Abstract:

To assemble the fulcrum of a bascule bridge, a trunnion is shrink fitted into a hub, followed by shrink fitting of the trunnion-hub (TH) assembly into the girder of the bridge. To shrink the TH assembly, it is cooled in a medium such as liquid nitrogen; however, during this process in some cases, the hub cracks. To reduce the possibility of such failures, a formal design-of-experiments study is conducted to find the influence of geometrical parameters such as the hub outer diameter and the radial interference (at the TH interface), and different cooling methods on design parameters such as the critical crack lengths and stress ratios. Cooling methods include immersion in, first, liquid nitrogen; second, a dry-ice-alcohol bath followed by liquid nitrogen; third, a refrigerated air chamber followed by liquid nitrogen; and, fourth, a refrigerated air chamber followed by a dry-ice-alcohol bath and then liquid nitrogen. The cooling method contributes the most to increasing the critical crack length (between 58 and 79 per cent) and increasing the stress ratio (between 48 and 84 per cent) when considering the TH assembly procedures in representative fulcrum geometries. Moreover, the second cooling method, which is immersion of the TH assembly in a dry-ice-alcohol bath followed by immersion in liquid nitrogen, gives larger critical crack lengths (between 262 and 406 per cent) and larger stress ratios (between 17 and 87 per cent) compared with the current cooling method that uses only liquid nitrogen.

Abstract:

To model shrink-fitting in metal components, an analytical model for two long compound cylinders with temperature dependent material properties and interference between them is developed for calculating transient temperatures and stresses. A finite element model is developed for the same geometry which incorporated the temperature dependent material properties. A convergence study is performed on the finite element and analytical model. The finite element model is validated by comparing the approximations of finite element model with the analytical solution. In an assembly procedure of fulcrums for bascule bridges, called AP1, the trunnion is shrink-fitted into a hub, followed by shrink fitting the trunnion-hub assembly into the girder of the bridge. In another assembly procedure called AP2, the hub is shrink-fitted into the girder, followed by shrink-fitting the trunnion in the hub-girder assembly. A formal design of experiments (DOE) study is conducted on both AP1 and AP2 using the finite element model to find the influence of geometrical parameters such as radial thickness of the hub, radial interference, and various shrink-fitting methods on the design parameter of overall minimum critical crack length (OMCCL) - a measure of likelihood of failure by cracking. Using the results of DOE study conducted on both the assembly procedures, AP1 and AP2 are quantitatively compared for the likelihood of fracture during assembly. For single-staged shrink-fitting methods, for high and low hub radial thickness to hub inner diameter ratio, assembly procedure AP1 and AP2 are recommended, respectively. For fulcra with low hub radial thickness to hub inner diameter ratio and where staged shrink-fitting methods are used, for AP2, cooling the trunnion in dry-ice/alcohol and heating the girder, and for AP1, cooling the trunnion-hub assembly in dry-ice/alcohol followed by immersion in liquid nitrogen is recommended. For fulcra with high hub radial thickness to hub inner diameter ratio and where staged shrink-fitting methods are used, cooling the components in dry-ice/alcohol and heating the girder is recommended for both AP1 and AP2. Due to the limitations of AP2, assembly procedures by heating the girder with heating coils instead of dipping an already stressed trunnion-hub assembly in liquid nitrogen are studied for decreasing the likelihood of failure by cracking and yielding. In an assembly procedure called AP3-A, only the girder is heated to shrink-fit the trunnion-hub assembly in the girder. This assembly procedure AP3-A is found to be infeasible because the girder fails by yielding if heating is expected to be completed in a reasonable amount of time. An alternative assembly procedure called AP3-B is suggested for shrink-fitting where the heating of the girder is combined with cooling the trunnion-hub assembly in dry-ice/alcohol mixture. This assembly procedure AP3-B is found to be feasible. A complete DOE study is conducted on AP3-B to find the influence of parameters like hub radial thickness and radial interference at trunnion-hub interface on the design parameter of overall minimum critical crack length. The design parameter, OMCCL values during the assembly procedure AP3-B are quantitatively compared with the widely used assembly procedures (AP1 single-stage shrink-fitting and AP1 multi-staged shrink fitting). The results of this work suggest that increasing the hub radial thickness decreases the likelihood of fracture significantly. For hubs with large radial thickness, heating the girder combined with cooling the trunnion-hub in dry-ice/alcohol mixture (AP3-B) is recommended but for hubs with low radial thickness, multistage cooling of the trunnion-hub assembly in dry-ice/alcohol mixture followed by dipping in liquid nitrogen (AP1- multistage cooling) is recommended.

