The Odawara Port Bridge is located at the mouth of Odawara Port. Selecting a bridge type that symbolized the entire project and blended well with the surrounding area was critical. To achieve this, an extra-dosed prestressed concrete box girder with a main span of 122 m was selected. Construction of this bridge type is the first in the world. Special characteristics of this bridge type are a lower tower height than that of a cable-stayed bridge, the use of a saddle at the top of the towers, and the incorporation of epoxy-coated strands for diagonal cables. The design of the various sections of the bridge was achieved by integrating the characteristic shape of the towers with cable profiles while establishing horizontal continuity with the main girder. As a result of the integration process, the following design objectives were adopted: (a) constant main girder depth; (b) inverted trapezoidal main girder cross section; (c) towers without a connecting beam at the top; (d) a fan-shaped saddle; (e) compact cable vibration dampers; (f) graded metallic coloring of cables; (g) integrated steel railing and road surface lighting; (h) nighttime bridge lighting, and (i) encased drainage pipes.

Time dependent variables such as temperature gradient, effective temperature, creep, and shrinkage lead to long term deflection in prestressed concrete girders. This in turn effects the serviceability and sustainability of the bridge in the long run. Therefore, research and analysis is of paramount importance before deciding the type of girder to be used. A parametric study was carried out in order to determine the most desirable and efficient type of box girder to be used for a prestressed concrete bridge having a continuous span. Three prestressed concrete box girder bridge models of single, multi-cell rectangular and multi-cell trapezoidal cross section, having similar span, width and depth were taken into consideration. The finite element models were analysed using MIDAS Civil. The behaviour of the box girder cell types under various time dependent properties such as temperature, creep and shrinkage are presented in this paper. The results show that the prestressed concrete box girder bridge of multi-cell rectangular cross section exhibits greater forces and moments due to time dependent variables in comparison to the other two box girder cell types.

Abstract The paper deals with the shear assessment of existing prestressed concrete box-girder bridges. Mainly focuses on the historical development of technical standards used in the design of prestressed concrete road bridges in the Slovak Republic. The standards for bridge design have been amended several times. A parametric study was performed on a model post-tensioned concrete bridge with a box-girder cross-section, which compares the internal forces along the length of the bridge using various standards and technical regulations., The differences in design principles and shear capacity were investigated while the amount and geometry of the longitudinal prestressing of the bridge were the same for all cases. Case of study is a road three-span post-tensioned concrete bridge with a main span of 50 m and end spans of 40 m. The single box-girder cross section height is constant of 2.5 m. The bridge is straight without any curvature in the horizontal plane. The thickness of the bottom slab is variable near the inner supports. The prestressing is formed by 19-strands tendons with a strand diameter of 15.7 mm with a polygonal cable geometry. The numerical model is considered as a beam element with neglecting of the torsional effects of the load. The parametric study points out the differences in the internal forces with use of different design regulations and standards. It also focuses on the shear resistance of the walls of the box-girder cross-section of the bridge. Differences in design methods are presented by the required area of shear reinforcement in the wall of box cross-section. The aim of the study is to point out the historical development of design from the point of view of shear resistance of prestressed bridges. When assessing existing older bridges and trying to achieve reliability according to the current Eurocodes, there is subsequently a requirement for additional shear reinforcement.

Tension rocker bearing (TRB) cables installed at auxiliary piers were critical members to sustain the structural system in a prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridge. Once these cables fractured or broken, its structural system would be transferred. Based on diseases caused by fracture of TRB cables in Yonghe Bridge, corresponding maintenance or strengthening measures were described in detail. These measures included replacement of TRB cables, strengthening of the closure segment of main girder at each side span, and adjustment of stay cable forces. Monitoring results showed that, its structural system was finally and completely rehabilitated, and the safety factor of new TRB cables is enough under the most unfavorable load combination. Moreover, the line shape of main girder and the inclined displacement at the top of each pylon were improved effectively. Thus, Yonghe Bridge accumulated some valuable experience for maintenance or strengthening of existing prestressed concrete cable-stayed bridges, and also made a useful exploration.

