    | FEATURE Precast Segmental Box Girder with Dry Joints and External Tendons INTRODUCTION In some esriy and @ few mare recent segmental bridges erected through spar-ty-span eredion in Nalaysic copecially those associated with metio rail bridges, ary Joints between precast segments were primarly utlised to reduce cost and construction time as well as to eliminate potential prablems with epoxy applications, The structures were genersly desianed with only eternal posttensicned tencans protected ky High Density Folyethylare duste, No rainfercing or prestroecing atoel extended seross the joints. The sode of prastiseto beused in Maleysia for concrete bridge design is BSS400 Part 4. This code doesnot cover, the use of external tendons or cry joints, Reference to the Highways Agency Design Manual for Roads ard Bridges: (DMR) documents BDES and BASE can be used to supplement BS S400 Port 4 and to previdedesign guidanc> nd requirenenis on the use of externa) unbonded prestressing. However, no specific guidance on the design of dry joints is given, It is generally sonepted thet dry joints sive = lower Uimate moment and ultimate shear capacity then glued rmatah-cactjointe with precast segmental conettucton. tis therefore neoessary to fake this inte escount by inraclucing ‘adjustmertsto the design approash end requirements. This desgn note compares the commonly available methads used in the design of precast seamental decks snd recommends the design spproach to be employed where dry joints end extemal tendons sre used, Design references used inthe comparison include: + BSBAD Pert 4— 1990 Code af Practioe for the Design of Conarete Bridges, + BDS8/94 The Design of Concrete Highway Bridges and Structures with Extemal and Unbended Prestessing. + BS EN 1992-2 Eurooade 2 Design of Concrete Structures, + AASHTO Guide Spesifiostion for Design & Construction of Segmental Conarete Bridges 2nd Edition 1999, + Presressad Concrete Bridges: Design & Construcion by Nigel Hewson, = Diy deint Behaviour ef Hellew Box Gitder Segmental Bridges ~ fib Symposium Segmental Construction in Conarete’ New Delhi, 26-29.21. 2004, 24 | JURUTERA apriz01 fy Teh Ty Wout zn Tan Weng tt 1. ULTIMATE MOMENT LIMIT STATE CAPACITY Decks with dry joints behave cifferenthy in bending with Utimete loads to those using glued jointe. The epoxy clus used between the segments crestes a bond of greater siength than the concrete between the segments. No such Bond Is present with dry joints mesning thet when Utimete limit state losding is applied the jcints decompress, ‘and open up. This will lead to reduction in structural siffness and the occurence of larger deflestions with the rotalicne conconivetad at jeints. The ultimate limit otsto failure meshanism wih dry johts end exteinel terdons is due to concret= crushing on the compression side cue to excessive strains As shown en Table 1, of all the design codes invest goted. the oniy design code to recognise the difterent, timate bending failure mechanier of cry jointed dacke a= comparedito glued joints isthe AASHTD Guide Spectfication for Design of Segmental Bridges.

The code makes allowance for the decompression of joints under ukimate limit state loading and the subsequent reduction in, depth through which the compression strut can pass, 3, SHEAR CAPACITY OF DRY JOINT BETWEEN SEGMENTS USING SHEAR KEYS Typically the shear design of dry joints relies on the fiction, capacity of the concrate interfaces between shear keys and the shear resistance of the shear key. A comparison between the various codes of practice and methods avaliable for the design of joints in segmental bridges has been completed. Specific reference has been made to the design of dry joints, Details of the comparison are provided. in Table 2 and an example of typical shear capacities are civen in the attached calculations shown in Table 3.