Abstract:

<p>The Gouin bascule bridge is a 1,300 tons gigantic steel structure that allows pleasure boats to enter the Chambly Canal National Historic Site and provides access over the Richelieu river for vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians. As part of a project to revitalize and modernize the city centre, the architectural concept of the movable bridge will provide a landmark to this highly touristic site. There are only few examples in the world of such movable bridges with a large suspended counterweight. The challenges of the project include strict architectural criteria, fabrication and alignment of over 800 mm in diameter pins, the assembly on-site of remarkably large bridge parts and the precise balancing of the bridge.</p><p>When designing this structure, WSP made sure to consider the non-redundant aspect of some parts of the structure. Details regarding the design of the stays supporting the entire upper structure and the hydraulic cylinders initiating the rotation are described in this paper. The planning of the works in the middle of the critical infrastructures and services surrounding the bridge is explained. Since no interruption of the navigation on the canal was allowed during construction, some special considerations had to be taken with regards to the works at the foundation units.</p>

Abstract:

<p>In the city of Gdansk in Poland, in the very centre of the Baltic capital, on 17 June 2017, a new draw footbridge was ceremoniously opened to the public. The Ołowianka footbridge represents the long-time much-needed link between the highly tourist-visited historical old town and Ołowianka Island, where further cultural, tourist and recreation facilities are located. The bridge spans a very busy navigable channel of the Motława River, leading inward towards other city channels, a harbour for many tourist ships and the Gdansk Marina. Being the main navigable entrance to the city centre, the Motława is constantly under nautical traffic, so the Ołowianka footbridge operates 24/7, according to a 30-minute schedule. The Ołowianka footbridge is an extraordinary acquisition for the city of Gdansk, which immediately became a new landmark and much more in the already very picturesque historic city centre. Not just its design, but also its carefully chosen location and its realisation at the right moment, has made this bridge indispensable to the inhabitants, visitors and the administration of the city of Gdansk, decisively contributing to further development in the Ołowianka Island area and its surroundings.</p>

Abstract:

<p>The Murray Morgan Lift Bridge in Tacoma WA was constructed in 1913. In 2007, the bridge was closed to vehicular and pedestrian traffic for advanced deterioration of structural systems, mechanical and electrical components. The bridge was scheduled for demolition. In 2010 after acquiring funding, the City of Tacoma awarded a design‐build contract to reconstruct this historic bridge. The restoration work included structural steel strengthening repairs, seismic improvements, roadway deck, and stringer replacement, complete paint system removal/re‐coating, as well as modernization of the antiquated mechanical/electrical systems. Construction was completed 2012 and full legal load traffic was restored.</p><p>The Broadway Bridge in Portland OR was constructed in 1912. The bridge is a unique Rall type double leaf bascule and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. After more than 100 years of service, the cast steel Rall wheels and tracks that support the entire weight of the movable spans were severely deteriorated and required replacement. Complex jacking, machining, and updated materials were required to renew these critical components. Construction was completed in 2018.</p><p>This paper will summarize the innovative design solutions developed to restore and strengthen these two historic movable bridge structures.</p>

Abstract:

Movable railroad bridges, consisting of lift, bascule, or swing bridges have been used by American rail tracks that cross usable waterways for over a century. Although custom made, movable bridges share many common components and designs. Most of them use weight bearing towers for the movable span using electric or electro-hydraulic systems lift and/or rotate these movable spans. Automated locks hold the bridge in place as soon as the movement stops. The bridge operation, train and ship signaling systems work in synchrony for trains and waterway traffic to be granted safe passage with minimal delay. This synchrony is maintained by using custom-made control systems using Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) or Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs). Controllers located on the movable and the static parts of the bridge communicate using radio and/or wired underwater links sometimes involving marine cables. The primary objective of this paper is to develop a framework to analyze the safety and security of the bridge operating systems and their synchronous operations with railway and waterway systems. We do so by modeling the movable physical components and their control system with the interconnected network system and determine the faults and attacks that may affect their operations. Given the prevalence of attacks against PLCs, FPGAs and controllers, we show a generic way to determine the effect of what if scenarios that may arise due to attacks combined with failures using a case study of a swing bridge.

Abstract:

<p>The present paper describes developments in the design of the most common types of movable bridges – Bascule bridges and Swing Bridges. The selection of design concepts is influenced by span, foundation conditions as well as environmental issues. Application of modern hydraulic systems and innovative bearing types for swing bridges facilitate the creation of outstanding designs. Recently built moveable bridges in Denmark exemplifies the trend and how application of modern technology and creativity can lead to outstanding solutions. There are many governing parameters such as the span, free opening height and loading conditions. Equally important issues such as surroundings, landscape, foundation conditions, requirement to low weight, achievable tolerances and from a mechanical point of view, the operation time. Risk assessment, mechanical- and electrical systems and the requirement to operation time and maintenance cost, will have influence on the selection of machinery and the architectural and structural design. For each of the moveable bridges described, it is shown how innovative application of modern bearing concepts and hydraulic systems can lead to elegant and cost-effective solutions.</p>
