Simple Innovative Comparison of Costs Between Tied-Arch Bridge and Cable-Stayed Bridge
MATEC Web of Conferences 258, 02015 (2019) https://doi.org/10.1051/matecconf/20192 5802015 SCESCM 20 18 Simple innovative comparison of costs between tied-arch bridge and cable-stayed bridge Järvenpää Esko1,*, Quach Thanh Tung2 1WSP Finland, Oulu, Finland 2WSP Finland, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam Abstract. The proposed paper compares tied-arch bridge alternatives and cable-stayed bridge alternatives based on needed load-bearing construction material amounts in the superstructure. The comparisons are prepared between four tied arch bridge solutions and four cable-stayed bridge solutions of the same span lengths. The sum of the span lengths is 300 m. The rise of arch as well as the height of pylon and cable arrangements follow optimal dimensions. The theoretic optimum rise of tied-arch for minimum material amount is higher than traditionally used for aesthetic reason. The optimum rise for minimum material amount parabolic arch is shown in the paper. The mathematical solution uses axial force index method presented in the paper. For the tied-arches the span-rise-ration of 3 is used. The hangers of the tied-arches are vertical-The tied-arches are calculated by numeric iteration method in order to get moment-less arch. The arches are designed as constant stress arch. The area and the weight of the cross section follow the compression force in the arch. In addition the self-weight of the suspender cables are included in the calculation. The influence of traffic loads are calculated by using a separate FEM program. It is concluded that tied-arch is a competitive alternative to cable-stayed bridge especially when asymmetric bridge spans are considered. -

Difference Between Deck Type and Through Type Bridge and Their Components
Difference between Deck Type and Through Type Bridge and their Components Naveen Choudhary 1 DEFERENCE BETWEEN DECK TYPE AND THROUGH TYPE RAILWAY BRIDGES • Deck-type bridges refer to those in which the road deck is carried on the top flange or on top of the supporting girders. • Through type bridge - The carriageway rests at the bottom level of the main load carrying members. In the through type plate girder bridge, the roadway or railway is placed at the level of bottom flanges.

Plate Girder
3/13/2018 CE 6321 Bridge Structure PLATE GIRDER Dr. AZ Department of Civil Engineering Brawijaya University Introduction These girders are usually fabricated from welded plates and thus are called "Plate Girders". Plate girders may be defined as structural members that resist loads primarily in bending and shear. Although shaped similarly to the commonly used hot-rolled steel I-beams, plate girders differ from them in that they are fabricated from plates, and sometimes angles, that are joined together to form I- shapes. 1 3/13/2018 Introduction (cont’d) Several cross sections may be used for plate girders as shown in Fig. 1. Early plate girders were fabricated by riveting, Fig. 1(a). Their flanges consisted of two angles riveted to the web ends and cover plates riveted to the outstanding legs of the angles. Structural welding, which began to be widely used in the 1950s, has significantly simplified the fabrication of plate girders. Modern plate girders are normally fabricated by welding together two flange plates and a web plate as shown in Fig. 1(b), other variations are possible as shown in Fig. 1(c). Introduction (cont’d) Fig. 1 Cross sections of plate girders 2 3/13/2018 Introduction (cont’d) In common, section used for plate girders are shown in Fig. 2. It shows the simplest form of plate girder, Fig. 2(a). In case, the simple section cannot take the load. Sufficient flange material, additional plates are riveted to outstanding legs of angles as shown in Fig. 2(b) and 2(c). When number of cover plates become excess then the section of plate girder is modified. -
