5 Project Location Hoffman Estates, IL 30 miles NW of Chicago Twin bridges span over I-90 I-90 reconstructed and widened Heavily traveled corridor o (118,000 vehicles per day) I-90
6 Project Overview Existing Bridges I957 I978 -WB 5 simple spans: 471 ft total length -WB 60 deep plate girders -WB fracture critical substructure -WB no skew counterfort wall abut -EB 3 continuous spans: 503 ft total length -EB 81 deep plate girders -EB skewed counterfort wall abut
7 Project Overview New Bridges Two 280 ft continuous spans: 560 ft total length 49-3 wide deck to carry three lanes 70º skew all supports Six plate girder cross section Webs are 9-6 deep X-type intermediate cross frames Full depth diaphragm along skew at abutments Full depth diaphragm normal to girders at pier 8 deck
8 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
9 Behavior of Skewed Structures Girder differential deflection causes cross-section lateral deflections and twist Non skewed diaphragms o Diaphragm Loads o Flange Lateral Bending
10 Behavior of Skewed Structures Transverse load paths through cross frames Nuisance Stiffness Effects Lateral reactions develop at the bearings
11 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
12 Framing Plan Opposite direction of rotation between span 1 and 2 G1 G6 G1 G6 SPAN 1 LOOKING TOWARDS ABUT 2 SPAN 2 LOOKING TOWARDS ABUT 2
13 Framing Plan Selectively remove cross frames near the pier o Nuisance stiffness, reduce transverse load paths Use full depth diaphragms at interior pier location o Attract load at two distinct locations Use staggered cross frame pattern at skewed ends o Eliminate the transverse load paths
14 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
15 3D Finite Element Analysis Properly model girder torsional stiffness and warping stiffness Can account for load shifting between girders Explicitly model all cross frame members and full-depth diaphragms Live load influence surface analysis 2D grid analysis inaccurate results: o Cross frame forces o Girder displacements o Ref: NCHRP Report 725
16 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
17 Steel Details Full-depth end diaphragm (length ~ 23.5 ft) o Too long for a K-type cross frame Auxiliary stiffeners (back-up stiffeners)
18 End Diaphragm Full depth diaphragm connected to bent stiffener plate Bolted jacking stiffener installed after end diaphragm due to conflict Bolted Jacking Stiffener
19 Full Depth Diaphragm at Pier Detail to avoid interference with fixed bearing at skewed pier
20 Lateral Bracing Prevent stability problems during construction o Increases global buckling strength of the initial twin girder systems during steel erection Prevent excessive deflections due to wind loading during construction before deck is placed Placed at the top flange level near neutral axis to limit participation in resisting live load Bolted directly to flange Not full-length Span 5
21 Fit Condition Severe skew leads to: o Out of plumb webs after dead load is applied o Excessive bearing rotation o Try to control this rotation via detailing AASHTO Article o Fit condition to be specified in the contract documents Span 5
22 Fit Condition NSBA publication: Skewed and Curved Steel I-Girder Fit Describes fit and customary practices, 3 choices: o No load fit (NLF) o Steel dead load fit (SDLF) o Total dead load fit (TDLF) Provides recommendations o Straight square bridges: Any o Straight skewed bridges: SDLF or TDLF o Curved bridges (up to ~ 250 span): SDLF, then NLF Span 5
23 Detailing and Fit For SDLF and TDLF the crossframes are forced into place and the girders are twisted out of plumb during the erection Steel Dead Load Fit (SDLF) chosen o Disc bearing accommodates rotations Concrete dead load Live load o Erection simpler & faster than TDLF o Limited construction windows Span 5
24 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
25 Bearing Design Fixed Bearing Guided Expansion Bearing Non Guided Expansion Bearing
26 Fixed Bearing Design Large horizontal reactions from skew Horizontal reactions increase with distance from centerline of bridge
27 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
28 Deck Placement Analysis Girder camber is dependent on the sequence of the deck placement Differences in deflection o Single monolithic deck pour deck placement sequence Verify deck stresses resulting from pour sequence will not result in cracking
29 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
30 Conceptual Erection Sequence
31 Conceptual Erection Sequence Analysis Use LARSA 3D FEM to check: o Temporary Support Structure Placement maintain three I-90 lanes in each direction o Hold Crane Placement o Girder Stresses, Deflections, Reactions (no uplift) Potential issues: o Reduced Girder buckling capacity o Loading is less than in the final condition, but the girder capacity is also less
32 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
33 Pier Design 130 long Severe skew and fixed bearing condition led to high lateral forces in opposite directions Segmented pier: o Better accommodate internal thermal force demands o Reduce torsion in pier cap Circular columns directly under girders to effectively carry vertical reaction
34 Pier Cap
35 Presentation Outline Project Overview Design o Behavior of Skewed Structures o Framing Plan o 3D Finite Element Analysis o Steel Details and Fit Condition o Bearing Design o Deck Placement Analysis o Conceptual Erection Sequence o Pier Design Construction Summary
36 Shop Fit-Up
37 Abutments Stub abutments on battered piles behind soldier pile wall Soldier pile wall to limit span lengths o 600 foot long soldier pile walls parallel to I-90 o Minimized structure excavation in tight space Avoid conflicts with existing piles
38 Pier Cap Detailing Bar Terminator Anchorage Reinforcement
39 Steel Erection
40 Deck Placement Issue: o Difference between paver maximum skew and bridge skew o Steel framing potential twist in an unintended manner Solution: o Place concrete along bridge skew ahead of paver skew and use retarder to delay set
41 Deck Placement Deck overhang brackets for 9-6 deep plate girder
42 Swivel Type Modular Expansion Joint Multi-directional movement capability Detail girders and end diaphragms to accommodate joint Special closure pour at joints o To minimize movement due to dead load effects (racking) o To reduce shrinkage effects Span 5
