265 Method of constructing partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge using thermal prestressing technique US11372124 2006-03-10 US20060200920A1 2006-09-14 Sang-hyo Kim
Disclosed is a method of constructing partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridges using a thermal prestressing technique, in which, when a steel girder-type partially earth-anchored cable-stayed bridge is built using a cantilever construction technique, the center of an intermediate span of the bridge is closed with a final key segment using a thermal prestressing technique, thus applying an initial axial tensile force to reinforcing girders of the bridge. To apply the initial axial tensile force to the reinforcing girders while the center of the intermediate span is closed with the final key segment, an appropriate space length required for closure of the final key segment is determined, and both the heating region and the heating temperature of the reinforcing girders according to the initial axial tensile force to be applied to the reinforcing girders during a process of manufacturing the final key segment are determined. Thereafter, the reinforcing girders are heated using a heating means according to the above-determined conditions, thus being thermally lengthened to predetermined lengths corresponding to the predetermined space length. The junction between the reinforcing girders at the center of the intermediate span is closed with the final key segment and, thereafter, the heating means is removed from the reinforcing girders.
266 Prefabricated, prestressed bridge system and method of making same US11337206 2006-01-20 US20060162102A1 2006-07-27 Guy Nelson
The prefabricated, prestressed bridge system comprises one or more prefabricated, prestressed bridge modules. Each module includes one or more steel beams arranged in a first direction on three or more supporting formwork elements that are arranged in a second direction generally perpendicular to the first direction. Rebar runs through the steel beams in a direction perpendicular to the steel beams and above at least two of the supporting formwork elements. Concrete material is poured to form concrete diaphragms on top of and around the rebar at locations above the supporting formwork elements. After the diaphragms are poured, one or more of the supporting formwork elements are adjusted to stress the steel beams. A concrete deck is fabricated over the surface atop the diaphragms and the steel beams such that the resulting compression stress of the concrete deck secures in place the stresses imparted to the steel beams.

A method for assembly of a stay includes a series of steps that include connecting in the vicinity of an anchoring zone, a new group of N reinforcements to a shuttle located within the sheath of a stay to be installed. The shuttle is driven towards another anchoring zone by means of driving and guiding means. When the shuttle has arrived substantially in the vicinity of the anchoring zone, and as long as entangling is detected between the driving and guiding means in a portion contained substantially between the shuttle and the first anchoring zone, the shuttle is rotated about its main axis in the opposite direction to the said entangling. The group of N reinforcements is then separated from the shuttle. Each reinforcement of the group is tensioned between the anchoring zones. The preceding steps are repeated until the installation of the reinforcements is completed.

280 Precast concrete bridge structure and associated rapid assembly methods US408457 1995-03-22 US5771518A 1998-06-30 Michael Lee Roberts
A pier and beam bridge structure is formed essentially entirely from steel reinforced, precast concrete elements including elongated, hollow tubular pier members, pier collars, pier base and cap beams, deck beams, deck slabs and side railing members. In forming the support pier structures, the pier members are inserted into dry-drilled pier base excavations through opposite end openings formed in the ground-supported base beams, and are outwardly circumscribed by the collars which are received at their opposite ends in the base beam end openings and openings in the cap beams which are supported at the upper pier ends. A loose aggregate material is dumped into the pier member interiors, and the annular collar and excavation spaces surrounding the pier members. Polymer concrete is then forced downwardly through the pier member interiors, and upwardly through these annular spaces, and cures in a matter of minutes to complete the fabrication of each pier structure. The precast deck beams, deck slabs and railing members are then sequentially installed and rapidly interconnected using hollow connecting pin members inserted into aligned openings formed in abutting concrete surfaces and grouted into place using a quick-setting polymer concrete.
