Design of the U.S. Grant Bridge Replacement (Concrete Alternative)
Publication: Advanced Technology in Structural Engineering
Abstract
The design and construction method for the proposed concrete alternate for the US Grant replacement bridge is described. The proposed design is a precast segmental box girder structure with a single plane of stay cables along the centerline of the structure. The proposed bridge is a unique unsymmetrical bridge with spans of 350'/875/452', the unequal side span being a result of geometric constraints. The design focuses on providing a robust and serviceable bridge, while maintaining an optimized design that is cost competitive with a steel alternate cable stayed bridge prepared for this site.
