  • Systematic Thesis on Network Arches 2013 by Per Tveit, Dr. Ing. Uia, Norway
    Systematic Thesis on Network Arches 2013 By Per Tveit, dr. ing. UiA, Norway Co-authors: B. Brunn, M. Chan, W. Graße, F. Millanes, M. Ortega, R. Presland, R. Lee, L. Šašek, F. Schanack, P. Steere, G. Wollmann, T. Zoli. The author prefers network arches with concrete ties and H profiles in the arch. A network arch of this type normally saves around ⅔ of the steel weight needed for other steel bridges. If there are steel beams in the tie, around 1/3 of the steel weight is likely to be saved. Network arches look nice. Network arches have been designed in many different ways. See chapter H: Network arches built or planned. My main publication: “The Network Arch” can be found on my homepage: http://home.uia.no/pert/ under the button “The Network Arch”. It was started in 2000 and is the result of an organic growth. Thus readers will often have a hard time if they are seeking information on specific items. The present publication should be more readable and should lead interested readers more directly to what they are looking for. This publication can only be found on the internet. It will be updated at least till 2014. There are many references in the text. They are supposed to lead to more information on the same subject. Thus the system of references at the bottom of the page is important. Contents Chapter A is a general chapter. The network arch is an arch bridge where some hangers cross each other at least twice. The hangers give the arches efficient support and high buckling strength.

Message: This lesson makes the student aware about the scientific development in construction of bridges. Value : Science teaches us about how technology is developed and used. Social Science helps us to understand the impact of technology on common man’s life. It shows the extent of his dependence on modern technology and also his dependence on them like modern houses and bridges. Learning Objectives: 1. Students will be able to identify different types of materials used in constructing the house. 2. They will also be able to tell about different steps involved in brick making and thus understand the importance of using strong materials in constructing houses as well as bridges. 3. Students can easily tell about different types of bridges and their uses. Period 1: Warm up session: The teacher starts the session by showing some pictures of houses like stilt house, tent, bungalow and buildings. The teacher asks the students, 1. Identify the different types of houses? 2. Are all these houses made up of same material? 3. Which materials do you think we use to build them? Expected answers: 1. Stilt house, tent, bungalow and buildings. 2. No, they are made of different materials. 3.

  • Chapter 3 Existing Condition of Bridges and Status of Bridge Maintenance
    THE STUDY ON CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT IN BRIDGE REHABILITATION FINAL REPORT PLANNING, MAINTENANCE AND MANAGEMENT BASED ON 29 BRIDGES FEBRUARY 2007 OF NATIONAL HIGHWAY NETWORK IN COSTA RICA CHAPTER 3 EXISTING CONDITION OF BRIDGES AND STATUS OF BRIDGE MAINTENANCE 3.1 Outline of Bridges in Costa Rica The total length of the road network in Costa Rica is approximately 35,000 km and some of it consists of international trunk roads (e.g., the Pan-American Highway). Land transport accounts for a vast majority of the total transport in Central America due to it being much more cost effective than either air or marine modes of travel. Therefore, strengthening and improving the road network is crucial for regional development. In addition, some trunk roads have no alternative routes due to topographical constraints. Therefore, negative social and economic impacts will be enormous for not only Costa Rica but also for the whole of Central America if these roads are not improved and well maintained. On the other hand, most of the current bridges, which are total of 1,330, on the national highway suffer from damage due to a lack of maintenance work and rehabilitation. Moreover, natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes frequently strike the country just like Japan. Costa Rica’s National Highway has 3 categories classified as following: - Class 1 : Route No 1 to 100 - Class 2 : Route No. 101 to 300 - Class 3 : Route No. 301 and over MOPT has made a Bridge Inventory for every national highway routes and recorded each location, length, width, river name, traffic Volume and type of bridges.
