| Abstrait: |
A common problem in steel bridges is fatigue of orthotropic decks due to heavy traffic demands. Whilst replacing the asphalt with a high strength concrete overlay can solve this problem, it imposes significant additional self-weight. This additional self-weight often requires strengthening of the superstructure which in turn can result in long execution times with associated hindrance and costs. As no existing method addressed these issues Arup engineers developed an innovative solution for Rijkswaterstaat (RWS), the Dutch Highways Authority. The new solution consists of bolting steel plates to the orthotropic steel deck, stiffening it for fatigue. Arup and RHDHV work in a joint venture, the Managing Contractor, on the renovation of steel bridges for and with RWS. |