In some long-span prestressed concrete box girder bridges, excessive deflections of main girders are often observed. These unacceptable deflections have detrimental influence on the serviceability and safety of the structures. To better understand and estimate short term and long term deflections for prestressed concrete box girder bridges, pier vertical deformation and its effect on deflections of main girders of Jinghe Bridg is investigated in this paper. Piers in Jinghe Bridge are tall and the difference in height between piers up to 22 m. Analysis indicates that although the short term deformations of piers are small, the long term deformations of piers can be 3 times as large as that of short-term ones. The maximum short-term downward deflection of Jinghe Bridge caused by pier deformation for main girders is 7.7 mm and the maximum long-term downward deflection is 33.3 mm. These values are relatively small compared with the span length of the bridge. But when the deflection of the main girder itself is also included, the final total deflection of the main girder may exceed the design code limit.

In general, bridges are made in a straight shape, but with complex geometries, topographic factors, and efforts to prevent congestion, horizontal curved bridges are used at highways and toll roads. In building a bridge, good planning is needed especially in terms of strength. However, the use of improper dimensions will cause a bridge to be over-designed or under-designed. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to determine the effect of web thickness on the safety of prestressed concrete box girder due to variations in the horizontal curvature angle on the bridge. The span length of the analysed bridge is 60 m with a roller-joint placement and a single span bridge type. The angular variation of the horizontal curved bridge used are 0°, 15°, and 30°. The analysis was carried out using the Midas Civil 2020 program in accordance with the SNI 1725 : 2016 loading standard. The results of this analysis indicate that with increasing the thickness of prestressed concrete box girder web, it will cause increased stress and deflection on the bridge. Pada umumnya jembatan dibuat dengan bentuk lurus, namun dengan adanya geometri yang kompleks, faktor topografi, dan upaya untuk mencegah terjadinya kemacetan, jembatan lengkung horizontal digunakan pada simpang susun jalan raya dan jalan tol. Dalam membangun suatu jembatan, diperlukan perencanaan yang baik terutama dari segi kekuatan. Akan tetapi, dengan penggunaan dimensi yang tidak tepat akan menyebabkan suatu jembatan menjadi over-designed atau under-designed. Oleh karena itu, tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui pengaruh dari ketebalan web terhadap keamanan prestressed concrete box girder akibat variasi sudut kelengkungan horizontal pada jembatan. Panjang bentang jembatan yang dianalisis adalah 60 m dengan perletakan sendi-rol dan jenis jembatan single span. Variasi sudut jembatan lengkung horizontal yang digunakan adalah 0°, 15°, dan 30°. Analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan program Midas Civil 2020 sesuai dengan standar pembebanan SNI 1725 : 2016. Hasil dari analisis ini menunjukkan bahwa dengan meningkatnya ketebalan web prestressed concrete box girder, akan menyebabkan meningkatnya tegangan dan juga defleksi pada jembatan.

A swivel cable-stayed bridge over the existing railway is a span across the existing railway. The recommended scheme for the main bridge is (128 + 388 + 128) m steel mixed composite beam swivel diagonal pull bridge with span. The cables of the diagonal pull bridge are arranged according to the fanshaped central double cable plane, taking into account the mechanical performance and aesthetics. The bridge structure adopts semi floating system. The concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge is adopted in the comparison scheme. The design of the bridge is three spans and (138 + 268 + 138) m prestressed concrete box girder is adopted. The cables are arranged according to the central double cable plane, and the bridge composition adopts the consolidation system. Considering the needs of bridge operation and maintenance in the later stage of the bridge, when the dead weight of concrete diagonal pull bridge is within the ideal range, the concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge can be preferred. In order to calculate the dead weight of the selected bridge, the author uses the finite element software to model the whole bridge and calculate the weight of the bridge. The results show that the dead weight of the concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge is too large, which has exceeded the maximum bearing capacity of the existing spherical hinge. In order to continue to use the concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge scheme, it is necessary to optimize the design of the concrete swivel diagonal pull bridge scheme.
