A website for Bridge Design Concept

2 Upvotes

I remember I had visited a website made by a bridge engineer. He shared design concepts on BS 5400 and Eurocode. Unfortunately I can't find the website. Does anyone know about the website?

** Update: Unfortunately no reply so I guess no one know him. I found out from my portable drives.
David Childs, an UK bridge designer, made http://www.bridgedesign.org.uk (The website is inaccessible now). If someone knows any updates about the website, please leave your comment. Thanks

Open Bridge 3d

1 Upvotes

Have been working as bridge engineer for 4 years. We don’t get lot of design work, now we got design build. I want to take more design task but I also want to do 3d, open bridge. I see no one interested to do this, this has become so bad that I am 3d guy for this project. I see future in 3d modeling but this has taken design task from me. Am I not seeing something here? Should I just try to get design experience as much as possible instead of doing these 3d? Any suggestions would help

Which is better, arched-truss or truss?

2 Upvotes

I am building a bridge model for one of my classes. When conducting my research, I stumbled upon arched-truss bridges. I couldn't find much information on if they'd be stronger than a regular truss bridge due to the arch or not. Could anyone help me?

QUALITY SUBMISSION Horizontal cold joint in post-tensioned I-girder

2 Upvotes

Hello,

At one of our projects, there was a breakdown of concrete batching plant for about 02 hours while casting post tensioned girder (girders poured to about half of height). The contractor ignored the advice of site engineer and poured the remaining concrete without roughening the surface. After removal of formworks, cold joint cracks were visible. Post-tensioning hasn't been done yet.

I cannot find much literation on cold joint in post-tensioned structures. I do not think it is a good idea to do post-tensioning in such condition.

Can you please share your insights.

Kind Regards

As a person who travels often, and as an engineer with a bridge design fetish, I have to say that one of the most impressive bridges my two feet have ever had the pleasure of walking over has been the helic bridge in Singapore 👑

Bridge Shedding Concrete or Normal Wear and Tear?

Thumbnail gallery
2 Upvotes

This bridge is probably 10-15 years old? Is it shedding concrete? What’s the potential danger?

NOTE: I don’t recall this damage being there in the recent past until seeing it today, though it may have been there and I’ve simply had my eyes on the road not wanting to rear and someone or be hit myself.

Does any of you use superSTRESS software?

I am searching for a good manual or guidance with worked examples if there is any. The software itself seems to be outdated a bit but very useful.

Tour for viewing bridges???

1 Upvotes

Thinking about visiting Guizhou province, China since there are obviously quite a few impressive bridges there. Would love to see them in person. Anyone has done just that?

https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202303/1286969.shtml

Would be great if I can see 3d models or construction plans of some of them beforehand but they are obviously nowhere to be found...

QUALITY SUBMISSION Alligators????

1 Upvotes

This is a question for my bridge engineers of reddit. How do you put Bridges an alligator infested waters? Lakes, rivers, etc? I haven’t found this anywhere on the Internet or even reddit, so I guess I’m the only one who’s wondering. The thought process that started this whole scavenger hunt was the fact that I went somewhere that has a little bridge and you could walk out onto the water and look at the turtles and such but there was a whole fkn alligator in there; So naturally this made me wonder, HOW THE HELL is this process done with dangerous animals around???? please lmk or share your experiences.

Hi, we are designing a bridge for a capstone project. I want to ask if which bridge alignment is better for a 255 meter connecting bridge? Both ends aren’t perpendicular that’s why we’re thinking of skew or curved.

Which country are you working in?

Hi there,

Came across this subreddit recently, would be great to bounce ideas off one another when working projects. I live in the UK so use a mixture of the DMRB and Eurocodes for design.

Where are you working? :)
