The History and Service of Timber Howe Truss Bridges in Australia
ABC-MHB005-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
The Howe truss was patented in USA initially in 1840 and again in 1850 and went on to become one of the primary timber truss designs used in North America. The adaptation of the Howe truss in NSW into the two distinct forms known as the “Allan” and…
Benefits and Uses of FE Modelling in Bridge Assessment and Design
ABC-AAI002-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Structural analysis has progressed a long way from hand calculations and the use of distribution factors. From the first computer methods, grid and grillage analysis techniques evolved, leading through progressive enhancements to the advanced 3D…
Fatigue of Road and Rail Bridges - Repair Techniques
ABC-DES022-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
A Consortium of the Welding Technology Institute of Australia (WTIA) members consisting of Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC), RailCorp, Roads and Traffic Authority of New South Wales (RTA), and Transport Main Roads (TMR), Queensland has…
Developments in Modular Expansion Joint Technology: Codes and Testing
ABC-SAS002-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Great advances have been made in modular expansion joint technology since this most versatile type of joint was invented forty years ago, and the use of such joints, especially on very large bridges, has increased steadily. As a consequence,…
Testing of Pre-Tensioned Bolts for Bridge Decks Joints
ABC-IAR008-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
The paper summarizes laboratory tests carried out by RTA Bridge Engineering to investigate different factors affecting the reliability of bolted connections for bridge deck expansion joints. The test rig comprised steel plates bolted to a large…
Observations on the Design and Refurbishment of Modular Expansion Joints
ABC-MAR013-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Modular bridge expansion joints (MBEJs) are utilised when the movement range at a bridge expansion gap exceeds around 300 mm, with the largest MBEJ installed to date accommodating a movement range in excess of 2100 mm. Traditionally MBEJs have been…
Condition Assessment and Strengthening of Shear Connection Systems for Composite Bridges
ABC-MAR003-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Some old bridges in Australia were constructed with a deck system consisting of non-composite concrete slab over steel girders. The paper herein presents the methodology for structural retrofitting/ strengthening of these existing bridges based on…
Experimental investigation of the effective width of composite bridges with dry joints
ABC-IAR003-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
This paper deals with an experimental investigation of a new type of composite bridge using fully prefabricated concrete elements, which shortens the construction time and hence reduces production and economic costs.
A Comprehensive Design Approach for Fingerplate
ABC-DES002-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
Fingerplate bridge deck joints used worldwide to span medium to large expansion joint gaps are usually anchored to concrete decks with debonded through-bolts or sleeved bolts with embedded threaded ferrules. The current approach used by Roads and…
Capacity Reduction Factors for the Design of Ductile Cast Iron Components of Heritage Bridges
ABC-AAI003-11
31 Oct 2011
Bridges
More
RTA’s bridge design engineers have identified that the current capacity reduction factors for cast iron specified in AS 5100.6 are inordinately low compared to those for other engineering metals such as structural steels and wrought iron. The…
