforcement is made for longitudinal section and cross section.

Přemostění přehrady / Bridging reservoir

Kučerka, Ján Unknown Date (has links)
The diploma thesis deals with the design of the supporting structure of a road bridge over a reservoir. Two variants of bridging were processed. The selected variant is a three span continuous beam. It is made of box girder cross section with a variable height. The structure has a total length of 156,8 m and is built using balanced cantilever method. The bridge is designed and assessed according to the limit states for temporary and permanent design situations. Structural analysis, drawing documentation and visualization of the bridge is part of the work.

Long-term deformation of balanced cantilever bridges due to non-uniform creep and shrinkage / Långtidsdeformationer hos freivorbau-broar orsakade av ojämn krypning och krympning

Akbar, Sidra, Carlie, Mathias January 2021 (has links)
Balanced cantilever bridges have historically experienced excessive deformations. Previous researchsuggeststhat the cause may be due to differential thickness in the box girder cross-section and underestimation of creep and shrinkage.In this project, the long-term deformationof balanced cantilever bridges due tonon-uniformcreep and shrinkage have been investigated. The non-uniformcreep and shrinkage arecaused by variations in drying rates for the different parts of the box-girder cross-sections.A finite element model was createdintheprogram Abaqusas a case study of the Alvik bridge.The finite element model was used to evaluate the difference betweennon-uniform and uniform creep and shrinkage with Eurocode 2.Further, a comparison between Eurocode 2 and Bažant’sB4 modelwas conductedfor non-uniform creep and shrinkage. The comparison aimedto evaluate the difference between industry and research specific calculation models, forthe effect of creep and shrinkage on deformations.A parameter study was alsoconducted to discern theeffect of parameters: ballast load, water-cementratio and conditions related to drying of concrete (relative humidity and perimeter exposed to air).Acomparison withthe deformationmeasurementsof theAlvik bridge was conductedto validate the resultsfrom the model.The results showed that there was a significant difference in the calculateddeformationof the bridge during the first ten years between analyses based onnon-uniform and uniformdistribution of creepand shrinkage,respectively.The non-uniformanalysis gave largerdeformations.However, only minor differences between the two approachescould be detected in the final deformation after 120 years. The main reason for the differences in the early behaviour is primarily caused by the differences in shrinkage rate between the top and bottom flanges. In these analyses, the top flange was assumed tonotdry out from the top. Thereby, the shrinkage rate of the top flange caused by one-way drying was similar to the bottom flange that was assumed to be exposed for two-waydrying.TheB4 model gave larger deformations compared to Eurocode2.This may be due to difference in the definition ofperimeter and surface. Eurocode 2 considers the perimeter exposed to air. The B4 model instead considers the entire surface area of the part.TheB4 model and Eurocode 2 show similar results asthe measurements. However, the B4 model gaveresults more consistent with the measurements.In the parameter study,lowerrelative humidity gave smaller deformations, since concrete shrinksquicker in dry ambient air.Varying the water-cement ratiodid not affect the deformationsnoticeably.Higher ballastheight gave significantly larger deformations. The height of the ballast was an uncertainfactor due to varying heights in the structural drawings of the case study. Accurate height of ballast is therefore important. / Freivorbau broar har historiskt sett haft problem med kraftiga deformationer. Tidigare forskning föreslår att detta har orsakats av tjockleksskillnader i lådtvärsnitt och underskattning av krypning och krympning. Denna studie har undersökteffektenav ojämn krypningoch krympning på freivorbau broars långtidsdeformationer.Den ojämna krypningen och krympningen orsakas av skillnader i uttorkningshastigheterför lådtvärsnittets olika delar. En finitaelementmodell definieradesi programmet Abaqus som en fallstudie på Alviksbron.Modellen användes för att utvärdera skillnaden mellan ojämn och jämn krypning och krympning med Eurokod 2. En jämförelsemellan Eurokod 2 och Bažant’s B4 modellgenomfördes med hänsyn till ojämn krypningoch krympning.Syftet med jämförelsen var att utvärdera skillnadermellan byggnormeroch forskningmodeller med hänsyn till deformationer orsakade av ojämnkrypningoch krympning.Vidare genomfördes enparameterstudie för att urskilja effekten av parametrarna: ballast last, vatten-cement-tal och förhållanden relaterade till betongensuttorkning(relativ fuktighet och omkrets utsatt för luft).Deformationerna från finita elementmodellen jämfördes med uppmätta deformationer av Alviksbron.Resultaten visade att det fanns en signifikant skillnad i beräknad deformationunder de första tio årenmellan ojämn och jämn krypning och krympning.Ojämn krypning och krympning gav större deformationer.Mindre deformationsskillnad gavs dock i slutgiltig deformationefter 120 år. Den främsta anledningentill skillnaderna i deformation under de första tio årenär orsakat av skillnaderi krympningens hastighet mellan övre-och undre fläns.I analyserna antogs det att övre flänsen inte torkade ut från dess övre del.Därmed varkrympningens hastighetlikartad för övre flänsen som torkade ut åt ett håll, och undre flänsen som torkade ut åttvå håll.B4 modellen gav större deformationerjämfört med Eurokod 2.En möjlig förklaring för detta är definieringen av omkrets gentemot ytans area.Eurokod 2 definierar en omkrets utsatt för luft. B4 modellen definierar i stället arean av en yta, utan att ta hänsyn till om den är utsatt för luft.Även om B4 modellen och Eurokod 2 ger likartade deformationer, ger B4 modellen oftare deformationer som stämmer bättre överens med deformationsmätningarna av Alviksbron.Lägre relativ fuktighet gav mindre deformationer, eftersom betong krymper fortare i torrt klimat. Ändring av vattencementtal gav inte någon märkbar ändring i deformationer.Högre ballasthöjd gav betydligt större deformationer. Höjden på ballast var en osäker faktorpå grund av varierandehöjder i Alviksbrons konstruktionsritningar.Noggrann höjdbestämmelse av ballasten är därför viktigt.
