Most suitable bridge forms
· Beam bridge
· Arch bridge
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.
Figure 1
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 document provides information on the construction and erection of bridge elements such as prestressed concrete girders and deck slabs. It discusses casting of bridge girders using steel molds, various launching methods for erecting girders including using launching girders, and the balanced cantilever method of construction where bridge segments are constructed in a balanced manner from each pier until the two halves are joined. It also covers different types of bridge decks and systems used for structural steel girder bridges.
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.
The document discusses various methods for constructing and erecting bridge elements. It describes the construction of prestressed concrete girders including casting them on site and using precast panels. Common bridge girder erection methods are also summarized, such as using launching girders to shift girders into place span by span. Balanced cantilever construction is explained as building out cantilever segments from each pier until the two halves meet in the middle.
The document discusses precast concrete construction. It defines precast concrete as concrete that is cast in reusable molds and cured in a controlled environment off-site before being transported to the construction site. Benefits of precast construction include better quality control during curing, less weather dependence, faster construction time, and lower costs. Examples of precast concrete applications include buildings, bridges, retaining walls, and transportation products. The document also discusses design considerations, formwork, casting, handling, transportation and erection of precast concrete elements.
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 methods of prestressing concrete, including pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before concrete is poured around them. Post-tensioning involves stressing steel tendons inserted into voids in cured concrete using jacks. Both methods put the concrete in compression and improve its tensile strength. Common applications include building floors/roofs, bridges, and parking structures.
This document discusses different methods of prestressing concrete, including pretensioning and post-tensioning. Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before placing concrete around them, while post-tensioning involves stressing tendons after the concrete has cured using hydraulic jacks. Post-tensioning allows for longer spans, thinner slabs, and more architectural freedom compared to conventional reinforced concrete or pretensioned concrete. Common applications of post-tensioning include parking structures, bridges, and building floors and roofs.
The document summarizes the planning, analysis, and design of a prestressed concrete bridge. It includes the design of various components like the deck slab, beams, piers, footings, and pile foundations. The bridge is a single span of 30 meters made of M40-M45 grade concrete and high strength steel tendons. The design considers aspects like dead and live loads, shear forces, bending moments, reinforcement requirements, and stress limits to construct the different elements of the prestressed concrete bridge according to code specifications.

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.
Precast concrete is produced by casting concrete in reusable molds away from the construction site. This allows for mass production of identical components like beams, floors, and walls in a controlled environment. When complete, the precast components are transported and lifted into place at the construction site. Using precast concrete can speed up construction time and reduce costs compared to traditional cast-in-place concrete through economies of scale in production.
The document provides information on methods of prestressing in concrete, including pretensioning and post-tensioning. It discusses:
- Pretensioning involves stressing steel tendons before the concrete is cast around them.
- Post-tensioning involves stressing steel tendons after the concrete has cured using jacks, then grouting the voids.
- Both methods put the concrete in compression and increase its strength and durability compared to conventional reinforced concrete.

- Both methods put the concrete in compression and increase its strength and durability compared to conventional reinforced concrete.
Pre-stressed concrete uses tensioned steel cables or rods to put concrete members under compression and increase their strength. It allows for longer spans than reinforced concrete. There are three methods: pre-tensioned concrete uses tensioned tendons before pouring concrete; bonded post-tensioned concrete uses tendons tensioned after pouring; unbonded post-tensioned concrete uses individually coated tendons without bonding to the concrete. Prestressed concrete has advantages like less cracking and material efficiency but also disadvantages like higher costs.
Retrofitting of Bridge with Voided Slab to raise the Deck LevelIRJET Journal
The document discusses retrofitting an existing bridge by casting a voided slab over the existing deck slab. A voided slab is lighter than a solid slab and can reduce the self-weight and cost of the structure. Polystyrene boxes are placed on the deck slab and filled with concrete to form voids above. This allows increasing the road level without overloading the bridge girders. The voided slab is modeled in STAAD Pro to analyze bending moments and check the design is adequate. The voided slab reduces the weight and cost of construction compared to a solid slab.
Construction Of A Viaduct/Bridge: An OverviewSourav Goswami
This document is a submission by Sourav Goswami describing his 7-day internship project focused on the construction of a metro rail bridge. The project was conducted under Rail Vikas Nigam Limited and Gammon India Limited. Sourav thanks the project guides and staff who provided guidance and knowledge about bridge construction activities including piling, pile caps, piers, bearings and segments.
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.
Experimental Investigation on Steel Concrete Composite Floor SlabIRJET Journal
This document summarizes an experimental investigation on steel-concrete composite floor slabs. Cold-formed steel decking with trapezoidal profiles was used to construct composite floor slabs with concrete. Shear connectors in the form of stud bolts connected the steel decking to the concrete. Three specimens were tested - an RCC slab, a composite slab, and a composite truss. The composite truss was fabricated from steel and connected to the decking and concrete with shear connectors. All specimens were tested for load carrying capacity. The composite truss performed comparably to the RCC slab and was found to effectively transfer loads through composite action between the steel and concrete components.

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.
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).

1. Box girder bridges have two key advantages over plate girder bridges: they possess torsional stiffness and can have much wider flanges.
2. For medium span bridges between 45-100 meters, box girder bridges offer an attractive form of construction as they maintain simplicity while allowing larger span-to-depth ratios compared to plate girders.
3. Advances in welding and cutting techniques have expanded the structural possibilities for box girders, allowing for more economical designs of large welded units.

IRJET- Integral Abutment Bridge- A Review and Comparison of the Integral Brid...IRJET Journal
This document provides an overview and comparison of integral abutment bridges and conventional bridges. It defines integral abutment bridges as jointless and bearingless structures where the superstructure is monolithically connected to the abutments, eliminating joints and bearings. This allows stresses from thermal expansion to be transferred to the substructure through a flexible connection. The document discusses the different types of integral abutment bridges based on the abutment detail, including frame abutments, bank pad abutments, flexible support abutments, and semi-integral end screen abutments. It then reviews several research papers on topics like thermally induced soil-structure interaction in integral bridges. In conclusion, integral abutment bridges
Reinforced concrete columns and beams are important structural elements that carry compressive and bending loads respectively. Columns can be categorized as short or long based on their height-width ratio and as spiral or tied columns based on their shape. Beams are classified based on their supports as simply supported, fixed, continuous, or cantilever beams. The construction of RCC columns and beams involves laying reinforcement, forming the structure, and pouring concrete to create these load-bearing elements.
Running head 2.3 - CASE ANALYSIS FUNDING THE RAILROADS 1 .docxtoddr4
The document discusses two alternatives for funding the construction of the transcontinental railroad in the 19th century: 1) having the government abstain from funding and relying solely on private investment, or 2) having the government fund only one or two railroad lines to bid on and build based on public demand. While private funding alone would have built the railroad eventually, it would have taken much longer. Alternative 2 is presented as superior because it would satisfy public need for the railroad more quickly while also reducing the risk of companies misusing public funds.

YOUTH IN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM 2
Introduction
Biblical point of view relies on the scriptures of God. The bible is a Christian holy book that gives the moral compass for what Christians engage in, whether in action or utterances. Through modern technologies and other methods, the secularized view of the criminal justice system in America has been influenced by the biblical concept.
Gaps and Omissions
Comprehending juvenile criminal justice, according to the biblical worldview, is to understand the leading cause of crime and human iniquities. Sin is a component of a biblical worldview. All crimes are treated as a sin, but not all sins are viewed as crimes. The juvenile criminal justice system would not exist if there were no crimes (Laurence, 2012). According to sinful human nature, crime always exists; hence the juvenile criminal justice system should be established to help in curbing crime.
The literature is mainly focused on the need to have a separate criminal justice system for juveniles but does not justify the punishment that juveniles ought to receive for crimes they commit. The literature gives detailed views on the topic, but it fails to conclusively articulate what should be done to reprimand crimes committed by youth. The bible is the book of Deuteronomy chapter 16:19 “do not pervert justice or show partiality ...” God is expecting impartiality those who serve distributive justice regardless of age, social status, or gender.
The biblical aim of justice is restoration, as illustrated in the stories such as Jacob and Esau. Human beings are equal in the eyes of the lord, meaning that justice has to be severed equally, although the literature focuses on separate justice for juveniles and adults. God created all human beings with equal value, but the literature seems to favor and try to treat juveniles who have committed similar crimes with adults differently. The literature does not mention that committing crimes against other people is committing a crime against God’s greatest creation.
Biblical Integration
Today youth are facing various risks of being involved in many forms of crimes that end up exposing them to the criminal justice system. Therefore, Christian adults are called upon to guide and bring significant transformation in the lives of the youth. Christians are called upon by God to exhibit unconditional love for juveniles. The church should advocate for fairness and justice for the young. Although some youth have a criminal record, the juvenile justice system's main goal should be to rehabilitate them. These youth can learn and grow from their mistakes. For Christians to create a just society, they should always restore a convicted offender back to society so that they can be integrat.

Seminar in Security Management (2XXX)
Vulnerability Assessment: Era Church, City, State
Site Selection and Rationale
This vulnerability assessment was conducted at Era Church (“Era”), 429 State Street, City, State 90909, on the dates of September 25 - 28, 2017, and was followed up with subsequent interviews of relevant church personnel. The site was chosen for multiple reasons including the potential for a violent incident such as a mass shooting, and the potential for fraud or other financial crime. A vulnerability is defined as “weakness[ ] or gap[ ] in a security program that can be exploited by threats to gain unauthorized access to an asset” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). Threats are events or persons, such as a natural disaster, fire, criminal act, or terrorist incident, that can exploit a vulnerability (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). A vulnerability assessment “evaluates all opportunities that may be exploited by a threat” and through a detailed process identifies areas where vulnerabilities can be mitigated to lower the risk (DiMarino, 2017). Risk is defined as “the potential for loss, damage or destruction of an asset as a result of a threat exploiting a vulnerability” (Threat Analysis Group, 2017). The vulnerability assessment at Era Church covers multiple areas to include physical, operational, technological, and financial vulnerabilities. While Era has taken measures to mitigate vulnerabilities, there are some recommendations in each area that could further mitigate risk.
Religion is a contentious and polarizing topic in the United States, which makes churches prime targets for groups or individuals who want to make a statement. Perhaps the most infamous church shooting in recent memory is when white supremacist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine African-American church members of Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, SC, on June 17, 2015 (Blinder & Sack, 2017). Roof brought a .45-caliber semiautomatic handgun into the church in a waist pouch, and attended the Bible study for approximately 40 minutes before he shot and killed the members using seven magazines and over 70 rounds (Blinder & Sack, 2017). This incident is just one of many violent incidents at places of worship. There is no sure-fire way to completely avoid incidents such as this shooting, but there are steps that can be taken to help minimize or avoid a large-scale incident.
In addition to the threat of violence, churches are also prime targets for fraud, both from internal and external threats. For instance, the Center for the Study of Global Christianity reports that in 2014 churches lost an estimated $39 billion to internal financial fraud (Thomason, 2016). Theft and embezzlement of church funds are two significant risks faced by faith-based institutions. (Thomason, 2016). In addition to an ins.

