This document summarizes a seminar presentation on stress ribbon bridges. It defines a stress ribbon bridge as a tension structure similar to a simple suspension bridge, where the suspension cables are embedded in the deck which follows a catenary arc between supports. This provides stiffness to prevent excessive swaying. Such bridges use pre-tensioned concrete reinforced by steel cables. The document outlines the history and theory behind stress ribbon bridges, describes their construction process, and provides examples of existing stress ribbon bridges along with their advantages and disadvantages.
This document discusses retrofitting of structures. Retrofitting is required when structures are damaged or do not meet current seismic standards. It summarizes various retrofitting techniques such as adding shear walls, infill walls, steel bracing, wall thickening, wing walls, mass reduction, base isolation, and jacketing structural elements. It provides examples of existing retrofitted structures in Gujarat. Retrofitting increases strength and ductility but can reduce space and increase foundation loads. Materials discussed include steel, fiber reinforced polymer, and reinforced concrete.
A stressed ribbon bridge (also stress-ribbon bridge or catenary bridge) is a tension structure (similar in many ways to a simple suspension bridge). The suspension cables are embedded in the deck which follows a catenary arc between supports. Unlike the simple span, the ribbon is stressed in traction, which adds to the stiffness of the structure (simple suspension spans tend to sway and bounce).

This document discusses different systems used for prestressing steel, which are grouped into four categories: mechanical, hydraulic, electrical/thermal, and chemical. It provides details on common tensioning devices within each category. Mechanical devices use weights, pulleys, and screw jacks. Hydraulic jacks ranging from 5-600 tonnes are widely used. Electrical/thermal heating of wires before concreting is another option. Chemical devices use expanding cement. The document also describes several popular prestressing systems including Freyssinet, Gifford Udall, Lee-McCall, Magnel Blaton, BBRV, and Baur Leonhardt.
The document outlines the syllabus for a Structural Design-II course, covering Reinforced Concrete Design (RCC) and Steel Design topics. For RCC Design, it includes loading standards, analysis and design of a G+3 residential/commercial building, and design of water tanks and retaining walls. Steel Design topics are plate girder design, industrial building design, and design of foot over bridges, transmission towers and bridges. The document also discusses specific topics related to foot over bridge design, including when to use truss girders, types of truss girders, their components, applicable loads, and applications of foot bridges.
Suspension bridges have evolved over time through various innovations:
1) Early bridges used ropes and chains that were later replaced by stronger steel cables
2) Advances allowed building foundations underwater and constructing taller towers for longer spans
3) Later bridges had to withstand forces like wind and earthquakes, leading to designs that added stiffness and flexibility
4) Modern construction involves building tower foundations, spinning main cables between anchorages, attaching vertical cables to the deck, and lifting deck sections into place section-by-section.
Stress ribbon bridges are tension structures similar to suspension bridges. They transmit loads via tension in the deck to anchored abutments. Unlike simple spans, the ribbon is stressed in compression, adding stiffness. The first was built in Switzerland in the 1960s. They consist of precast concrete planks supported by bearing tendons and separate prestressing tendons to create the catenary shape. Stress ribbon bridges are economical, aesthetic, and require minimal maintenance.

Proper maintenance plays a vital role in ensuring bridges continue serving their important purpose of transportation.
Prestressed concrete combines high-strength concrete and high-strength steel in an active manner by tensioning steel tendons and holding them against the concrete, putting it into compression. This transforms concrete from a brittle to a more elastic material. It allows for optimal use of each material's properties and better behavior under loads. Prestressed concrete was pioneered in the 1930s and its use has expanded, finding applications in bridges and other structures. Common methods are pretensioning and post-tensioning, using various tendon types, with bonded or unbonded configurations. Tensioning is done using mechanical, hydraulic, electrical or chemical devices.

This document provides information on pile foundations, including when they are used, their functions, types, and construction methods. Pile foundations are used when the soil at shallow depths does not have adequate bearing capacity. The key points are:
- Pile foundations transmit loads from structures to deeper, stronger soil layers through end bearing, friction, or both.
- They are used when shallow soils cannot support heavy loads, have low bearing capacity, or experience issues like high water levels.
- Piles can be made of concrete, timber, steel, or composites, and are either pre-cast or poured in place. Common types include end bearing, friction, compaction, and anchor piles.
This document discusses different types of well foundations used in construction. It describes three main types: open caissons, which have open tops and bottoms; pneumatic caissons, which use air pressure; and box caissons, which are closed at the bottom. It provides details on each type, including advantages and disadvantages. Open caissons can be built to greater depths but inspection of the bottom is not possible. Pneumatic caissons allow work under water but require complex machinery. Box caissons have a lower construction cost but the foundation base cannot be inspected.
This document discusses repairs made to an old building located in Sullia, India that was experiencing structural issues due to water damage.

