DESCRIPTION
2. Timber Bridge_an Overview_CrocettiTRANSCRIPT
-
Failure of a (probably the largest
in the world ) timber falsework
-
The Sand bridge
-
Common method for concrete
bridge construction
-
however
in order to create as little disturbance as possible to the ship traffic during construction, a new erection method was adopted
The falsework, a timber arch construction with span of 250m was constructed on the shore and then shipped to the building place
-
Proposed bridge construction method
The longest concrete arch bridge of the world, at the time of construction (1939). Span length: 247,5 m (during shipping, a tension tie was used to take the horizontal trust)
-
Detail of the abutment
(construction phase)
-
Background
The works started in April 1938
Collapse of the timber falsework in 31 August 1939
The timber falsework failed during concreting
18 fatalities

Background
The works started in April 1938
Collapse of the timber falsework in 31 August 1939
The timber falsework failed during concreting
18 fatalities
(On September 1 (the day after the collapse) Hitler declared
war on Poland. Therefore, the news about the collapse of the Sand Bridge did not reach the big headlines and it was soon forgotten by the general public).
-
Cross section of the falsework arch
-
Main reasons of the collapse
Most probable out-of-plane buckling of the arch falsework
Buckling caused by insufficient transversal stiffness of the arches
Misjudgment concerning the stiffness of nailed planks
-
The bridge was finally rebuilt in 1943, however, now using a timber falsework supported all along its length
-
The timber falsework used for the second attempt (and this time successful) to bridge the river ngermanlven at Sand

Importance of right form

New traversina bridge
The suspension cable is tensioned
Timber walkway (upside down arch) Is loaded in compression
The stiffness of the system increases significantly

Diagonals are always subjected to tensile forces,
regardless the load position

An interesting system which is extremly
efficient in reducing the bending moments in
the arch the network arch
The Brandanger steel network arch in western Norway. Span 220m. The worlds most slender arch bridge
-
Traditional vs. network

Network through arch bridge
-
Reduction of bending moments in the arch
Inclined hangers distribute patch load into a wider part of the arch
-
Influence line for bending moment at the
most stressed cross section
-
Truss and trussed arch bridges
-
Connection with slotted-in plates and
dowels

Tynset bridge
To increase the out-of-
plane stability:
- K-shaped bracing
- Wider cross section at
the springings of the
arch
- Moment stiff
connection for out-of-
plane bending

Rena Bridge Designed for military load
Concrete deck, but not in composite action (the deck can freely slide on the top of the timber truss)
Max load: 110 ton!!
-
8mm plate, 10mm slots, 12mm dowel
-
The gap is filled up with a mortar (akrylat). The transmission of
compression occurs through contact. The dowels transmit only shear.
-
Concrete deck not in composite action. Longitudinal movements of : free. Lateral movement: restrained.