Author Note
The author note is typically used in manuscripts that will be submitted for publication. The author note may provide additional information regarding the affiliations of the authors. It is also used to acknowledge those who contributed to the study, but not at the level of authorship. Lastly, the author note typically includes contact information for at least one author (see APA guide p. 24, section 2.03 & sample paper on p. 41.)
Remember to format the author note using block format (no indents, left or right justification).
Abstract
The abstract is a brief (usually 100-150 words) summary of your experiment. What was your question? What did you do? What did you find? What is your conclusion/interpretation? Try taking the lead sentence or two (but not word-for-word) from your introduction, results and discussion and integrate them into your abstract. Additionally, add a sentence or two describing your procedure, especially if it differs from those typically used to study the phenomenon.
The abstract is page two. Nothing goes on this page except the abstract. Center the word "Abstract" on the page and format in bold-face type. Do not put the title of your paper on this page. Begin typing the abstract on the line directly below the heading.
Notice that the abstract is not indented, and is written in block format. It is also double-spaced. Typically, the abstract is one paragraph in length.
Keywords: type a few words (or phrases) that would be useful if someone was searching for a study similar to this one. For example, if you studied reaction time in a card sorting task your key words might be “card sorting,” “response time” and decision making. (Note: the word “keyword” is italicized and indented.)
Title
On the third page, you typically begin your introduction. Notice that the word "INTRODUCTION" does not appear at the top of the page as many of the other headings do. The title used is the same one that appears on the cover page.
The first paragraph should contain a description of the phenomena that you are studying. Make a general statement about the phenomenon and how it is typically measured. Also, talk about how one might manipulate or influence the outcome (i.e, what variables could potentially influence the results).
Subsequent research should describe previous research that examined the phenomena. These studies serve to provide the rationale for your study. What did the researchers do? What did they find? What did they conclude?
Do this for each study cited. Typically, one or more paragraphs are necessary to explain each study. Try to make the transition smooth from one paragraph to the next. Use transition words (see SIGNAL WORDS hand.

Virtual organizations refer to organizations whose employees are geographically spread and connect through phone, internet or email (Hebert, 2017). The concept of a virtual organization utilizes technology from a management perspective in which employees engage in different tasks to achieve the organization’s objectives. There are various benefits associated with virtual organizations. First, the owner of the business incurs lower overhead costs because a virtual organization needs no office space, furniture or paying for utilities (Shamsuzzoha & Helo, 2017). For example, an online education business only needs tutors and students. Secondly, employees are more satisfied due to the comfort of working from their own houses, for instance, tutors in a virtual institution can lecture students at the comfort of their homes. Lastly, the owner of the business can expand the business without having to worry about moving the many employees to a larger office.
However, a virtual organization is prone to many risks that hinder its effectiveness in terms of achieving its objectives. One of the risks is lack of cohesiveness in the organization. This is brought by the fact that the employees are spread and thus difficult to call for an emergency meeting in case an urgent need arises (Wohlers & Hertel, 2017). Secondly, there is a risk to reputation for customers may not perceive a virtual organization as a real company. Lastly, lack of social interaction discourages teamwork. Despite all these, there are various opportunities associated with virtual organizations such as the opportunity to reach the vast majority of the customers as well as an opportunity to change the strategy used by the business easily and for less cost.

Abstract
Abstracts are research tools that can help you readers determine if the scope of your article/essay will help them in their own research. In APA, abstracts are typically 150-250 words in length and provide an evaluative summary of the essay to follow. The personal opinion of the author is strictly prohibited in abstracts. Unlike a body paragraph, the first line of an abstract is not tabbed-in. For many student essays, especially in lower-numbers courses, an abstract will not be required; still, it is good to practice this skill.
Title of Essay
In APA style, the introduction of the essay should begin here, followed by the body paragraphs. APA is typically a more formal style than most students are accustomed to using in a writing course. For the purposes of this course, the level of formality should be based on the assignment. For example: APA asks that students always write in third person (avoiding words such as I, me, we, our(s), you, your(s), etc). Certain rhetorical modes, however, don’t cater well to third person (narrative and reflection writing are two such examples). In these situations, first person (I, me, we, our(s)) may be, and should be employed; second person (you, your(s)) should be avoided in all academic writing unless an essay is specifically designed to relay instructions (there are few assignments that will employ second person).
Like any essay, students should make sure their essays are formatted with one inch margins, with their text exclusively in Times New Roman 12-point font, and students should double space their lines. This document can be downloaded and used as a template wherein students may simply replace names, titles, dates, and so on with their own information.
The final page of this document will demonstrate a References page. If a student uses information from any source, that source must be identified within the text and listed on a References page. These citations should be listed in alphabetical order and, opposite to the way a normal paragraph works, the first line should be flush left and each following line should be tabbed in. Though there is really no substitute for a good APA Style Manual, students can refer to a citation generator such as www.citationmachine.net to ensure proper formatting. Any further questions should be directed to the instructor of the course.

On-Boarding
Felicia Griffin
Professor Keith Lipscomb
BUS 325: Global Human Resource Management
February 13, 2019
Onboarding process is a usual process in the recent past in many business organizations. Onboarding seeks to ensure that new employees are easily embedded into the systems as fast as possible. New employees can adjust much more comfortable when they have better employees to ease them in. It helps new employee recruits to adjust to the social and performances. It is mainly aimed at maximizing success. Various vital steps need to be followed in ensuring that new recruits are effectively realigned into the organizational structure.
This is an essential procedure in organizational performances it ensures that new recruits take the shortest time possible to settle and establish better relations with other employees. It is the best way that a business organization can ensure that new recruits concentrate on the primary purpose of the organization rather than focus on how they can settle in their new working environment and social environment.
The onboarding process is an exceptionally chronological process where a beginner follows a given order of events in the organization. The first step is to study the new employee characteristics. It involves understanding their character and their ability to be integrated into the company operations smoothly. This process is very significant because the company can know quite earlier the behavioral adjustment that a given new employee can make to become successful.
The next step in the process is the deployment of newcomer tactics. Within this stage, the new employee develops a relationship with the existing employees within the organization to have a conducive business environment. The next step in the onboarding process is the readjustment of new employee tactics and behavior to conform to organizational culture and be in a position to work effectively towards the achievement of the set organizational goals.
One of the most critical elements of onboarding in a global environment is studying and understanding the characteristics of the new hire to be in a position to know how easy the new recruit will be able to adjust to the organizational culture and its operations. Another vital element in onboarding is the creation of an understanding between new recruits and the already existing employees within the organization to formulate a formidable team that can propel the organization to new heights.

Abstract
This paper will discuss psychology and Christianity: Two disciplines that seem to be difficult subjects when discussing an integrated approach. There are some people who believe that, psychology has become one completely different subject than Christianity and both at times have lost all connection with the other. In addition, there are integrative models of disciplinary that think psychology is strictly a science and Christianity is solely based on faith and religion and the two cannot be integrated together. After further review of evidence, it seems that the integration approach for both disciplines are given by God and that they both should be integrated to create a more understanding of humanity. The focus of this paper is to describe the Allies” model and how it relates to integrating two disciplines; psychology and Christian faith. In addition, the strengths and limitations of the Allies model will be discussed. Also included are definitions of both subjects and views on different approaches towards this matter. Scriptures will be added that correspond with this approach, as well as, several factors that lead to the integration process of both disciplines. After further studies of the evidence of various disciplines, it seems like the “Allies” model best fits the relationship between psychology method and Christianity.
Integration between Christian faith and Psychology
Webster dictionary states that psychology is, “The science of mind and behavior and the study of mind and behavior in relation to a particular field of knowledge or activity” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). Whereas, Christianity is defined, “A religion based on the person and teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, or its beliefs and practices” (Merriam-Webster, 2017). After the evidence from various disciplines of study, it seems that a person’s foundation is based on what we see and how we know. This leads a person to believe that it is crucial for Christian counseling to use both psychology and Christianity. There are several different methods that psychological theory and science use to gain knowledge. These are: “Logic,” “Empiricism,” “Revelation,” and “Hermeneutic” (Entwistle, 2015. P. 97). Whereas, experiments in psychology use deductive logic when testing a hypothesis. Inductive reasoning uses experiments that show a correlation by manipulating the variables. For instance, we use science to find out if a statement is true or false. An idea is a suggestion upon which an argument is based or from which a conclusion is drawn. For.

LETTER OF ADVICE 2
Dear Cassy and Jeremy,
Congratulations on your recent engagement. It’s such a great time in your life. My wife
and I have been married almost 8 years. I also just took a class on interpersonal communications
and would love to share with you some of what I learned in addition to some personal
experiences.2 Knowing how your partner communicates and uses verbal and non-verbal
communication is important in a relationship and will help in reducing miscommunications.
Know going in to your marriage that there will be conflict but learning how to manage or resolve
those conflicts will help in a successful marriage. I know you both love each other very much
and that will help get you through those difficult times.3
Interpersonal Relationships4
Interpersonal relationships are part of our everyday life. Getting married forms one of
the most important interpersonal relationships you will ever have. But with any relationship there
are barriers to effectively maintain those interactions. Our self-concept is developed through our
interpersonal relationships and changes over time. Emotional intelligence also has a great impact
on how effective a relationship will be. The amount an individual discloses of themselves in a
relationship can vary depending on the type of relationship and can have both negative and
positive effects. Interpersonal conflict is probably one of the most challenging aspects of a
relationship and managing these conflicts effectively is important to the relationship’s wellbeing.

