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
"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.
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
Design Guide for Composite Highway Bridges covers the design of continuous composite bridges, with both compact and non-compact sections, and simply supported composite bridges of the ‘slab-on-beam’ form of construction.
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.
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.
This current edition of the Handbook is maintained by the National Steel Bridge Alliance (NSBA), a division of the American Institute of Steel Construction (AISC). There are 19 chapters and six design examples. These files are .PDFs.
