The primary function of a bridge deck is to support the vehicular vertical loads and distribute these loads to the steel superstructure. This chapter provides practical information regarding the decking options and design considerations for steel bridges, presenting deck types such as concrete deck slabs,
During the past years, traffic load models adopted in codes of practice for designing bridge structures have noticeably evolved. In modern codes, static models adopted previously, representing physically existing heavy
This chapter provides a general description of the various concrete deck types, a discussion of the basic structural behavior of concrete decks, and an overview of major design and detailing considerations. Finally, a design example for a reinforced concrete bridge deck is provided.
Calculate the internal forces and moments according to Eurocode’s principles. By modelling the bridge deck (geometry and stiffness to represent its actual behaviour in the best way) And by applying the load cases. Section and member analysis. Stress limitations at ULS and SLS.
The Structure Construction Bridge Deck Construction Manual is intended to serve as a guide and a reference source for Bridge Engineers and others involved in field engineering and inspection of bridge decks under construction.
This guide provides recommendations for bridge deck construction based on considerations of durability, concrete materials, reinforcement, placing, finishing and curing, and overlays. Keywords: admixtures; aggregate; air entrainment; bridge decks; concrete curing; concrete finishing; concrete overlays; concrete placing; cracking; durability;
5 kwi 2019 · It provides the design steps of a road bridge deck with straight alignment, initially discussing possible solutions and justifying different options at a conceptual design level. Then, key aspects of structural safety and serviceability for both options are checked.