The document discusses stressed ribbon bridges. Some key points:
1. A stressed ribbon bridge is a tension structure similar to a simple suspension bridge, but with slightly sagging tensioned cables and prestressed deck segments made of reinforced concrete with steel tensioning cables.
2. The superstructure has a precast concrete deck with bearing tendons and prestressing tendons to transfer horizontal forces. The substructure uses abutments to transfer forces from the deck cables to the ground and anchors the bridge using tensioned ground anchors.
3. Advantages of stressed ribbon bridges include being economical, aesthetically pleasing, requiring minimal materials, and allowing for long spans with fewer piers than suspension bridges. Disadvantages
The document summarizes different types of bridges, focusing on suspension bridges. It defines suspension bridges as having cables suspended between towers to support vertical cables carrying the weight of the deck. Suspension bridges allow for the longest spans of any bridge type, from 2,000 to 7,000 feet. The document also discusses structural analysis of suspension bridges, with tension in main cables and compression in towers transferring weight through anchorages. Famous examples given are the Golden Gate Bridge and Akashi-Kaikyo Bridge.
The document provides information about the analysis of a pre-stressed bridge construction project. It discusses what a bridge is, classifications of bridges, materials used, and components involved in bridge construction. It also describes the Danyang–Kunshan Grand Bridge in China, the world's longest rail-road bridge. The document outlines the process of post-tensioning bridges and provides field data from the construction of a bridge across Chhokra nalla on the Saddu-Urkura Road.
The document provides details about three case studies involving cast-in-place concrete construction:
The first case study describes the construction of a bridge over the Iowa River using launching methods to avoid environmental impacts. Segments were precast and then launched into place from behind an abutment.
The second case study discusses the Stoney Trail Bridge in Calgary, the second incrementally launched concrete bridge built in North America. Its 19 segments were cast on one bank and then jacked horizontally into position atop 30m high piers.
The third case study gives structural details of a bridge with a 102m main span constructed using curved, post-tensioned segmental concrete placed by lifting and sliding segments with hydraulic jacks
The document discusses stress ribbon bridges. It begins by explaining that a stress ribbon bridge is a tension structure similar to a suspension bridge, with suspension cables embedded in the deck which follows a catenary arc. Unlike simple suspension bridges, the ribbon is stressed in compression which adds stiffness. Supports provide upward thrusting arcs to change the grade between spans. Stress ribbon bridges are typically reinforced concrete with steel tensioning cables to prevent excessive flexing from vehicle traffic. Fewer than 50 have been built worldwide due to their rare design.
This document discusses reinforced concrete (RC) girder bridges. It begins by defining girder bridges as the simplest bridge type, consisting of horizontal beams supported at each end. RC girder bridges are comprised of deck slabs that vehicles drive on, supported by main girders. There are three main types of girder bridges: box girders, which can handle twisting forces and are suitable for longer spans; concrete girders made of pre-stressed concrete; and I-beam girders made of steel. RC girder bridges must be designed to support dead loads from the structure itself, live loads from traffic, and dynamic loads from wind and weather.

The beam bridge: Beam and slab with ladder decks
This form of bridges comprises of slab which sits on top of steel I-beams. This form is mostly used for mid span highway bridge which is where our required bridge falls in.
Slab in this system is supported on tow main girders with a spacing of about 3.5m and it lies longitudinally between the girders as per the below diagram.

