Box Girder Bridge Construction

A box girder bridge (also known as a Box Section Bridge) is a bridge in which the main beams comprise girders in the shape of a hollow box. The box girder normally comprises either prestressed concrete, structural steel, or a composite of steel and reinforced concrete. The box is typically rectangular or trapezoidal in cross-section. Box girder bridges are commonly used for highway flyovers and for modern elevated structures of light rail transport. Although normally the box girder bridge is a form of beam bridge, box girders may also be used on cable-stayed bridges and other forms.

Types of Admixtures Used In Concrete
Admixtures are natural or manufactured chemicals which are added to the concrete before or during mixing. The most often used admixtures are air-entraining agents, water reducers, water-reducing retarders and accelerators.
We'll discuss The Types of Concrete Admixtures in the following Posts.
Source; TheConstructor
1- Water Reducing Admixtures
Water reducing admixtures, the name itself defines that they are used to minimize the water demand in a concrete mix. Workability is the important property of concrete which is improved with the addition of water but if the water is added more than required the strength and durability properties of concrete gets affected.
In addition, to increase in workability it also improves the strength of concrete, good bond between concrete and steel, prevents cracking, segregation, honeycombing, bleeding etc. Water reducing admixtures are also called as plasticizers and these are classified into three types namely plasticizers, mid-range plasticizers and superplasticizers. Normal plasticizer reduces the water demand by up to 10%, mid-range plasticizers reduce the water demand by up to 15% while superplasticizers reduce the water demand by up to 30%.

2- Retarding Admixtures
Retarding admixtures slow down the rate of hydration of cement in its initial stage and increase the initial setting time of concrete. These are also called as retarders and used especially in high-temperature zones where concrete will set quickly. The quick setting in some situations may lead to discontinuities in structure, the poor bond between the surfaces creates unnecessary voids in concrete etc. Retarders are useful to eliminate this type of problems. Commonly used retarding admixture is calcium sulphate or gypsum. Starch, cellulose products, common sugar, salts of acids are some other retarders. Most of the water-reducing admixtures are also acts as retarding admixtures and they are called as retarding plasticizers.

Types of Admixtures Used In Concrete ...con’t...from the above

3- Accelerating Admixtures

Accelerating admixtures are used to reduce the initial setting time of concrete. They speed up the process of the initial stage of hardening of concrete hence they are also called as accelerators. These accelerators also improve the strength of concrete in its early stage by increasing the rate of hydration. Earlier hardening of concrete is useful in several situations such as early removal of formwork, less period of curing, emergency repair works, for constructions in low-temperature regions etc. Some of the accelerating admixtures are triethanolamine, calcium formate, silica fume, calcium chloride, finely divided silica gel etc. Calcium chloride is the cheap and commonly used accelerating admixture.

4- Air Entraining Concrete Admixture

Air entraining admixtures are one of the most important inventions in concrete technology. Their primary function is to increase the durability of concrete under freezing and thawing conditions. When added to the concrete mix, these admixtures will form millions of non-coalescing air bubbles throughout the mix and improves the properties of concrete. Air entrainment in concrete will also improve the workability of concrete, prevents segregation and bleeding, lower the unit weight and modulus of elasticity of concrete improves the chemical resistance of concrete and reduction of cement or sand or water content in concrete etc. Most used air entrainment admixtures are visual resin, darex, Teepol, Cheecol etc. These admixtures are actually made of Natural wood resins, alkali salts, animal and vegetable fats and oils etc.

5- Pozzolanic Admixtures

Pozzolanic admixtures are used to prepare dense concrete mix which is best suitable for water retaining structures like dams, reservoirs etc. They also reduce the heat of hydration and thermal shrinkage. Best pozzolanic materials in optimum quantity give the best results and prevent or reduces many risks such as alkali-aggregate reaction, leaching, sulfate attack etc. Pozzolanic materials used as admixtures are either natural or artificial. Naturally occurring Pozzolanic materials are the clay, shale, volcanic tuffs, pumicite, etc. and artificial pozzolans available are fly ash, silica fume, blast furnace slag, rice husk ash, surkhi etc.

6- Damp-proofing Admixtures

Damp-proofing or waterproofing admixtures are used to make the concrete structure impermeable against water and to prevent dampness on the concrete surface. In addition to the waterproof property, they also act as accelerators in the early stage of concrete hardening. Damp proofing admixtures are available in liquid form, powder form, paste form etc. The main constituents of these admixtures are aluminium sulfate, zinc sulfate aluminium chloride, calcium chloride, silicate of soda etc. which are chemically active pore fillers.

#SPECIAL_METHODS_OF_SPIRIT_LEVELLING

🎓 #Differential_levelling: it is the method of direct levelling the object of which is solely to determine the difference in elevation of two point regardless of the horizontal positions of the point with respect of each other. When the points are apart, it may be necessary to set up the instruments serveral times. This type of levelling is also known as fly levelling.

🎓 #Profile_levelling: It is the method of direct-levelling the object of which is to determine the elevations of point at measured intervals along a given line in order to obtain a profile of the surface along that line.

🎓 #Cross-sectioning: cross-sectioning or cross-levelling is the process of taking levels one each side of a main line at right angles to that line, in order to determine a vertical cross-section of the surface of the ground, or of underlying strata, or of both.

🎓 #Reciprocal_levelling: It is the method of levelling in which the difference in elevation between two points is accurately determined by two sets of reciprocal observations when it is not possible to set up the level between the two points.

🎓 #Precise_levelling: It is the levelling in which the degree of precision required is too great to be attained by ordinary methods, and in which, therefore, special equipment or special precautions or both are necessary to eliminate, as far as possible, all sources of error

Topic: #Railway_Engineering

🎓 #Colour_Light_Signals: These are high intensity beam colour light signals, particulary used on electrified rail ways, both during day and night time.

🎓 #Coning_of_Wheels: The wheels are coned at a slope of 1 in 20 to prevent from rubbing the inside face of the the rail head and to prevent lateral movement of the axle with its wheels. This is known as coning of wheels.

🎓 #Creep_of_Rails: Creep is the longitudinal movement of rails in a track. It occurs due to several reasons. The effect of creep tends to drag the track if ballast is insufficient to hold the rails.

🎓 #Crossing_Clearance: The clear distance between the wing rail and the crossing rail is known as crossing clearance. This clearance is theoretically same as clearance at the throat but in practice it is slightly greater than at the throat.

🎓 #Crossing_Number: The number of crossing is defined as the ratio of spread (¡.e, distance between the point and splice rails at the leg of crossing, generally 30 cm.) to the length of crossing are designated by this number
