STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE WEB AND CONSTRUCTION METHOD THEREOF
Disclosed are a steel-concrete composite web and a construction method thereof, and relate to the field of bridge engineering. The steel-concrete composite web comprises a plurality of prefabricated web segments connected in sequence, wherein each prefabricated web segment comprises a corrugated steel web and a concrete encasement, each concrete encasement is arranged on the inner side of the corresponding corrugated steel web. The right and left edges of adjacent corrugated steel web segments are connected, and a pouring space is formed between adjacent concrete encasements; and each concrete encasement is provided with joint reinforcing rebars used for stretching into the pouring space, first concrete is poured into the pouring space to form a cast-in-place wet joint, and the joint reinforcing rebars are embedded into the cast-in-place wet joint.
SYSTEM FOR AN ARCH BRIDGE AND METHODS OF PRODUCING THE SAME
An arch bridge system including first and second side walls, a foundation, and arch beams. The first and second side walls each include side wall sections supported by the foundation and aligned along the width of the system. Adjacent side wall sections form a column therebetween that defines an interior void extending along a height of the column. A first end of each arch beam is supported at the first side wall at an upper portion of one of the columns and a second end is supported at the second side wall at an upper portion of another one of the columns. Each interior void has reinforced concrete forming cast-in-place columns defining rigid, fixed, monolithic connections between the foundation, the first and second side walls, and the plurality of arch beams. A method of producing an arch bridge system is also disclosed.
ASSEMBLED TYPE PIER COLUMN MEMBER WITH STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE STRUCTURE
A segment-assembled type pier column member with a steel-concrete composite structure includes a reinforcement tube embedded in a pile cap, wherein the reinforcement tube is connected with a bottom of a lower segment of a hollow steel tube pier and is poured with concrete, and pier columns in upper and lower segments are reinforced by means of segment connecting and being embedded with local reinforcing meshes. A steel cross beam is connected with an upper segment of the hollow steel tube pier in an assembled way. A pre-stressed tensioning duct is reserved between the steel cross beam and the pier column in the upper segment.
Shallow single plate steel tub girder
A shallow single plate cold roll formed steel tub girder member is fabricated from unheated steel plate material by a cold roll-forming process which eliminates longitudinal welds and induces camber in the tub girder member.
Roadway infrastructure for autonomous vehicles
An elevated roadway for autonomous vehicles may include a pylon extending vertically from a ground anchor and comprising a metal tube defining a central cavity and a concrete column within the central cavity. The elevated roadway further includes a bracket coupled to the pylon and comprising a mounting plate secured to the pylon and a cantilevered road support member extending from the mounting plate. The elevated roadway may further include a cantilevered road section coupled to the pylon via the cantilevered road support member and comprising a joist structure structurally coupled to the cantilevered road support member, a road member above the joist structure and supported by the joist structure, and first and second side barriers along first and second sides of the road member, respectively. The road member may be adapted to receive a four-wheeled roadway vehicle.
Bridge construction system and method
The bridge construction system and method according to the present invention provides a lightweight, efficient, economical, long-lasting, and easily implemented composite steel structure that can be filled with concrete in place for the construction of pedestrian and smaller road bridges, specifically those found in rural areas. The bridge construction system of the present invention is unique in that it is a steel-frame reinforced composite bridge with decking and rebar caging that provides a permanent, non-removable form for poured-in-place concrete. The composite nature of the bridge allows for installation of the bridge to take place in one day, while the entire process from site preparation such as grading and excavation to cleanup takes a week or less. The quick installation of the bridge is designed to have a minimally invasive impact on the surrounding environment.
TUB GIRDERS AND RELATED MANUFACTURING METHODS
Improved tub girders and related manufacturing methods are provided, such as for example for use in road construction in connection with concrete bridges. Disclosed improved tub girders may include upper flanges that extending inwardly or outwardly. Disclosed improved tub girders may be provided with camber along the length of the girders. Ends of the disclosed improved tub girders may be provided with diaphragms. Disclosed improved tub girders may include a base section including one more access ports for enabling inspection of the interior of the girders after installation. Disclosed improved tub girders may include a plurality of stud members extending upwardly from upper flanges for engaging with a concrete bridge deck. Disclosed tub girders may be providing with a coating, such as galvanized, aluminized or metalized, to fight corrosion and extend life and limit need for inspection.
COMPOSITE DECK STRUCTURE FOR BRIDGE AND BRIDGE STRUCTURE AND CONSTRUCTION METHOD THEREOF
Disclosed are a composite deck structure for a bridge, and a bridge structure and a construction method thereof. The composite deck structure includes a top plate (1), longitudinal ribs (2), and transverse ribs (3), where the longitudinal ribs (2) are fixedly connected to the transverse ribs (3), and are connected to the diaphragms (4) by means of the transverse ribs (3), and the transverse ribs (3) are not provided with cutouts for accommodating the longitudinal ribs (2). According to the composite deck structure, no cutout is provided on the diaphragms (4), and stress generated by the cutouts is reduced; hot-rolled section steel is used for longitudinal ribs (2) and transverse ribs (3) instead of welded steel plates, such that welding seams are reduced and fatigue resistance of the composite deck structure is improved.
