Definitions
- This invention is a new method to achieve composite action between girders and a concrete slab, as well as within the slab itself.
- the invention may be used for car-, railroad-, bicycle- and pedestrian bridges or similar structures.
- a bridge small, average or great, is usually composed of two parallel main girders, extended from one abutment to another, directly or via a number of intermediate supports.
- the girders carry a bridge deck for the relevant traffic, its load being transmitted to ground via the girders and the bridge supports.
- the bridge deck, connected to the bridge girders consists of structures made of timber, steel or concrete or a combination of these materials, and it is usually covered by a surfacing of bitumen or concrete.
- a concrete bridge deck is usually fabricated in a mould, which may be prefabricated or built in situ, fixed directly to the main girders.
- traditional scaffolding is used for small and medium sized bridges, and prefabricated scaffolding for large bridges.
- the scaffolding may either extend along the complete length of the bridge, or be built for each new section of the bridge slab which is to be produced. Suitable connectors may then be cast into the slab on this occasion. Reinforcing bars have to be accurately fixed before casting, both inside the mould and around connectors welded to the girders. By these means the concrete slab can accomodate shear forces and take part in composite action with the bridge girders. This method to achieve composite action between bridge deck and bridge girders makes production steps cost consuming, time consuming, and dangerous. State of the art
- the traditional way of carrying the load to the main girders is to let reinforcing bars in the concrete slab carry the tensile forces of the bending moment.
- the slab is generally too thin to allow shear reinforcement to be used. In order to carry transverse forces from wheel loads and other loads, it must therefore be made extensively thick.
- An alternative way of carrying tensile forces from bending moments is to use lost scaffolding made of corrugated steel sheet, with intrusions or extrusions supposed to grip to the bottom surface of the concrete slab. This method is not generally accepted, and is not used for road bridges.
- girder bridges One traditional way of making girder bridges is to design the slab with reinforcement that rigidly connects the slab to massive concrete girders. Another common way is to use steel girders, e.g. I-girders where the top flange is connected to a flexible web below.
- steel girders e.g. I-girders where the top flange is connected to a flexible web below.
- the former construction is complicated and cost consuming to build. The latter leads to extensive temperature movements at non-consistent weather conditions, and requires bracing and care at execution.
- the aim of the invention is to provide an overall solution to the actual problem.
- the invention is a new way to combine structural elements from other applications with purely new designed elements in order to manage both load transmission from the girders to the slab and load transmission within the slab itself. With the invention, speed, economi, and safety in execution of the job are achieved.
- the case profile is designed with a substantially plane bottom flange, edge flanges extending from the bottom flange on both sides almost perpendicularly upwards and inwards or vertically upwards, then inwards and upwards inclined and preferably symmetrically extended top flanges, which are terminated by vertical upwards extended top parts with cuts, open at the top, for reinforcing bars.
- the inwards and upwards inclined flanges constitute support for the jig that is used for drilling through both the case profile and the girder flange.
- the plane bottom flange makes it possible to mount the required number of special bolts.
- the shape of the case profile, and the fact that it is pressed against the adjacent profile by a special tool, makes it possible both to transmit contact force between the case profiles and to transmit force from the bottom corner of the case by means of multiaxial pressure in the concrete.
- Space between the bottom of the case profile and the girder may be closed by an adhesive or an elastic sealant in string form or as a coating.
- the load transmission within the slab is improved by the invention in the following way.
- the inferior capacity of the concrete to carry transverse forces is replaced by the composite load carrying capacity of the profile's edge flanges, upwards inclined top flanges and upwards extended top parts. Due to this fact, the slab may be made thinner than usual. Shear forces between steel and concrete are effectively transmitted by mechanical contact between the vertical edges of the cuts and the reinforcing bars.
- the profile's elongated shape in the vertical direction makes the forces to be transmitted at the approximate level where the resultant compressive force of the concrete is situated.
- the thickness of the case profile is so great that all tensile reinforcement at the bottom of the slab in the transverse direction of the bridge is substituted by the bottom flange of the case profile itself.
