College of Civil Engineering, Nanjing University of Technology, Nanjing 210009, ChinaIn developing countries，rural road construction is mostly cumbered by shortage of funds. Engineers concerns most in rural areas is how to build roads which not only cost less but also meet the traffic demands. Especially in vast rural areas of China, there are a great variety of transportation patterns, and the traffic composition is very complex. Compared with other countries，the traffic composition in China rural areas have its own features. Therefore，there is no experience about the rural roads construction for reference. In recent years，the central government of China has increased the strength for rural road construction. At the same time，a lot of researches about rural road construction have been done by researchers in China, and some conclusions about china rural roads have been made. In the authors' opinion，the selection of the pavement structure material is the key measure to reduce the construction cost of rural roads after the route has been determined. Compared with concrete pavement，asphalt pavement relatively costs less and is the first choice for rural roads in China. And then，according to the research achievements about rural roads construction，the authors have done some preliminary researches on the structure design for low-cost asphalt pavements for rural roads.1 Traffic Composition of Rural RoadRural roads include county roads，town roads and village roads.The traffic on rural roads is usually mixed. On a county road, traffic volume is between 300 to 1500 veh/d in average，and in a county with a developed economy，it reaches 1000 to 2 000 veh/d. The traffic volume between county and town is 100 to 300 veh/d，and the traffic volume between towns is usually less than 100 to 300 veh/d. In a mixed traffic flow，trucks account for 40% to 70% of the traffic volume, which are mainly light trucks carrying less than 2. 5 tons(including agricultural vehicles such as electro-tricycles，walking tractors etc.)and medium-size trucks of 2. 5 to 5 tons. Most of these light or medium trucks are overloaded. The proportion of heavy truck is less than 9%.On some roads to counties，the proportion ofoverloaded trucks is 5% to 32 %，while on some county roads connecting to national or provincial trunk highways，the proportion of overloaded vehicles usually amounts to 20% to 32% .The traffic volume on rural roads is not heavy. However，considering the practical situation in China, as well as the exitence of overloaded vehicles，100kN，or BZZ-100 was adopted as standard axle load in the research.The pavement deflection or the flexural-tensile stress at the bottom of asphalt surface is taken as the design parameter. The axle load was calculated in和-the axle weight of an i-level axle in kN and the action frequency;-the axle weight of standard axle in 100 kN and the action frequency;If the distance between axles is less than 3 m，axle loads are calculated asa double-axle or multi-axle loads，andIf the flexural-tensile stress at the bottom of semi-rigid base is taken as the design parameter, the axle load is calculated in accordance with the following formula:If the distance between axles is less than 3m，2 Traffic V olume on Rural RoadsMinibuses are adopted as the standard vehicle for the design of rural roads. Table 1 shows its external dimensions.Table 1 External dimensions of the passenger car mLength Width Height Front overhang Distance between axles Rear overhang6.0 1.8 2.0 0.8 3.8 1.4The typical vehicle types on rural roads are listed in Table 2. And others such as non-power-driven vehicles，animal-drawn vehicles，and bicycles can be taken into account in the calculation of traffic volume on rural roads，in view of their roadside interference.In accordance with the traffic composition and volumes ，rural roads are divided into five grades. The traffic volume of each grade is shown in Table 3.Traffic volume specified in Table 3 was obtained by taking the minibus as the standard vehicle type,and converting different types vehicles according to the vehicle conversion coefficients given in Table 2.In Table 3，()[]ηγγ11365-+=t s e N NNe refers to the cumulative equivalent axle load action frequency;Ns refers to the equivalent axle load action frequency in the designed traffic lane in the beginning operation period of rural roads;y refers to the average annual growth rate of traffic volume;η refers to lane coefficient, and 1.0 for a single lane and 0. 6一0. 7 for a dual lane.3 Strength of RoadbedThe modulus of resilience of roadbed varies greatly. For convenience ，the strength of roadbed can be divided into four classes according to its moisture content and modulus of resilience ，as shown in Table 4.The parameters in Table 5 are determined by combining design principles with practical experience. By applying elastic multilayer theory to the pavement structure specified in Table 5，the influence of Ne on the pavement thickness of rural roads was analyzed ，and the result show that for given h ，h2，E0，the roadbase thickness for neighboring traffic classes changes in a range of 4-5 cm. This result indicates that the classification of traffic volume on rural roads shown in Table 3 is reasonable and feasible in terms of the design and construction of asphalt pavement structures. By using the elastic multilayer theory ，the asphalt pavement structure of ordinary rural road in Table 5 is analyzed. When Ne ，the cumulative equivalent axle load action frequency ，the thickness of road surface(h =3 cm)，and the thickness of subbase(h2 = 20 cm ) remain the same , the influence of neighboring roadbed strength classifications on the thickness of roadbase is 3 cm 一5 cm. This conclusion indicates that the strength classification of roadbed is reasonable and applicable to the design and construction of asphalt pavement structure.4 Determination of Thicknesses of Asphalt Pavement StructureSensitivity analysis of the design parameters of roadbed and pavement structures isto find out the relationship between structural strength of asphalt pavement structure and the design parameters of each layer, and determine the most sensitive layer in the pavement structure. The asphalt pavement structure of rural roads is generally composed of a road surface, a roadbase，and a subbase，as shown in Table 6. The pavement structure was analyzed according to elastic multiplayer theory under the double circular uniform load，with an assumption that there is continuous contact between the adjacent layers of the asphalt pavement structure. The basic parameters used in the calculation and analysis of asphalt pavement structure are listed in Table 7. By analyzing the effects of the change of all the parameters of pavement structure on the distortion of the road surface，roadbase，and roadbed , the following conclusions have been drawn.(1)Increasing the thickness of the road surface effectively decreases the road surface deflection，but raises the cost. The comparatively economical and effective method is to increase the thickness of the subbase, which is superior to increasing the thickness of roadbase，while increasing the thickness of the road surface is the last choice.(2)As the thickness of pavement structure increases，the change of road surface deflection will trend to be gentle. When the thickness of road surface reaches a certain value，the variance in the road surface deflection will not be obvious，and then it is ineffective to enhance the bearing capacity of asphalt pavement structure by increasing the thickness of road surface. It is recommended that the thicknesses of the roadbase and the subbase should be equal to or largerthan 18 and 20 cm, respectively，in design of asphalt pavement structures of rural roads. Fig. 1 shows the effects of the changes in the thickness of each layer on road surface deflection.(3)Road surface deflection is very sensitive to the change of modulus of the roadbed. The increase in the modulus of roadbase or subbase is also effective to decrease the deflection of the road surface. On the other hand，the deflection of the road surface decreases gradually when the modulus of the surface increases，being the least effective factor. When the modulus of the road surface increases to a certain value，decrease in road surface deflection is not apparent. Fig. 2 shows the effect of the modulus of each layer on road surface deflection. From the above discussion，we conclude that the most sensitive layer for road surface deflection is subbase，and the next is roadbase. To decrease the road surface deflection of low-cost rural roads，thestrength and stability of the roadbed should be enhanced, and the materials with a certain thickness and relatively high density should be used to pave the subbase.The traffic volume or the accumulative equivalent axle load action times(frequency)within the designed life of road is used to determine the type and thickness of the asphalt pavement road surface, and the results are listed in Table 8，where veh/d means the number of the equivalent the passenger cars per day.For a low traffic volume rural road with Ne 500 000，graded broken stones(or gravel)can be used as a flexible base. The flexible base has good strength and effectively prevents reflection cracks of the asphalt pavement road surface, provided the graded broken stones(or gravel ) meets the requirements for high density(degree of compaction ,100%. To ensure the sufficient strength and stability of the flexible base，its thickness is not less than 15 cm，the thickness of the aggregate subbase is not less than 20 cm，A semi-rigid base usually has a good bearing capacity For the rural roads with Ne)500 000，or those with low traffic volumes but relatively,the minimum thickness of semirigid base or subbase is 16-18 cm5 Calculation of the Thickness of Road Surface5.1 Deflection(1)Road surface deflectionRoad surface deflection is a vertical distortion caused by vertical load on the road surface. It not only reflects the whole strength and stiffness of asphalt pavement structure and roadbed，but also has a close internal relation with the service condition of the pavement.(2)Design deflectionThe design deflection is the index representing the stiffness of the pavement structure. It is also the deflection of the pavement which is established according to the accumulative equivalent axle load estimated to pass over a lane in the expected design life, road types, road classification，and the types of road surface and roadbase. The design deflection is not only the main basis for the design thickness of the pavement structure，but also the necessary index for the examination and acceptance of the project. Through theoretical analysis and experimental study，formulas for the design deflection value which are applicable to the pavement structure design of lowcost rural roads are as follows:semi-rigid base:flexible base:where A, is the type coefficient of the road surface. The type coefficient of asphalt concrete road surface is 1.0;that of hot-mix asphalt macadam and that of emulsified asphalt macadam road surface are all 1. 1; and that of asphalt surface treatment road surface is1 .2.(3)Allowable deflectionAllowable deflection is the maximum deflectionallowed at the end of the road's service life under lim-iting conditions in poor season. Through thoreticalanalysis and experimental study，the calculation for-mulas for the allowable deflection of road surfacewhich are applicable to the pavement structure designof low-cost rural roads are as follows}2}:When designing the asphalt pavement structure of low-cost rural roads, we should use formula (6) or (7 ) according to the types of roadbase to determine the thickness of asphalt pavement structure.5.2 Tensile stressBecause the asphalt pavement structure of lowcost rural roads is not substantial enough and the heavy vehicles are allowed to pass over them, the maximum tensile stress should be checked by computing the stresses of the semi-rigid base and subbase. The tensile stress at the bottom of semi-rigid base or subbase，would be less than or equivalent to the allowable tensile stress of the materials of the semirigid base or subbase , namely，For the stabilized aggregate base with an inorganic binder-For the stabilized fine-grained soil base with an inorganic binder:5.3 Pavement thicknessTo make it simple and convenient for engineers to determine the desired thickness of rural road pavement, the curves of the thickness of the roadbase of low-cost rural roads according to typical pavement structures and accumulative frequency of equivalent axle load are shown in Figs. 3，4 and 5.(1)When the accumulative frequency of equivalent axle load is within 500000 times per lane，asphalttreated or asphalt penetrated surfaces with thickness of 1. 5 cm 一cm is recommended for road surface. For various accumulative equivalent axle loads and the moduli(Eo)of roadbed，the equivalent thickness of roadbase is shown in Fig. 3.(2)When the accumulative frequency of equivalent axle load is within 500 001)一1 000 000 times per lane，asphalt macadam or asphalt concrete with thickness of 3 cm -5 cm is recommended. For various accumulative equivalent axle loads and moduli(Eo)of roadbed，the equivalent thickness of roadbase is shown in Fig. 4.(3)When the accumulative frequency of equivalent axle load is within 1000 000-2 000 000 times per lane，asphalt concrete road surface of 5 cm-7 cm thick is recommended. For various accumulative equivalent axle loads and moduli(Eo)of roadbed , the equivalent thickness of roadbase is shown in Fig.S.In Figs.3-5，Ld is the designed deflection, Lo is the representative deflection of roadbed，E, is the modulus of resilience of the roadbase，in MPa , Eo is the modulus of resilience of the roadbed，in MPa ,and H, in cm，is the equivalent thickness of the base (roadbase and subbase)，which can be obtained through calculation and in-site investigation for a trilevel-pavement roads(including road surface，base and roadbed).If a designed road has four layers，i.e. a subbase is added，according to the regression analysis of the extrapolated results of a number of multi-layer flexible systems and the available research findings，the thickness of the roadbase , h,，in cm, can be calculated from the following equation:6 Concluding RemarksCompared with concrete pavement, asphalt pavements have a lowerconstruction cost, which is suitable for the roads in relatively underdeveloped rural areas in China. The research in this paper proposed a method for structural design of low cost asphalt pavements. The method is to provide an guideline for the design of asphalt pavement structure in rural areas.References[1]Yuan G L , Zhang F , Chen S W , et al.

