Introduction During the rehabilitation of the Hogg's Hollow Bridge on Highway 401 westbound collector (see Appendix A for details), it was found that a significant deficiency existed in the shear resistance of the existing steel girders at the end-support locations when calculated according to the specifications of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CSA 2006).
Funding for the replacement of the South Twin Sister, Riverview Crescent and Mary Street bridges wasn't acquired until COMRIF Intake Three, when the two senior levels of government committed $400,000 to the project, to make each bridge capable of full highway loading capacity, with widths and railings that meet the current Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code.
Introduction During the rehabilitation of the Hogg's Hollow Bridge on Highway 401 WB Collector, it was found that a significant deficiency existed in the shear resistance of the existing steel girders at the end-support locations when calculated according to the specifications of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC) (CSA 2006).
Abstract: This paper presents a synthesis of the design provisions of the second edition of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC) for fibre-reinforced structures.
Abstract: The Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC) does not permit the use of glass-fibre-reinforced polymer (GFRP) for primary reinforcement or prestressing tendons in concrete components.
Segment A of the bridge deck slab was reinforced with steel reinforcement and designed using the empirical design method according to the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code (CHBDC) (CSA 2000) (Fig.
The success of this project led to the inclusion of this design philosophy in the Canadian highway bridge design code (CHBDC) (CSA 2000) and the construction of more bridges with deck slabs designed according to the internal arching concept (Bakht and Mufti 1998).
In particular, the Canadian highway bridge design code (CHBDC) (CSA 2000, 2006) includes a new section (chapter 16) about using FRP composites as reinforcement for concrete bridges.
