Abstract:

A new structure was designed to be fully joint-less to eliminate typical deck joints which are costly to maintain and are a main cause of superstructure and substructure deterioration. At a length of approximately 800 feet, this 4-span continuous steel girder bridge will be the longest fully joint-less structure owned by the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) when completed. Finite element modeling was used to determine the full range of thermal movements of the structure taking into account thermal gradients. Specific details were developed to accommodate these movements. The details included use of an asphalt pressure relief joint, sleeper slab and grade beams.
