This paper focused on investigating the problems associated with the expansion joints in Al Murtadha Bridge that may cause significant damage to its structural components. In addition, the considerable expenses associated with the ongoing maintenance of these expansions were also taken into account. An examination was conducted to determine potential strategies for addressing these challenges, with structural analysis carried out using a CSI bridge software program according to AASHTO LRFD 2017. A potential solution was proposed to reduce issues related to expansion joints on bridges and enhance bridge durability, subsequently leading to an improvement in the service life of the bridges. A link slab was designed to connect the two adjacent spans instead of the expansion joint. Two options were suggested the first one uses Conventional Concrete CC in a link slab and the other uses Ultra High Performance Concrete UHPC as another one. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