附录一英文翻译原文AUTOMATIC DEFLECTION AND TEMPERATURE MONITORING OFA BALANCED CANTILEVER CONCRETE BRIDGEby Olivier BURDET, Ph.D.Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Lausanne, SwitzerlandInstitute of Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete SUMMARYThere is a need for reliable monitoring systems to follow the evolution of the behavior of structures over time.Deflections and rotations are values that reflect the overall structure behavior. This paper presents an innovative approach to the measurement of long-term deformations of bridges by use of inclinometers. High precision electronic inclinometers can be used to follow effectively long-term rotations without disruption of the traffic. In addition to their accuracy, these instruments have proven to be sufficiently stable over time and reliable for field conditions. The Mentue bridges are twin 565 m long box-girder post-tensioned concrete highway bridges under construction in Switzerland. The bridges are built by the balanced cantilever method over a deep valley. The piers are 100 m high and the main span is 150 m. A centralized data acquisition system was installed in one bridge during its construction in 1997. Every minute, the system records the rotation and temperature at a number of measuring points. The simultaneous measurement of rotations and concrete temperature at several locations gives a clear idea of the movements induced by thermal conditions. The system will be used in combination with a hydrostatic leveling setup to follow the long-term behavior of the bridge. Preliminary results show that the system performs reliably and that the accuracy of the sensors is excellent.Comparison of the evolution of rotations and temperature indicate that the structure responds to changes in air temperature rather quickly.1.BACKGROUNDAll over the world, the number of structures in service keeps increasing. With the development of traffic and the increased dependence on reliable transportation, it is becoming more and more necessary to foresee and anticipate the deterioration of structures. In particular,for structures that are part of major transportation systems, rehabilitation works need to be carefully planned in order to minimize disruptions of traffic. Automatic monitoring of structures is thus rapidly developing.Long-term monitoring of bridges is an important part of this overall effort to attempt to minimize both the impact and the cost of maintenance and rehabilitation work of major structures. By knowing the rate of deterioration of a given structure, the engineer is able to anticipate and adequately define the timing of required interventions. Conversely, interventions can be delayed until the condition of the structure requires them, without reducing the overall safety of the structure.The paper presents an innovative approach to the measurement of long-term bridge deformations. The use of high precision inclinometers permits an effective, accurate and unobtrusive following of the long-term rotations. The measurements can be performed under traffic conditions. Simultaneous measurement of the temperature at several locations gives a clear idea of the movements induced by thermal conditions and those induced by creep and shrinkage. The system presented is operational since August 1997 in the Mentue bridge, currently under construction in Switzerland. The structure has a main span of 150 m and piers 100 m high.2. LONG-TERM MONITORING OF BRIDGESAs part of its research and service activities within the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne (EPFL), IBAP - Reinforced and Prestressed Concrete has been involved in the monitoring of long-time deformations of bridges and other structures for over twenty-five years [1, 2, 3, 4]. In the past, IBAP has developed a system for the measurement of long-term deformations using hydrostatic leveling [5, 6]. This system has been in successful service in ten bridges in Switzerland for approximately ten years [5,7]. The system is robust, reliable and sufficiently accurate, but it requires human intervention for each measurement, and is not well suited for automatic data acquisition. One additional disadvantage of this system is that it is only easily applicable to box girder bridges with an accessible box.Occasional continuous measurements over periods of 24 hours have shown that the amplitude of daily movements is significant, usually amounting to several millimeters over a couple of hours. This is exemplified in figure 1, where measurements of the twin Lutrive bridges, taken over a period of several years before and after they were strengthened by post-tensioning, areshown along with measurements performed over a period of 24 hours. The scatter observed in the data is primarily caused by thermal effects on the bridges. In the case of these box-girder bridges built by the balanced cantilever method, with a main span of 143.5 m, the amplitude of deformations on a sunny day is of the same order of magnitude than the long term deformation over several years.Instantaneous measurements, as those made by hydrostatic leveling, are not necessarily representative of the mean position of the bridge. This occurs because the position of the bridge at the time of the measurement is influenced by the temperature history over the past several hours and days. Even if every care was taken to perform the measurements early in the morning and at the same period every year, it took a relatively long time before it was realized that the retrofit performed on the Lutrive bridges in 1988 by additional post-tensioning [3, 7,11] had not had the same effect on both of them.Figure 1: Long-term deflections of the Lutrive bridges, compared to deflections measured in a 24-hour period Automatic data acquisition, allowing frequent measurements to be performed at an acceptable cost, is thus highly desirable. A study of possible solutions including laser-based leveling, fiber optics sensors and GPS-positioning was performed, with the conclusion that, provided that their long-term stability can be demonstrated, current types of electronic inclinometers are suitable for automatic measurements of rotations in existing bridges [8].3. MENTUE BRIDGESThe Mentue bridges are twin box-girder bridges that will carry the future A1 motorway from Lausanne to Bern. Each bridge, similar in design, has an overall length of approximately 565 m, and a width of 13.46 m, designed to carry two lanes of traffic and an emergency lane. The bridges cross a deep valley with steep sides (fig. 2). The balanced cantilever design results from a bridge competition. The 100 m high concrete piers were built using climbing formwork, after which the construction of the balanced cantilever started (fig. 3).4. INCLINOMETERSStarting in 1995, IBAP initiated a research project with the goal of investigating the feasibility of a measurement system using inclinometers. Preliminary results indicated that inclinometers offer several advantages for the automatic monitoring of structures. Table 1 summarizes the main properties of the inclinometers selected for this study.One interesting property of measuring a structure’s rotations, is that, for a given ratio of maximum deflection to span length, the maximum rotation is essentially independent from its static system [8]. Since maximal allowable values of about 1/1,000 for long-term deflections under permanent loads are generally accepted values worldwide, developments made for box-girder bridges with long spans, as is the case for this research, are applicable to other bridges, for instance bridges with shorter spans and other types of cross-sections. This is significant because of the need to monitor smaller spans which constitute the majority of all bridges.The selected inclinometers are of type Wyler Zerotronic ±1°[9]. Their accuracy is 1 microradian (μrad), which corresponds to a rotation of one millimeter per kilometer, a very small value. For an intermediate span of a continuous beam with a constant depth, a mid-span deflection of 1/20,000 would induce a maximum rotation of about 150 μrad, or 0.15 milliradians (mrad).One potential problem with electronic instruments is that their measurements may drift overtime. To quantify and control this problem, a mechanical device was designed allowing the inclinometers to be precisely rotated of 180° in an horizontal plane (fig. 4). The drift of each inclinometer can be very simply obtained by comparing the values obtained in the initial and rotated position with previously obtained values. So far, it has been observed that the type of inclinometer used in this project is not very sensitive to drifting.5. INSTRUMENTATION OF THE MENTUE BRIDGESBecause a number of bridges built by the balanced cantilever method have shown an unsatisfactory behavior in service [2, 7,10], it was decided to carefully monitor the evolution of the deformations of the Mentue bridges. These bridges were designed taking into consideration recent recommendations for the choice of the amount of posttensioning [7,10,13]. Monitoring starting during the construction in 1997 and will be pursued after the bridges are opened to traffic in 2001. Deflection monitoring includes topographic leveling by the highway authorities, an hydrostatic leveling system over the entire length of both bridges and a network of inclinometers in the main span of the North bridge. Data collection iscoordinated by the engineer of record, to facilitate comparison of measured values. The information gained from these observations will be used to further enhance the design criteria for that type of bridge, especially with regard to the amount of post-tensioning [7, 10, 11, 12, 13].The automatic monitoring system is driven by a data acquisition program that gathers and stores the data. This system is able to control various types of sensors simultaneously, at the present time inclinometers and thermal sensors. The computer program driving all the instrumentation offers a flexible framework, allowing the later addition of new sensors or data acquisition systems. The use of the development environment LabView [14] allowed to leverage the large user base in the field of laboratory instrumentation and data analysis. The data acquisition system runs on a rather modest computer, with an Intel 486/66 Mhz processor, 16 MB of memory and a 500 MB hard disk, running Windows NT. All sensor data are gathered once per minute and stored in compressed form on the hard disk. The system is located in the box-girder on top of pier 3 (fig. 5). It can withstand severe weather conditions and will restart itself automatically after a power outage, which happened frequently during construction.6. SENSORSFigure 5(a) shows the location of the inclinometers in the main span of the North bridge. The sensors are placed at the axis of the supports (①an d⑤), at 1/4 and 3/4 (③an d④) of the span and at 1/8 of the span for②. In the cross section, the sensors are located on the North web, at a height corresponding to the center of gravity of the section (fig.5a). The sensors are all connected by a single RS-485 cable to the central data acquisition system located in the vicinity of inclinometer ①. Monitoring of the bridge started already during its construction. Inclinometers①,②and③were installed before the span was completed. The resulting measurement were difficult to interpret, however, because of the wide variations of angles induced by the various stages of this particular method of construction.The deflected shape will be determined by integrating the measured rotations along the length of the bridge (fig.5b). Although this integration is in principle straightforward, it has been shown [8, 16] that the type of loading and possible measurement errors need to be carefully taken into account.Thermal sensors were embedded in concrete so that temperature effects could be taken into account for the adjustment of the geometry of the formwork for subsequent casts. Figure 6 shows the layout of thermal sensors in the main span. The measurement sections are located at the same sections than the inclinometers (fig. 5). All sensors were placed in the formwork before concreting and were operational as soon as the formwork was removed, which was required for the needs of the construction. In each section, seven of the nine thermal sensor (indicated in solid black in fig. 6) are now automatically measured by the central data acquisition system.7. RESULTSFigure 7 shows the results of inclinometry measurements performed from the end ofSeptember to the third week of November 1997. All inclinometers performed well during that period. Occasional interruptions of measurement, as observed for example in early October are due to interruption of power to the system during construction operations. The overall symmetry of results from inclinometers seem to indicate that the instruments drift is not significant for that time period. The maximum amplitude of bridge deflection during the observed period, estimated on the basis of the inclinometers results, is around 40 mm. More accurate values will be computed when the method of determination ofdeflections will have been further calibrated with other measurements. Several periods of increase, respectively decrease, of deflections over several days can be observed in the graph. This further illustrates the need for continuous deformation monitoring to account for such effects. The measurement period was .busy. in terms of construction, and included the following operations: the final concrete pours in that span, horizontal jacking of the bridge to compensate some pier eccentricities, as well as the stressing of the continuity post-tensioning, and the de-tensioning of the guy cables (fig. 3). As a consequence, the interpretation of these measurements is quite difficult. It is expected that further measurements, made after the completion of the bridge, will be simpler to interpret.Figure 8 shows a detail of the measurements made in November, while figure.9 shows temperature measurements at the top and bottom of the section at mid-span made during that same period. It is clear that the measured deflections correspond to changes in the temperature. The temperature at the bottom of the section follows closely variations of the air temperature(measured in the shade near the north web of the girder). On the other hand, the temperature at the top of the cross section is less subject to rapid variations. This may be due to the high elevation of the bridge above ground, and also to the fact that, during the measuring period, there was little direct sunshine on the deck. The temperature gradient between top and bottom of the cross section has a direct relationship with short-term variations. It does not, however, appear to be related to the general tendency to decrease in rotations observed in fig. 8.8. FUTURE DEVELOPMENTSFuture developments will include algorithms to reconstruct deflections from measured rotations. To enhance the accuracy of the reconstruction of deflections, a 3D finite element model of the entire structure is in preparation [15]. This model will be used to identify the influence on rotations of various phenomena, such as creep of the piers and girder, differential settlements, horizontal and vertical temperature gradients or traffic loads.Much work will be devoted to the interpretation of the data gathered in the Mentue bridge. The final part of the research project work will focus on two aspects: understanding the very complex behavior of the structure, and determining the most important parameters, to allow a simple and effective monitoring of the bridges deflections.Finally, the research report will propose guidelines for determination of deflections from measured rotations and practical recommendations for the implementation of measurement systems using inclinometers. It is expected that within the coming year new sites will be equipped with inclinometers. Experiences made by using inclinometers to measure deflections during loading tests [16, 17] have shown that the method is very flexible and competitive with other high-tech methods.As an extension to the current research project, an innovative system for the measurement of bridge joint movement is being developed. This system integrates easily with the existing monitoring system, because it also uses inclinometers, although from a slightly different type.9. CONCLUSIONSAn innovative measurement system for deformations of structures using high precision inclinometers has been developed. This system combines a high accuracy with a relatively simple implementation. Preliminary results are very encouraging and indicate that the use of inclinometers to monitor bridge deformations is a feasible and offers advantages. The system is reliable, does not obstruct construction work or traffic and is very easily installed. Simultaneous temperature measurements have confirmed the importance of temperature variations on the behavior of structural concrete bridges.10.

