  • A Realistic Method of Strengthening Iron Cove Bridge
    Strengthening of Bridge over Iron Cove, Sydney NSW - A Realistic Design Load Wije Ariyaratne, B.Sc (Eng), M.Eng.Sc, Grad Dip Bus, FIE Aust. Manager Bridge Engineering, Bridge Section, RTA Operations Parvez Shah, B.Sc (Eng), M.Eng (Struc.), Grad Dip Bus, MIE Aust. Manager, Bridge Evaluation and Assessment, Bridge Section, RTA Operations Henry Fok, B.Sc (Eng), M.E Eng.Sc, MIStructE Project Engineer, Bridge Evaluation and Assessment, Bridge Section, RTA Operations ABSTRACT The bridge over Iron Cove on Victoria Road consists of seven steel truss spans of 52m and four continuous plate girder approach spans of 18m. The bridge has a carriageway width of 13.7m between kerbs and it carries four lanes of traffic. In addition it has one 3.1m wide dedicated BUS lane on the southern side and one footway on the northern side. The bridge is on a major arterial road and carries B-Doubles. The bridge was built in 1955 when the design load was MS18 (33t), which was significantly less than current legal loads (eg 42.5t Semi- Trailers and 62.5t B-Doubles). Generally, strengthening of bridges is carried out in accordance with the 1996 AUSTROADS Bridge Design Code (’96 ABDC). However, because of the earlier studies conducted in assessing the bridge, it was evident that strengthening the bridge as per ’96 ABDC would have been exceptionally expensive. In addition, it was thought that the bridge would not experience the live loads stipulated in the ’96 ABDC for the next 50 years or during its expected life. Therefore, the Bridge Section proposed a realistic method of determining live loads for strengthening the bridge for legal loads based on the current legal loads experienced by the bridge, the probability of multiple presences of legal loads and the predicted future growth of legal loads over the route.

  • Bridge Aesthetics
    Bridge Aesthetics Design guideline to improve the appearance of bridges in NSW Centre for Urban Design | February 2019 The curved bridge over the Woronora River with its pedestrian and bicycle foot bridge hung below the road deck and the remodelling of its foreshores, fits in with the river, topography and sandstone and bush landscape of Sutherland. With its ten spans, 30 metre high piers, and approaches cut into the opposing hillsides the bridge produces a sweeping, dramatic and elegant built form. Acknowledgments This document has been prepared by the TfNSW Centre for Urban Design with input from Bridge Section, Environmental Branch, and the Government Architects.

  • Proposal to Demolish Glebe Island Bridge Ignores Strategic Links
    CEO Roads and Maritime Services SYDNEY 2000 Proposal to demolish Glebe Island Bridge ignores strategic links It is economically inept, environmentally unsustainable and culturally insensitive to demolish the Glebe Island Bridge. The asset provides future opportunity that has not been considered in any analysis so far. The Glebe Island Bridge is a vital link in Sydney’s transport system for it can provide low level city access for cycle, pedestrian and public transport. The Cost Benefit Analysis Report has relied upon current cycle and pedestrian use of the ANZAC Bridge for its calculation of transport benefit. It has not projected use of Glebe Island Bridge as a low level safe alternative, which is likely to induce considerably increased demand. Increased cycle and pedestrian traffic is noted by Transport NSW in its City Access Strategy as directly economically beneficial to Sydney and NSW. It shows that safe pedestrian and cycle ways induce demand, if they interconnect with the transport network. In further detailing the NSW Long Term Transport Plan it prominently mentions increased pedestrian and cycle access as providing substantial economic benefits, The Glebe Island Bridge is a vital potential feeder link to the network of transport options. The City of Sydney, Leichhardt Municipal Council and the community in its submissions to the Bays Precinct Taskforce have all emphasised the need to retain this Bridge as low level access for cycle, pedestrian and public transport. The Glebe Island Bridge has been recommended for inclusion on the State Heritage Register by the NSW Heritage Council. “The swing bridges [designed by engineer Percy Allan]… at Pyrmont and Glebe Island are among the structures standing as monuments to his skill.”1 Through a trick of timing and geography, the former has been declared a National Engineering Landmark; the latter, despite its LEP listing, has suffered years of neglect.

  • The Hungry Mile
    The Hungry Mile From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: [LI\ iLat1ofl. search The Hungry Mile is the name harbourside workers gave to the docklands area of i2tiIin ZZ 1 Ltrholtr East. in Jug, New South Wales, Australia in the Great Depression. Workers would walk from wharf to wharf in search of ajob, often failing to find one.1 The area was officially known as Millcr Point and as part of urban renewal plans, the rovernment of New South Wales reviewed the name in 2006. Ll The Maritime U nion o \ustralia campaigned to renew the "Hungry Mile' name, as an acknowledgement of the site's historical significance to waterside workers. A public competition was held but the name Raranearoo was selected for the new suburb and officially gazetted in 2007. The name honours Barangaroo, an important indigenous woman from Sydney's early history who was a powerful and colourful figure in the colonisation of Australia. She was also the wife of l3ennelon, another important indigenous figure after whom Bennelong Point is named, the site of the S Jncv Opera 1-louse. A section of Barangaroo, Hickson Road between the Munn Street overhridge and the Napoleon Street intersection, was officially designated the Hungry Mile in 2009 1 Baranearoo in the foregound, before shipping buildings were demolished [edit] Redevelopment As stevedoring operations moved to ports at Ppiilptitijy and Port kcnihla. the (rovernment_of New South Wales determined that this site should be renewed as an extension of the Sydney CBD with a significant new foreshore park providing recreational areas for a growing Sydney population.

  • STAIN-PROOF Protection for Engineered Structures
    World Leading Protection for Engineered Concrete The Ultimate Hydrophobic Barrier Dry-Treat™ produces superior modified silane sealers for protecting exposed structural concrete including bridges, wharves, highways, high rise buildings, panels and rendering. Silane based technology has been proven best practice protection across the globe in some of the harshest salt and freeze-thaw environments for decades. Dry-Treat™ silanes achieve maximum penetration into the pore structure of the concrete, lining the pores to create a deep hydrophobic (water repellent) barrier. Dry-Treat™ concrete sealers form a full chemical bond inside the pores, becoming permanently part of the molecular structure of the material. Dry-Treat’s deep hydrophobic barrier protects against ingress of water and dissolved salts, significantly reducing concrete spalling, corrosion of steel reinforcement and alkali silica reactions. Typical Applications Concrete acts like a hard sponge which absorbs damaging liquids and aggressive salts DRY-TREAT DRY-TREAT DRY-TREAT CONCREME™ 100N™ 100NCI™ 40SK™ Bridges Wharves and Jetties Highways High rise buildings Rail bridge decks Car parks Swimming pool surrounds Rendering Concrete paving and driveways Masonry Damp course injection Low Cost • Dry-Treat™’ silane sealers require minimal equipment and time to apply. • Preventative maintenance is less costly than repair or rebuilding. Treating a concrete structure with high quality silanes as a preventative measure usually costs 10%, or less, of the cost of remedial repair/rebuilding. • A percentage of maintenance costs are due to service interruptions—i.e. closing all or part of a structure for maintenance work. The extended lifespan of Dry-Treat’s concrete sealer range mean re-application is only necessary every 15-30 years so there is zero or minimal disruption to normal activity.
