Abstract:
Arch bridges which have existed since thousands years ago showed surprising durability. Due to the aesthetic value of arch bridges, it is widely used as crossing over valleys and rivers nowadays. Closed spandrel arch bridge is one type of arch bridges that has been developed using precast concrete technology since 1965. Currently, the available Precast Concrete Arch Bridge Systems are BEBO arch, Matiere arch, CON/SPAN arch, TechSpan arch, NUCON arch, Concrete-Filled FRP Tube arch, Flexi-Arch, Rivo CS-P Series arch and Pearl Chain arch.

Abstract:
A precast concrete closed spandrel arch bridge system developed for river crossing in Malaysia is presented. The 7.1m clear rise and 20.1m clear span overfilled arch bridge was proposed. Conventional beam bridge construction system has been ruled out due to the handling difficulty and cost factors. A structurally efficient precast arch section with corrugated shape was conceptualized, designed and developed. The economical viable solution adapted was a precast closed spandrel arch bridge system consisting of two connecting half-leaf panels with insitu crown beam. This system has been proven ef

Abstract:
The basic principle of arch bridge design is high level concord of 5 points between arch axial line and the pressure line. Taking lightweight aggregate concrete as arch crown filler, the casting area is divided into arch spandrel area and arch crown area. Through adjusting filler weight density, the arch axial line and pressure line can be adjusted to decrease the difference between them. The force condition of main arch bridge gets improved. The method can reinforce double-curved arch bridge together with increasing section method. It is seen that the property of arch ring masonry material go

With the application of the composition material-concrete-filled-steel-tube (CFST) in civil engineering, the crossing ability of arch bridge gets advanced development. Therefore, it is of interesting to study the stability of such long-span arch bridges, especially which have small width, for the bridge’s safety under long term operation. The present study focuses on studies the transverse stability of long-span arch bridges with small width. To this purpose, a deck type CFST arch-bridge in Gansu Province is adopted as an example.

Abstract:
When a 70-year-old multiarch concrete bridge was to be reconstructed by removing the deck and vertical spandrel columns down to the arch, analysis was necessary for unloading and reloading. The arch bridge, located on TH-55 over the Minnesota River, was of world-record length for such a structure when it was originally constructed in 1926 through 1928. The amount of steel reinforcement in each of the two support arches was only 32 No. 9 bars of 28.6-mm (1.125-in.) diameter. The deck, which was 18.3 m (60 ft) wide and supported at 9.1 m (30 ft) by columns, was designed as a patented panel syste

Since 1983, 12 Icelandic bridges have been base isolated for seismic protection. Lead-rubber bearings have been used in all the cases. The Thjorsa River Bridge, built in 1950 and retrofitted with base isolation in 1991, is instrumented by strong-motion accelerometers. The bridge has one 83-m-long main span and two 12-m-long approach spans. Only the main span, a steel arch truss with concrete deck, is base isolated. In June 2000, two major earthquakes of magnitude 6.6 and 6.5 occurred in South Iceland; the epicenter was close to the Thjorsa River Bridge. In the first earthquake, a peak ground a

As Americaâ s infrastructure ages, many of the nationâ s bridges approach the end of their service life. In order to develop a method for handling the rising number of deficient and functionally obsolete bridges, nondestructive tests and evaluations must be undertaken. Valuable information from these tests regarding the strength and condition of bridges will help in making decisions about their rehabilitation and replacement. <p> Two adjoining open spandrel reinforced concrete arch bridges in downtown Appalachia, Virginia were selected for live load testing by Virginia Department of Transpo

The main objective is to estimate the load carrying capacity in ultimate limit state analysis. A case study of the old Årsta railway bridge is presented, serving as both the initiation and a direct application of the present research. The demand from the bridge owner is to extend the service life of the bridge by 50 years and increase the allowable axle load from 22.5 to 25 metric tonnes.

The behaviour of open spandrel brickwork masonry arch bridges (OSBMAB) was studied through model tests and finite element simulations. One three-metre and two five-metre span, full scale OSBMAB were constructed and tested to destruction. Two `partial' models including a combination of spandrel arches and piers, and a five-metre span single arch were also tested with intention of studying the functions of the components of the OSBMAB. To simulate the behaviour of the brickwork masonry arches, three finite element modelling techniques were developed: - (a) smeared modelling method (SMM), in whic

&lt;p&gt;Open-spandrel, concrete arch bridges were a common bridge design in the United States during the early 1900s. Many of these bridges are now urban landmarks and listed historic structures that local jurisdictions wish to rehabilitate, including widening the deck to more safely accommodate pedestrians and bicyclists. However, decades of exposure in harsh climates have led to advanced deterioration and reduced load ratings for most extant examples. Further complicating rehabilitation, the height, and arch-reliant behavior of these bridges make construction access, staging, and maintenanc
