GREAT PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BEAMS FOR THE BEST BRIDGES

ABM PRECAST SOLUTIONS SPECIALISE IN THE PRODUCTION OF PRESTRESSED CONCRETE

BEAMS ALONG WITH AN INNOVATIVE RANGE OF PRECAST REINFORCED AND POST-TENSIONED

CONCRETE PRODUCTS

As the largest producer of prestressed bridge beams in Britain we offer a comprehensive range of beam

profiles as well as complementary reinforced concrete products developed and tailored to the needs of

individual projects.

We offer a comprehensive service to the UK civil engineering sector with the capability to design and

manufacture a vast range of precast concrete weighing up to 120 tonnes.

Working with leading civil engineers and designers, we’re proud to be part of many of the country’s major

civil engineering projects. At our Nottinghamshire plant, we bring together extensive practical experience

with technical know–how to ensure that we can deliver innovative and competitive solutions in the most

challenging situations.

Precast concrete gets the job done faster – major components can be factory produced simultaneously

with site preparation. On site, precast concrete minimises the environmental impact of construction,

creating less noise, debris and pollution risk.

From our 24,000m² production facility in North Nottinghamshire, we’re ideally placed to service the UK’s civil engineering industry with the capability to

produce units weighing more than 120 tonnes and over 40m long.

Where flexibility, durability, ease of construction and value engineering are the driving forces, ABM has the

Precast Solution.

This technical data book covers the key features of our Prestressed beam range. Should you require additional

information, please contact us.

In addition to the range of prestressed bridge beams described in this literature, ABM also offer a wide

range of bespoke precast concrete components for bridge and other civil engineering applications. These

include containment parapets, cill beams and units for deck edges, sea defences, rail maintenance depot

components, arch and portal frame bridge systems etc..

Prestressed Bridge Beams are at the heart of thousands of bridging solutions around the world. ABM Precast Solutions offers a vast range of beam configurations to meet today’s complex bridge construction demands.

14 ‘standard’ beam types and infinite ‘bespoke’ possibilities are available to span over 40 metres.

Prestressed Bridge Beams can be complemented with secondary cast on reinforced concrete stringcourses or parapets significantly reducing time and cost on site (see Ancillary Components section).

SPAN [m]

04Medium to long bridges (spans up to 38.5m). Allows inspection and maintenance of the deck slab soffit and bearings. The complementary YE beam provides an edge detail able to support parapet loading with no need for formwork and in-situ concrete.

06

Medium to long bridges (spans up to 45m). Ideal for high torsion skewed applications. Provides a readymade edge detail and can easily accommodate services.

08

Medium to long bridges (spans up to 38m). Ideal for high torsion skewed applications. Provides a readymade edge detail and can easily accommodate services.

10

Short to medium bridges (spans up to 22.5m). Where rebated, can be used in ‘Beam and Slab’ construction. The complementary TYE beam provides an edge detail able to support parapet loading with no need for formwork and in-situ concrete.

12

Short to medium bridges (spans up to 23.5m). Narrow section reduces unit weights minimising lifting capacity required. The complementary TE beam provides an edge detail able to support parapet loading with no need for formwork and in-situ concrete. The unique ABM PT/PTE profile provides a cross-section offering significantly more potential strand positions than the traditional T/TE sections.

14

Short to medium bridges (spans up to 25.5m). Provides a rapid, safe working platform with minimum in-situ concrete, ideal for use over railway lines.

16

(Standard Bridge Beam) Short bridges (spans up to 13m). Ideal for short span bridges with a closed soffit and less in-situ concrete than other alternatives.

18Short to medium bridges (spans up to 19m). Combines the advantages of the wide soffit of the M beam with the Y beam stem able to accommodate increased strand numbers allowing rapid construction of short and medium span bridges. The complementary MYE beam provides an edge detail able to support parapet loading with no need for formwork and in-situ concrete.

20

Medium to long bridges (simply supported spans up to 30m), typically used to produce a closed soffit construction in longer span road bridges.

PT / PTE Applications and Features

Short to medium bridges (spans up to 23.5m). Narrow section reduces unit weights minimising lifting capacity required. The complementary TE beam provides an edge detail able to support parapet loading with no need for formwork and in-situ concrete. The unique ABM PT/PTE profile provides a cross-section offering significantly more potential strand positions than the traditional T/TE sections.

PARAPETS - SEPARATE, STITCH-ON CONNECTION

Y YE W U TY TYE PT PTE BOXBEAM SBB MY MYE M UM

Where parapets cannot be supplied as an integral cast-on part of the deck edge beams, separate units can be supplied and connected to the deck structure with an in-situ stitch.

