ABSTRACT

TI1e objective of this work is to develop a method enabling the optimal design of arch

bridges based on their modal characteristics. The relationship between the span to

rise ratio (H), monolithically connected together at the crown of the arch (M) and

arrangement of column was investigated. Based on two-dimensional analvtical

models of parabolic reinforced concrete arch bridges. the behavior of the arch with

regards to uniform load as dead load, superimposed dead load and HA and HB 30

unit live load were studied.

The load response for moment capacities. shear forces and axial forces of the arch

bridge as a behavior characteristic will be compared. Application of ST AADtt'ro

software has been used to model the arch bridge based on actual data to investigate

the effects of the span to rise ratio (H), monolithically connected together at the

crown of the arch (M) and arrangement of column.

Objckt1 f kaj1an ini di lakukan adalah untuk mem bina satu n1odel mendapatkan

rekabentuk yang optimal bagi jambatan gerbang. ITubungan di antara nisbah panjang

rentang kepada tingg1 jambatan (H), panjang sambungan binaan bersama di puncak

gcrbang yang mana di bina di antara rasuk/papak dan gerbang (M) dan susunan tiang

di selidiki. Berdasarkan model dua-dimensi, kelak.ukan jambatan gerbang konkrit

berbentuk parabohk yang berteraskan beban yang dikenakan iaitu bcban mati. beban

hidup di kaji.

Tindak balas beban seperti moment lentur, daya ricih and daya dalaman digunakan

sebagai pengukur sifat-sifat jambatan gerbang. Aplikasi perisian STAAD!Pro telah

digunakan untuk pen1odelan rekabentuk jan1batan gerbang untuk menyelidiki kesan

kriteria scperti nisbah panjang rentang kepada tinggi jambatan (H), panjang

sambungan binaan bersama di puncak gerbang yang mana di bina di antara

rasuk/papak dan gcrbang (M) dan susunan tiang.

CHAPTER 1 -INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Bridge stn1cture can be classified as the structure that needs thorough design

consideration and constnlction skills. Tt requires a handful of knowledge, experiences

and engineering judgment in order to accomplish the mo t outstanding structure in

tenns of performance, economical durability and aesthetical. The quality of a bridge

can be measured by its success in sati fying the basic objectives, functional ,

stnlctural, economic and ae thetic. Efficient structural design may be expected to

reduce construction cost and maintenance costs. It also improved the functionality of

the bridge by relaxing feasibility constraints by increa ing the service life and by

avoiding interruption in traffic due to maintenance. Excellence in tructural design

is based on a sound knowledge of structural theory, imagination and courage in the

development of new ideas and willingness to benefit from the experience of others.

Traditionally, bridge structure ere designed based on engineering theories and

previous experience, which would involved the preliminary design, structural

analysis and check against strength/stiffness/stability requirements. This is followed

by design modification, re-analysis and re-checking. Undoubtedly, such design

process is expensive and time-consuming. With the rapid development of ad anced

computer technologies, sophisticated optimum design approaches have gained

increasing popularity in recent year a they can significantly impro e the efficiency

of a design. Engineers are often confronted with the problem of choosing the correct

structural dimensions consistent with a safe, cost-effective, aesthetically appealing

balanced design .

The selection of material and structural fom1 for the main superstructure is a complex

problem and can only be determined with regard to all factors affecting the design of

a pmiicular bridge. The choice is a function of the span. It is also influenced by the

quality and cost of materials foundation condition, height to deck surface and

constraints placed by the site on erection. From the practical view, the range of span

for variou · types of superstructures as show in table 1.0

Table 1.1 : Span Lenf,rths for Various Type of Superstructure

Structural Type Range of span(m)

Slab 0 -12 Pseudo slab 10-20 Reinforced beam + slab 15 - 30 Prestressed beam + slab 20-40 Reinforced box girder 30 - 50 Pre tressed box girder 30- 100 Cable stayed 90-290 Concrete arch 90 -300 Steel arch 100 - 500 Suspension 300- 1400

The search for structures which cover long spans and large areas without

intermediate support and which do so using a minimum of materials, has long

occupied the structural engineering profession. The concrete arch bridge one of the

solutions in that problem. Therefore the arch bridge b come popular and more

favour to construct because their plea ing appearance and aesthetic elegance and also

econom1c. conomic in arch design can be achieved mainly by choosing a curve for

the centre line of the rib such that the bending moments due to loading and changes

of temperature and shrinkage is minimum.

Arch bridges are one of the olde t types of bridges and have great natural strength.

Instead of pushing stra ight do> n the weight of an arch b1idge is carried outward

along the curve of the arch to the supports at each end.

In Malaysia, roadways are the most common modes of transportation. These are the

principal form of tTansportation compare to the water and air transport. It is natural

that new roadways and consequently new bridge are being built as part of

infrastructure development work. Based on data from JK.R, the longest steel arch

bridge in Malaysia is Sultan Iskandar Bridge, comprising of seven spans with a total

length of 284m. This bridge was constructed in 1932 and was repaired in 1985.

The historical bridge and know as The Merdeka Bridge to commemorate Malava·s

independence was constructed using tied arch bridge system. where the main

material are concrete. This bridge has 13 spans with total length of 273m and was

reconstructed around 1957 after bombed during the Second World War.

The famous arches bridge is located at Route Bl5 (called as Putrajaya Bridge BRl)

where is a part of upgrading of the route B 15, to allow traffic access between the

road of B 15 and the LD P. the SKVE and Putrajaya which were design based on fixed

system and justified to construct because of their superior aesthetic qualities. The

bridge was completed construct in 1999 and will be chosen as a studying parameter

in this project.
