Abstract: |
This paper will provide a detailed description for the design of a replacement bridge deck for the Dawson Bridge in Edmonton, Alberta including assessment of load carrying capacities for ultimate, fatigue and service loads. Design guidelines developed for simple plate on girder bridges, which provide pre-engineered SPS plate sizes for various truck design loads and girder spacings have been formulated and will be presented herein. Also included are a series of relevant details for plate girder connections, crash barriers, drains, and expansion joints. |
