| dc.description.abstract | Because of the growing economic, in Taiwan, the proportion of bridges and viaduct (high ways) is increasing in the road construction. Some unusual bridges also have the function to landscape. Due to the continually new technology and the advancing design ability, most of bridges use steel plate deck bridges in recent years. Also, there are more and more bridges have larger span and unusual model. And, the strength of steel plate deck bridges is much different with traditional concrete plate deck bridges. How to decrease the loads that the bridges can accept effectively is the most important issue for steel plate deck bridge.
The primary purpose to pave on the roads is to offer a road which is safe and flat for driving, and also have enough strengths and lastingness. Moreover, bridges usually are located at major traffic sites and connected with other main routes. So, they have to face stricter environment. However, the partly transformation is larger when the steel plate deck get the weight from wheels. And, the material is easier to be affected by the weather factors. Therefore, they need to be protected specially and carefully. In other countries, the request of construction between steel plate deck bridges and traditional bridges are a lot of different. Taiwan is located near seas and has abundant rains. Thus, the steel plate deck bridges will face stricter tests.
This study focuses on discussing and evaluating the related results of using every kind of asphalt concrete on the steel plate deck bridges. Also, using the tests from the labs, and the analyses of bridges structures to find which type is suitable for Taiwan. Moreover, the study intends to implement the Guss asphalt concrete mixtures used for trial construction in Taiwan.
According the results of the testes, it has better bents when using Guss asphalt concrete on steel plate deck. Furthermore, it really has non pervious to water, and it is suitable for Taiwan’s humid and high temperature. | en_US |
