Heuristic optimization of prestressed concrete precast pedestrian bridges
This paper deals with the economic optimization of prestressed concrete precast pedestrian bridges typically used in public works construction. These bridges are made of a precast concrete beam that integrates an upper reinforced concrete slab for the pedestrian traffic. The beam has a U-shape cross-section. Typical span lengths range from 20 to 40 m and the width ranges from 3.00 to 6.00 m. Th...
متن کاملOPTIMAL OPERATORS OF GENETIC ALGORITHM IN OPTIMIZING SEGMENTAL PRECAST CONCRETE BRIDGES SUPERSTRUCTURE
Bridges constitute an expensive segment of construction projects; the optimization of their designs will affect their high cost. Segmental precast concrete bridges are one of the most commonly serviced bridges built for mid and long spans. Genetic algorithm is one of the most widely applied meta-heuristic algorithms due to its ability in optimizing cost. Next to providing cost optimization of t...
متن کاملPrecast Concrete Elements
Lattice-girder floor slabs and double-wall elements have been successfully used in building and industrial construction for decades. These precast elements of 50 – 70 mm thickness serve as permanent formwork for the subsequently added in-situ concrete creating a monolithic structure. The high prefabrication level allows the construction period to be significantly minimized. The main goal is the...
متن کاملFoam Concrete Precast Elements in Composite Concrete-GFRP Plate Girders
This paper is focused on using foam concrete as structural element in polymer-concrete composite plate girders. Trial mixes of foam concrete and different proportions of foam agent were considered to obtain the suitable mix that can be used as structural element in composite girders system. Details of the experimental investigations on foam concrete precast slabs and polymer-concrete composite ...
متن کاملAutomated Geometry Control of Precast Segmental Bridges
The short-line match-cast joint method of pre-casting concrete segments has proved to be the most versatile and reliable way to building pre-cast segmental bridges. The essential feature of match casting is that successive segments are cast against adjoining segment in the correct relative orientation with each other starting from the first segment away from the pier. The segments are subsequen...