PARAPETS - SEPARATE, BOLT-ON CONNECTION

Y YE W U TY TYE PT PTE BOXBEAM SBB MY MYE M UM

Where the use of in-situ concrete has to be minimised or eliminated, fixings can be cast in to precast beams to allow a bolt-on connection for the Parapet Unit.

PARAPETS - SEPARATE, BRICK SANDWICH

Y YE W U TY TYE PT PTE BOXBEAM SBB MY MYE M UM

Where a masonry finish is required to both sides of a containment parapet on a bridge deck edge, the ‘Brick Sandwich’ technique can be used. In this construction the brickwork forms an integral part of the containment and acts as formwork for the structural concrete core.

This detail is commonly used in rail overbridges and is constructed in accordance with Network Rail instructions and BS6779-4:1999, as detailed on Network Rail standard drawings.

DESIGNERS’ NOTES

1. Prestressed beams can be used for a large variety of structures to provide high quality, economic, time saving, durable solutions. These include, but are not restricted to:

− Highway bridges − Railway bridges − Footpath & Bridleway bridges − Cut & cover tunnels − Ramps to car & bus parks − Large spans within buildings

2. The type of prestressed beam most suitable for a structure will be dependent upon a number of factors such as:

− Desired Span − Loading − Available construction depth − Requirements for open or closed soffit to deck − Desire to construct without movement joints or bearings in continuous and integral structures − Accessibility for lorries to deliver and cranes to place beams

3. Design considerations: a. Supports to beams can be by use of bearings such as elastomeric pads or strips with sliding surfaces for larger spans to enable movement and dowels for resisting horizontal forces. Proximity of bearings to the beam ends should be considered in accordance with the relevant design code.

b. Beam ends can be made continuous with adjacent spans or substructure to provide moment, shear and axial transfer. c. Beam lengths and cross sections will be manufactured in accordance with tolerances of relevant design codes. Allowance will be made in manufacture for the elastic shortening of the beams due to prestress. d. Prestress will result in a pre-camber of the beams which should be taken into consideration in the structure layout. Due to variations in the elasticity of concrete with age, strength and climate the pre-camber will vary but the order of magnitude can be predicted. e. Skews to beam ends should be avoided where possible but can be made up to 45° if necessary. f. Cast in items to the faces of beams can normally be accommodated but should be discussed with ourselves at the earliest opportunity to avoid clashes with strand and reinforcement. g. Fittings or reinforcement projecting from the beam sides or through the soffit should be avoided. h. Straight reinforcement projecting from the beam ends can normally be provided for continuity. i. Debonding of strands can be made to avoid unacceptable stresses near the beam ends and to aid the design of beams requiring continuity at their ends. j. The sides and soffits of the beams will normally be as cast from steel moulds. The top concrete surface will be a suitable finish to provide bond with in-situ concrete over. k. Beams must be lifted using the proprietary lifters that will be cast in near the beam ends. Bearers for stacking and transport should be at the same distance from the beam ends as the lifters.

ADDITIONAL NOTES

27

BS EN ISO 9001:2008 Quality Management System ABM’s Quality Management System incorporates Quality Assurance that governs our design and manufacturing procedures and practices, ensuring that every job is done right the first time and consistently meets client and regulatory requirements.

The ABM QA Manual and QA Procedures comply with BS EN ISO 9001:2008.Independent audits by international assessment, verification and certification body NQA provide UKAS recognised accreditation for the scheme.

CE MarkingRigorous Factory Production Control (FPC) measures are in place and independently audited to be in line with the requirements for CE marking. Where harmonised European product standards are in place, CE marking is applied.

Concrete finishes

Unless specifically agreed otherwise, the finishes to prestressed beams will be as follows:- - Soffit - F3 - External faces - F2 - Internal faces - F1 - Upper face - U1 with grit-blast treatment to remove laitance

Beam delivery

Specialist delivery vehicles are used for delivery of Prestressed bridge beams, however, during transport of larger prestressed beams it may be necessary to support the beam at points up to 20% of the beam length from the end. The consulting engineer/beam designer must satisfy themselves that the beam design is such that any loads imparted on the beam by this method of support are not detrimental. Should ABM incur any additional costs as a result of this these will be charged in accordance with our normal terms and conditions for additional works.

Loading assumption notes

− Eurocodes in conjunction with the relevant UK Annexes − LM1, LM2 and the applicable range of LM3 (SV vehicles) road vehicle live loading models are applied − 100mm to 250mm surfacing thickness (depending on beam type) − Grade C50/60 concrete used for prestressed beams, grade C40/50 used for in-situ concrete − 120 year design life − Exposure classes XC3/4 and XD1 − Total beam lengths are at least 500mm greater than the clear span
