6、or use by contractors and construction engineers involved in bridge construction on Federal-aid highway projects. This document may also be of interest to falsework design engineers, and supplements information found in the Guide Design Specification for Bridge Temporary Works.(1)The content is cons
7、truction-oriented, focusing primarily on standards of material quality and means and methods. This handbook contains chapters on falsework, formwork, and temporary retaining structures. For more in-depth discussion on a particular topic, related literature and references are identified. Chapter Two.
8、 Falsework identifies material standards, the assessment and protection of foundations, construction-related topics, loading considerations, and inspection guidelines. Methods for in situ testing of foundations are identified. General guidelines regarding timber construction, proprietary shoring sys
9、tems, cable bracing, bridge deck falsework, and traffic openings are also discussed. Chapter Three. Formwork identifies and describes the various components and formwork types commonly used in bridge construction. Information on load considerations and design nomographs are provided. General guideli
10、nes relating to formwork construction and form maintenance are also discussed. Chapter Four. Temporary Retaining Structures focuses primarily on cofferdams and their application to bridge construction. As indicated by the chapter title, however, general topics relating to a wide range of temporary r
11、etaining structures are also addressed. Specific topics include classification of construction types, relative costs, sealing and buoyancy control, seepage control, and protection. The construction of timber sheet pile cofferdams, soldier pile and wood lagging cofferdams, and steel sheet pile coffer
12、dams is reviewed. Methods of internal bracing and soil and rock anchorage are also discussed. Section properties of standard dressed and rough lumber, bridge deck falsework design examples, recommended thicknesses for wood lagging, and steel sheet pile data are included as appendixes. Definitions an
13、d related publications are identified below. DEFINITIONS For the purpose of this manual, the following definitions apply. These definitions are not intended to be exclusive, but are generally consistent with the common usage of these terms. Falsework Temporary construction work used to support the p
14、ermanent structure until it becomes self-supporting. Falsework would include steel or timber beams, girders, columns piles and foundations, and any proprietary equipment, including modular shoring frames, post shores and adjustable horizontal shoring. Shoring A component of falsework such as horizon
15、tal, vertical, or inclined support members. For the purpose of this document, this term is used interchangeably with falsework. Formwork A temporary structure or mold used to retain the plastic or fluid concrete in its designated shape until it hardens. Formwork must have enough strength to resist t

FALSEWORK MATERIALS AND MANUFACTURED COMPONENTS Structural Steel Quality of Steel Steel grades greater than ASTM A 36/A 36M are generally not
23、 recommended for falsework construction unless certified or test samples are taken. The Guide Design Specification for Bridge Temporary Works permits the use of higher working stresses for other grades of steel, provided the grade of steel can be identified. Identification is the contractors respons

Duplication is a violation of applicable law.5 Interim2008 Imperfections on the top and bottom surfaces of plates may be removed by chipping, grinding, or arc-air gouging and then by depositing weld metal subject to the
37、 following limiting conditions: The chipped, ground, or gouged area shall not exceed 2 percent of the area of the surface being conditioned. After removal of any imperfections in preparation for welding, the thickness of the plate at any location must not be reduced by more than 30 percent of the no
38、minal thickness of the plate. (AASHTO M 160M/M 160 (ASTM A 6/A 6M) restricts the reduction in thickness to a 20 percent maximum.) The edges of plates may be conditioned by the manufacturer or processor to remove injurious imperfections by grinding, chipping, or arc-air gouging and welding. Prior to
39、welding, the depth of depression, measured from the plate edge inward, shall be limited to the thickness of the plate, with a maximum depth of 1 in (25.4 mm). Structural Shapes and Steel Sheet Piling Conditioning These products may be conditioned by the manufacturer for the removal of injurious impe
40、rfections or surface depressions by grinding, or chipping and grinding, provided the area ground is well faired without abrupt changes in contour and the depression does not extend below the rolled surface by more than: (1) 1/32 in (0.8 mm) for material less than 3/8 in (9.5 mm) in thickness; (2) 1/
41、16 in (1.6 mm) for material 3/8 to 2 in (9.5 to 50.8 mm) inclusive in thickness; or (3) 1/8 in (3.2 mm) for material over 2 in (50.8 mm) in thickness. Imperfections that are greater in depth than the limits previously listed may be removed and then weld metal deposited subject to the following limit
42、ing conditions: The total area of the chipped or ground surface of any piece prior to welding shall not exceed 2 percent of the total surface area of that piece. The reduction in thickness of material resulting from removal of imperfections prior to welding shall not exceed 30 percent of the nominal
43、 thickness at the location of the imperfection, nor shall the depth of depression prior to welding exceed 1 in (32 mm) in any case except as follows: The toes of angles, beams, channels, and zees and the stems and toes of tees may be conditioned by grinding, chipping, or arc-air gouging and welding.
44、 Prior to welding, the depth of depression, measured from the toe inward, shall be limited to the thickness of the material at the base of the depression, with a maximum depth limit of 2 percent of the total surface area. Welding Most of the ASTM-specification construction steels can be welded witho
45、ut special precautions or procedures. The weld electrode should have properties matching those of the base metal. When properties are comparable, the deposited weld metal is referred to as “matching” weld metal. See AWS D1.1/D1.1M(4)for requirements. Table 4 provides matching weld metal for many of
46、the common ASTM-designated structural steels. In general, welding of unidentified structural steel is not recommended unless weldability is determined. Most of the readily available structural steels are suitable for welding. Welding procedures can be based on specified steel chemistry because most
47、mill lots are usually below the maximum specified limits.
