Element Method

Several methods are proposed for improving the slopes stability. We are studying the use of a new technique: concrete lozenges channels. The objective of this technique is to stabilize the slope against water erosion. In addition, it makes it possible to combine both mechanical protection with concrete lozenges channels and protection by plant engineering techniques with plants adapted to the area. The present study is part of the continuation of a parametric study whose purpose was to define the optimal design of concrete lozenges channels. Using the finite element method, the purpose is to study the geotechnical stability of a slope stabilized by said lozenges and to define their constructive arrangements.

Using post-tensioned steel rods for strengthening noncomposite slab-on-steel girder bridges has the beneficial effects of both stabilizing the steel girders laterally and developing partial composite action longitudinally. The stabilizing effect and development of partial composite action are achieved by taking advantage of friction developed at the steel–concrete interface. A bridge reinforced by this technique is expected to have a higher load-carrying capacity and better load distribution under heavy traffic loads. Prestressed rods have been successfully used to strengthen 1/3 scale noncomposite bridge models in laboratory.The concrete slab-on-steel girder bridge models reinforced by prestressed rods are analyzed numerically in this paper by the use of the finite element method. Corresponding noncomposite models are also simulated for comparison to investigate the efficiency of this strengthening technique. The effects of variables such as the number of rods, prestressing level, type of load, slab thickness, steel girder slenderness, girder spacing, and ratio of radii of gyration of steel girders on the strengthening efficiency are studied by the finite element method. A full-scale bridge is analyzed to demonstrate the effect of the proposed reinforcing technique.

The evaluation of girder moments in composite bridges becomes more urgent with the trend to increasing truck loads. The method specified by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials for such an evaluation depends only on the centre-to-centre girder spacing. This method does not account for skew and therefore is extremely conservative for skew composite bridges, since the presence of skew reduces the longitudinal moments in the girders. The method proposed by the Ontario Highway Bridge Design Code (OHBDC) depends on the longitudinal and transverse rigidities of the bridge in addition to the girder spacing. However, this method is limited to bridges with skew parameters less than a certain value specified in the code. In this paper, the influence of skew on the moment distribution factor is investigated. Furthermore, the influences of other factors such as girder spacing, bridge aspect ratio, number of lanes, number of girders, and intermediate transverse diaphragms on the moment distribution factor are examined. An experimental program was conducted on six simply supported skew composite steel–concrete bridge models. The finite element method was used for the theoretical analysis. Good agreement is shown between the experimental results and the theoretical results. In addition, the finite element method was employed to conduct an extensive parametric study on more than 300 prototype composite bridge cases. The data generated from the parametric study were used to deduce expressions for the moment distribution factor for OHBDC truck loading and for dead load. An illustrative example is presented.
