|
|
Concrete slab bridge having 4 nos. of span, each 10.7 m long in the middle span and 10.4 m at the end span. i.e 10.4, 10.7, 10.7, 10.4 respectively resting on two longitudinal beam (400×550 mm) i.e on both side of bridge width. For each span the longitudinal beams are connected by just one cross beam (150×150 mm). This bridge across the barrage is almost 40 years old and need repairing and maintenance. The bridge slab and beams are in good condition except for the railing portion on both side is damage (i.e plaster n embedded rcc steel). In this condition is it advisable to cast 300 mm thick rcc slab on top of the existing slab. The weight of the proposed/new slab is around 30 tonne per span). kindly educate or share your knowledge regarding the feasibility of sustained loading on the existing slab. will the beam be able to sustain the proposed loading on top of existing load?. PFA in pdf for bridge

hi,
the idea seems good
As the increase in load can be compensated by
increase in strength due to combined action of nslab concrete & existing beams ( acting Tee beams )
this aspect should be studied before increase in load ( laying 300mm thk concrete )
and
there must be shear studs like reinforcement ( horizontal shear ) to insure the section act as one (with existing beam & slab and New concrete )
regards

so sir, what would you suggest ?. proposed rcc slab or skin reinforcement or just wearing coat as a repairing. will it be safe to superimposed another load in the form of integrated slab considering the age factor of the bridge ?.
N.B only the sizes of the structure is known. rest is unknown.

Dear sefian,
You have mentioned that only railings on both sides are damaged . Why you need to go for repair of the slab.?. However, If you need to repair the slab , you can put a CC wearing coat with nominal reinforcements to cater to secondary stresses.

thank you sefian, for your valuable suggestion. i was expecting the same.
why?, Because i was under immense pressure from my superior to carry out the execution without proper investigation or evaluation just to solve an urgent matter. in spite of their persistent instruction, i stood firm to my decision not to proceed after giving possible explanation, citing personal investigation, consultation with professors, experts and fellow sefians.

Dear Er.Ronnie Singh
Since the bridge is about 40 years old, it is prudent to inspect the bottom of the bridge carefully. If corrosion is observed in the soffit of the slabs and the beams, remedial actions may be taken along with remedial actions for the handrails

Dear Er.Ronnie Singh
In continuation of my ealier posting, even if corrosion cracks are not visible in the bottom surfaces, half cell potentials should be measured to check whether corrosion cracks are imminent

Thanks for the valuable suggestion, The concerned authority have already taken the remedial action by casting 100 mm thick skin reinforcement on top of the existing slab and repairing of railing etc.
