MISCELLANEOUS APPLICATIONS

Doody St Bridge 

           SPECIALTY SKEWED VEE SLAB PANELS FOR ROAD BRIDGE AT DOODY ST ALEXANDRIA FOR HANNANPRINT. NOTE FILLED VOIDS TO ENHANCE SHEAR CAPACITY DURING CONSTRUCTION AND VOIDS REMOVED TO ENHANCE SHEAR FOR SERVICE LOADING, SHEAR CONNECTING REINFORCEMENT EXTENDING IN TO TOPPING SLAB TO ENHANCE SHEAR FATIGUE PERFORMANCE UNDER MOVING WHEEL LOADS.

THIS IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE ADAPTABILITY OF THE VEE SLAB SYSTEM.

VEE SLABS FOR THIS PROJECT WERE SPECIFIED BY THE PROJECT ENGINEERS , HENRY AND HYMAS.

CONSULTING ENGINEER: JOHN CAVASINNI AND ASSCOCIATES

THIS PROJECT INVOLVED THE CONSTRUCTION OF A ROOF OVER A ON SITE DETENTION TANK 39 METRES LONG AND 21 METRES WIDE.

THE ROOF NEEDED TO SUSTAIN ONE METRE OF SOIL FILL PLUS 15 KPa OF LIVE LOAD.

600MM SQUARE BLOCK PIERS WERE SPACED ON A 2.4M BY 7.0 M GRID WITH VEE SLABS BEING SUPPORTED ON THEIR CORNERS.

250mm DEEP VEE SLABS WITH 100mm OF TOPPING WERE USED.

VEE SLABS LAID WITH 100mm OF GAP BETWEEN THE ENDS OF PANELS  AND MADE CONTINUOUS FOR LIVE LOAD IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.