Bridge design
Most suitable bridge forms
· Beam bridge
· Arch bridge
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.
Figure 1
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
5. 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 specially made for the job. And later welded on both
sides to make the weld continuous. This form an inverted T
repeating the process with the second flange now produces the
I-girder.
To increase load carrying capacity of the I-section vertical
stiffeners are added to the web (Vayas, & Iliopoulos 2013).
They may consist of plate cut of equal or smaller thickness
which is controlled by making the web of thicker. The girders
are painted except the final coat which is done at the site after
erection. On the site the substructure abutment are made ready
and given time to heal before taking the girders. The girder
sections are joined as per the length of the bridge at the site
splice positions. Cranes are used to place the girder on the
constructed sub structure. To join two girders, bolted splices
using cover plates placed on both sides of the flange to overlap
the ends of both girders are used.
A frame work made of glass reinforced plastic panels is made to
support concrete. The glass reinforce plastics forms the
formwork where the concrete is put. To strengthen it girders and
bracers are made adequate and enough to carry the weight of
wet concrete. Additionally, temporary cross bracing can be
6. provided in midspan areas to support the girders thus stabilizing
the compression flange. The temporary bracing is later removed
once the concrete has hardened.
The bridge floor is done as per the design drawing with the
reinforcements. The sizes of bar, their cutting length hooks and
bents should be maintained. Once the reinforcements are
prepared they are placed in their respective positions as per the
specified spacing and concrete cover. Binding wires are used to
tie shrinkage and distribution reinforcements.
The concrete cover and spacing for floor slabs can be
maintained by introducing spacers and bars supporters. Wires
are used to tie main reinforcement, shrinkage and temperature
reinforcement (distribution reinforcement). Concrete is then
poured on the prepared reinforcement starting from one end and
ensuring it is not piled at one point but continuously poured.
During concrete pouring presence of cracks, excessive
deflections maintenance of level and plumbing is done.
Vibrations are used to compact the concrete into molds within
the forms and around the embedded items and reinforcements
and also eliminate stone pockets, entrapped air and honeycombs
(Bot, 2003). The slab is then cured.
Construction loads
During design of the bridge some loads should be considered.
These include: deck formwork and brackets, walkways,
handrails, construction live loads, wind loads on the structure
and equipment in use.
The construction equipment used include power screed used for
concrete deck placements, bridge mounted erections systems,
bridge support concrete delivery systems. The anticipated loads
for our bridge will be determined based on member sizes, site
location.
The bridge girder should be capable to transmit wind loading
during construction to the support location. Alternative to these
permanent lateral bracing systems should be placed to resist this
load. The magnitude of wind loading should be determined
7. using site data. The wind loads that include friction velocity
must be determined, friction length, and wind velocity based on
the bridge location and height of the structure.
The site the bridge is to be build the wind load is 1kN/. Bridge
attachments should be determined and evaluated and included in
dead load effects. Example of temporary attachments include:
temporary scaffoldings suspended form the bridge, temporary
safety lines and supports, overhanging brackets temporary hand
rails and form work.
Permanent attachment includes: inspection walkways and
handrails and utilities. All loads combinations must be
evaluated to capture all critical conditions during the bridge
construction.
Bracers
Main girder requires bracing to avoid buckling. Restraint at in-
service stage is provided by knee braces from the cross girder to
the bottom of the web. The knee braces often poise challenge of
fabricating due to their high cost. Bracing the cross girder is
more economical than increasing flange thickness. This can be
achieved by pairing the cross girder with channel bracing at
midspan.
Stiffener provision
Stiffeners help to limit dimension of the web panel to control
web buckling, they are also used at support positions and to
form connections at positions of cross girder or bracing (Earls
and Shah, 2002). Transverse web stiffeners are commonly used.
The transverse web stiffeners are provided at the position of
each cross girder.
At the support the web stiffeners used are known as bearing
stiffeners. They are also provided at positions of jacking for
bearing replacements. Example as in the picture below.
Bearing stiffeners are usually thicker than intermediate web
stiffeners. This is because they act against additional lateral
8. forces transmitted to the supports. They are 30mm to 50mm
thick.
Bridge articulation
Bridge is designed to deal with movements that arise from
temperature, wind, traffic loadings and self-weight. Bearings
are used to connect the bridge and its supports, they help
accommodate movements arising from these effects.
Method of bridge construction.
This includes design of the steel work. Construction sequence
must be included in the design including erection of the steel
work and concreting of the deck.
The bridge is erected in one of the following ways:
· Erection by use of crane
· Launching
· Sliding
· Rolling
· Lifting large preassembled sections.
Erection by use of crane is the most convenient, once the
supports have been erected and cured, the girders are lifted with
cranes from the ground onto the bridge substructure. The
girders can be placed singly for full span after they have been
joined.
The drawing below shows girder erection by crane.
Advantages of the beam and slab with ladder decks.
· High strength to weight ratio- steel exhibit less weight in
relation to its strength. This has great impact on substructure
and foundation cost which is beneficial. In places with lift and
swing bridges light weight of girders reduces size of counter
weight which means reduced plant costs. It also results in
girders with reduced depths which solve the problem of head
clearances and minimizing length and height of approach ramps.
· Speed of erection- the light weight of steel makes their
workability easy and in conditions of bad weather the girders
can be erected with minimal time and joined accordingly. This
9. reduced disruption caused to roads.
· Versatility- during working with steel a number of method and
sequences are available in which the installation job can be
done. This makes contractor work easy and is able to use the
cheapest and safest as he uses machines available. The
contractor is able to choose the erection sequence and
construction programme that best suites his timeline and
machines. This is seen by available ways the main girder can be
installed such as by use of cranes, slide-in techniques or by use
of transporters (Yabuki, Lebegue, Gual, Shitani, and Zhantao,
2006).
· Workability of steel-steel can be modified to attain different
shapes and sizes. Steel have high surface quality which allows
attention to details. This makes it possible to shape it in ways
to increase aesthetic and appearance of the bridge, modern
fabrication methods facilitate curvature in both plan and
elevation. Painting introduce colour and contrast to the bridge
which can be repainted to refresh it or change appearance.
· Steel durability-steels are mostly affected by rusting. With
ability to galvanize the steel and paint the steel and also
reinforce the steel the structures are expected to have a lifespan
of over 100 years. The structure need not to be overloaded.
They should be well designed to ensure that drainage is good.
The girders are exposed and visible making it easy to inspect
and accessible. Any sign of deterioration can be detected and
addressed by repainting, welding or strengthening it. Most
structures are designed with provision of access platforms and
travelling gantries for ease of maintenance and inspections.
· Durability -Steel bridges now have a proven life span
extending to well over 100 years. Indeed, the life of a steel
bridge that is carefully designed, properly built, well
maintained and not seriously overloaded is indefinitely long.
· Modification demolition and repair- during bridge design
provision for modification such as widening to accommodate
extra lanes is possible. In bridge building detachable structures
are used and are either welded or bolted. This means that when
10. the bridge is no longer needed the girders can be detached into
manageable sizes and recycled which is beneficial in terms of
sustainability. In case of a section of the bridge worn out it is
easy to detach that section and replace or repair it.
Disadvantages of the beam and slab with ladder deck
· Maintenance cost of the structure is high. This is because once
steel is repaired it has to be repainted and also anticorrosion
applications has to be done on the part worked on. Some
common examples of steel preparations include: dry abrasive
blasting, water blasting, coal tar coating, painting and alloying.
These protecting methods are expensive and also restricted by
practical limitations such as accessibility, location and time in
case of maintaining an already erected member (Gordon, and
May 2007).
· Steel is not fire proof and in incidences of fire the structure is
damaged. Exposing steel to high temperatures it loses its
properties. Steel structures strength reduces at high
temperatures incase of fire. Heat conductivity of steel is high
which makes it contribute in spreading the fire. Fireproof
coating of steel involves expanded mineral coating, concrete
and intumescent materials. Gypsum blocks and clay tiles may be
used to protect steel from heat. These enclosures are expensive
and require regular maintenance.
· Buckling-increase in the length of steel in use increases the
chances of buckling of the steel, high temperatures also
weakens the steel making it susceptible to buckling.
· Fatigue and fracture- during loading of the steel structure,
large variations in tensile strength expose steel to excessive
tension. This reduces the overall strength of the structure
making it susceptible to brittle fracture when its limit is
exceeded. This also makes the steel susceptible to buckling. To
counter this, steel needs to be stiffened. Steel columns are
added to counter balance which makes the structure very
expensive to maintain.
· The bridge can be susceptible to sagging- the bridge has no
11. weight transfer occurring on support structure of the beam, this
means heavy weight being applied at a specific point repeatedly
can lead to sagging at that point. This can lead to bridge
collapsing with time if no support and maintenance is carried
out.
· The bridge weakens as it gets old
The weight from the deck leads to wear and tear of the bridge
support.
· Beam bridge has no aesthetic value compared to arch bridges
Beam bridges are simply cheap and effective; their building
does not get around basic aesthetics of its construction.
· Beam has limited placement options
This is seen in water ways where large ships are required to
pass. The beam bridge will not be applicable.
· The deck span width of a beam bridge is limited.
Most beam supports two lanes of traffic. For more lanes there
will be two bridges built instead of one.
· Beam bridges offer little flexibility
The beam bridges are not designed to handle difficult
atmospheric conditions. Cases of high wind conditions vehicles
in a beam bridge experience movement when crossing the
bridge. Also, the wind accelerates wear and tear on the bridge
supports.
Arch bridges
The bridges structural elements are curved members that carry
loads. In this compressive force act at the centroid of each
element of the arch. In some cases, arch bridges also carry
asymmetric loading and point loading, carried by ribs by
bending (Lu, Usami and Ge, 2004). This is seen in some arch
bridges like the masonry bridge when line of thrust is displaced
from its mean path under dead load.
The shape of the true arch can is seen as the inverse of a
hanging chain between abutments. The arch bridge is usually
subjected to multiple loading that is dead load, live load and
temperature all of which produces bending moment stresses in
12. the arch rib that generally less compared to the axial
compressive stress (Cai, Xu, Feng & Zhang, 2012).
The arch bridges are generally competitive with the other
bridges though their cost may be a bit higher for the same span
and are chosen for their aesthetic value.
Construction sequence
In arch fabrication one factor considered is stiffening, should
the arch be stiffened longitudinally or not. Considering loss of
efficiency when thin plates are used b/t>24 and the additional
fabrication cost of stiffened panels. Arches are normally