中英文对照外文翻译(文档含英文原文和中文翻译)Bridge research in EuropeA brief outline is given of the development of the European Union, together withthe research platform in Europe. The special case of post-tensioned bridges in the UK is discussed. In order to illustrate the type of European research being undertaken, an example is given from the University of Edinburgh portfolio: relating to the identification of voids in post-tensioned concrete bridges using digital impulse radar.IntroductionThe challenge in any research arena is to harness the findings of different research groups to identify a coherent mass of data, which enables research and practice to be better focused. A particular challenge exists with respect to Europe where language barriers are inevitably very significant. The European Community was formed in the 1960s based upon a political will within continental Europe to avoid the European civil wars, which developed into World War 2 from 1939 to 1945. The strong political motivation formed the original community of which Britain was not a member. Many of the continental countries saw Britain’s interest as being purelyeconomic. The 1970s saw Britain joining what was then the European Economic Community (EEC) and the 1990s has seen the widening of the community to a European Union, EU, with certain political goals together with the objective of a common European currency.Notwithstanding these financial and political developments, civil engineering and bridge engineering in particular have found great difficulty in forming any kind of common thread. Indeed the educational systems for University training are quite different between Britain and the European continental countries. The formation of the EU funding schemes —e.g. Socrates, Brite Euram and other programs have helped significantly. The Socrates scheme is based upon the exchange of students between Universities in different member states. The Brite Euram scheme has involved technical research grants given to consortia of academics and industrial partners within a number of the states—— a Brite Euram bid would normally be led by partners within a number of the statesan industrialist.In terms of dissemination of knowledge, two quite different strands appear to have emerged. The UK and the USA have concentrated primarily upon disseminating basic research in refereed journal publications: ASCE, ICE and other journals. Whereas the continental Europeans have frequently disseminated basic research at conferences where the circulation of the proceedings is restricted.Additionally, language barriers have proved to be very difficult to break down. In countries where English is a strong second language there has been enthusiastic participation in international conferences based within continental Europe —e.g. Germany, Italy, Belgium, The Netherlands and Switzerland. However, countries where English is not a strong second language have been hesitant participants }—e.g. France.European researchExamples of research relating to bridges in Europe can be divided into three types of structure:Masonry arch bridgesBritain has the largest stock of masonry arch bridges. In certain regions of the UK up to 60% of the road bridges are historic stone masonry arch bridges originally constructed for horse drawn traffic. This is less common in other parts of Europe as many of these bridges were destroyed during World War 2.Concrete bridgesA large stock of concrete bridges was constructed during the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. At the time, these structures were seen as maintenance free. Europe also has a large number of post-tensioned concrete bridges with steel tendon ducts preventing radar inspection. This is a particular problem in France and the UK.Steel bridgesSteel bridges went out of fashion in the UK due to their need for maintenance as perceived in the 1960s and 1970s. However, they have been used for long span and rail bridges, and they are now returning to fashion for motorway widening schemes in the UK.Research activity in EuropeIt gives an indication certain areas of expertise and work being undertaken in Europe, but is by no means exhaustive.In order to illustrate the type of European research being undertaken, an example is given from the University of Edinburgh portfolio. The example relates to the identification of voids in post-tensioned concrete bridges, using digital impulse radar.Post-tensioned concrete rail bridge analysisOve Arup and Partners carried out an inspection and assessment of the superstructure of a 160 m long post-tensioned, segmental railway bridge in Manchester to determine its load-carrying capacity prior to a transfer of ownership, for use in the Metrolink light rail system..Particular attention was paid to the integrity of its post-tensioned steel elements.Physical inspection, non-destructive radar testing and other exploratory methods were used to investigate for possible weaknesses in the bridge.Since the sudden collapse of Ynys-y-Gwas Bridge in Wales, UK in 1985, there has been concern about the long-term integrity of segmental, post-tensioned concrete bridges which may b e prone to ‘brittle’ failure without warning. The corrosion protection of the post-tensioned steel cables, where they pass through joints between the segments, has been identified as a major factor affecting the long-term durability and consequent strength of this type of bridge. The identification of voids in grouted tendon ducts at vulnerable positions is recognized as an important step in the detection of such corrosion.Description of bridgeGeneral arrangementBesses o’ th’ Barn Bridge is a 160 m long, three span, segmental, post-tensionedconcrete railway bridge built in 1969. The main span of 90 m crosses over both the M62 motorway and A665 Bury to Prestwick Road. Minimum headroom is 5.18 m from the A665 and the M62 is cleared by approx 12.5 m.The superstructure consists of a central hollow trapezoidal concrete box section 6.7 m high and 4 m wide. The majority of the south and central spans are constructed using 1.27 m long pre-cast concrete trapezoidal box units, post-tensioned together. This box section supports the in site concrete transverse cantilever slabs at bottom flange level, which carry the rail tracks and ballast.The center and south span sections are of post-tensioned construction. These post-tensioned sections have five types of pre-stressing:1. Longitudinal tendons in grouted ducts within the top and bottom flanges.2. Longitudinal internal draped tendons located alongside the webs. These are deflected at internal diaphragm positions and are encased in in site concrete.3. Longitudinal macalloy bars in the transverse cantilever slabs in the central span .4. Vertical macalloy bars in the 229 mm wide webs to enhance shear capacity.5. Transverse macalloy bars through the bottom flange to support the transverse cantilever slabs.Segmental constructionThe pre-cast segmental system of construction used for the south and center span sections was an alternative method proposed by the contractor. Current thinkingire suggests that such a form of construction can lead to ‘brittle’ failure of the ententire structure without warning due to corrosion of tendons across a construction joint，The original design concept had been for in site concrete construction.Inspection and assessmentInspectionInspection work was undertaken in a number of phases and was linked with the testing required for the structure. The initial inspections recorded a number of visible problems including:Defective waterproofing on the exposed surface of the top flange.Water trapped in the internal space of the hollow box with depths up to 300 mm.Various drainage problems at joints and abutments.Longitudinal cracking of the exposed soffit of the central span.Longitudinal cracking on sides of the top flange of the pre-stressed sections.Widespread sapling on some in site concrete surfaces with exposed rusting reinforcement.AssessmentThe subject of an earlier paper, the objectives of the assessment were:Estimate the present load-carrying capacity.Identify any structural deficiencies in the original design.Determine reasons for existing problems identified by the inspection.Conclusion to the inspection and assessmentFollowing the inspection and the analytical assessment one major element of doubt still existed. This concerned the condition of the embedded pre-stressing wires, strands, cables or bars. For the purpose of structural analysis these elements、had been assumed to be sound. However, due to the very high forces involved,、a risk to the structure, caused by corrosion to these primary elements, was identified.The initial recommendations which completed the first phase of the assessment were:1. Carry out detailed material testing to determine the condition of hidden structural elements, in particularthe grouted post-tensioned steel cables.2. Conduct concrete durability tests.3. Undertake repairs to defective waterproofing and surface defects in concrete.Testing proceduresNon-destructi v e radar testingDuring the first phase investigation at a joint between pre-cast deck segments the observation of a void in a post-tensioned cable duct gave rise to serious concern about corrosion and the integrity of the pre-stress. However, the extent of this problem was extremely difficult to determine. The bridge contains 93 joints with an average of 24 cables passing through each joint, i.e. there were approx. 2200 positions where investigations could be carried out. A typical section through such a joint is that the 24 draped tendons within the spine did not give rise to concern because these were protected by in site concrete poured without joints after the cables had been stressed.As it was clearly impractical to consider physically exposing all tendon/joint intersections, radar was used to investigate a large numbers of tendons and hence locate duct voids within a modest timescale. It was fortunate that the corrugated steel ducts around the tendons were discontinuous through the joints which allowed theradar to detect the tendons and voids. The problem, however, was still highly complex due to the high density of other steel elements which could interfere with the radar signals and the fact that the area of interest was at most 102 mm wide and embedded between 150 mm and 800 mm deep in thick concrete slabs.Trial radar investigations.Three companies were invited to visit the bridge and conduct a trial investigation. One company decided not to proceed. The remaining two were given 2 weeks to mobilize, test and report. Their results were then compared with physical explorations.To make the comparisons, observation holes were drilled vertically downwards into the ducts at a selection of 10 locations which included several where voids were predicted and several where the ducts were predicted to be fully grouted. A 25-mm diameter hole was required in order to facilitate use of the chosen horoscope. The results from the University of Edinburgh yielded an accuracy of around 60%.Main radar sur v ey, horoscope verification of v oids.Having completed a radar survey of the total structure, a baroscopic was then used to investigate all predicted voids and in more than 60% of cases this gave a clear confirmation of the radar findings. In several other cases some evidence of honeycombing in the in site stitch concrete above the duct was found.When viewing voids through the baroscopic, however, it proved impossible to determine their actual size or how far they extended along the tendon ducts although they only appeared to occupy less than the top 25% of the duct diameter. Most of these voids, in fact, were smaller than the diameter of the flexible baroscopic being used (approximately 9 mm) and were seen between the horizontal top surface of the grout and the curved upper limit of the duct. In a very few cases the tops of the pre-stressing strands were visible above the grout but no sign of any trapped water was seen. It was not possible, using the baroscopic, to see whether those cables were corroded.Digital radar testingThe test method involved exciting the joints using radio frequency radar antenna: 1 GHz, 900 MHz and 500 MHz. The highest frequency gives the highest resolution but has shallow depth penetration in the concrete. The lowest frequency gives the greatest depth penetration but yields lower resolution.The data collected on the radar sweeps were recorded on a GSSI SIR System 10.This system involves radar pulsing and recording. The data from the antenna is transformed from an analogue signal to a digital signal using a 16-bit analogue digital converter giving a very high resolution for subsequent data processing. The data is displayed on site on a high-resolution color monitor. Following visual inspection it isthen stored digitally on a 2.3-gigabyte tape for subsequent analysis and signal processing. The tape first of all records a ‘header’ noting the digital radar settings together with the trace number prior to recording the actual data. When the data is played back, one is able to clearly identify all the relevant settings —making for accurate and reliable data reproduction.At particular locations along the traces, the trace was marked using a marker switch on the recording unit or the antenna.All the digital records were subsequently downloaded at the University’s NDT laboratory on to a micro-computer.（The raw data prior to processing consumed 35 megabytes of digital data.） Post-processing was undertaken using sophisticated signal processing software. Techniques available for the analysis include changing the color transform and changing the scales from linear to a skewed distribution in order to highlight、突出certain features. Also, the color transforms could be changed to highlight phase changes. In addition to these color transform facilities, sophisticated horizontal and vertical filtering procedures are available. Using a large screen monitor it is possible to display in split screens the raw data and the transformed processed data. Thus one is able to get an accurate indication of the processing which has taken place. The computer screen displays the time domain calibrations of the reflected signals on the vertical axis.A further facility of the software was the ability to display the individual radar pulses as time domain wiggle plots. This was a particularly valuable feature when looking at individual records in the vicinity of the tendons.Interpretation of findingsA full analysis of findings is given elsewhere, Essentially the digitized radar plots were transformed to color line scans and where double phase shifts were identified in the joints, then voiding was diagnosed.Conclusions1. An outline of the bridge research platform in Europe is given.2. The use of impulse radar has contributed considerably to the level of confidence in the assessment of the Besses o’ th’ Barn Rail Bridge.3. The radar investigations revealed extensive voiding within the post-tensioned cable ducts. However, no sign of corrosion on the stressing wires had been foundexcept for the very first investigation.欧洲桥梁研究欧洲联盟共同的研究平台诞生于欧洲联盟。

