23 Structures FDOT Perspective Design Plans Review Group Segmental Bridge Construction Perspective Hathaway Bridge February 23, 2010 FDOT/FTBA Construction Conference Experience and Future Trends Segmental top-down construction techniques are cost effective on large waterway projects where insurance and labor rates are governed by time working from barges. Larger projects generally make segmental construction more cost effective due to the casting yard setup cost being spread over more segmental units and when the amount of work is sufficient to overcome learning- curve inefficiencies.

Segmental alternatives have been Royal Park Bridge competitive against steel box options where February 23, 2010 FDOT/FTBA Construction Conference Brian Blanchard P.E.

107 Structures Design Segmental Plans Review Bridge Group Construction Segmental Substructures Sequence of Erection: Place and Grout Segment to footing Keway Erect remaining segments to a predetermined elevation (usually based on stability). Perform intermediate P.T. to maintain pier stability After all segments have been erected, permanent PT is performed (usually loop tendons through footing) Tendons are then grouted. Typical Precast Column Segment Keyway Splash Zone Requirements: Many states do not allow precast substructure elements to be used within the splash zone. Above the Splash Zone, precast erection can begin. Keyway in Footing to Align / Stress first Segment

110 Structures Design Segmental Plans Review Bridge Group Construction When does Precast Segmental Substructure make sense? When you have a large volume production of typical pier shapes When high quality concrete and geometry control of the piers is extremely important Whenthere is a long lead time for foundations that allows fabrication of pier segments concurrently with foundation work * The major advantage of precasting substructure segments is the * The major advantage of precasting substructure segments is the speed of erection, which surpasses any other conventional method of pier construction.

150 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Presentation Outline Key Points to Understanding Segmental My Background & Perspective Importance of Project Procurement Engineering Roles & Responsibilities Special Considerations

151 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Key Points to Understanding Segmental Segmental bridges are based on a construction technique that has design implications. Know how to build it before starting to design it.

152 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Background A bridge engineer, a Florida PE and FTBA member Involved with segmental bridges continuously since 1979 Working in the USA and internationally Started in Florida on the Keys and now doing SR 826/836 Interchange

153 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Perspective As a designer and construction engineer Preference for contractor driven and design/build projects Typically involved with the bid The best approach is not always the same for every one or every project.

154 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Importance of Project Procurement Three ways to do it: Design Bid Build Design Build After the fact Value Engineering or Construction Modification Different approaches to incorporate construction methods

155 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Design Bid - Build Generic design many assumptions Code based not construction methods or schedule Will be reworked by construction engineer before it can be built Multiple steps/approvals Procurement

156 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Design - Build Specific design known construction method Better initial optimization and faster process More efficient best results Responsibility is where it needs to be Procurement

157 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Value Engineering / Construction Modification Combination approach Used for an advantage Has been very successful More common in tough times Procurement

158 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Engineering Roles & Responsibilities Design Engineer Owner Client Construction Engineer Contractor Client Value Engineering / Design Build

159 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Design Engineer Works for the owner Typical scope Design Drawings Specifications Cost estimates Based on an assumed schedule and means & methods Roles & Responsibilities

160 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design The Design Engineer provides post-design services. Reviews and approves construction ti engineering Based on actual construction engineering Takes time Inefficient Personalities involved Roles & Responsibilities

161 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Construction Engineer Works for contractor Typical scope Integrated shop drawings Construction analysis and camber Temporary works / special equipment Geometry control Post tensioning support Roles & Responsibilities

162 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design The Construction Engineer does the detailed design. Performs time dependent, step by step analysis Incorporates schedule and sequence Analyzes means and methods Uses sophisticated softwareandand is very detailed Roles & Responsibilities

163 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Value Engineering and Design - Build In VE projects, there is overlap between the design and construction engineers. With Design Build, ild the design and construction engineer are the same. Roles & Responsibilities

164 Design and Plans Construction Review Engineer s Group Perspective Structures Design Special Considerations The Construction Method Dictates Design Takes more engineering to Bid & Build Requires high level of planning and coordination Calls for a factory/assembly line mentality Is optimum in design/build
