What are the different bridge site stages? PGSuper [Trade Mark] models the "life" of a precast girder in 4 distinct stages. The first stage is in the casting yard. This is called the Casting Yard Stage. The next stage is JBridge Site Stage 1. In this stage, the non-composite girder is at the bridge site, sitting on its bearing points, and it is carrying its selfweight plus the weight of the wet bridge deck. The next stage is Bridge Site Stage 2. In this stage superimposed dead loads are applied to the composite girder. The final stage is Bridge Site Stage 3. In this stage, live load is applied to the structure.

OBS

Avoid the expression "dead load" on account of its ambiguity

OBS

Selfweight: term standardized by ISO.

CONT

Option structures [...] Dans la première partie du cours, on approfondit les connaissances acquises au cours de résistance des matériaux en étudiant des cas concrets d’immeubles de logement ou de bureaux. Dans la deuxième partie du cours, on étudie les techniques de réalisation d’une couverture à grande portée. Une étude personnelle sur un ensemble de réalisations et un avant-projet complètent cette deuxième partie. La troisième partie est consacrée aux études en laboratoire. [...] Programme [...] Sollicitations d’une structure. Poids propre. Charges permanentes. Surcharges d’utilisation. Surcharges climatiques.

CONT

En rapprochant les pieux j’augmente l’effet de groupe, mais je diminue les moments dans la semelle et les charges verticales (poids propre + charges des terres). Le tassement a été calculé sous charges de service à long terme. En tenant compte de l’effet de groupe j’ai obtenu un tassement maximal de 1.7 cm.

OBS

Ne pas confondre la charge permanente et le poids propre qui exclut la notion de la poussée ou de la charge des terres qui ajoute au poids de la structure.

OBS

Éviter le terme «poids mort» en raison de son ambiguité.

OBS

Poids propre: terme normalisé par l’ISO.