Design of reinforced concrete bridgesP. Jackson Giord and PartnersThe shortest span reinforced concrete decks are built as solid slabs. These may be supported on bearings although, due to durability issues with expansion joints and bearings, it is usually preferable to cast them integral with in-situ abutments or place them as part of pre cast box culverts. As the span increases, the optimum form of construction changes to voided slab or beam and slab then box girder bridges. Open spandrel arches enable relatively long spans, more commonly built in steel or prestressed concrete, to be built efficiently in reinforced concrete. Reinforced concrete is also used for deck slabs and substructures for bridges with main elements of steel or prestressed concrete. The key design criteria and checks required by codes are the same regardless of the form of construction. These are for ultimate strength in flexure, shear and torsion and for serviceability issues including crack widths and service stresses. For elements with significant live load ratios, reinforcement fatigue may sometimes also have to be checked. IntroductionMost modern small bridges are of reinforced concrete construction and nearly all modern bridges contain some elements of reinforced concrete (RC). In this chapter, the design of reinforced concrete bridge superstructures is considered and some aspects of the design criteria for reinforced concrete, which are also relevant to other reinforced concrete substructures and reinforced concrete parts of bridges with steel or prestressed main elements, are reviewed.Some specific aspects which are most often relevant to deck slabs in bridges with prestressed or steel beams will be considered in the section on beam and slab bridges.In situ reinforced concrete construction has the great advantage of simplicity; formwork is placed, reinforcement fixed and concrete poured and the structure is then com-plete. In modern practice, precast bridge elements are usually prestressed. For smaller elements, this is because pretensioning on long line beds is a convenient method of providing the steel. For larger structures, post-tensioning provides the most convenient way of fixing manageable sized elements together. The result is that, with some exceptions which will be discussed, purely reinforced concrete bridges are usually cast in situ.In the following, the various types of RC bridge are considered and the design criteria for reinforced concrete are then reviewed.Solid slab bridgesSingle spansThe solid slab is the simplest form of reinforced concrete bridge deck. Ease of construction resulting from the sim-plicity makes this the most economic type for short span structures. Solid slabs also have good distribution properties which makes them efficient at carrying concentrated movable loads such as wheel loads for highway bridges. However, above a span of around 10m the deadweight starts to become excessive, making other forms of construction more economic.Solid slab bridges can be simply supported on bearings or built into the abutments. Until recently, bridge engineers tended to be quite pedantic about providing for expansion and even bridges as short as 9m span were often provided with bearings and expansion joints. However, bearings and expansion joints have proved to be among the most troublesome components of bridges. In particular, deterior-ation of substructures due to water leaking through expan-sion joints has been common especially in bridges carrying roads where de-icing salt is used.Recently, the fashion has changed back to designing bridges that are cast integral with theabutments or bank seats (Department of Transport, 1995). Apart from the durability advantages, this can lead to saving in the deck due to the advantage of continuity. On short span bridges with relatively high abutment walls, being able to use the deck to prop the abutments can also lead to significant savings in the abutments. However, this normally depends on being able to build the deck before backfilling behind the abutments. When assumptions about construction approach such as this are made in design, it is important that they should be properly conveyed to the contractor, normally by stating them on the drawings.A feature of the design of integral bridges which has not always been appreciated is that, because the deck is not structurally isolated from the substructure, the stress state in the deck is dependent on the soil properties. This inevitably means that the analysis is less ‘accurate’than in conventional structures. Neither the normal at-rest pressure behind abutments nor the resistance to movement is ever very accurately known. It might be argued that, because of this, designs should be done for both upper and lower bounds to soil properties. In practice, this is not generally done and the design criteria used have sufficient reserve so that this does not lead to problems.Depending on the ground conditions, span and obstacle crossed, the abutments of asingle-span bridge may be separate or may be joined to form a complete box. Such box type structures have the advantage that they can be built without piles even in very poor ground, as the bearing pressure is low. Since the box structure is likely to be lighter than the displaced fill, the net bearing pressure is often negative. This can lead to problems in made ground as the embankment either side of the box may settle much more than the box, leading to problems with vertical align-ment and damage to the surfacing or rails over the bridge.RC slab bridges are normally cast in situ. An exception is very short span shallower structures (typically up to some 6m span and 3.6m clear height) which can be most eco-nomically precast effectively complete as box culverts, leav-ing only parapets and, where required, wing walls to cast in situ. This form of construction is most commonly used for conveying watercourses under embankments but can be used for footway and cycletracks.In situ construction is very convenient for greenfield sites and for crossing routes that can be diverted. It is less con-venient for crossing under or over live routes. For the latter, spanning formwork can be used if there is sufficient headroom. However, in many cases beam bridges are more convenient and the precast beams will normally be pre-stressed. RC box type structures can, however, be installed under live traffic. They can be pushed under embankments. The issues are considered by Allenby and Ropkins (2004). A reasonable amount of fill over the box is needed to do this under live traffic. The box structure is cast adjacent to its final position and then jacked into position with anti-drag ropes preventing the foundations below and the fill above moving with it. If there is not much fill depth, it becomes impractical to push the box whilst keeping a road or rail route over the top still. A similar approach can, how-ever, be used with the box cast in advance and then jacked into place in open cut over a relatively short possession.Multiple spansIn the past, some in situ multi-span slab bridges were built which were simply supported. However, unlike in bridges built from precast beams, it is no more complicated to build a continuous bridge. Indeed, because of the absence of the troublesome and leak-prone expansion joints, it may actually be simpler. It is therefore only in exceptional circumstances (for example construction in areas subject to extreme differential settlement due to mining subsidence) thatmultiple simply supported spans are now used.Making the deck continuous or building it into the abut-ments also leads to a significant reduction in the mid-span sagging moments in the slab.The advantage of this continuity in material terms is much greater than in bridges of pre-stressed beam construction where creep redistribution effects usually more than cancel out the saving in live load moments.Various approaches are possible for the piers. Either leaf piers can be used or discrete columns. Unlike in beam bridges, the latter approach needs no separate transverse beam. The necessary increase in local transverse moment capacity can be achieved by simply providing additional transverse reinforcement in critical areas. This facility makes slab bridges particularly suitable for geometrically complicated viaducts such as arise in some interchanges in urban situations. Curved decks with varying skew angles and discrete piers in apparently random locations can readily be accommodated.Whether discrete columns or leaf piers are used, they can either be provided with bearings or built into the deck. The major limitation on the latter approach is that, if the bridge is fixed in more than one position, the pier is subject to significant moments due to the thermal expansion and contraction of the deck. Unless the piers are very tall and slender, this usually precludes using the approach for more than one or two piers in a viaduct.Voided slab bridgesAbove a span of about 10–12m, the dead weight of a solid slab bridge starts to become excessive. For narrower bridges, significant weight saving can be achieved by using relatively long transverse cantilevers giving a bridge of ‘spine beam’form as shown in Figure 1. This canextend the economic span range of this type of structure to around 16m or more. Above this span, and earlier for wider bridges, a lighter form of construction is desirable.One of the commonest ways of lightening a solid slab is to use void formers of some sort. The commonest form is circular polystyrene void formers. Although polystyrene appears to be impermeable, it is only the much more expensive closed cell form which is so. The voids should therefore be provided with drainage holes at their lower ends. It is also important to ensure that the voids and reinforcement are held firmly in position in the formwork during construction. This avoids problems that have occurred with the voids floating or with the links moving to touch the void formers, giving no cover.Provided the void diameters are not more than around 60% of the slab thickness and nominal transverse steel is provided in the flanges, the bridge can be analysed much as a solidslab. That is, without considering either the reduced transverse shear stiffness or the local bending in the flanges. Unlike the previous British code, EN 1992-2 (BSI, 2005) does not give specific guidance on voided slabs. However, some is provided in the accompanying ‘PD’pub- lished by the British Standards Institution (BSI, 2008a).The section is designed longitudinally in both flexure and shear allowing for the voids. Links should be provided and these are designed as for a flanged beam with the minimum web thickness.The shear stresses are likely to become excessive near supports, particularly if discrete piers are used. However, this problem can be avoided by simply stopping the voids off, leaving a solid section in these critical areas.If more lightening is required, larger diameter voids or square voids forming a cellular deck can be used. These do then have to be considered in analysis. The longitudinal stiff-ness to be used for a cellular deck is calculated in the normal way, treating the section as a monolithic beam.Transversely, such a structure behaves quite differently under uniform and non-uniform bending. In the former, the top and bottom flanges act compositely whereas in the latter they flex about their separate neutral axes as shown in Figure 2. This means the correct flexural inertia can be an order of magnitude greater for uniform than non-uniform bending. The behaviour can, however, be modelled in a conventional grillage model by using a shear deformable grillage. The composite flexural properties are used and the extra defor-mation under non-uniform bending is represented by calcu-lating an equivalent shear stiffness.Having obtained the moments and forces in the cellular structure, the reinforcement has to be designed. In addition to designing for the longitudinal and transverse moments on the complete section, local moments in the flanges have to be considered. These arise from the wheel loads applied to the deck slab and also from the transverse shear. This shear has to be transmitted across the voidsby flexure in the flanges, that is by the section acting like a vierendeel frame as shown in Figure 2.Voided slab bridges typically have the rather utilitarian appearance typical of bridges with the type of voided section shown in Figure 1 and with either single spans or with intermediate piers of either leaf or discrete vertical pier form. However, one of the potential great advantages of concrete is that any shape can be formed. Figure 3 shows a voided slab bridge of more imaginative appearance which carries main line rail loading. To make most efficient use of the curved soffit varying depth section, different sizes of void were used across the width.Beam and slab bridgesIn recent years, in situ beam and slab structures have been less popular than voided slab forms, while precast beams have generally been prestressed. Reinforced beam andslab structures have therefore been less common. However, there is no fundamental reason why they should not be used and there are thousands of such structures in service.One of the disadvantages of a beam and slab structure compared with a voided slab or cellular slab structure is that the distribution properties are relatively poor. In the UK at least, this is less of a disadvantage than it used to be. This is because the normal traffic load has increased with each change of the loading specification, leaving the abnormal load the same until the most recent change which could actually make it less severe for shorter spans. However, reinforced concrete beam and slab bridges do not appear to have increased in popularity as a result. They are more popular in some other countries.The relatively poor distribution properties of beam and slab bridges can be improved by providing one or more transverse beams or diaphragms within the span, rather than only at the piers. In bridges built with precast beams, forming these ‘intermediate diaphragms’is extremely inconvenient and therefore expensive so they have become unusual. However, in an in situ structure which has to be built on falsework, it makes relatively little difference and is therefore more viable.The beams for a beam and slab structure are designed