Functional Requirements

• Concrete structure with low maintenance


• Design to AASHTO LRFD 2004/2006
• Two full lanes + one narrow lane of traffic each carriageway
(AASHTO 6 lanes for design)
• 200m spans with navigation clearance (4m depth at midspan)
• Resistant to seismic and ship impact forces
• Cantilever deck construction (minimise works in river)
• Large diameter bored piles

Extradosed Bridge - Definition

• Extradosed: Tower height = 1/15 to 1/10 of span


• Cable-stayed: Tower height = 1/5 to 1/4 of span
• Karnaphuli:
K h li T
Tower height
h i ht = 1/8 off span

• Extradosed: <30% total vertical load carried by stays


• Cable-stayed:
Cable stayed: >40% total vertical load carried by stays
• Karnaphuli: 45% total (dead+live) carried by stays
Main Bridge Articulation

(1) Construction (temporary erection loads); (2) Normal (traction,wind); (3) Seismic

Shock Transmission Units

• Velocity Sensitive
• Allows “Slow” movements (e.g creep, shrinkage, temperature)
• Locks under impulse loading (e.g. seismic and ship impact)

– 3D LUSAS analysis
Substructure Design
 PIERS 8,9 AND 10
– Compliant structure for seismic
– 3D Framework modelled in RM2000
– Section design using SAM software
– 3.0m diameter piles

 PIER 7
– Insufficient height to fit “legs”
– “Stiffer” so attracts more seismic
load particularly when unscoured
– 3.0m diameter piles

 PIER 6
– Transition between main bridge and
approach viaduct
– Expansion joint
– 1.5m diameter piles

 SOUTH ABUTMENT
– Expansion joint
Transverse No Scour Longitudinal No Scour
Pile Design
THEORETICAL PILE CAPACITY

– 1.5m or 3.0m diameter bored concrete


piles

– AASHTO LRFD Method with


“Service” (unfactored), “Strength”
(factored), and “Extreme” (seismic)
capacities.

– Scoured and unscoured ground


profiles

– Capacities calculated using Nq and δ


(using lower bound friction angle)
NOT LRFD empirical method (based
on uncorrected N)

– Pile toe founded in very dense sand


(N160>50) but Service loads mainly
carried in friction
Pile Testing
Pile Load Test Method
– “O-Cell” test on 1.5m diameter piles

– Cell is located 1m above toe to


measure end bearing resistance and LIMIT DESIGN PILE SETTLEMENT
friction above toe STATE LOAD CRITERIA

– Shaft stresses measured with strain


gauges to show distribution of friction SERVICE 4.2MN
10mm differential settlement
(no need for two-level “O-Cell”) = 20mm total say

– Plot graphs:
STRENGTH 5.6MN 5% diameter=75mm total
Frictional resistance against

End bearing resistance against 5%-10% diameter=150mm
Displacement EXTREME 6.1MN
(Damage Criteria)

– Calculate Total resistance against

Displacement and check (See Table
opposite for Pier 3)

– Results from Pier 3 confirm that
