Project 2c: Alternative and Cost-Effective Bridge Approach Slabs - UMKC |
摘要: |
The goal of this project is to find cost-effective alternative solutions for bridge approach slabs that will be ready for field implementation at the completion of this project. The primary objectives of the proposed study are to: 1) Investigate and recommend alternative design solutions with the aim to reduce the cost of construction of a bridge approach slab, and 2) Develop remedial measures or alternative designs for a replacement. It is clear that the problem of cracking and riding discomfort due to the "bump at the end of the bridge" stems largely from geotechnical considerations. In many instances compaction of soils under uncertain conditions when the bridge is being constructed may not be properly achieved. This study will be focused on cost-effective structural solutions, provided that differential settlements cannot be entirely mitigated by geotechnical solutions. |
