Abstract:

This technical note describes the influence of wind speed on the thermal behavior of bridges. It supplements the paper 'Thermal Movements of Concrete Bridges: Field Measurements and Methods of Prediction' published in Volume 1 of the Proceedings. A theoretical method of calculating bridge termperatures was developed which gave good agreement with measured values. Using this theoretical method, it is shown that the influence of the wind speed is greater on the values of the maximum bridge temperature than on the minimum values.

Abstract:

Many important issues about bearings were identified by Fritz Leonhardt, keynote speaker at the Congress. His main point was that bearings should be designed and installed to function effectively for up to 100 years. Problems in achieving this goal were discussed. . .The session identified areas in which additional work is needed; these are summarized in a table. The resolution, carried during the Congress, to form a permanent technical committee on bearing systems, a companion to ACI Committee 504, Joint Sealants, is a first step in improving communications. The Congress, attended by over 300 people, was an outstanding success.

Symposium Papers

Volume:

Abstract:

This technical note describes several expansion joint and drainage details used on bridges in Europe. The details include a technique to prevent deterioration of bituminous surfacings at expansion joints, an adjustable drainage grating, a combination drainage/ventilation element and an expansion bellows to prevent damage to utility pipes from movement of the bridge.