for the moments and forces from the analysis. The analysis is now usually computerised in European practice, although the AASHTO (2002) code encourages the use of a basically empirical approach.Having obtained the forces, the design approach is the same as for slabs apart from the requirement for nominal links in all beams. Another factor is that if torsion is consid-ered in the analysis the links have to be designed for torsion as well as for shear. Itis, however,acceptable practiceto use torsionless analysis at least for right decks.Because the deck slab forms a large top flange, the beams of beam and slab bridges are more efficiently shaped for resisting sagging than hogging moments. It may therefore be advantageous to haunch them locally over the piers even in relatively short-span continuous bridges.The biggest variation in practice in the design of beam and slab structures is in the reinforcement of the deck slab. A similar situation arises in the deck slabs of bridgeswhere the main beams are steel or prestressed concrete and this aspect will now be considered.Conventional practice in North America was to design only for the moments induced in the deck slab by its action in spanning between the beams supporting wheel loads (the ‘local moments’). These moments were obtained from Westergaard (1930) albeit usually by way of tables given in AASHTO. British practice also uses elastic methods to obtain local moments, usuallyeither Westergaard or influ-ence charts such as Pucher (1964). However, the so-called‘global transverse moments’, the moments induced in the deck slab by its action in distributing load between the beams, are considered. These moments, obtained from the global analysis of the bridge, are added to the local moments obtained from Westergaard (1930) or similar methods. Only‘co-existent’moments (the moments induced in the same part of the deck under the same load case) are considered, and the worst global and local moments often do notcoin-cide. However, this still has a significant effect. In bridges with very close spaced beams (admittedly rarely used in North America) the UK approach can give twice the design moments of the US approach.Although the US approach may appear theoretically unsound (the global moments obviously do exist in American bridges), it has produced satisfactory designs.One reason for this is that the local strength of the deck slabs is actually much greater than conventional elastic analysis suggests. This has been extensively researched (Hewit and Batchelor, 1975; Holowka and Csagoly, 1980;Kirkpatrick et al., 1984).In Ontario (Ontario Ministry of Transportation and Communications, 1983) empirical rules have been devel-oped which enable such slabs to be designed very simply and economically. Although these were developed without major consideration of global effects, they have been shown to work well within the range of cases they apply to (Jack-son and Cope, 1990). Similar rules have been developed in Northern Ireland (Kirkpatrick et al., 1984) and elsewhere but they have not been widely accepted in Europe.Longer span structuresIn modern practice, purely reinforced structures longer than about 20m span are quite unusual; concrete bridges of this size are usually prestressed. However, there is no funda-mental reason why such structures should not be built.The longest span reinforced concrete girder bridges tend to be of box girder form. Although single cell box girders are a well-defined form of construction, there is no clear-cut distinction between a ‘multi-cellular box girder’and a voided slab. However, the voids in voided slab bridges are normally formed with polystyrene or other permanent void formers, whereas box girders are usually formed with removable formwork. The formwork can only be removed if the section is deep enough for access, which effectively means around 1.2m minimum depth. Permanent access to the voids is often provided. In older structures, this was often through manholes in the top slab. This means traffic management is required to gain access and also means there is the problem of water, and de-icing salt where this is used, leaking into the voids. It is therefore preferable to provide access from below.In a continuous girder bridge (particularly one with only two spans) the hogging moments, particularly the perma-nent load moments, over the piers are substantially greater than the sagging moments at mid-span. This, combinedwith the greater advantage of saving weight near mid-span, encourages longer span bridges to be haunched. Haunching frequently also helps with the clearance required for road, rail or river traffic under the bridge by allowing a shallower section elsewhere.The longest span and most dramatic purely reinforced concrete bridges are open spandrel arches as in the Catha-leen’s Falls Bridge shown in Figure 4. The true arch form suits reinforced concrete well as the compressive force in the arch rib increases its flexural strength. As a result, the form is quite efficient in terms of materials.Because of the physical shape of the arch and the require- ment for good ground conditions to resist the lateral thrust force from the arch, this form of construction is limited in its application. It is most suitable for crossing valleys in hilly country. The simplest way to build such a structure is on falsework. However, the falsework required is very extensive and hence relatively expensive. Because of this, such bridges are often more expensive than structurally less efficient forms, such as prestressed cantilever bridges, that can be built with less temporary works. However, they may still be economic in some circumstances, particularly in countries where the labour required to erect the falsework is relatively cheap. A further factor may be local availability of the materials in countries where the prestressing equip-ment or structural steelwork required for other bridges of this span range would have to be imported.It is also possible to devise other ways of building arches.They have been built out in segments from either end supported by tying them back with temporary stays. Another approach, which is only likely to be viable with at least three spans, is to insert temporary diagonal mem- bers so that the bridge, including the columns supporting the deck and at least main longitudinal members at deck level, can be built bay by bay behaving as a truss until it is joined up.The efficiency of arch structures, like other forms used for longer span bridges, arises because the shape is optimised for resisting the near-uniform forces arising from dead load which is the dominant load. The profile of the arch is arranged to minimise the bending moments in it. Theoretically, the optimum shape approximates to a catenary if the weight of the rib dominates or a parabola if the weight of the deck dominates but the exact shape is unlikely to be critical.Arch structures can be so efficient at carrying dead weight that applying the usual load factor for dead load actually increases live load capacity by increasing the axial force in, andhence flexural capacity of, the rib. The design code’s lesser load factor (normally 1.0) for‘relieving effects’should be applied to dead weight when this arises. However, the letter of many codes only requires this to be applied in certain cases which are defined in such a way that it does not appear to apply here. This cannot be justified philosophi-cally and the reduced factor should be used.Because the geometry is optimised for a uniform load,loading the entire span is unlikely to be the critical live load case, unlike in a simple single-span beam bridge. It will normally be necessary to plot influence lines to determine the critical case. For uniform loads, this is often loading a half-span.Arch bridges have been built in which the live load bending moments are taken primarily by the girders at deck level, enabling the arch ribs to be very slim in appear-ance. However, the more usual approach is to build the arch rib first and then build the deck structure afterwards, possibly even after the falsework has been struck so that this does not have to be designed to take the full load.The deck structure is then much like a normal viaduct supported on piers from the arch rib and the rib has to take significant moments.In the past, reinforced concrete truss structures have also been built but they are not often used in modern practice because the building costs are high due to the complexity of formwork and reinforcement.Design calculationGeometryThe shape of reinforced concrete bridges is usually decided by experience aided by typical span-to-depth ratios. The design calculations are only really used to design the reinforcement. A typical simply supported slab has a span-to-depth ratio of around 10–15 but continuous or integral bridges can be shallower. Because the concentrated live load (i.e. the wheel load) the deck has to carry does not reduce with span, the span-to-depth ratio of short span slabs tends to be towards the lower end of the range.However, deck slabs of bigger bridges often have greater span-to-depth ratios than slab bridges. This is economic because the dead weight of the slab, although an insignifi-cant part of the load on the slab, is significant to the global design of the bridge.There was a fashion for very shallow bridges in the 1960s and 1970s as they were considered to look more elegant. However, unless increasing the construction depth has major cost implications elsewhere (such as the need to raise embankments) it is likely to be more economic to use more than the minimum depth. The appearance dis-advantage on short span bridges can be resolved by good detailing of the edges. Bridge decks with short transverse cantilevers at the edges tend to look shallower than vertical sided bridges even if they are actually deeper.Having decided the dimensions of the bridge, the design calculations then serve primarily to design the reinforce-ment and the key checks will now be considered. They will be illustrated mainly by considering slab structures but most of the principles apply to all reinforced concrete. Ultimate strength in flexure and torsionReinforced concrete is normally designed for ultimate strength in flexure first. This is partly because this is usually, although not invariably, the critical design criterion.Another reason is that reinforcement can be more readily designed directly for this criterion. For other criteria, suchas crack width or service stresses, a design has to be assumed and then checked. This makes thedesign process iterative. A first estimate is required to start the iterative procedure and the ultimate strength design provides such an estimate.Although other analytical methods give better estimates of strength, elastic analysis is usually used in design. This has to be used when checking serviceability criteria. Because of this, the use of more economic analyses at the ultimate limit state (such as yield-line analysis) invariably results in other criteria (such as cracking or stress limits) becoming critical leaving little or no advantage.Concrete slabs have to resist torsion as well as flexure. However, unlike in a beam, torsion and flexure in slabs are not separate phenomena. They interact in the same way that direct and shear stresses interact in plane stress situations. They can be considered in the same way: thatis using Mohr’s circle. Theoretically, it is most efficient to use orthogonal reinforcement placed in the directions of maximum and minimum principal moments. Since there is no torsion in these directions, torsion does not then have to be considered. However, it is not often practical to do this as the principal moment directions change with both position in the slab and load case.In right slabs the torsional moments in the regions (the elements of the computer model where this is used),where the moments are maximum, are relatively small and can often be ignored. In skew slabs, in contrast, the torsions can be significant. The usual approach is to design for an increased equivalent bending moment in the reinforcement directions. Wood (1968) has published the relevant equations for orthogonal steel and Armer (1968) for skew steel. Many of the computer programs commonly used for the analysis of bridge decks have post-processors that enable them to give these corrected moments, com-monly known as ‘Wood–Armer’moments, directly. To enable them to do this, it is necessary to specify the direc-tion of the reinforcement.When the reinforcement is very highly skewed, the Wood–Armer approach leads to excessive requirements for transverse steel. When assessing existing structures, this problem can be avoided by using alternative analytical approaches. However, in design it is usually preferable to avoid the problem by avoiding the use of very highly skewed reinforcement. The disadvantage of this is that it makes the reinforcement detailing of skew slab bridges more complicated. This arises because the main steel in the edges of the slab has to run parallel with the edges. Orthogonal steel can therefore only be achieved in the centre of the bridge either by fanning out the steel or bypro-viding three layers in the edge regions. That is, one parallel to the edge in addition to the two orthogonal layers.When torsion is considered, it will be found that there is a significant requirement for top steel in the obtuse corners even of simply supported slabs. It can be shown using other analytical methods (such as yield-line or torsionless grillage analysis) that equilibrium can be satisfied without resisting these moments. The top steel is therefore not strictly necessary for ultimate strength. However, the moments are real and have caused significant cracking in older slab structures which were built without this steel. It is therefore preferable to reinforce for them. Ultimate strength in shearShear does not normally dictate the dimensions of the element. However, codes allow slabs (unlike beams) which do not have shear reinforcement and it is economically desirable to avoid shear reinforcement in these if e of links is particularly inconvenient in very shallow slabs, such as in box culverts or the deck slabs of beam and slab bridges, and many codes do not allow them to be considered effective. The shear strength rules can therefore be critical in design.。

