Study Notes
Rehabilitation of Bridges
- Rehabilitation of bridges may require due to various reasons such as:
- Physical distress
- Overloading
- Use of non-standard materials (e.g. composite materials)
- Inadequate maintenance
- Introduction of new types of bridges (e.g. steel bridges, suspension bridges)
- Bridges may need rehabilitation due to defects found during inspection, such as:
- Structural distress
- Overloading
- Material deterioration
Inspection and Planning
- Inspection of bridges is necessary to identify defects and determine the required rehabilitation measures
- The inspection should be carried out in accordance with the Indian Railways Bridge Manual
- A thorough inspection report should be prepared, highlighting the defects and recommended repairs
- The report should be reviewed by the Head of the Divisional Office and approved by the Chief Engineer
Execution of Rehabilitation Works
- The execution of rehabilitation works should be carried out under the supervision of the Engineer-in-Charge
- The Engineer-in-Charge is responsible for ensuring the safety of all temporary works during rehabilitation
- The temporary works should be designed and executed in accordance with the Indian Railways Bridge Manual
- Any deviations from the manual should be approved by the Chief Engineer
Strengthening of Foundations
- Strengthening of foundations is necessary to ensure the stability of the bridge
- Various methods can be used, including:
- Replacement of old footings with new ones
- Construction of new foundations with sufficient capacity
- Underpinning of existing foundations
- The method used should be determined based on the site conditions and the type of foundation
