...Waleed K. Hamid; Qahtan A. Hasan; Mohammed K. Mohammed; Sulaiman N. Ahmed The construction of horizontally curved plate I-girder bridges used in modern highway systems has gained traction in recent decades, owing to their economic and aesthetic advantages. However, these girders are considered...

... of scenario 1 was to examine how geometry data obtained by way of LiDAR of a full-scale instrumented bridge built in the BEAST lab may be used to support construction monitoring for QA/QC. Of particular concern related to QA/QC is the clear cover dimension between the top of the bridge deck and the top...

... essential. The construction industries (CIs) are huge in the United Arab Emirates ( UAE ) and dedicated to focusing on ordinary practices, except for key practices such as strategic costing quality and its corresponding metrics on a routine basis to build the CSC mapping module. Therefore...

... ) and improve construction quality, finite-element models were developed to simulate the welding–splicing process of these segments. The formation mechanism of the STD and the effect of key parameters were investigated using the numerical model. The results show that temperature field variations during...

...Javier León; Benedetta Orfeo; Leonardo Todisco; Patrick Miner In Europe, stone masonry bridges make up a significant part of heritage infrastructures. Their design and construction were the subject of several European treatises published in the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries. However...

... the economic vitality of the ports, the original 46 m navigational clearance needed to be raised to 65.5 m in order to accommodate mega container ships passing through the newly widened Panama Canal. Precast concrete segmental construction was used along with an innovative staged construction approach to avoid...

... terminal, the bridge has 6.9 m headroom clearance to the ballast box soffit, consistent with other headroom clearances in the port vicinity. The bridge is founded to the north of the passage, which allowed sections of foundation to be constructed outside the plan operational envelope of ‘A’ bridge...

...David Taylor, MA(Cantab), CEng, MICE Temburong Bridge is a 27 km long crossing linking the two parts of Brunei across Brunei Bay. It includes 13 km of marine viaduct, split into two sections by a cable-stayed bridge. Construction of its twin road decks in the shortest possible time called for a new...

... in the strait were key factors in the development and choice of construction methods for the bridge. This paper describes deck erection with the lifting gantries and focuses on the development, design, testing and operation of the self-erection system – an innovative solution which maximises pre-assembly off...

...Paul Mullins, BE, CEng, MIEI, MIStructE, IntPE(Irl); David Collings, BSc, PhD, CEng, FICE This paper benchmarks the challenges involved with major sea, or fixed link, bridge crossings from their planning to final construction. An overview of existing major fixed link crossings globally, including...