对HMAB，首先进行粘合剂的各种测试，结果表明的HMAB劲度相比传统的不改变低温性能的粘合剂显著增加。

对混合料的室内测试有动态模量、水稳定性、轮辙和疲劳测试。

动态模量试验结果表明：在高温时HMAM的模量比常规混合料高一半；性能测试结果表明：HMAM对水分、车辙和疲劳损伤的抵抗性能比传统混合料好。

同时从全尺寸试验中发现采用HMAM的沥青层底部拉伸应变值比采用常规混合料的低，尽管采用HMAM的沥青层厚度比传统的薄。

HMAM部分的所有拉伸应变值均在长寿命沥青路面疲劳标准即疲劳极限70个微应变之内。

和室内轮辙测试结果相似，厚HMAM试验段的车辙深度低于常规路面段的1/2关键字：高模量沥青粘结剂；高模量沥青混合料；长寿命沥青路面；动态模量1．引言在韩国沥青路面预期寿命通常被设计为20年。

也就是说一个沥青路面过了20年的服务期间如果出现严重的结构性失效，路面应该重建来获得初始其结构能力。

然而，由于交通量的显著增加和预算不足，在韩国大部分旧路面已采用加铺5厘米厚结构层部分修复代替重建。

一般来说，在洗铇加铺恢复路面性能之前，新建路面的使用期超过十年。

然而，经过第一次修复之后，路面的使用寿命越来越短因为路面持续失去结构承载力的主要原因是发生在沥青层的累积损伤。

因此，如果现有路面有严重的疲劳开裂和变形，从结构和经济的角度看加铺覆盖来延长使用年限可能是无效的。

土木工程学院交通工程专业中英文翻译Road Design专业：交通工程英文原文The Basics of a Good RoadWe have known how to build good roads for a long time. Archaeologists have found ancient Egyptian roadsthat carried blocks to the pyramids in 4600 BCE. Later,the Romans built an extensive road system, using the same principles we use today. Some of these roads arestill in service.If you follow the basic concepts of road building, you will create a road that will last. The ten commandments of a good road are:（1）Get water away from the road（2）Build on a firm foundation（3）Use the best materials（4）Compact all layers properly（5）Design for traffic loads and volumes（6）Design for maintenance（7）Pave only when ready（8）Build from the bottom up（9）Protect your investment（10）Keep good records1．Get water away from the roadWe can’t overemphasize the importance of good drainage.Engineers estimate that at least 90% of a road’s problems can be related to excess water or to poor waterdrainage. Too much water in any laye r of a road’sstructure can weaken that layer, leading to failure.In the surface layer, water can cause cracks and potholes. In lower layers it undermines support, causing cracks and potholes. A common sign of water in an asphalt road surface is alligator cracking — an interconnected pattern of cracks forming small irregular shaped pieces that look like alligator skin. Edge cracking, frost heaves, and spring breakup of pavements also point to moisture problems.To prevent these problems remember that water:• flows downhill• needs to flow someplace• is a problem if it is not flowingEffective drainage systems divert, drain and dispose of water. To do this they use interceptor ditches and slopes,road crowns, and ditch and culvert systems.Divert —Interceptor ditches, located between the road and higher ground along the road, keep the water from reaching the roadway. These ditches must slope so they carry water away from the road.Drain —Creating a crown in the road so it is higher along the centerline than at the edges encourages water to flow off the road. Typically a paved crown should be 1⁄4" higher than the shoulder for each foot of width from the centerline to the edge. For gravel surfaces the crownshould be 1⁄2" higher per foot of width. For this flow path to work, the road surface must be relatively water tight. Road shoulders also must be sloped away from the road to continue carrying the flow away. Superelevations (banking) at the outside of curves will also help drainthe road surface.Dispose —A ditch and culvert system carries water away from the road structure. Ditches should be at least one foot lower than the bottom of the gravel road layer that drains the roadway. They must be kept clean and must be sloped to move water into natural drainage. If water stays in the ditches it can seep back into the road structure and undermine its strength. Ditches should also be protected from erosion by planting grass, or installing rock and other erosion control measures. Erosion can damage shoulders and ditches, clog culverts, undermine roadbeds, and contaminate nearby streams and lakes. Evaluate your ditch and culvert system twice a year to ensure that it works. In the fall, clean out leaves and branches that can block flow. In spring, check for and remove silts from plowing and any dead plant material left from the fall.2．Build on a firm foundationA road is only as good as its foundation. A highway wears out from the top down but falls apart from the bottom. The road base must carry the entire structure and the traffic that uses it.To make a firm foundation you may need to stabilize the roadbed with chemical stabilizers, large stone called breaker run, or geotextile fabric. When you run into conditions where you suspect that the native soil is unstable, work with an engineer to investigate the situation and design an appropriate solution.3．Use the best materialsWith all road materials you “pay now or pay later.” Inferior materials may require extensive maintenance throughout the road’s life. They may also force you to replace the road prematurely.Crushed aggregate is the best material for the base course. The sharp angles of thecrushed material interlock when they are compacted. This supports the pavement and traffic by transmitting the load from particle to particle. By contrast, rounded particles act like ballbearings, moving under loads.Angular particles are more stable than rounded particles.Asphalt and concrete pavement materials must be of the highest quality, designed forthe conditions, obtained from established firms, and tested to ensure it meets specifications.4．Compact all layersIn general, the more densely a material is compacted, the stronger it is. Compaction also shrinks or eliminates open spaces (voids) between particles. This means that less water can enter the structure. Water in soil can weaken the structure or lead to frost heaves. This is especially important for unsurfaced (gravel) roads. Use gravel which has a mix of sizes (well-graded aggregate) so smaller particles can fill the voids between larger ones. Goodcompaction of asphalt pavement lengthens its life.5．Design for traffic loads and volumesDesign for the highest anticipated load the road will carry. A road that has been designed only for cars will not stand up to trucks. One truck with 9 tons on a single rear axle does as much damage to a road as nearly 10,000 cars.Rural roads may carry log trucks, milk trucks, fire department pumper trucks, or construction equipment. If you don’t know what specific loads the road w ill carry, a good rule of thumb is to design for the largest piece of highway maintenance equipment that will be used on the road.A well-constructed and maintained asphalt road should last 20 years without major repairs or reconstruction. In designing a road, use traffic counts that project numbers and sizes of vehicles 20 years into the future. These are only projections, at best, but they will allow you to plan for traffic loadings through a road’s life.6．Design for maintenanceWithout maintenance a road will rapidly deteriorate and fail. Design your roads so they can be easily maintained. This means:• adequate ditches that can be cleaned regularly• culverts that are marked for easy locating in the spring• enough space for snow after it is plowed off the road• proper cross slopes for safety, maintenance and to avoid snow drifts• roadsi des that are planted or treated to prevent erosion• roadsides that can be mowed safelyA rule of thumb for adequate road width is to make it wide enough for a snowplow to pass another vehicle without leaving the travelled way.Mark culverts with a post so they can be located easily.7．Pave only when readyIt is not necessary to pave all your roads immediately. There is nothing wrong with a well-built and wellmaintained gravel road if traffic loads and volume do not require a paved surface. Three hundred vehicles per day is the recommended minimum to justify paving.Don’t assume that laying down asphalt will fix a gravel road that is failing. Before youpave, make sure you have an adequate crushed stone base that drains well and is properly compacted. The recommended minimum depth of crushed stone base is 10" depending on subgrade soils. A road paved only when it is ready will far outperform one that is constructed too quickly.8．Ê Build from the bottom upThis commandment may seem obvious, but it means that you shouldn’t top dress or resurface a road if the problem is in an underlying layer. Before you do any road improvement, locate the cause of any surface problems. Choose an improvement technique that will address the problem. This may mean recycling or removing all road materials down to the native soil and rebuilding everything. Doing any work that doesn’t solve the problem is a waste of money and effort.9．Ê Protec t your investmentThe road system can be your municipality’s biggest investment. Just as a home needs painting or a new roof, a road must be maintained. Wisconsin’s severe climate requires more road maintenance than in milder places. Do these important maintenance activities: Surface —grade, shape, patch, seal cracks, control dust, remove snow and iceDrainage —clean and repair ditches and culverts; remove all excess materialRoadside —cut brush, trim trees and roadside plantings, control erosionTraffic service —clean and repair or replace signsDesign roads with adequate ditches so they can be maintained with a motor grader. Clean and grade ditches to maintain proper pitch and peak efficiency. After grading, remove all excess material from the shoulder.10．Keep good recordsYour maintenance will be more efficient with good records. Knowing the road’s construction, life, and repair history makes it much easier to plan and budget its future repairs. Records can also help you evaluate the effectiveness of the repair methods and materials you used.Good record keeping starts with an inventory of the system. It should include the history and surface condition of the roadway, identify and evaluate culverts and bridges, note ditch conditions, shoulders, signs, and such structures as retaining walls and guardrails.Update your inventory each year or when you repair or change a road section. A formal pavement management system can help use these records and plan and budget road improvements.ResourcesThe Basics of a Good Road#17649, UW-Madison, 15 min. videotape.

