  • Chapter 6 Bridges
    Chapter 6 Bridges Many bridges have been built to allow roads and rails to cross the Mejerda River and its tributaries in Zone D2, but it is clear that they need to be improved (replaced, raised) because there are places where the design river channel of this Study will not have sufficient downflow capacity. Thus, as in the Master Plan, this Study includes improvements to existing bridges and the building of new bridges to accompany river improvements. The 11 bridges investigated in the Master Plan will be improved to accommodate changes to the design high-water level and channels. This section covers investigations of the bridge improvement plans required to improve the river, conducted according to the following procedures: 1. Fully understanding the current state of existing bridges and the capabilities they lack with respect to river improvements 2. Investigation of policy for improving existing bridges, selection of places in which to build new bridges 3. Improvement plans for existing bridges 4. Plans to build new bridges Since the bridges in question are used differently for roads, highways and railways, this section also includes information on various design standards. 6-1 6.1 Fully Understanding the Current State of Existing Bridges and the Capabilities They Lack with Respect to River Improvements 6.1.1 Current State of Existing Bridges Basic information about existing bridges was gathered prior to investigating bridge improvement policy. In addition to gathering the basic bridge specifications that serve as basic information, the team also surveyed existing structures and organizations that manage structures and verified the extent of damage at each site.

    AUTOMATED FOOT BRIDGE FOR RAILWAY STATION (SMART WAY OF CROSSING TRACKS) Prof. Harish C. Ringe1, Prof. Anushree B. Chaudhari2, Prof. Chitra E. Ghodke3 1,2,3Civil Engineering Dept.,Csmss College of Polytechnic, Aurangabad ABSTRACT This Paper will explain use of Automated Foot Bridge in Railway station to overcome the problem of passing tracks (from one platform to another) in less time period with less efforts, Automated Foot bridge is designed to overcome the accidental problems occurring on the railway stations during passengers crossing the railway tracks and also it will help to transport the goods from one platform to another. Keywords—Automated Foot Bridge,Railway Station, Accidental Problems I. INTRODUCTION As India is fast growing country we are trying to develop our transportation system to fulfill the need of population and as we knows train is one of the best mode of transportation to travel from one place to another, but when time comes to use this mode of transportation people are being irritated due to the crowd and the systems adopted at railway stations to reach on platforms from one to another. And to avoid the time consumption and efforts many of the people choose to reach the platform by crossing the track directly and due to this many of the time accidents occur and many of the people lose their life. According to http://wonderfulmumbai.com website 10 people die every day in railway accidents in Mumbai. 36,152 people have died and 36,688 injured on Mumbai’s Suburban (Local) Trains, from 2002 to 2012. Of the 36,152 deaths, 15,053 occurred on Mumbai’s Western Railway line and 21,099 occurred on Mumbai’s Central Railway.

The required passage may be for a road, a railway, pedestrians, a canal or a pipeline. The obstacle to be crossed may be a river, a road, railway or a valley. In other words, bridge is a structure for carrying the road traffic or other moving loads over a depression or obstruction such as channel, road or railway. A bridge is an arrangement made to cross an obstacle in the form of a low ground or a stream or a river without closing the way beneath. v Components of bridge The bridge structure comprises of the following parts. Ø Superstructure or Decking This includes slab, girder, truss, etc. This bears the load passing over it and transmits the forces caused by the same to the substructures. Ø Bearings The bearings transmit the load received from the decking on to the substructure and are provided for distribution of the load evenly over the substructure material which may not have sufficient bearing strength to bear the superstructure load directly.

    IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) e-ISSN: 2278-1684,p-ISSN: 2320-334X, Volume 14, Issue 6 Ver. I (Nov. - Dec. 2017), PP 01-08 www.iosrjournals.org “Parametric Study of Plate Girder Bridge” Pawan Patidar1, Sunil Harne2 1(Civil Engineering Department, IES IPS Academy Indore, India) 2(Civil Engineering Department, IES IPS Academy Indore, India) Abstract: A bridge is a structure providing passage over an obstacle without closing the way beneath. The required passage may be for pedestrians, a railway, a road, canal or pipelines. The obstacle to be crossed may be a road, rivers, railways or valley. There are many different designs that all serve unique purposes and apply to different conditions. The beam bridge carries vertical loads by flexure. The truss bridge of simple span behaves like a beam because it carries vertical loads by bending. The truss bridge of simple span behaves like a beam because it carries vertical loads by bending. The top chords are in compression and the bottom chords are in tension, while the vertical and diagonal members are either in tension or compression depending on their orientation. Loads are carried primarily in compression by the arch bridge, with the reactions at the supports (springing) being both vertical and horizontal forces. Plate girders became popular in the late 1800's, when they were used in construction of rail road bridges. The plates were joined together using angles and rivets to obtain plate girders of desired size. By old 1950's welded plate girders replaced riveted and bolted plate girders in developed world due to their aesthetics, better quality, and economy.

  • 2000 Creek in Chemung County Found New Life with the Installation of a Lightweight Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) Composite Deck
    Prize Bridge Award: Reconstructed New York Route 367 over Bentley Creek Village of Wellsburg, New York There are approximately 19,000 steel truss bridges in the United States, most of which were built over 50 years ago and have not had the benefit of regular, thorough cleaning. It was not until recently that bridge owners gained an awareness and appreciation for a good inspection and maintenance program. Cleaning structures of de-icing salts and other debris was virtually unheard of in the early years of these structures. Critical structural elements were allowed to deteriorate as a “natural” course of events. Even under these harsh conditions, many truss struc- tures have demonstrated the longevi- ty of steel as a building material by surviving and performing satisfactori- ly for the better part of the past cen- tury. With an increased effort placed on inspection and load rating, however, some of these bridges have been identi- fied as being structurally deficient and marked for replacement. Because of their age, it is often accepted that these bridges are at the end of their useful life. The project described in this submission pro- vides credible evidence that this is not necessarily true. Though a steel bridge may be 60 years old, the employment of new technology, such as super-light advanced composite decks, can rejuve- nate and extend the service life of “tired” steel bridges a point the deck replace- ment at Bentley Creek illustrates perfectly. Jurors Comments Project Objective Remove the 14 Ton weight restriction ...brings old iron together with new high tech as quickly as possible to satisfy the pub- lic’s demand for highways without materials (FRP) to extend the service life of a impediments to local commerce.

  • Bridge Engineering Intro-Converted
    By Aman Kumar ▪ Introduction ▪ Types of Bridges ▪ Bridge Components Definition :- Bridge is a structure having a total length of above 6 metres between the inner faces of the dirt walls for carrying traffic or other moving loads over a depression or obstruction such as channel, road or railway. Bridge is a structure corresponding to the heaviest responsibility in carrying a free flow of transport and is the most significant component of a transportation system in case of communication over spacings/gaps for whatever reason such as aquatic obstacles, valleys and gorges etc. Minor Bridge Major Bridge Structure having a total length of below 6 metres between the inner faces of the dirt walls is know as Culvert. Minor Bridge:- Total Length of the bridge is 60m Major Bridge:- Total Length of the bridge is above 60m High level bridge Submersible bridge/vented causeway High level bridge:- A high level bridge is a bridge which carries the roadway above the highest flood level of the channel. Submersible bridge:- A submersible bridge/vented causeway is a bridge designed to be overtopped during floods. • Beam Bridge • Arch Bridge • Suspension Bridge • The type of bridge used depends on various features of the obstacle. The main feature that controls the bridge type is the size of the obstacle. How far is it from one side to the other? This is a major factor in determining what type of bridge to use. Beam Bridge:- A beam bridge is basically a rigid horizontal structure that rest on two supports, one located at each end of the bridge as shown in Figure (a).