The bridge will use plate girders giving us a scope to vary the flange and web sizes to fit and suit the bridge load carrying capabilities. In the design process, ability of the bridge to carry the maximum load expected and the loading at the various stages of construction will guide on the proportion of girders that is their depth, width of tension and compression flanges and web thickness.
The girders are erected firmly on the ground and have stud connectors welded on the top flange to provide composite action between the slab and girder. The number of studs and spacing vary depending on expected level of shear flow between steel girder and concrete slab.
The girders rest on bearings fastened to the bottom flange. The girders are stiffened to carry the bearing loads at these points. Some cases apply bracing between the girders at support to carry lateral forces and provide torsional restraint.
Bridge description
· The bridge will have a span of 50m.
· The bridge will be raised to a height of 10m on both sides to be in level with the existing highway. The girders will have constant height.
· The bridge cross section will have the reinforced concrete slab sitting on top of two main abutment substructures and an extra substructure which will be on the central reservation. The main substructure will be located at the embarkment of the road.
Construction sequence
Abutment substructure construction
Girder construction
The bridge will consist of two main girder I beams. The girders will be of the same height. To make the I-beam, steel plates will be used. The steel plate is cut into the required sizes for the bottom flange and top flange and for the web. The cut pieces are then fillet welded into the I-section. This is done either by machine manual assembling in jig or through improved pressing machine .

The Lupu Bridge in Shanghai, China is a steel box section tied arch bridge with a main span of 550m, making it the largest arch bridge in the world when it was completed. A tied arch bridge design was used because the ground conditions on either side of the river were unsuitable for the large forces from a normal arch bridge. The bridge was analyzed using structural analysis software to determine member forces and deformations under load. The bridge is an impressive engineering feat that helped advance Chinese bridge engineering.
Common bridge components include the deck, which provides the roadway surface; girders or trusses, which support the deck; and substructure elements like piers and abutments that support the superstructure. Selection of the optimal bridge type depends on factors like site conditions, functional needs, aesthetics, cost, and construction/maintenance considerations. Bridges are classified based on material, usage, span, and structural arrangement. Long-span bridges include cable-stayed and suspension bridges, while girder and arch bridges are more common for shorter spans.
This document provides an overview of bridge engineering, including definitions of bridges, classifications of bridges by material, usage, span, structural form and arrangement. It discusses the key factors considered in deciding bridge types, such as site geometry, subsurface conditions, functional requirements, aesthetics, economics, construction/erection, and legal/regulatory considerations. The distinctive features of common bridge types like girder, arch, truss, suspension and cable-stayed bridges are also summarized.

A bridge is the key element in a transportation system; it controls both the volume and weight of the traffic. Balance must be achieved between handling future traffic volume and loads and the cost of heavier and wider bridge structure. Economic Analysis and comparisons against competing alternatives is required as Bridges are the most expensive part of a road transportation network. Monetized & Non-Monetized Benefits that will accrue like time savings to road users, benefits to business activities (and to the economy in general) and salvage value benefits like Right-of-Way and substructure use need to be assessed as well.

Rail transport is one of the important modes of transport in India. Now a days we
see that there are railways that are present for the long as well as short distance
travelling which makes the life of the people easier. When compared to other
means of transport, a railway is the cheapest means of transport. The maintenance
of the railway database also plays a major role in the smooth running of this
system. The Online Train Ticket Management System will help in reserving the
tickets of the railways to travel from a particular source to the destination.