公路路面中英文资料外文翻译文献PavementHighway pavements are divided into two main categories: rigitand flexible.The wearing surfaceof a rigid pavement is usually constructed of Portland cement concrete such that it acts like a beam over any irregularities in the underlying supporting material.The wearing surface of flexible pavements, on the other hand, is usually constructed of bituminous material such that they remain in contact with the underlying material even when minor irregularities occur.Flexible pavements usually consist of a bituminous surface underlaid with a layer of granular material and a layer of a suitable mixture of coarse and fine materials.Coarse aggregatesFine aggregatesTraffic loads are transferred by the wearing surface to the underlying supporting materials through the interlocking of aggregates, the frictionaleffect of the granular materials, and the cohesion of the fine materials.Flexible pavements are further divided into three subgroups: high type, intermediate type, and low type. High-type pavements have wearing surfaces that adequately support the expected traffic load without visible distress due to fatigue and are not susceptible to weather conditions.Intermediate-type pavements have wearing surfaces that range from surface treated to those with qualities just below that of high-type pavements. Low-type pavements are used mainly for low-cost roads and have wearing surfaces that range from untreated to loose natural materials to surface-treated earth.The components of a flexible pavement include the subgradeor preparedroadbed, the subbase, basecourse, and the surface course (Fig.11.1).✹Upper surface courseMiddle surface courseLower surface courseThe performance of the pavement depends on the satisfactory performance of each component, which requires proper evaluation of the properties of each component separately.✹The subgrade is usually the natural material located along the horizontal alignment of the pavement and serves as the foundation of the pavement structure.✹The subgrademay also consist of a layer of selected borrow materials, well compacted to prescribedspecifications.✹Compacting plantCompaction deviceCompactnessIt may be necessary to treat the subgrade material to achieve certain strength properties required for the type of pavement being constructed.Located immediately above the subgrade, the subbase component consists of a superior quality to that which generally is used for subgrade construction. The requirements for subbase materials are usually given in terms of the gradation, plastic characteristics, and strength. When the quality of the subgrade material meets the requirements of the subbase material, the subbase component may be omitted.In cases where suitable subbase material is not readily available ,the available material can be treated with other materials to achieve the necessary properties. This process of treating soils to improve their engineering properties is know as stabilization.✹The base course lies immediately above the subbase. It is placed immediately above the subgrade if a subbase course is not used.✹This course usually consists of granular materials such as crushed stone, crushed or uncrushed.The specifications for base course materials usually include stricter requirements than those for subbase materials, particularly with respect to their plasticity, gradation, and strength.Materials that do not have the required properties can be used as base materials if they are properly stabilized with Portland cement, asphalt, or lime .In some cases, high-quality base course materials may also be treated with asphalt or Portland cement to improve the stiffness characteristics of heavy-duty pavementsThe surface course is the upper course of the road pavement and is constructed immediately above the base course. The surface course in flexible pavement usually consists of a mixture of mineral aggregates and asphaltic materials.It should be capable of withstanding high tire pressures, resisting the abrasive forces due to traffic, providing a skid-resistant driving surface, and preventing thepenetration of surface water into the underlying layers.✹The thickness of the wearing surface can vary from 3 in. to more than 6 in.（inch，英寸，2.54cm）, depending on the expected traffic on the pavement.It was shown that the quality of the surface course of a flexible pavement depends on the mix design of the asphalt concrete used.✹Rigid highway pavements usually are constructed to carry heavy traffic loads, although they have been used for residential and local roads. Properly designed and constructed rigid pavements have long service lives and usually are less expensive to maintain than the flexible pavements.✹The Portland cement concrete commonly used for rigid pavements consists of Portland cement, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, and water. Steel reinforcing rods may or may not be used, depending on the type of pavement being constructed.Rigid highway pavements be divided into three general type: plain concrete pavements, simply reinforced concrete pavements, and continuously reinforced concrete pavement. The definition of each pavement type is related to the amount of reinforcement used.Plain concrete pavement has no temperature steel or dowels for load transfer. However, steel tie bars are often used to provide a hingeeffect at longitudinal joints and to prevent the opening of these joints. Plain concrete pavements are used mainly on low-volume highways or when cement-stabilized soils are used as subbase.✹Joints are placed at relatively shorter distances (10 to 20 ft) than with the other types of concrete pavements to reduce the amount of cracking.In some case, the transverse joints of plain concrete pavements are skewed about 4 to 5 ft in plan, such that only one wheel of a vehicle passes through the joint at a time. This helps to provide a smoother ride.Simply reinforced concrete pavements have dowels for the transfer of traffic loads across joints, with these joints spaced at larger distances, ranging from 30 to 100 ft. Temperature steel is used throughout the slab, with the amount dependent on the length of the slab. Tie bars are also commonly used in longitudinal joints.h/2 h/25~10cm 填缝料横向施工缝构造Continuously reinforced concrete pavements have no transverse joints, except construction joints or expansion joints when they are necessary at specific positions, such as at bridges.These pavements have a relatively high percentage of steel, with the minimum usually at 0.6 percent of the cross section of the slab. They also contain tie bars across the longitudinal joints.Bituminous Surface CoursesThe bituminous surface course has to provide resistance to the effects of repeated loading by tyres and to the effects of the environment.✹ In addition, it must offer adequate skid resistance in wet weather as well ascomfortable vehicle ride. It must also be resistant to rutting and to cracking.✹ It is also desirable that surface course is impermeable, except in the case ofporous asphalt.Hot rolled asphalt (HRA) is a gapgraded material with less coarse aggregate. In fact it is essentially a bitumen/fine aggregate/filler mortar into which some coarse aggregate is placed.The mechanical propertiesare dominated by those of the mortar. This material has been extensively used as the wearing course on major road in the UK, though its use has recently declined as new materials have been introduced.✹ It provides a durablelayer with good resistance to cracking and one which isrelatively easy to compact. The coarse aggregate content is low (typically 30%) which results in the compacted mixture having a smooth surface. Accordingly, the skid resistance is inadequate and precoated chippings are rolled into the surface at the time of laying to correct this deficiency.In Scotland, HRA wearing course remains the preferred wearing course on trunk roads including motorway but ， since 1999 thin surfacings have been the preferred option in England and Wales. Since 1999 in Northern Ireland, HRA wearing course and thin surfacings are the preferred permitted options.Porous asphalt (PA) is a uniformly graded material which is designed to provide平缝加拉杆型large air voids so that water can drain to the verges within the layer thickness. If the wearing course is to be effective, the basecourse below must be waterproof and the PA must have the ability to retain its open textured properties with time.Thick binder films are required to resist water damage and ageing of the binder. In use, this material minimizes vehicle spray, provides a quiet ride and lower rolling resistance to traffic than dense mixtures.✹It is often specified for environmental reasons but stone mastic asphalt (SMA) and special thin surfacings are generally favoured in current UK practice.There have been high profile instances where a PA wearing course has failed early in its life. The Highways Agency does not recommend the use of a PA at traffic levels above 6000 commercial vehicles per day.✹Asphaltic concrete and dense bitumen macadam (DBM) are continuously graded mixtures similar in principle to the DBMs used in roadbases and basecourses but with smaller maximum particle sizes. Asphaltic concrete tends to have a slightlydenser grading and is used for road surfaces throughout the world with the excepting of the UK.✹It is more difficult to meet UK skid resistance Standards with DBMs than HRA, SMA or PA. This problem can be resolves by providing a separate surface treatment but doing so generally makes DBM economically unattractive.✹Stone mastic asphalt (SMA) material was pioneeredin Germany and Scandinavia and is now widely used in the UK. SMA has a coarse, aggregrate skeleton, like PA, but the voids are filled with a fine aggregate/filler /bitumen mortar.✹In mixtures using penetration grade bitumen , fibres are added to hold the bitumen within the mixture (to prevent “binder drainage”).Bitumen✹oil bitumen( earth oil)✹natural bitumen✹TarWhere a polymer modified bitumen is used, there is generally no need for fibres. SMA is a gap-graded material with good resistance to rutting and high durability. modified bitumen✹SBS✹SBR✹PE\EV A✹It differs from HRA in that the mortar is designed to just fill the voids in the coarse aggregate whereas, in HRA, coarse aggregate is introduced into the mortar and does not provide a continous stone matrix. The higher stone content HRAs ,however, are rather similar to SMA but are not wide used as wearing courses in the UK, being preferred for roadbase and basecourse construction.A variety of thin and what were called ultra thin surfacings (nowadays, the tendency is to use the term ‘thin surfacings’ for both thin and ultra thin surfacings )have been introduced in recent years, principally as a result of development work concentrated in France.These materials vary in their detailed constituents but usually have an aggregate grading similar to SMA and often incorporate a polymer modified bitumen.They may be used over a high stiffness roadbase and basecourse or used for resurfacing of existing pavements. For heavy duty pavements (i .e those designed to have a useful life of forty years), the maintenance philosophy is one of minimum lane occupancy, which only allows time for replacement of the wearing course to these ‘long life’ pavement structures. The new generation of thin s urfacings allows this to be conveniently achieved.The various generic mixture types described above can be compared with respect to their mechanical properties and durability characteristics by reference to Fig.12.1. This shows, in principle, how low stone content HRA, asphaltic concrete, SMA and PA mixtures mobilize resistance to loading by traffic.Asphaltic concrete (Fig.12.1a)) presents something of a compromise when well designed, since the dense aggregate grading can offer good resistance to the shear stresses which cause rutting, while an adequate binder content will provide reasonable resistance to the tensile stresses which cause cracking.In general, the role of the aggregate dominates. DBMs tend to have less dense gradings and properties which, therefore, tend towards good rutting resistance and away from good crack resistance.HRA (Fig.12.1b)) offers particularly good resistance to cracking through the binder rich mortar between the coarse aggregate particles. This also provides good durability but the lack of coarse aggregate content inhibits resistance to rutting.SMA and PA are shown in the same diagram ( Fig.c)) to emphasis the dominant role the coarse aggregate. In both case, well coated stone is used. In PA, the void space remains available for drainage of water, whilst in SMA, the space is occupied by a fine aggregate/ filler/ bitumen/ fibre mortar.Both materials offer good rutting resistance through the coarse aggregate content. The tensile strength of PA is low whilst that of SMA is probably adequate but little mechanical testing data have been reported to date.Drainage for Road and Airports✹Provision of adequate drainage is important factor in the location and geometric design of road and airports. Drainage facilities on any highway, street and airport should adequately provide for the flow of water away from the surface of the pavement to properly designed channels.Inadequate drainage will eventually result in serious damage to the structure.✹In addition, traffic may be slowed by accumulated water on the pavement, and accidents may occur as a result of hydroplaning and loss of visibility from splash and spray. The importance of adequate drainage is recognized in the amount of highway construction dollars allocated to drainage facilities. About25 percent of highway construction dollars are spent for erosion control anddrainage structures, such as culverts, bridges, channels, and ditches.✹Highway Drainage Structures✹One of the main concerns of the highway engineer is to provide an adequate size structure, such that the waterway opening is sufficiently large to discharge the expected flow of water.Inadequately sized structures can result in water impounding, which may lead to failure of the adjacent sections of the highway due to embankments being submerged in water for long periods.✹The two general categories of drainage structures are major and minor. Major structures are those with clear spans greater than 20 feet, whereas minor structures are those with clear spans of 20 feet or less .✹Major structures are usually large bridges, although multiple-span culverts may also be included in this class. Minor structures include small bridges and culverts.Emphasis is placed on selecting the span and vertical clearancerequirements for major structures. The bridge deck should be located above the high water mark .The clearance above the high water mark depends on whether the waterway is navigable ✹If the waterway is navigable, the clearance above the high water mark should allow the largest ship using the channel to pass underneath the bridge without colliding with the bridge deck. The clearance height, type, and spacing of piers also depend on the probability of ice jams and the extentto which floating logs and debris appear on the waterway during high water.✹An examination of the banks on either side of the waterway will indicate the location of the high water mark, since this is usually associated with signs of erosion and debris deposits. Local residents, who have lived near and observed the waterway during flood stages over a number of years, can also give reliable information on the location of the high water mark. Stream gauges that have been installed in the waterway for many years can also provide data that can be used to locate the high water mark.Minor structures, consisting of short-span bridges and culverts, are the predominant type of drainage structures on highways. Although openings for these structures are not designed to be adequate for the worst flood conditions, they should be large enough to accommodate the flow conditions that might occur during the normal life expectancy of the structure.✹Provision should also be made for preventing clogging of the structure due to floating debris and large boulders rolling from the banks of steep channels.✹Culverts are made of different materials and in different shapes. Materials used to construct culverts include concrete（reinforced and unreinforced）, corrugated steel, and corrugatedaluminum. Other materials may also be used to line the interiorof the culvert to prevent corrosion and abrasionor to reduce hydraulic resistance. For example, asphaltic concrete may be used to line corrugated metal culverts. The different shapes normally used in culvert construction include circular, rectangular (box), elliptical, pipe arch, metal box, and arch.✹The drainage problem is increased in these areas primarily for two reasons: the impervious nature of the area creates a very high runoff; and there is little room for natural water courses. It is often necessary to collect the entire storm water into a system of pipes and transmit it over considerable distances before it can be loosed again as surface runoff. This collection and transmission further increase the problem, since all of the water must be collected with virtually no pending, thus eliminating any natural storage; and through increased velocity the peak runoffs are reached more quickly.Also, the shorter times of peaks cause the system to be more sensitive to short-duration,high intensive rainfall.Storm sewers,like culverts and bridges,are designed for storms of various intensity-return-period relationships, depending uponthe economy and amount of ponding that can be tolerated.✹Airport Drainage✹The problem of providing proper drainage facilities for airports is similar in many ways to that of highways and streets. However, because of the large and relatively flat surface involved, the varying soil conditions, the absence of natural water courses and possible side ditches, and the greater concentration of discharge at the terminus of the construction area, some phases of the problem are more complex. For the average airport the over-all area to be drained is relatively large and an extensive drainage system is required. The magnitude of such a system makes it even more imperative that sound engineering principles based on all of the best available data be used to ensure the most economical design.Overdesigning of facilities results in excessive money investment with no return, and underdesigning can result in conditions hazardous to the air traffic using the airport. In order to ensure surfaces that are smooth, firm, stable, and reasonably free from flooding, it is necessary to provide a system which will do several things.It must collect and remove the surface water from the airport surfaces; intercept and remove surface water flowing toward the airport from adjacent areas; collect and remove any excessive subsurface water beneath the surface of the airport facilities and in many cases lower the ground-water table; and provide protection against erosion of the sloping areas.路面公路的路面被分为两类：刚性的和柔性的。