fabricated from weathering steel; the exterior is painted and
interior left unpainted.
Tubes are normally used and are left sealed or vented with
provisions for drainage.
Bracing between the arches can take a number of forms, and can
even be omitted in small to medium spans (Lonetti, Pascuzzo &
Aiello, 2019). Tubes are commonly used, and are generally too
small for man access. They can either be sealed, or vented into
the arch boxes with provision for drainage. Note that hot rolled
sections are not available in weathering steel.
Hangers are also applied to support the bridge. The hangers may
take the form of round bars. The hangers require to be placed at
closer centres since they are of lower strength. Ropes locked
coils are also applicable for arch bridges just like for the cable
stayed bridges.
A steel orthotropic deck is made or even a concrete one though
concrete pose problems when interacting with tensions
developed in the tie beam. A ladder deck may be used for
support with cross girders.
Arch shape
Parabolic arch is the best shape for structural efficiency. When
uniform loading, only axial forces act on the members. Addition
of tie beam contributes to stiffness of the system which brings
about some moments around the arch springing. Circular arch
have greater bending moments in the arch members.
Influence lines
13. Maximum axial forces are generated when the whole span is
loaded, however maximum bending will occur when just part of
the span is loaded. Example of an influence line for bending in
the arch is given below.
· Influence lines
·
Influence line for axial force in arch member
·
Influence line for force in a hangerIn studying influence line,
there are both positive and negative parts. The influence line for
a vertical hanger usually comprises a single positive peak as
shown above right.
Loading
In designing for loading, dead loads carry a large portion of
design stresses for main elements thus its necessary to allow
fully for the erection method. This applies to bending in the
arch, locked in bending moments which is controlled by
adjusting hanger’s length. Special vehicles are chosen to suit
influence lines since loaded lengths and positions of tandem
axles are different and changing. Aerodynamic instability is
minimal but for bridges with long spans it is necessary for wind
tunnel tests. Inter arch bracing designing is done with
consideration of wind loading. Accidental loss of a hanger is
also considered in arch bridge design. This is to prevent
collapse of the whole span in case of such an incidence.
Hangers should be routinely inspected and replaced.
Arch/ tie connections
Plating arrangement is confirmed by some local finite element
modelling. Careful considerations are given to how fabrication
of the pieces is done for efficiency and also to cut on cost.
Hangers
As a rule of thumb, cables are best sized under SLS loading that
is limiting tensile stress to 45% of breaking load. The
manufacturers can provide data on various forms of ropes,
strands and bars. This ensures that under accidental loss of a
14. hanger the remaining hangers can work at higher stress level
(Lonetti, Pascuzzo & Aiello, 2019). Cable sockets are made
such that their fixings are sized with their strengths exceeding
the breaking load of cables. Hangers can be terminated inside
the arch. Though internal connections require installation and
subsequent inspection and maintenance inside a confined place.
Hangers are adjusted to allow for geometrical tolerances
between arch and tie and for initial stressing and subsequent
adjustments.
Internal hanger connection
Splices
The splices can be bolted or welded. Welding is considered for
its efficiency in terms of design since no loss in section from
bolt holes occurs.
Fabrication process
An arch box is made comprising four plates joined along their
edges. The weld can be an internal fillet weld plus an external
part penetrating weld. This is because shear is generally low in
arches.
The fabricator may add ring frames at the ends to maintain the
square shape. Butt weld is used to join arch and tie beam units.
The welding sequence must be adhered to or else cracking may
be experienced.
Erection
Method used is determined by the size of bridge, type, obstacle
to be closed and other side conditions.
Site accessibility, the cranes available for lifts is also
considered. Support availability and necessity is also
considered.
Advantages of arch bridges
· Arch bridges can be constructed from any material- most
modern arch bridges are constructed with steel and concrete.
Materials such as stones when properly build can last long in
15. arch bridges. Aluminium has also been used to build arch
bridges.
· Arch bridges can span greater distances- the arch bridges are
mostly constructed where there is long distance required to span
with the structure. This design option often goes further
between two points of vertical support than a straight beam
because of the way it handles downward load vectors. This
makes the bridge to be in a position to carry more load than
horizontal support designs.
· The arch design provide support without distorting over time.
The half circle shape of the arch bridge ensures that no
distortion happens downward when load is applied. This applies
to both dead load and live loads. This feature reduces greatly
the cost of long-term maintenance of the bridge since
consistency of the structure is maintained.
· The arch bridge is stronger than other bridges of the same
span
In case of something heavy passing over the bridge its weight
will modify the bridge with a downward sagging force. The
support columns weight is transferred to the entire structure
with consistency. Equal displacement in the bridge reduces
incidences of wear and tear reducing maintenance cost. The
bridge is able to handle thermal and user change effectively.
· The arch bridge becomes stronger with age
With time compression force acting on the bridge acts to flatten
it. This gives it added strength. As the arch bridge gains U
shape with less rounding, weight is distributed better to the
deck, abutments which provide more stability in the crossing
surface.
· The arch bridge adapts to local environmental factors better
The shape allows more water to pass under it compared to
straight bridge in case its build over a river, this reduces
chances of the bridge being swept away.
· Multiple arches can be built to provide more stability
With multiple arches built and tied to each other, a stronger
16. deck that can handles a high level of traffic vehicles can be
built. This also increases ability of the bridge to handle most
environmental conditions.
· The arch bridges provide a variety of forms that it can take.
Designers when thinking of the aesthetics of the bridge have
many options to choose from. They can choose a lighter, thinner
design with trussed arch, masonry arch, equilateral points,
parabolic, elliptical and Tudor design elements.
Disadvantages of arch bridges
· Tie girders have to be constructed before the arch ribs can
function compared to the cable stayed bridge where deck
elements and cables are erected simultaneously during the
construction process.
· The arch bridges require regular maintenance
Flexibility of the arch bridges makes them susceptible to
cracking and tearing when exposed to harsh conditions. This
means regular inspections are require to ensure the structure is
intact. To ensure that the supports are distributing weight as
require to the abutments, maintenance have to be regularly
done. Even modern materials wear with time, the structures
have to be constantly inspected to ensure intervention and repair
is done on time.
· The arch bridge is expensive
Building of arch bridges is labour intensive and it also takes
more time. In addition to that the level of expertise require is
more due to its complexity in structure. To obtain high quality
bridge material quality is also require meaning high Quality
Bridge require more expensive material.
· Arch bridge has to be built in grounds that can support them.
Ground on which the arch bridge is built must be in a position
to hold the forces that will be distributed along the bridge up to
the abutments. Modern bridges are using materials that can
tolerate pressure allowing the bridge to be built on weaker
grounds.
· Arch bridges have limited span
By nature, the longer the arch the weaker it is. This means that
17. arch have starting and end points unlike other designs. This
forces the designer to use a lot of reinforcing material in case of
a long arch or to build several arches to cover the span of the
bridge. When the ends of arch bridge are too far spaced from
one another, weight transference reduces with distance. The
structure also weakens when tension and radius are added.
· Arch bridges are difficult to build.
In designing the bridge, a lot of factors have to be considered,
this makes the design work challenging. Building them is also
time consuming and they are labor intensive making them
expensive to build. To design the bridge the designer must
understand interior and exterior pressure that the abutments
must handle. Enough strength in material and supports
processes for sufficient weight transfer must be observed.
· The arch bridges require stronger supports
The structural integrity of the arch bridges to a great extent is
determined by how sturdy the abutments are. This contribute to
long time and cost used in building the bridges.
· Constraint in locations
The bridge requires solid and stable supports on both sides.
There must be two placement points regardless of the bridge
span, that are successful in their support. Though modern
materials can withstand more tension and stress, the bridge must
be two sided.
· Arch bridges need additional support
This kind of bridges require more side support than other bridge
types due to nature of settling and movements that occur within
the structure. Artificial pillars provide a finite amount of
strength which is not sufficient to reach the weight tolerance
necessary for the bridge.
· Excess flexibility on the arch bridge
For the two-hinged and three-hinged arch bridge flexibility can
greatly benefit the surrounding communities where thermal
changes are frequent. In some design flexibility of the arch is
too much for the deck to handle, this happens if too much
movements are allowed especially in different directions
18. simultaneously. This can lead to the bridge failure.
The arch design has to be perfect in design for it to work as
intended.
The design of the bridge must be perfect for the weight
distribution to be balanced the strength of the steel, concrete
and other building material must be correct for the structure to
stand. Discrepancies may create weaknesses that are too
difficult to overcome.
Bridge selection
For this project beam and slab with ladder deck was selected.
This is because they are the most cost-effective considering
fabrication and erection. The bridge is supposed to be built on a
land with limited space, this means excessive supports like
would be required in arch bridges can not be made. This makes
the ladder deck bridge most suitable for the section. The
equipment to use for erection of the bridge must also be
considered. The ladder deck only require space for the crane to
place the girders.
Minimum time is provided for interrupting the motor way where
the bridge will be placed. This means a bridge that will require
minimum time to erect and complete the operation. The only
operation of ladder deck bridge that will interrupt the motor
way is during placing of the girder. The other operations can be
carried on with minimum interruption of the motor way.
· From this the most suitable choice for our bridge is the ladder
deck.
The bridge will have a length of 50m and the width will be 14m.
It will use the ladder deck with main girder space been 4m. This
means the girder will have a spacing of 3m and overhang of 3m
on both sides.
The bridge framing plan has cross girder with uniform spacing
of 6m which are governed by the construction requirements in
positive bending and moments redistribution requirements in
negative bending.
The bridge will have a cross section as shown
19. The bridge will have provisions for water, gas and cable
passage beneath the foot path as per the drawing.
The bridge will be subjected to
Dead load and live load
In live load the bridge will be subjected to a load 5kN/
Assume a vehicle of 600kN/
1.2m wheel spacing where each wheel carry
150kN/
The vehicle is in constant motion thus the load is shifting along
the span of the bridge (Yousif, Z., & Hindi, 2007).
During design the bending moments and shear force are
considered.
Bending moments increases as the vehicle moves toward bridge
midpoint as shown in the figure
The shear force on the bridge is highest at bridge support and
reduces as the weight shifts toward bridge midpoint. This is as
illustrated below
The bridge will being a two-lane bridge will have 3 notion lines
which are line where weight is experienced
9m/3=3 notion lines with foot paths on both
sides
The deck will be ladder deck
The cross girder spacing will be 4m apart. Since the girder used
are 3 the bridge will be a double ladder deck.

