Level 2 & Level 3 Inspection, Structural Assessment, Load Bearing Capacity, And Associated Cost Analysis Of Dugay's Road Bridge
Project Scope
Level 2 and Level 3 Inspection, Structural Assessment, Load Bearing Capacity, And Associated Cost Analysis Of Dugay’s Road Bridge.
Dugay’s Bridge Rd. is a concrete bridge consisting of 3 simply supported spans with the total length of 45.856 m and total width of 7.12 m (6.20m is the carriage path width). The structural components of the bridge are listed as follows:
- Cast-in-situ reinforced concrete deck
- Five precast concrete girders in each span with the distance of 1.50 m centres
- Two cast-in-situ reinforced concrete Abutments (A1 & A2)
- Two cast-In-situ reinforced concrete pier walls (PW1 & PW2)
The following tasks were carried out:
- Detailed Inspection in Accordance with VicRoads “Road Structure Inspection Manual – 2018”
- Measurement of all Material Properties utilising NDT Techniques
- Modelling and Structural Analysis of the Bridge Utilising SAP 2000 Computer Software in Accordance with AS 5100.7:2007 Bridge Assessment
- Calculating Rating Factor of the Bridge
- The following NDT Techniques were carried out:
- Compressive Strength (SONREB Method (combining method) utilising Ultrasonic Pulse Velocity and Digital Rebound Hammer)