- the advantage of the concrete-beam-bridge to compensate temperature changes is obtained, which often leads to simpler and cheaper abutments, bearings and joints.
- a construction with good torsion resistance and stability is obtained, with or without concrete filling.
- the advantages of the steel-girder-bridge; low weight and a high level of prefabrication are also obtained.
- the special bolted connection in combination with the dimensions and the shape of the case profiles, leads o complete composite action between girders and slab in the longitudinal direction of the bridge, whereupon the connection may be designed so flexible that it can carry horizontal forces and moments from the girders without harmful constraint in the case profiles and bolts.
- Figure 1 shows a bridge deck and its composition
- Figure 2 shows a bolted connection of a case profile to a main girder, including a spacer plate, and a reinforcing bar put in a cut of the profile.
- Figure 3 shows the thread-forming bolt with the hardened end and an example of a spacer.
- Figure 4 shows a special tool used to press the case profiles together at execution.
- Figure 5 shows a steel girder with I-section. In the top flange is a blind hole made .
- Figure 6 shows a steel girder with two webs . In the top flange are through holes made. s
- Figure 7 shows how the shear from the bolts is transmitted by local concrete stress to the slab.
- Figure 8 shows how the edge beam is connected to the case profiles by self-tapping screws.
- Figure 9 shows how the shear in the web of the case profile, without adhesion can build necessary compressive bending stress in the concrete slab.
- Figure 10 shows how horizontal forces act on the concrete slab at composite action with the main girders.
- Figure 11 shows how the internal lever arm of the slab is greater than in a conventional concrete slab with tensile stress at the bottom.
- Figure 12 shows how the internal lever arm of the slab is greater than in a conventional concrete slab with compressive stress at the bottom.
- Figure 13 shows that the deck by a certain arrangement of the bolts is elastically restrained by the girders in a controlled fashion, since the cross section of the case profile may be elastically deformed.
- Figure 14 shows an example of sealing between a case profile and a girder. Description of applications
- a cross section of a bridge may look like Fig 1.
- a concrete slab (1) cast on top of the bridge girders (3) is a concrete slab (1) cast.
- the concrete (17) is cast in case profiles (2) transverse to the girders (3) and bolted to these.
- the case profiles (2), cantilevering from the girders are terminated by an edge beam (Fig 8).
- an impermeable sealing layer (19) situated on top of the slab.
- profiles made of steel (2) are bolted to the girders (3) .
- the profiles (2) are designed with a substantially plane bottom flange (8), edge flanges (9) extending from the bottom flange on both sides almost perpendicularly upwards and inwards or vertically upwards, then inwards and upwards inclined and preferably symmetrically extended top flanges (10), which are terminated by vertical upwards extended top parts (11) with cuts (12), open at the top, for reinforcing bars (13).
- a spacer is mounted, on the picture shown as a template (6) , the meaning of which is to accurately fix the bolts (4) in order to get the right flexibility.
- the profile (2) distributes the forces to the width of the bridge and transmit the forces to the slab (Fig 10) by contact pressure (Fig 7) .
- Alternative spacers (7) may be used.
- Space between the bottom of the profile and the top of the girder may be closed by an adhesive or an elastic sealant (Fig 14).
- the task of the reinforcement (13) is, according to Fig 9, both to secure composite action between the concrete (17) and the steel profiles (2) , and to be reinforcement in the longitudinal direction of the bridge.
- the profiles (2) are mounted and the reinforcement job is finished the deck is poured with concrete (17). Finally a sealing layer (19) of wearing concrete or bitumen is applied.
- the case profile (2) is made of steel plate in the thickness range 4 to 7 mm.
- the total depth of the profile (2) may be 110 to 130 mm, the depth from the symmetric inclined flange (10) to the bottom flange is 80 to 100 mm and the total width of of the profile is 400 to 450 mm.
- the punched cuts (12) in the finishing top part of the profile are spaced 50 mm apart. The edges of the cuts are vertical and horizontal.
- the bolt in quality 10.9 is metric M12 - M16.
- the method for composite action with the bolted connection described and steel profiles mounted on girders may also be used for similar structures, such as parking decks and floor structures for heavy trucks.
