Project Background – Traffic Management Plan

Marine Drive - Existing Bridges Marine Drive - Existing Bridges

Roadway Design Issues Improve Marine Drive from 2 lanes to 5 lanes with sidewalk Increase Vertical Clearance to 16’-0” or 17’-4” No vertical abutments Single Span desirable Limited time for detours for Marine Drive Roadway alignment shift required to eliminate temporary bridge.

T S & L Design Span Length 130 feet. Replace two existing structures with One. Shallow Superstructure depth to 5’-0”. L/D ratio 26. Review post-tensioning concrete and steel design. Concrete option use 52 inch tubs BR 133.

Construction Issues Post-tensioning Duct Resetting Bearing Closure pour – Special Concrete Segmental Construction Specifications Construction conflict resolution using 3D graphics

Post-Tensioning Duct Size Post-Tensioning Duct Size AVAR ACS 22.6 use 4 inch duct

Wasger Davis S-22.6 use a 4 ½” Duct Size Design Deviation required for duct to web ratio greater than 0.4 AASHTO.

Post-tension Duct & Stressing Duct ratio > 0.4 need a design deviation ask for 0.45 Actual duct ratio is Change P/T location to reduce stresses Use Alternate End Stressing approved. Block out required and planned.

Block out for P/T use mechanical splicing anchors

Reset Bearing after 45 days P/T. What? Can we reduce days down? 30 days? 14 days?

Recommend Using PTFE Elastomeric or Cotton Duck Bearings

Challenges of using Trapezoidal Box Girders Challenges of using Trapezoidal Box Girders Designing complex structure stating using P/T and tracking pre-stressed losses, software. Stage construction, temporary tower locations. Heavy Girders, requiring girder erection plans. Higher construction support, camber and grade control.

Why Use Trapezoidal Box Girders? High span to depth ratio for increase vertical clearance Good replacement for Cast in Place Post-tensioning. Girders are in 6 inch increments for better designs. Conventional Construction techniques. Aesthetics – reduced girders lines and tapered girder Torsional Stiff for curved girder optional
