Zusammenfassung Neben gestiegenen Verkehrslasten führen strengere normative Regeln zu höheren Anforderungen an Spannbetonbrücken. Viele ältere Spannbetonbrücken im Bestand weisen daher rechnerische Defizite bei der Querkrafttragfähigkeit auf. Durch experimentelle und theoretische Untersuchungen konnten im Zuge eines Forschungsprojekts für die Bundesanstalt für Straßenwesen (BASt) verfeinerte Berechnungsansätze für Querkraft erarbeitet werden. In diesem Beitrag werden am Institut für Massivbau der RWTH Aachen (IMB) durchgeführte Großversuche an Spannbetondurchlaufträgern vorgestellt. Die Träger mit Rechteck- oder I-Profil wiesen geringe Querkraftbewehrungsgrade auf und wurden durch Gleichstreckenlasten beansprucht. Auf Basis der Forschungsergebnisse wurde ein verfeinertes Bemessungsmodell entwickelt, das aus einem modifizierten Fachwerkmodell mit additivem Betontraganteil besteht und gegenüber dem Ansatz nach aktueller Nachrechnungsrichtlinie weitere Querkrafttragreserven berücksichtigt.

Precast Prestressed Concrete

Many bridge owners have developed new precast, prestressed concrete bridge girder sections that are optimized for high-performance concrete and pretensioning strands with diameters greater than 0.5 in. (12.7 mm). Girder sections have been developed for increased span capacities, while others fill a need in shorter span ranges. Accurate geometric properties are essential for design. Common properties, including cross-sectional area, location of centroid, and major axis moment of inertia, are generally easy to compute and are readily available in standard design references. Computation of the torsion constant is a different matter. This paper presents the methods and results of a study to determine the torsion constant for many of the modern precast, prestressed concrete bridge girders used in the United States and compares the results with values from the approximate methods of the AASHTO LRFD specifications.

Prestressed Concrete Bridge

In the Netherlands, many prestressed concrete bridge girders are found to have insufficient shear–tension capacity. We tested four girders taken from a demolished bridge and instrumented these with traditional displacement sensors and acoustic emission (AE) sensors, and used cameras for digital image correlation (DIC). The results show that AE can detect cracking before the traditional displacement sensors, and DIC can identify the cracks with detailed crack kinematics. Both AE and DIC methods provide additional information for the structural analysis, as compared to the conventional measurements: more accurate cracking load, the contribution of aggregate interlock, and the angle of the compression field. These results suggest that both AE and DIC are suitable options that warrant further research on their use in lab tests and field testing of prestressed bridges.
