Maximum Span

Soil–steel structures is the name given to bridge, culvert, and underpass types of conduit openings designed with corrugated steel pipe plates (SPCSP) and engineered soil around these plates. The maximum span for these structures has approached 16 m in an arch configuration. Their design was rationalized by Canadian research in the 1960s, concurrently with the construction of several hundred units. Recent codification of design requirements has drawn attention to the need for documenting construction practices and other lesser known physical aspects of these structures. This paper is a contribution towards that documentation.

AbstractA characteristic feature of soil-steel structures is that, unlike in typical bridges, the backfill and the carriageway pavement with its foundation play a major role in bearing loads. In the soil-steel structure model, one can distinguish two structural subsystems: the shell made of corrugated plates and the backfill with the pavement layers. The interactions between the subsystems are modelled as interfacial interactions, that is, forces normal and tangent to the surface of the shell. This is a static condition of the consistency of mutual interactions between the surrounding earth and the shell, considering that slip can arise at the interface between the subsystems. This paper presents an algorithm for determining the internal forces in the shell on the basis of the unit strains in the corrugated plates, and subsequently, the interfacial interactions. The effects of loads arising during the construction of a soil-steel bridge when, for example, construction machines drive over the structure, are taken into account in the analysis of the internal forces in the shell and in the surrounding earth. During construction, the forces in the shell are usually many times greater than the ones generated by service loads. Thus, the analytical results presented in this paper provide the basis for predicting the behaviour of the soil medium under operational loads.

Bridge Crossing

Buried steel structures, commonly referred to as buried bridges, culverts, or soil-steel structures are a valuable bridge crossing solution. Owners manage their bridge assets by evaluating their condition and rehabilitating as required. Ontario’s resources for managing and rehabilitating buried steel bridge structures are limited, and an investigation into the maintenance and rehabilitation practice of Ontario’s assets demonstrates a lag in their maintenance and rehabilitation. Knowledge regarding rehabilitation of these structures is dispersed and unconcise, leaving owners challenged to understanding how to best manage and rehabilitate their assets. This paper investigates the age, condition, and rehabilitation of steel buried bridges in Ontario and reviews the commonly encountered deterioration and distress mechanisms along with the state-of-the-art rehabilitation practices. With an understanding of structural behavior, deterioration, and rehabilitation opportunities for structures nearing the end of their service lives, owners will be better equipped to effectively manage their inventory and leverage the economic, social, and environmental value of buried structures.

In 2011, a new chapter was added to the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CAN/CSA S6) [1] enabling the design of aluminum bridge components and structures in Canada. In 2016, activities are well underway, which will result in significant modifications to the Canadian aluminum structures code: “Strength Design in Aluminum” (CAN/CSA S157) [2] and the Canadian code for welding of aluminum structures: “Welded Aluminum Construction” (CAN/CSA W59.2) [3]. This paper discusses the philosophies employed in the development and modernization of these design codes and highlights some of the major changes to these codes. In the case of CAN/CSA S6, the new aluminum chapter was basically written from scratch. However, a practical approach was employed of using material from existing codes, where appropriate (including CAN/CSA S157, the AASHTO Bridge Design Specification [4], the U.S. Aluminum Design Manual [5], and the Eurocode [6]), and organizing the chapter to resemble as closely as possible the chapter for steel bridge structures, so that designers would be relatively comfortable with the new material. In the case of CAN/CSA S157, a significant reorganization of the code contents will be occurring in the latest edition, in order to bring it closer to the Canadian steel structures code (CAN/CSA S16) [7] where possible, again to make the code more user friendly. In the case of the aluminum welding code (CAN/CSA W59.2), changes are being considered to allow the use of technologies such as friction stir welding (FSW) and post-weld treatments (e.g. peening, grinding) for improving fatigue performance. This work is being done with input from Canadian industry experts and academics, in consultation with international experts from the U.S. and Europe. It is expected that this work will lead to substantially improved design codes, resulting in significant benefits in terms of the economics and safety implications of designing aluminum structures in Canada.

Nonlinear Time History

Nonlinear time history analyses of SDOF bridge columns with elasto-plastic flexural behaviour which are subject to eccentric gravity loading are conducted to quantify the effect of ratchetting. Peak and residual displacements were used as indicators of the degree of ratchetting. The effects of member axial loads and design force reduction factors were also investigated. It was shown that displacement demands increased with increasing eccentric moment. For eccentric moment of 30% of the yield moment, the average maximum and residual displacements increase by 4.2 and 3.8 times the maximum displacement, respectively, which the engineers calculate using static methods without considering ratchetting effect. Design curves for estimating the displacement demands for different eccentric moments are also developed. The current NZ1170.5 (2016) provisions were found to be inadequate in estimating the maximum displacement for steel structures, and hence, new provisions for steel structures should be presented.

Buckling Behavior

<p>In Japan, many steel structures were constructed during the period of the high economic miracle, and they are now more than 50 years old and are aging. Corrosion has been confirmed at corners and the boundary of concrete-wrapped concrete in steel piers. It was found that corrosion damage at the corner of steel piers causes a decrease of seismic performance in our previous investigations that carried out seismic response analysis. Subsequently, in this study, the effect of corrosion damage at the near ground edge of steel bridge piers with a rectangular cross-section was investigated in detail on the buckling behaviour and seismic performance of structures. As a result, it is found that the buckling at the base causes a decrease in load bearing performance compared to the buckling in the entire panel. It is necessary to properly maintain to prevent buckling at the base caused by corrosion.</p>

Within the national project “Safe and quality automobile roads” realization a big number of bridge passages will be constructed, including steel road bridges with small (14–42 m) spans instead of reinforced concrete bridges. Application of metal rolled products of 10ХСНД, 15ХСНД, 10ХСНДА, 15ХСНДА steels in the steel structures of bridges with small spans results in unreasonable increase the costs of the bridges structures. This circumstance stipulates necessity to elaboration and implementation of cheap lean alloy steel for manufacturing standard short-spanned bridges. The steel production should involve minimal and lean alloying method and ensure complex of operation properties in normalized state. At JSC “Ural Steel” an experiment work was accomplished for elaboration lean alloy steel 12Г2СБД due to STO 13657842-1 having standard yield strength 345 MPa. In cooperation with NIZ “Mosty”, OJSC “CNIIS” and CNIIchermet after I.P. Bardin technical specifications of plates for short-spanned bridges were elaborated and approved. Comprehensive technology of 12Г2СБД steel plate production was elaborated. A trial batch of 12Г2СБД steel plates was produced and shipped to ZAO “Kurganstalmost”. Study of welding and technological characteristics of the trial batch plates was carried out. The study showed, that the plates of 12Г2СБД steel have low sensitiveness against heat action of a welding thermal cycle and can be used in welding structures of steel bridge spans providing keeping the plant and assembling welding technology by standard regimes (due to welding technology of steel 10–15ХСНД). Application of the plant and assembling technology at welding by standard regimes makes it possible to use the plates of the elaborated steel for manufacturing metal structures of short-spanned metal bridges for various weather conditions. The plated can be used for both a regular performance (the calculated minimum temperature is down to –40 °С inclusive) and a northern performance Zone A (the calculated minimum temperature is down to –50 °С inclusive).
