Design a bridge using steel confined prestressed concrete girder with l = 55m

Abstract

This thesis report entitled to “Design A Bridge Using Steel Confined Pre-stressed Concrete Girder With L=55m”. The design calculation and commentary are based on the implementation of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications 4th version 2007. All of units in this document is offered in Standard International Units (SI). This thesis shows the comparison between SCP girder and the other girders which being used in Vietnam. The thesis explains the reasons of choosing SCP girder to replace the traditional reinforced concrete girder. This thesis indicates the detailed process outlining the design steps for SCP girder. The design process is consulted based on the research of MSc. Le Trong Tao about the characteristics of SCP girder. In addition, the author used some related references applying in the design process. Beside designing SCP girder, this thesis also contains the design process of concrete deck slab and concrete pier which are considered as substructure of the bridge. In addition to explain the design steps of the design calculation, the comprehensive commentary goes beyond the specifics of the calculation to offer guidance on different situations that may be encountered in other bridges.