The bending moment will be as follows

The beam is simply supported which means the top flange is
under stress
Stress in outer flange can be calculated as
354.5<355 which is tolerable
Bottom flange will be
295.2<355 which is tolerable
Therefore, a thickness of 40mm for the flange and 20mm for the
web is tolerable

Society and Social Interaction
Roles and Status
Role: a pattern of behavior expected of someone who has a
certain social status or who performs a particular social function
Status: a measurement of someone’s social value that allows
them to experience certain responsibilities and benefits
according to their rank or role in society
· Ascribedstatus: the status outside of an individual’s control,
such as sex or race
· Achievedstatus: the status a person chooses, such as level of
education or income
Rolestrain: stress that occurs when a role requires too much
from someone
Roleconflict: occurs when the roles associated with one status
clash with the roles associated with a different
statusSocialization
Socialization: the process of learning and internalizing the
values, beliefs, and norms of a social group to behave in a way
that society finds acceptable
· Socialization “describes the ways that people come to
understand societal norms and expectations, to accept society’s
beliefs, and to be aware of societal values” (p. 94).
Theories of Self
26. Self: our personal identity that is separate and different from all
other people
· Cooley theorized that the self is developed through others’
perceptions; we view ourselves through the eyes of others.
· Erikson theorized that the self is formed over eight stages of
development throughout a lifetime.
· Mead theorized that the self is developed through social
interaction; children learn it through role-play.
· Kohlberg theorized that the self is shaped through moral
development to determine what behaviors are “good” versus
“bad.”
· Gilligan theorized that the self is developed through moral
development with a gender bias.
Nature vs. Nurture
Nature: behavioral traits are explained by genetics; our
dispositions and characteristics are inherited at birth instead of
learned
Nurture: relationships and environmental factors influence our
behavior as we grow up; the self is learned from our
interactions with agents of socialization
Agents of Socialization
Agentsofsocialization: social institutions that transmit values,
norms, and beliefs
· Family – the first and most significant agent of socialization
in all societies; family teaches us basic values and norms that
shape our identities
· Peers – people similar in age and status who provide different
social skills than the family; peers remain significant to
socialization from childhood through adulthood
· School – place where children are provided with education to
become formally socialized in how to mix with others and learn
the social behaviors that will be important later in life
· Media – mass distribution of generic information that
influences social norms on a wide scaleMarriage and Family
27. Marriage: a legally recognized contract between two people who
typically have a sexual relationship and an expectation of
permanence about their relationship
Family: socially recognized groups of individuals who share an
emotional connection and may be related by blood, joined by
marriage, cohabitating in the same home, or adopted into the
family; the basic economic social unit of society
Nuclear family: two married parents with children living in the
same household
Extended family: a household that includes at least one parent
and child, as well as other relatives like grandparents, aunts,
uncles, or cousins
Single-parent family: only one parent in a household caring for
children; number of single-parent families in the U.S. has been
increasing
Blended family: parents have children from previous
relationships, but all the members come together as one family
unit
Cohabitation: when a couple lives together without being
married and may have a sexual relationship; practiced by an
estimated 7.5 million people
The U.S. Census Bureau reported that the number of households
of same-sex couples has increased by 50 percent since 2000; 25-
42% of these same-sex couples in each state are also married.
Theoretical Perspectives on Marriage and Family
· Functionalist perspective
· Families function to stabilize society, and members within a
family function in certain roles for the benefit of the family;
families also teach children their social roles that help society
continue to function.
· Conflict theorist perspective
· Families consist of people with varying levels of power,
leading to power struggles over family status roles, often
associated with domestic responsibilities.
· Symbolic interactionist perspective
28. · Family and the roles within a family group symbolize different
meanings to different people; their meanings continue to change
because they are socially constructed through interaction with
others.Religion
Religion: a system of beliefs, values, and attitudes about what a
person holds to be sacred or spiritually significant, along with
the practices or rituals associated with those beliefs
Theoretical Perspectives on Religion
· Functionalist perspective
· Religion functions in society to create a place for groups to
network with others who share values and beliefs, and to offer
each other emotional comfort and support during times of crisis.
· Conflict theorist perspective
· The institution of religion maintains social inequalities when
religiously powerful people concentrate wealth away from
others by dictating beliefs and practices that lead believers to
accept circumstances as they are.
· Symbolic interactionist perspective
· Beliefs and experiences are only sacred symbols if the
individuals interacting in everyday society consider them
sacred.Education
Education: a social institution that teaches knowledge, skills,
and judgments according to cultural norms to the children in a
society
Theoretical Perspectives on Education
· Functionalist perspective
· Education is a highly important social institution that
functions primarily to socialize children, provide social control,
offer paths to higher levels of social placement, and to transmit
culture to prepare them to be successful in society.
· Education also has latent, or secondary, functions that provide
students with a place to interact with others, integrate with
different social groups, foster self-esteem and patriotism, and to
learn about social issues and how to cooperate with each other.
29. · Conflict theorist perspective
· The public education system reinforces social inequalities due
to an uneven distribution of resources between groups; conflict
arises from differences in class, gender, race, or ethnicity that
continue to track working-class students away from
opportunities for more wealth or prestigious social roles.
· Symbolic interactionist perspective
· Individuals can be labeled according to their intelligence,
aptitude, or academic accomplishments by their teachers or
other social groups in power; these labels can be adopted by
others in the school, impacting someone’s schooling through
their everyday interactions.

hot-rolled beam sections and a high degree of prefabrication.
The method employs a hot-rolled steel beam section, oxycut
39. longitudinally into two
T-sections with a special shape. This shape of the web works as
a continuous shear connector, allowing shear connection
between steel profile and the concrete slab without the use of
welded shear studs, and therefore without any site welding.

Bridges are an essential part of the
transport infrastructure.

1.1 General
A bridge is a means by which a road,
railway or other service is carried over
an obstacle such as a river, valley, other
road or railway line, either with no
intermediate support or with only a
limited number of supports at
convenient locations.
Bridges range in size from very modest
short spans over, say, a small river to
the extreme examples of suspension
bridges crossing wide estuaries.
Appearance is naturally less crucial for
the smaller bridges, but in all cases the
designer will consider the appearance
of the basic elements, which make up
his bridge, the superstructure and the
substructure, and choose proportions
which are appropriate to the particular
circumstances considered. The use
of steel often helps the designer to
59. select proportions that are
aesthetically pleasing.
Bridges are an essential part of the
transport infrastructure. For example,
there are more than 15,000 highway
bridges in the UK, with approximately
300 being constructed each year as
replacements or additions. Many of
these new bridges use steel as the
principal structural elements because it
is an economic and speedy form of
construction. On average, around
35,000 tonnes of steel have been used
annually in the UK for the construction
of highway and railway bridges.
The guide describes the general features
of bridges, outlines the various forms of
steel bridge construction in common
use, and discusses the considerations
to be made in designing them. It
describes the steps in the design
procedure for a composite plate girder
highway bridge superstructure,
explaining how to choose an initial
outline arrangement and then how to
apply design rules to analyse it and
detail the individual elements of the
bridge. Reference is made to simplified
versions of the Structural Eurocodes for
bridge design, which are available for
student use (see Ref.1 on page 31). In
addition, the guide outlines material
specification issues and the various
approaches to corrosion protection.

1.2 Basic features of bridges
Superstructure
The superstructure of a bridge is the
part directly responsible for carrying the
road or other service. Its layout is
determined largely by the disposition
of the service to be carried. In most
cases, there is a deck structure that
carries the loads from the individual
wheels and distributes the loads to the
principal structural elements, such as
beams spanning between the
substructure supports.
Road bridges carry a number of traffic
lanes, in one or two directions, and may
also carry footways. At the edge of the
bridge, parapets are provided for the
protection of vehicles and people. The
arrangement of traffic lanes and
footways is usually decided by the
highway engineer. Traffic lane and
61. footpath widths along with clear height
above the carriageway are usually
specified by the highway authority.
Whilst the bridge designer has little
influence over selecting the layout and
geometry of the running surface, he
does determine the structural form of
the superstructure. In doing so, he must
balance requirements for the
substructure and superstructure, whilst
achieving necessary clearances above
and across the obstacle below.
Rail bridges typically carry two tracks,
laid on ballast, although separate
superstructures are often provided for
each track. Railway gradients are much
more limited than roadway gradients
and because of this the construction
depth of the superstructure (from rail
level to the underside or soffit of the
bridge) is often very tightly constrained.
This limitation frequently results in
‘half through’ construction (see
Section 2.1). Railway loading is greater
than highway loading and consequently
the superstructures for railway bridges
are usually much heavier than for
highway bridges.
Footbridges are smaller lighter
structures. They are narrow (about 2m
wide) and are usually single span
structures that rarely span more than
62. 40m. There are a number of forms of
steel footbridge (see Ref.4 on page 31),
although they are outside the scope of
this guidance publication.
Substructure
The substructure of a bridge is
responsible for supporting the
superstructure and carrying the loads to
the ground through foundations.
05
To support the superstructure, single
span bridges require two ‘abutments’,
one at each end of the bridge. Where
the bearing strength of the soil is good,
these abutments can be quite small, for
example a strip foundation on an
embankment. Foundations on poor soils
must either be broad spread footings or
be piled. The abutments may also act as
retaining walls, for example to hold back
the end of an approach embankment.
Multiple span bridges require
intermediate supports, often called
‘piers’, to provide additional support to
the superstructure. The locations of
these supports are usually constrained
by the topography of the ground, though
where the superstructure is long the
designer may be able to choose the
number and spacing of piers for overall
63. economy or appearance. Intermediate
supports are generally constructed of
reinforced concrete.
Integral construction
Traditionally, movement (expansion)
joints have been provided at the ends of
the superstructure, to accommodate
expansion/contraction. Experience in
recent years has been that such joints
require on-going maintenance, yet they
inevitably leak and result in deterioration
of the substructure below the joint. For
bridges of modest overall length, it is
now common to use integral
construction, with no movement joint. In
its simplest form, the ends of the
superstructure are cast into the tops of
the abutments. Integral construction
requires the consideration of soil-
structure interaction and is likely to be
beyond the scope of a student project.

