A unique collaborative approach was utilised for the renewal of this important component of the bridge. It was a combination of input from the engineer, contractor, material specialist, manufacture and the owner that enabled a process of renewal which was innovative, constructible, utilised new materials and maintainable. An important consideration was to establish the causes for the observed early deterioration of components. A small scale model of the joint in particular was constructed out of wood and based on the 3-D FEM analyses that were carried out on the bridge, for failure mode analysis. Solutions were developed in a joint effort of all parties involved, leading to a novel approach for the restoration of the existing structural component. The installation was time sensitive and took place without any interruption of traffic |
