Testing methods are required for estimating prestress losses in Prestressed Concrete (PC) girder-bridges. They mainly include destructive approaches which cause significant damages. Conversely, dynamic nondestructive unsuitable. Given these findings, a novel method identifying residual force simply supported PC girder-bridges was implemented. Following the vertical load application three-point ...

Keselamatan dan Kesehatan Kerja merupakan suatu hal yang sangat penting di dunia konstruksi karena bersinggungan langsung dengan pekerja, perhitungan potensi risiko salah dapat mengakibatkan terjadinya kecelakaan kerja terutama kepada para pekerja Indonesia sendiri pada pekerjaan erection girder masih sering terjadi, sekitar 6 insiden terkait terjadi dalam kurun waktu 2017-2021 maka penelitian ...

double bridge girder overhead cranes are used for heavy duty applications in theindustry. in this paper a detailed parametric design optimization of the main girder of box type isperformed for a 150ton capacity and 32m long span crane, after its basic design using availabledesign rules. design optimization is performed using detailed 3d finite element analysis bychanging the number, shape and l...

Geometric nonlinearity of self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridges is studied in this paper. The repercussion of shrinkage and creep of concrete, rise-to-span ratio, and girder camber on the system is discussed. A self-anchored cable-stayed suspension bridge with a main span of 800 m is analyzed with linear theory, second-order theory, and nonlinear theory, respectively. In the condition o...

60 A practical approach to the optimal design of precast, prestressed concrete highway bridge girder systems is presented. The approach aims at standardizing the optimal design of bridge systems, as opposed to standardizing girder sections. Structural system optimization is shown to be more relevant than conventional girder optimization for an arbitrarily chosen structural system. Bridge system...

In this paper, two sets of comparative fatigue tests on weathering steel-concrete composite girders were carried out in the context girder bridges. The load-deflection relationship under loading different environments was investigated contrastively. experimental results show that coupled effect corrosive environment and load, steel still shows obvious corrosion; simple load has no significant s...

Cantilevers are a part of our life, they everywhere: bridg–es, building’s balconies, traffic signs, car parking shades even the aircraft’s wings. The long cantilevers buildings always present as big challenge to structural engineers in their practice life. behavior these depends on several factors, such rigidity slab, columns or walls, span continuity... etc. But real dilemma lies economical ch...

The tensile force of pre-stressed concrete (PSC) girders is the most important factor for managing the stability of PSC bridges. The tensile force is induced using pre-stressing (PS) tendons of a PSC girder. Because the PS tendons are located inside of the PSC girder, the tensile force cannot be measured after construction using conventional NDT (non-destructive testing) methods. To monitor the...