2 Forms of steel
bridge construction
64. Structural steelwork is used in the
superstructures of bridges from the
smallest to the greatest.
Steel is a most versatile and effective
material for bridge construction, able to
carry loads in tension, compression and
shear. Structural steelwork is used in the
superstructures of bridges from the
smallest to the greatest.
There is a wide variety of structural
forms available to the designer but each
essentially falls into one of four groups:
• beam bridges
• arch bridges
• suspension bridges
• stayed girder bridges
The fourth group is, in many ways, a
hybrid between a suspension bridge and
a beam bridge but it does have features
that merit separate classification.
The following sections describe the
range of forms of steel and composite
(steel/concrete) bridge that are in current
use, explaining the concept, layout and
key design issues for each type.

2.1 Beam bridges
Beam and slab bridges
A beam and slab bridge is one where a
reinforced concrete deck slab sits on
top of steel I-beams, and acts
compositely with them in bending. There
are two principal forms of this beam and
slab construction – multi-girder
construction and ladder deck
construction. Between them, they
account for the majority of medium span
highway bridges currently being built in
the UK, and are suitable for spans
ranging from 13m up to 100m. The
choice between the two forms depends
on economic considerations and
site-specific factors such as form of
intermediate supports and access for
construction.
Multi-girder decks
In multi-girder construction a number of
similarly sized longitudinal plate girders
are arranged at uniform spacing across
the width of the bridge, as shown in the
typical cross section in Figure 1 below.
66. The girders and slab effectively form a
series of composite T-beams side-by-
side. The girders are braced together at
supports and at some intermediate
positions.
For smaller spans it is possible to use
rolled section beams (UKBs), but these
are rarely used today for bridges: plate
girders are almost always used.
Typically, plate girders are spaced
between about 3m and 3.5m, apart
transversely and thus, for an ordinary
two-lane overbridge, four girders are
provided. This suits an economic
thickness of the deck slab that
distributes the direct loads from the
wheels by bending transversely.
Ladder decks
An alternative arrangement with only
two main girders is often used. Then
the slab is supported on crossbeams at
about 3.5m spacing; the slab spans
longitudinally between crossbeams and
the crossbeams span transversely
between the two main girders. This
arrangement is referred to as ‘ladder
deck’ construction, because of the
plan configuration of the steelwork,
which resembles the stringers and rungs
of a ladder.
A typical cross-section of a ladder deck
bridge is shown in Figure 2. The
67. arrangement with two main girders is
appropriate (and economic) for a bridge
width up to that for a dual two-laneFigure 1: Cross-section of a
typical multi-girder deck bridge.

carriageway. Wider decks can be carried
on a pair of ladder decks.
For both deck types, the use of plate
girders gives scope to vary the flange
and web sizes to suit the loads carried
at different positions along the bridge.
However, the resulting economies must
be weighed against the cost of splices.
Designers can also choose to vary the
depth of the girder along its length. For
example, it is quite common to increase
the girder depth over intermediate
supports or to reduce it in midspan.
The variation in depth can be achieved
either by straight haunching (tapered
girders) or by curving the bottom
68. flange upwards. The shaped web, either
for a variable depth girder or for a
constant depth girder with a vertical
camber, is easily achieved by profile
cutting during fabrication.
Half-through plate girder bridges
In some situations, notably for railway
bridges, the depth between the
trafficked surface (or rails) and the
underside of the bridge is severely
constrained and there is little depth
available for the structure. In these
circumstances, ‘half through’
construction is used. In this form there
are two main girders, one either side of
the roadway or railway and the slab is
supported on crossbeams connected to
the inner faces at the bottom of the
webs. The half-through form is perhaps
more familiar in older railway bridges,
where the girders are of riveted
construction, but it is still used for new
welded railway bridges and occasionally
for highway bridges.
In half-through construction using
I-beams, the top flange, which is in
compression, has to be provided with
lateral stability by some means. The two
main girders together with the deck and
transverse beams form a rectangular
U shape and this generates so-called
‘U-frame action’ to restrain the top
69. flange. There has to be a moment
connection between the cross-members
and the main girders to achieve this.
Under railway loading, the connection is
subjected to onerous fatigue loading
and an alternative using box girders has
been developed.

Box girder bridges
Box girders are in effect a particular form
of plate girder, where two webs are
joined top and bottom by a common
flange. Box girders perform primarily in
bending, but also offer very good
torsional stiffness and strength. Box
70. girders are often used for large and very
large spans, sometimes as a cable
stayed bridge. They can also be used for
more modest spans, especially when the
torsional stiffness is advantageous, such
as for curved bridges.
In beam and slab bridges, box girders
are an alternative to plate girders
when spans exceed 40-50m. They can
show economies over plate girders,
though fabrication cost rates are
somewhat higher for box girders. Two
forms are used:
• multiple closed steel boxes, with the
deck slab over the top
• an open top trapezoidal box, closed
by the deck slab, which is connected
to small flanges on top of each web
Spans of 100 to 200m typically use
either a single box or a pair of boxes
with crossbeams. Boxes are often varied
in depth, in the same way as plate
girders, as mentioned earlier.
For very long spans and for bridges such
as lifting bridges, where minimising
structural weight is very important, an
all-steel orthotropic deck may be used
instead of a reinforced concrete slab.
The form of deck has fairly thin flange
plate (typically 14mm) to the underside
of which steel stiffeners have been
71. welded; the stiffened plate is then able
to span both transversely and
longitudinally (to internal diaphragms) to
distribute the local wheel loads.
Above about 200m, box girders are
likely to be part of a cable stayed
bridge or a suspension bridge. The box
girders used in suspension bridges are
specially shaped for optimum
aerodynamic performance; they
invariably use an orthotropic steel deck
for economy of weight.
The principal advantages of box girders
derive from the torsional rigidity of the
closed cell. This is particularly important
as spans increase and the natural
frequencies of a bridge tend to reduce;
stiffness in torsion maintains a
reasonably high torsional frequency.
Torsional stiffness also makes boxes
more efficient in their use of material to
resist bending, especially when
asymmetrical loading is considered.
Comparing a single box with a twin plate
girder solution it can be seen that the
whole of the bottom flange of the box
resists vertical bending wherever the
load is placed transversely.
The aesthetic appeal of box girders, with
their clean lines, is especially important
where the underside of the bridge is
72. clearly visible.
Although the fabrication of box girders is
more expensive than plate girders, the
margin is not so great as to discourage
their use for modest spans. For large
spans, the relative simplicity of large
plated elements may well lead to more
economical solutions than other forms.
Erection is facilitated by the integrity of
individual lengths of the box girders.
Sections are usually preassembled at
ground level then lifted into position and
welded to the previous section.
Box girders are also used for railway
bridges in half-through construction, as
an alternative to plate girders. Two box
girders are used, with the deck simply
supported between them. With this
arrangement, there is no need to achieve
10
U-frame action, because of the torsional
stiffness and stability provided by the
box sections themselves.
Truss bridges
A truss is a triangulated framework of
individual elements or members. A truss
is sometimes referred to as an ‘open
web girder’, because its overall
structural action is still as a member
73. resisting bending but the open nature of
the framework results in its elements
(‘chords’ in place of flanges and ‘posts’
and diagonals’ in place of webs) being
primarily in tension or compression.
Bending of the individual elements is a
secondary effect, except where loads
are applied away from the node
positions, such as loads from closely-
spaced crossbeams that span between
a pair of trusses.
Trusses were common in the earlier
periods of steel construction, since
welding had not been developed and
the sizes of rolled section and plate
were limited; every piece had to be
joined by riveting. Although very labour
intensive, both in the shop and on site,
this form offered great flexibility in the
shapes, sizes, and capacity of bridges.
As well as being used as beams,
trusses were also used as arches, as
cantilevers and as stiffening girders to
suspension bridges.
A typical configuration of a truss bridge
is a ‘through truss’ configuration. There
is a pair of truss girders connected at
bottom chord level by a deck that also
carries the traffic, spanning between the
two trusses. At top chord level the
girders are braced together, again with a
triangulated framework of members,
creating an ‘open box’ through which
the traffic runs. Where clearance below
74. the truss is not a problem, the deck
structure is often supported on top of
the truss; sometimes a slab is made to
act compositely with the top chords, in
a similar way to an ordinary beam and
slab bridge.
Today, the truss girder form of
construction usually proves expensive to
fabricate because of the large amount of
labour-intensive work in building up the
members and making the connections.
Trusses have little advantage over plate
girders for ordinary highway bridges. On
the other hand, they do offer a very light
yet stiff form of construction for
footbridges, gantries and demountable
bridges (Bailey bridges).
Trusses are still considered a viable
solution in the UK for railway bridges,
especially where the spans are greater
than 50m. A high degree of stiffness can
be provided by deep trusses, yet the use
of through trusses minimises the
effective construction depth (between rail
level and the bridge soffit), which is very
often crucially important to railways. The
construction depth is dictated only by
the cross members spanning between
the main truss girders.
Very many footbridges are built using
trusses made from steel hollow
sections. Profile cutting and welding of
75. the hollow sections is straightforward
and economic. Half through or through
construction is usually employed – the
floor of the bridge is made at the bottom
chord level between two truss girders.