2. • A stressed ribbon bridge (also Catenary Bridge) is a
tension structure (similar in many ways to a simple
suspension bridge). The suspension cables are embedded
in the deck which follows a catenary arc between
supports. Unlike the simple span the ribbon is stressed in
compression, which adds to the stiffness of the structure
(simple suspension spans tend to sway and bounce).
• Such bridges are typically made from concrete reinforced
by steel tensioning cables. Where such bridges carry
vehicle traffic a certain degree of stiffness is required to
prevent excessive flexure of the structure, obtained by
stressing the concrete in compression.
3. Finsterwalder’s stress ribbon
bridge theory.
Stress Ribbon Bridge uses the theory of a catenary
transmitting loads via tension in the deck to abutments which
are anchored to the ground. This concept was first introduced
by a German engineer Ulrich Finsterwalder. The first stress
ribbon bridge was constructed in Switzerland in the 1960s. The
new bridge at Lake Hodges is the sixth ribbon bridge in North
America, with three equal spans of 330 feet is the longest of
this type.
The stress ribbon bridge combines a suspended concave span
and a supported convex span. The concave span utilizes a
radius of about 8200 ft. while the convex span, depending on
the design speed of the bridge, utilizes an approximate radius
of 9800 ft (1965).
7. Supports:
• Cables are pre-tensioned by anchoring into support structure, hence this
region is highly stressed.
• Performance may be improved by construction of:
i) flexible saddle
ii) parabolic haunch
iii) intermediate arch support
Stressed cables
8. Simple support with constant section
Flexible saddle arrangement at support
Parabolic hunch arrangement at support
Stress ribbon supported by arch
9. Deck:
• Might be pre-fabricated or cast in-situ
• Slender
• Integrated with end and intermediate supporting
construction so as to work as a composite structure.
Deck of Bridge
12. The construction of the bridge is relatively straight forward. The abutments and
piers are built first. Next the bearing cables were stretched from abutment to
abutment and draped over steel saddles that rested atop the piers. The bearing
tendons generally support the structure during construction, and only rarely is
additional false work used. Once the bearing cables were tensioned to the
specified design force, precast panels were suspended via support rods located
at the four corners of each panel. At this point the bridge sagged into its
catenary shape.
The next step was to place post tensioning ducts in the bridge. The ducts were
placed directly above the bearing cables and support rods, which are all located
in two longitudinal troughs that run the length of the bridge. After the ducts
were in place, the cast-in place concrete was placed in the longitudinal troughs
in small transverse closure joints. Concrete is poured in the joints between the
planks and allowed to harden before the final tensioning is carried out.
Retarding admixtures may be used in the concrete mix to allow all the concrete
to be placed before hardening occurs. Once the final tension has been jacked
into the tendons and the deflected shape is verified, the ducts containing the
tendons are grouted.
After allowing the cast in place concrete to cure and achieve its full strength, the
bridge was post tensioned. The post tensioning lifts each span, closes the gap
between the panels, puts the entire bridge in to compression and transforms
the bridge in to continuous ribbon of prestressed concrete.
15. Basic Stage:
I. Static analysis is done at this stage.
II. After sufficient hardening of joints, post tensioning is done by pre-stressing
tendons.
III. Effect of dead load, creep, shrinkage, temperature and pre-stressing are
determined.
IV. Shape at this stage determines the final sag in the bridge.
17. Types
These can be of following types:
(1)
Concrete or steel columns as intermediate supports
18. Advantages:
• Minimum environmental and visual impact
• Can be erected without falsework or shoring
• Minimum long-term maintenance is required
• Are highly desirable at place as shown below:
Advantages and disadvantages
19. Disadvantages:
• Large horizontal forces at the end and intermediate which
determines economy of bridge.
Remedy- i) construction of flexible member close to
supports
ii) widening of deck at the ends
iii) having an arch shaped intermediate support
• Danger of overturning and oscillations due to high span to
width ratio.
Remedy- i) increasing sag
ii) proper dynamic analysis
20. CASE STUDY
Location: Over Lake Hodges, San Diego, USA
Length: 3 spans of 330 feet
This is the world’s longest stress ribbon bridge. Earlier, there was
only a 9 mile road connecting the north and south sides of the lake.
Bicyclists and pedestrians had to use the shoulder for travelling to
and fro from work. Now this elegant structure keeps pedestrians
and bicyclists of the freeway without exacting a toll on the
environment or visual landscape.
The firm behind this evaluated a broad range of bridge types that
might be viable for this location. They included the pre-fabricated
steel truss design, various concrete girder alternatives, a laminated
timber bridge in which glue is used for lamination (“glulam”) and
such long-span alternatives as cable-stayed and suspension bridges.
The steel ribbon concept was also considered. Steel truss, concrete
and glulam have bulky super structure and long span concepts were
avoided due to the very high towers.
21. It was quite clear that the chosen bridge type had to have the
following features:-
· Minimum environmental effects.
· A long span with a minimum number of piers in the lake.
· An ability to be constructed above water without false-work.
· A visual effect so minimal that the structure would blend into the
landscape.
· The design should work well in both dry and wet conditions.
After considering the above options, aesthetically and functionally
stress ribbon design was the perfect choice.

24. CONCLUSION
Stress ribbon bridges are a versatile form of bridge, the adaptable form of
structure is applicable to a variety of requirements.
The slender decks are visually pleasing and have a visual impact on
surroundings giving a light aesthetic impression.
Post tensioned concrete minimizes cracking and assures durability. Bearings
and expansion joints are rarely required minimizing maintenance and
inspections.
Erection using pre-cast segments does not depend on particular site
condition and permits labour saving erection and a short time to delivery.
Using bearing tendons can eliminate the need for site form work and large
plant, contributing to fast construction programmes and preservation of the
environments.
There is a wide range of different topographies and soil conditions found and
a number of areas which require aesthetic yet cost effective pedestrian
bridges to be built:
Stress ribbon bridges could provide elegant solutions to these challenges.
