HANDBOOK 4 DESIGN OF BRIDGES Guide to basis of bridge design related to Eurocodes supplemented by practical examples LEONARDO DA VINCI PILOT PROJECT CZ/02/B/F/PP-134007 Edited by Luca SANPAOLESI & Pietro CROCE
The primary function of a bridge deck is to support the vehicular vertical loads and distribute these loads to the steel superstructure. The deck is typically continuous along the length, and across the width, of the span of the bridge. In most applications, the bridge deck is made
Download Bridge Deck Behaviour, Second Edition PDF. Description. "This book describes the underlying behaviour of steel and concrete bridge decks. It shows how complex structures can be analysed with physical reasoning and relatively simple computer models and without complicated mathematics."--Provided by publisher. ... Table of Contents. Cover.
The document outlines components of bridge design including the superstructure and deck. It discusses types of bridge decks such as reinforced concrete decks on girders and stay-in-place formwork decks. It also describes materials for the concrete deck including compressive strength and reinforcement including yield strength.
1 lis 2012 · This chapter provides practical information regarding the decking options and design considerations for steel bridges, presenting deck types such as concrete deck slabs, metal grid decks, orthotropic steel decks, wood decks, and several others.
Chapter 6 ends with some design concepts and analysis for bowstring arch bridges and cable-stayed bridges. Of course, due to the scope of the book, the aspects dealt with for these specific bridge types are introductory in nature. The substructure structural analysis and design is presented in Chapter 7.