2.2 Arch bridges
In an arch bridge, the principal structural
elements (‘ribs’) are curved members
that carry loads principally in
compression. A simple arch ‘springs’
from two foundations and imposes
horizontal thrusts upon them. Although
the arch ribs are primarily in
compression, arch bridges also have to
carry asymmetric loading and point
loading and the ribs carry this partly by
bending. This is more conventionally
seen (in masonry bridges, for example)
as the displacement of the line of thrust
from its mean path under dead load.
76. In masonry bridges, load is imposed on
the arch from above; the roadway (or
railway) is on top of fill above the arch.
A steel arch can have a similar
configuration, with a steel or concrete
deck above the arch, supported on
struts to the arch below, or the arch can
be above the roadway, with the deck
suspended from it by hangers.
One situation where the arch is still
favoured is in deep ravines, where a
single span is required; the ribs can be
built out without the need for
intermediate support. In such cases, the
deck is usually above the arch.
Perhaps the most familiar arch is that of
the Sydney Harbour Bridge. In that
bridge, much of the deck is hung from
the heavy arch truss, although the deck
passes through the arch near the ends
and is then supported above it.
One form of arch which is sometimes
used for more modest spans is the tied
arch. Instead of springing from
foundations, the two ends of the arch
are tied by the deck itself (this avoids
horizontal reactions on the foundations).
The deck is supported vertically by
hangers from the arch ribs.
In recent years, arches and tied arches
77. have become a little more common,
partly because the use of an arch from
which to hang the deck allows the
construction depth of a suspended deck
to be kept shallow, even at longer
spans, and partly because the arches
make a clear architectural statement.
Arches are sometimes skew to the line
of the deck and sometimes the arch
planes are inclined (inclined arch planes
have been used in many recent
footbridges, for dramatic visual effect).
2.3 Suspension bridges
In a suspension bridge, the principal
structural elements are purely in tension.
A suspension bridge is fundamentally
simple in action: two cables (or ropes or
chains) are suspended between two
supports (‘towers’ or ‘pylons’), hanging
in a shallow curve, and a deck is
supported from the two cables by a
series of hangers along their length. The
cables and hangers are in simple
tension and the deck spans transversely
and longitudinally between the hangers.
In most cases the cables are anchored
at ground level, either side of the main
towers; often the sidespans are hung
from these portions of the cables.
In the mid 19th century, wrought iron
links were used to make suspension
‘chains’; by the end of that century, high
strength wire was being used for
78. suspension ‘cables’. Steel wire is still
being used today. Sometimes, for more
modest spans, wire ropes (spirally
wound wires) have been used.
In addition to its action in carrying
traffic, the deck acts as a stiffening
girder running the length of each span.
The stiffening girder spreads
concentrated loads and provides
stiffness against oscillation; such
stiffness is needed against both bending
and twisting actions.
Because of their fundamental simplicity
and economy of structural action,
suspension bridges have been used for
the longest bridge spans. The graceful
curve of the suspension cable combined
with the strong line of the deck and
12
Forms of steel bridge construction
13
stiffening girder generally give a very
pleasing appearance. The combination
of grace and grandeur in such situations
leads to the acknowledged view that
many of the world’s most exciting
bridges are suspension bridges.
79. In American suspension bridges, which
pioneered long span construction, truss
girders have been used almost
exclusively. They are particularly suitable
for wide and deep girders – some US
bridges carry six lanes of traffic on each
of two levels of a truss girder! Japanese
suspension bridges have also favoured
the use of trusses, again because of the
heavy loads carried – some carry
railways as well as highways. The
longest suspension bridge span is that
of Akashi-Kaikyo (1991m) and there the
deck is of truss construction, carrying
six lanes of traffic.
Box girders have been used for the
stiffening girders of many suspension
bridges. They provide stiffness in
bending and in torsion with minimum
weight. Some of the longest spans,
such as the Humber Bridge (1410m),
Runyang Bridge (1490m) and the
Storebælt East Bridge (1624m) have
steel box girder decks.

80. Forms of steel bridge construction
2.4 Stayed girder bridges
In this form of bridge, the main girders
are given extra support at intervals
along their length by inclined tension
members (stays) connected to a high
mast or pylon. The girders thus sustain
both bending and compression forces.
The deck is ‘suspended’, in the sense
that it relies on the tensile stays, but the
stays cannot be constructed
independently of the deck, unlike a
suspension bridge, so it is a distinctly
different structural form of bridge.
Stayed girder bridges were developed
in Germany during the reconstruction
period after 1945, for major river
bridges such as those over the lower
Rhine. Stayed bridges using plate
girders and simple cable stays of high
tensile wire have proved to be much
cheaper than trusses and have therefore
displaced them for longer spans (over
about 200m).
Recent developments have extended
the realm of the cable stayed bridge to
very long spans, which had previously
been the almost exclusive domain of
suspension bridges. Several cable
stayed bridges have been built with
spans over 800m and Sutong Bridge,
due to be completed in 2008, has a
clear span of 1088m. Such
81. development has only been made
possible by the facility to carry out
extensive analysis of dynamic behaviour
and by using sophisticated damping
against oscillation.
The visual appearance of stayed
structures can be very effective, even
dramatic. They are frequently
considered appealing or eye-catching.
On a more modest scale, cable stayed
construction is sometimes used for
footbridges (spans of 40m and above),
to give support and stiffness to an
otherwise very light structure.
2.5 Advantages of steel
bridges
Regardless of the form of bridge
construction, a material with good
tensile strength is essential and steel is
effective and economical in fulfilling that
role. The advantages of steel in bridges
are outlined below.
High strength to weight ratio
The lightweight nature of steel
construction combined with its strength
is particularly advantageous in long
span bridges where self-weight is
crucial. Even on more modest spans the
reduced weight minimises substructure
and foundation costs, which is beneficial
82. in poor ground conditions. Minimum
self-weight is also an important factor
for lift and swing bridges, as it reduces
the size of counter-weights and leads to
lower mechanical plant costs.
The high strength of steel allows
construction depths to be reduced,
overcoming problems with headroom
clearances, and minimising the length
and height of approach ramps. This
can also result in a pleasing
low-profile appearance.
High quality prefabrication
Prefabrication in controlled shop
conditions has benefits in terms of
quality, and trial erection can be done
at the works to avoid fit-up problems
on site.
Speed of erection
Construction time on site in hostile
environments is minimised, resulting in
economic and safety benefits.
The lightweight nature of steel permits
the speedy erection of large
components, which minimises disruption
to the public where rail possessions or
road closures are required. In special
circumstances complete bridges can be
installed overnight.
83. 15
Versatility
Steelwork can be constructed by a wide
range of methods and sequences. For
example the main girders can be
installed by crane, by slide-in
techniques or using transporters. Steel
gives the contractor flexibility in terms of
erection sequence and construction
programme. Girders can be erected
either singly or in pairs, depending on
plant constraints, and components can
be sized to overcome particular access
problems at the site. Once erected, the
steel girders provide a platform for
subsequent operations.
Steel also has broad architectural
possibilities. The high surface quality of
steel creates clean sharp lines and
allows attention to detail. Modern
fabrication methods facilitate curvature
in both plan and elevation. The painting
of steelwork introduces colour and
contrast, whilst repainting can change or
refresh the appearance of the bridge.
Durability
Steel bridges now have a proven life
span extending to well over 100 years.
Indeed, the life of a steel bridge that is
carefully designed, properly built, well-
maintained and not seriously
overloaded, is indefinitely long.
84. The structural elements of a steel bridge
are visible and accessible, so any signs
of deterioration are readily apparent,
without extensive investigations, and
may be swiftly and easily addressed by
repainting the affected areas. Most
major structures are now designed with
future maintenance in mind, by the
provision of permanent access platforms
and travelling gantries, and modern
protective coating systems have lives in
excess of 30 years.
Modification, demolition and repair
Steel bridges are adaptable and can
readily be altered for a change in use.
They can be widened to accommodate
extra lanes of traffic, and strengthened
to carry heavier traffic loads. When the
bridge is no longer required, the steel
girders can easily be cut into
manageable sizes and recycled, which is
a benefit in terms of sustainability.
Should the bridge be damaged, the
affected areas may be cut out and new
sections welded in. Alternatively, girders
can be repaired by heat straightening, a
technique pioneered in the US, and
recently introduced to the UK.

1. Introduction
A well-detailed weathering steel bridge in an appropriate
environment provides an attractive, very low maintenance,
economic solution.
Weathering steel is a high strength low alloy steel that was
originally developed by United States Steel in the 1930s to
resist corrosion and abrasion in their ore wagons. It was given
the trade name Cor-ten, and was first used in construction on
the John Deere World Headquarters building in Moline, Illinois,
which opened in 1964. Since then, the use of weathering steel
has spread worldwide and in Europe it is available as
“structural steel with improved atmospheric corrosion
resistance” and is a non-proprietary product.
In suitable environments weathering steel forms an adherent
87. protective rust ‘patina’, that inhibits further corrosion. The
corrosion rate is so low that bridges fabricated from unpainted
weathering steel can achieve a 120 year design life with only
nominal maintenance. Hence, a well-detailed weathering steel
bridge in an appropriate environment provides an attractive,
very low maintenance, economic solution.
The first weathering steel bridge in the UK was a footbridge at
York University in 1967 and the material was used for many
bridges around the UK in the following 30 years or so.
However, the use of weathering steel on bridges has increased
significantly since 2001 when a former restriction on the use of
the material over highways with less than 7.5m headroom was
removed. It is now the material of choice for a wide range of
bridge decks.
This brochure highlights the benefits of weathering steel for
bridges, describes the limitations on its use, and comments on
both the material availability and the appearance of such
bridges. It also provides advice on a range of issues including
design and detailing, fabrication and installation, inspection and
maintenance, and remedial measures, should corrosion rates
exceed those anticipated at the design stage.

