The Westgate footbridge provides a new pedestrian and cyclist connection across four carriageways of State Highway 16 near the Westgate Shopping Centre in Auckland, NZ. The bridge is 3 m wide and consists of three separate structures

AS 5100, the Australian Bridge Design Code, is currently under review. AS 5100.2, Design Loads, sets out the minimum design loads, forces and load effect for road, railway, pedestrian and bicycle bridges and other associated structures.The review of…

Since the introduction of the current Bridge Design Standard in 2004 there have been real advances in both design and construction methods and in materials technology. The Part 5 Standards Australia Sub-Committee (BD090-05) has responded to this…

The life-cycle performance of concrete bridges exposed to corrosion is investigated based on a set of time-variant probabilistic performance indicators including structural reliability, redundancy, robustness and resilience. The performance…

As bridges age and standards evolve, it has become increasingly necessary to strengthen existing bridges as a much cheaper option than replacing bridges as a whole.

Reinforced concrete (RC) structures in a marine environment deteriorate with time due to chloride-induced corrosion of reinforcing bars. Corrosion is initiated by chloride contamination if the structures have poor quality concrete and/or inadequate…

The use of self-compacting concrete (SCC) in identified concrete bridge elements has now been incorporated in NSW Roads and Maritime Services QA Specifications B80 as Annexure B80/G. The use of SCC in precast elements is generally allowed while a…

Timber bridges are enjoying a revival around the world for pedestrian and vehicular use. There are several reasons for this. Growing interest in reducing CO2 emissions and increasing sustainability has paved the way in part. New and innovative use…