Accident Analysis and PreventionThis paper describes a project undertaken to establish a self-explaining roads (SER) design programmeon existing streets in an urban area. The methodology focussed on developing a process to identifyfunctional road categories and designs based on endemic road characteristics taken from functionalexemplars in the study area. The study area was divided into two sections, one to receive SER treatments designed to maximise visual differences between road categories, and a matched control area to remainuntreated for purposes of comparison. The SER design for local roads included increased landscaping andcommunity islands to limit forward visibility, and removal of road markings to create a visually distinctroad environment. In comparison, roads categorised as collectors received increased delineation, additionof cycle lanes, and improved amenity for pedestrians. Speed data collected 3 months after implementationshowed a significant reduction in vehicle speeds on local roads and increased homogeneity of speeds onboth local and collector roads. The objective speed data, combined with r esidents’ speed choice ratings,indicated that the project was successful in creating two discriminably different road categories.2010 Elsevier Ltd.

BackgroundChanging the visual characteristics of roads to influencedriver behaviour has come to be called the self-explaining roads(SER) approach (Theeuwes, 1998; Theeuwes and Godthelp, 1995;Rothengatter, 1999). Sometimes referred to as sustainable safety,as applied in the Netherlands, the logic behind the approach isthe use of road designs that evoke correct expectations and drivingbehaviours from road users (Wegman et al., 2005; Weller etal., 2008). The SER approach focuses on the three key principlesof functionality, homogeneity, and predictability (van Vliet andSchermers, 2000). In practice, functionality requires the creation ofa few well-defined road categories (e.g., through roads, distributorroads, and access roads) and ensuring that the use of a particularroad matches its intended function. Multifunctional roadslead to contradictory design requirements, confusion in the mindsof drivers, and incorrect expectations and inappropriate drivingbehaviour. Clearly defined road categories promote homogeneity intheir use and prevent large differences in vehicle speed, direction,and mass. Finally, predictability, or recognisability, means keepingthe road design and layout within each category as uniform as possibleand clearly differentiated from other categories so that thefunction of a road is easily recognised and will elicit the correctbehaviour from road users. The SER approach has been pursued tothe largest extent in the Netherlands and the United Kingdom but ithas also been of some interest inNewZealand. In 2004, the NationalRoad Safety Committee and the Ministry of Transport articulateda new National Speed Management Initiative which stated “Theemphas is is not just on speed limit enforcement, it includes perceptualmeasures that influence the speed that a driver feels is appropriatefor the section of road upon which they are driving–in effect the ‘selfexplainingroad”’ (New Zealand Ministry of Transport, 2004).In cognitive psychological terms, the SER approach attempts toimprove road safety via two complementary avenues. The first is toidentify and use road designs that afford desirable driver behaviour.Perceptual properties such as road markings, delineated lane width,and roadside objects can function as affordances that serve as builtininstructions and guide driver behaviour, either implicitly orexplicitly (Charlton, 2007a; Elliott et al., 2003; Weller et al., 2008).This work is more or less a direct development of work on perceptualcountermeasures, perceptual cues in the roading environmentthat imply or suggest a particular speed or lane position, eitherattentionally or perceptually (Charlton, 2004, 2007b; Godley et al.,1999).A second aspect of the SER approach is to establish mentalschemata and scripts, memory representations that will allowroad users to easily categorise the type of road on which they are.1.2. Localised speed managementThe traditional approaches to improving speed management,traffic calming and local area traffic management (LATM) havefocussed on treating specific problem locations or “black spots”in response to crash occurrences or complaints from the public(Ewing, 1999). A potential disadvantage of these approaches is thataddressing the problem with localised treatments can lead to are-emergence of the problem at another location nearby. Further,when applied inappropriately, localised approaches may addressthe problem from only one perspective, without considering theimpact on other types of road users or residents. When traffic calmingtreatments rely on physical obstacles such as speed humpsthey can be very unpopular with bothresidents and road users andcan create new problems associated with noise, maintenance, andvandalism (Martens et al., 1997).From an SER perspective, treatments that are highly localizedor idiosyncratic may do more harm than good by adding to themultiplicity of road categories and driver uncertainty, rather thanbuilding driver expectations around a few uniform road types.Instead of considering a single location in isolation, SER roaddesigns are considered within a hierarchy of road functions; e.g.,access roads, collector roads, and arterial roads. Although SERschemes may employ physical design elements used in trafficcalming schemes (e.g., road narrowing with chicanes and accesscontrols) they also employ a range of more visually oriented featuressuch as median and edge line treatments, road markings,pavement surfaces, and roadside furniture. For an effective SERscheme it is important to select the combination of features that will afford the desired driver speeds and to ensure their consistentuse to form distinct categories of road types (van der Horst andKaptein, 1998; Wegman et al., 2005).road category that would meet the three SER principles of functional use, homogeneous use, and predictable use. Herrstedt (2006)reported on the use of a standardised catalogue of treatments compiledfrom researcher and practitioner advice. Goldenbeld and vanSchagen (2007) used a survey technique to determine road characteristicsthat minimise the difference between drivers’ ratingsof preferred speed and perceived safe speed and select road featuresthat make posted speeds “credible”. Aarts and Davidse (2007)used a driving simulator to verify whether the “essential recognisabilitycharacteristics” of different road classes conformed to theexpectations of road users. Weller et al. (2008) employed a range of statistical techniques, including factor analysis and categoricalclustering to establish the road characteristics that drivers use tocategorise different road types.The practical difficulties of implementing an SER system thusbecome a matter of finding answers to a series of questions. Howdoes one create a discriminable road hierarchy for an existingroad network? What road characteristics should be manipulatedto establish category-defining road features? How can SER roadfeatures and selection methods be made relevant and appropriatefor a local context? (Roaddesigns appropriate for The Netherlandswould not be suitable in New Zealand, in spite of its name.) A surveyof national and international expert opinion in order establishcategory-defining road features for New Zealand roads revealedthat the regional character and local topography of roads oftenundercut the usefulness of any standardised catalogue of designcharacteristics (Charlton and Baas, 2006).1.4. Goals of the present projectThe project described in this paper sought to develop anddemonstrate an SER process based on retrofitting existing roadsto establish a clear multi-level road hierarchy with appropriatedesign speeds, ensuring that each level in the hierarchy possesseda different “look and feel”. Rather than transferring SER designs already in use internationally, the project attempted to develop amethod that would build on the features of roads in the local area;extending road characteristics with desirable affordances to otherroads lacking them and creating discriminable road categories inthe process. Of interest was whether such a process could producecost-effective designs and whether those designs would be effectivein creating different road user expectations and distinct speedprofiles for roads of different categories.2. MethodsThe research methodology/SER design process developed forthis project progressed through a series of five stages: (1) selectionof study area; (2) identification of the road hierarchy; (3) analysisof the road features; (4) development of a design template; and (5)implementation and evaluation of the SER treatments. Each of thestages is described in the sections that follow.2.1. Selection of study areaThe study area for this project (Pt England/Glen Innes in Auckland)was selected in consultation with a project steering groupcomprised of representatives from the Ministry of Transport, NewZealand Transport Agency, New Zealand Police, and other localtransport and urban agencies. The study area was an establishedneighbourhood contained amix of private residences, small shops,schools, and churches, and was selected, in part, because of its historyof cyclist, pedestrian and loss of controlcrashes, almost twicethe number。