These steels are high strength low alloy steels that under
normal atmospheric conditions give an enhanced resistance
to rusting compared with that of ordinary carbon manganese
steels. Weathering steels are generally specified to
88. EN 10025-5 1, and have similar mechanical properties to
ordinary structural steels to EN 10025-2 2. The most commonly
used grade for bridgeworks in the UK is S355J2W.
2.1 How weathering steel works
In the presence of moisture and air, all low alloy steels have a
tendency to rust, the rate of which depends on the access of
oxygen, moisture and atmospheric contaminants to the metal
surface. As the process progresses, the rust layer forms a
barrier to the ingress of oxygen, moisture and contaminants,
and the rate of rusting slows down.
The rust layers formed on most ordinary structural steels are
porous and detach from the metal surface after a certain time,
and the corrosion cycle commences again. Hence, the rusting
rate progresses as a series of incremental curves approximating
to a straight line, the slope of which depends on the
aggressiveness of the environment.

2. Weathering steel
Weathering steel or weather resistant steel are colloquial
terms used to describe structural steels with improved
atmospheric corrosion resistance.

89. With weathering steel, the rusting process is initiated in the
same way, but the specific alloying elements in the steel
produce a stable rust layer that adheres to the base metal,
and is much less porous. This rust ‘patina’ develops under
conditions of alternate wetting and drying to produce a
protective barrier that impedes further access of oxygen,
moisture, and pollutants. The result is a much lower corrosion
rate than would be found on ordinary structural steel. Refer to
Figure 1 right.
2.2 The metallurgy of weathering steel
The basic metallurgical difference between weathering steel
and ordinary structural steel is the addition of chromium,
copper
and nickel alloying elements, which give the weathering steel
its enhanced resistance to corrosion. Comparison of the
material standards for weathering steel (EN 10025-5 1) and
ordinary structural steel (EN 10025-2 2) shows that the
specification requirements for all other elements in the steel
chemistry are similar.

Benefits of using weathering steel

3. Benefits of using weathering steel
Weathering steel bridges are ideal where access for
future maintenance is difficult or dangerous, and where
traffic disruption needs to be minimised, such as over
major roads or railways.
Conventional steel bridges that take advantage of the latest
advances in automated fabrication and construction
91. techniques are able to provide economic solutions to the
demands of safety, rapid construction, attractive appearance,
shallow construction depth, minimal maintenance, and
flexibility in future use. Weathering steel bridges have all these
qualities, plus the following further benefits.
3.1 Very low maintenance
Periodic inspection and cleaning should be the only
maintenance required to ensure the bridge continues to
perform satisfactorily. Hence, weathering steel bridges are
ideal where access for future maintenance is difficult or
dangerous, and where traffic disruption needs to be
minimised, such as over major roads or railways.
3.2 Cost benefits
Although weathering steel is slightly more expensive than
ordinary structural steel, savings from elimination of the paint
system offsets the additional material cost. Hence, the initial
cost of a weathering steel bridge is very similar to that of a
conventional painted steel alternative. This was illustrated in a
study on eight bridges in the UK 3.
However, weathering steel bridges have the added benefit of
much lower whole life costs. The minimal future maintenance
requirements of weathering steel bridges greatly reduce both
the direct costs of the maintenance operations, and the
indirect costs of traffic delays during maintenance.

92. 3.3 Speed of construction
Overall construction durations are reduced, as both factory
and site painting operations are eliminated.
3.4 Attractive appearance
The attractive appearance of weathering steel bridges often
blends pleasingly with the environment, and improves with age.
3.5 Environmental benefits
The environmental problems associated with Volatile Organic
Compound (VOC) emissions from paint coatings and the
disposal of blast cleaning debris from future maintenance
work, are avoided.
3.6 Safety benefits
With little maintenance, the risks associated with future
maintenance are clearly minimised. The health and safety issues
relating to initial painting are also avoided. Such issues are
particularly relevant to the fabrication and maintenance of steel
box girders, for which weathering steel is becoming
increasingly
specified in order to minimise internal access requirements
(e.g. Toome Bypass, above left).
3.7 Long term performance
Weathering steel bridges have a good track record in the UK.
A study by TRL 4 indicates that weathering steel bridges built
over the last 20 years are generally performing well. Where
problems have been encountered, they have typically been
the direct result of specific faults such as leaking deck joints,
rather than any general inadequacy in corrosion performance.

93. Limitations on use
4. Limitations on use
Weathering steel bridges are suitable for use in
most locations.
However, as with other forms of construction, there are
certain environments that can lead to durability problems.
The performance of weathering steel in extreme
environments will not be satisfactory, and its use should be
avoided in such situations.
4.1 Marine environments
Exposure to high concentrations of chloride ions, originating
from seawater spray, salt fogs or coastal airborne salts, is
detrimental. The hygroscopic nature of salt adversely affects
the ‘patina’ as it maintains a continuously damp environment
on the metal surface. In general, weathering steel should not
be used for bridges within 2km of coastal waters, unless it
can be established that airborne chloride levels do not exceed
the salinity classification of S2 (i.e. cl < 300mg/m 2/day) to
ISO 9223 5.
The guidance that weathering steel should not generally be
used within 2km of coastal water comes from research by
BISRA (British Iron & Steel Research Association) in the mid
1980s. They measured airborne chloride levels at various
distances from the coast at a number of locations around the
UK, and found a dramatic reduction in airborne chloride
levels at a consistent distance of approximately 2km from the
coast. An exercise for CEGB (in relation to transmission
towers) showed similar results.
94. However, it should be noted that the airborne chloride level
(and hence the suitability of weathering steel) depends on the
microclimate at the bridge site (i.e. the local topography and
prevailing wind direction etc.) so this figure of 2km should not
be considered as a fixed limit; it is merely guidance based on
the available data.
4.2 De-icing salt
The use of de-icing salt on roads both over and under
weathering steel bridges may lead to problems in extreme
cases. Such cases include those where salt laden run-off flows
through leaking expansion joints and directly over the steel,
and salt spray from roads under wide bridges where ‘tunnel-
like’ conditions are created. In such extreme cases, local
painting of the vulnerable areas is recommended. However,
salt spray is unlikely to be a problem for most weathering steel
composite overbridges even at standard headrooms of 5.3m,
which are now permitted 6.
‘Tunnel-like’ conditions are produced by a combination of a
narrow depressed road with minimum shoulders between
vertical retaining walls, and a wide bridge with minimum
headroom and full height abutments. Such situations may be
encountered at urban /suburban grade separations. The
extreme geometry prevents roadway spray from being
dissipated by air currents, and it can lead to excessive salt
deposits on the bridge girders.

4.3 Continuously wet/damp conditions
Alternate wet/dry cycles are required for the adherent ‘patina’
95. to form. Where this cannot occur, due to continuously wet or
damp conditions, a corrosion rate similar to that of ordinary
structural steel must be expected. Examples include
weathering steel elements submerged in water, buried in soil
or covered by vegetation. If weathering steel is used in such
cases, it should be painted and the paint should extend above
the level of the water, soil or vegetation.
Damp conditions may be experienced under bridge decks
over water, where they are particularly wide or have a low
clearance. Hence, it is recommended 6 that a minimum
headroom of 2.5m is adopted for crossings over water to
avoid such damp conditions.
4.4 Atmospheric pollution
Weathering steel should not be used in atmospheres where
high concentrations of corrosive chemicals or industrial fumes,
specifically SO2, are present. Such environments with a
pollution classification above P3 to ISO 9223 5 (i.e. SO2 >
200mg/m2/day) would rule out the use of weathering steels.
However, this is an extreme level, which is rarely encountered
today, under present limits on industrial pollution of the
atmosphere.
Concern has been expressed in the past about the effect of
diesel fumes on the long-term performance of a weathering
steel bridge over a railway. Whilst diesel fumes contain
airborne sulphur compounds, within limits they actually have a
beneficial effect in forming insoluble corrosion products by
reacting with the alloying elements in the steel.
Data from Corus research programmes have shown that the
corrosion rates of weathering steel in highly polluted industrial
(sulphur bearing) atmospheres averaged at 2 µm/year
compared to 50 µm/year for conventional structural steel. In
these natural exposure tests, the industrial environment was
96. comparatively extreme, i.e. in close proximity to an industrial
coking plant.
By comparison, a microclimate beneath a bridge as created
from passing trains is unlikely to produce similar environmental
conditions. Increased pollution levels may be anticipated when
locomotives are stationary directly beneath the bridge but it is
unlikely that the duration of exposure and the concentration of
sulphur compounds on the steelwork would exceed the
200mg/m2/day limit. In addition, the slightly oily nature of the
deposits from diesel exhaust fumes may also act as a barrier
to water and reduce corrosion of the steel.

5. Availability of weathering steel
5.1 Plates
S355J0W, S355J2W, S355K2W weathering steel plates to
EN 10025-5 1 are readily available from Corus within the limits
shown in the table (right).
5.2 Sections
Rolled sections are no longer available from Corus in
weathering steel. This does not pose any problem for the
supply of main girders as they can be fabricated from plate
(even with ordinary structural steel, rolled sections are rarely
97. used). However, angles, channels and hollow sections are
often used for bracing elements on ordinary structural steel
bridges, so for weathering steel bridges, alternatives must
be considered.
The possible options are:
1) Use of unpainted ordinary steel for temporary bracing,
which is removed afterwards
2) Use of painted ordinary steel bracing that is left in place
3) Use of plan bracing within the depth of the slab
4) Fabrication of angle and channel sections from weathering
steel plate
Unfortunately, none of these options are ideal. The first option
introduces additional hazards into the construction process
and is generally to be avoided. The second option adds a
maintenance requirement (also with additional hazards).
The third option interferes with the placing of the permanent
formwork and reinforcement and can increase the depth of
slab required. The fourth option is a little more costly (than
using rolled sections) due to the difficulties of fabricating
asymmetric sections. Hence, current industry advice on this
issue is as follows:
5.2.1 Ladder decks
The nature of such bridges is that they only require bracing at
intermediate supports. ‘Knee bracing’ using short lengths of
rolled sections is sometimes used, but the most economic
solution is the use of a deep fabricated ‘I’ girder.
