Combining a theoretical background with engineering practice,
Design of Steel-Concrete Composite Bridges to Eurocodes covers the
conceptual and detailed design of composite bridges in accordance
with the Eurocodes. Bridge design is strongly based on prescriptive
normative rules regarding loads and their combinations, safety
factors, material properties, analysis methods, required
verifications, and other issues that are included in the codes.
Composite bridges may be designed in accordance with the Eurocodes,
which have recently been adopted across the European Union. This
book centers on the new design rules incorporated in the
EN-versions of the Eurocodes. The book addresses the design for a
majority of composite bridge superstructures and guides readers
through the selection of appropriate structural bridge systems. It
introduces the loads on bridges and their combinations, proposes
software supported analysis models, and outlines the required
verifications for sections and members at ultimate and
serviceability limit states, including fatigue and plate buckling,
as well as seismic design of the deck and the bearings. It presents
the main types of common composite bridges, discusses structural
forms and systems, and describes preliminary design aids and
erection methods. It provides information on railway bridges, but
through the design examples makes road bridges the focal point.
This text includes several design examples within the chapters,
explores the structural details, summarizes the relevant design
codes, discusses durability issues, presents the properties for
structural materials, concentrates on modeling for global analysis,
and lays down the rules for the shear connection. It presents
fatigue analysis and design, fatigue load models, detail
categories, and fatigue verifications for structural steel,
reinforcement, concrete, and shear connectors. It also covers
structural bearings and dampers, with an emphasis on reinforced
elastomeric bearings. The book is appropriate for structural
engineering students, bridge designers or practicing engineers
converting from other codes to Eurocodes.
