PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BRIDGE DESIGN

21st June 2022 - 09:00-17:00 BST

This webinar will concentrate on the principles of analysis and design of both
pre- and post-tensioning prestressed concrete bridges, the principal way of
using concrete for bridges. Basic design principles will be covered, based on
the fundamental concepts of prestressing, the materials, the anchorages and
splices of tendons, the significance of bond, the degree of prestressing and the
losses. Focus is placed on both the preliminary and final design of prestressed
bridge superstructures at the ULS and SLS, including the loading, the analysis,
the detailing and the construction of prestressed superstructures.

Design is in accordance with the current Eurocode 2 standards but is also
complemented with state-of-the-art knowledge and emerging practices. Economy and
aesthetics are also discussed. Economy is discussed on the basis of material
consumption and cost of construction methods, while aesthetics are linked to
quality design and structural continuity that avoids the visual impact of large
sections and discontinuities due to expansion joints and bearings. The webinar
includes designs of components of real bridges with emphasis on the decks.

Webinar aims for the day include:

Through designing structural components of real bridges students will provide an
in-depth understanding of the principles of prestressed concrete as applied to
bridges as prescribed by modern codes and guidelines of design

Through the application of prestressing on real bridges decks attendees will
gain an understanding of the load balancing method

Through section analysis attendees will determine the serviceability stress and
deflection behaviour of prestressed concrete and the ultimate strength of bridge
superstructures

Through the application of design guidelines and real-world examples this
modules promotes an understanding of the allowable concrete stresses, losses,
reactions (concordant and non-concordant)





Dr Stergios Aristoteles Mitoulis, Associate Professor, Dipl Eng, MSc, PhD, CEng
MICE, Member ASCE, EAEE, SECED, IABSE, Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.
He is the leader of the www.infrastructuResilience.com initiative. Stergios has
supervised and co-supervised numerous doctoral and postdoctoral researchers. He
has published extensively with a publication record exceeding 150 papers in
leading scientific journals and international conferences. His expertise is the
resilience-based design and assessment of assets and in particular transport
infrastructure subjected to natural hazards, climate change, hydraulic hazards,
creep, shrinkage and thermal effects. He is a member of the BSI B/525/10
CEN/TC250/HG-Bridges, the BSI Mirror Group of Eurocodes and UK delegate of the
BSI (CEN/TC250/SC8 Work Group 6, Bridges) for the design and retrofit of
bridges, the BSI committee B/525/8 and B/538/5 and the Workgroup 11 of the EAEE.
He has worked extensively on the modelling, resilient design and assessment of
infrastructure assets with an emphasis on bridges, foundations, abutments and
backfills and use of waste materials in infrastructure. SM was and still is the
coordinator of European projects, while has been the Principal Investigator (PI)
of two KTP (Innovate UK) projects and a proof-of-concept project with Network
Rail-UK on the monitoring of environmental hazards on infrastructure. SM has
worked as Co-PI and researcher for another 19 research projects, relevant to
bridge and networks resilience. He has editorial and reviewing responsibilities
in reputed journals (more than 60). He delivers seminars at consultancies and
also participates in CPD activities as an official lecturer of the Institution
of Civil Engineers in the UK. Stergios is a technical advisor of Involve Nepal a
charity that delivers schools in Nepal and a consultant of the CDRI. He has an
extensive presence in the news of leading news agencies, including the BBC.
