Abstrait: |
A new technique to temporarily support existing bridges to transport abnormal heavy loads using water-structure interaction is presented. The concept, details and applications of this technique are presented. The method was verified experimentally by a real loading test on an existing bridge. The deflections and strains at different control point are negligible. As a result, and after being approved by the Egyptian general authority of roads, bridges and land transportation (GARBLT), this technique was applied to temporarily support many old bridges crossing waterways during the transport of abnormal loads. |
