Sheet Pile Bridge Abutments: Faster, Economic and Viable Solution for Urban Transportation Needs
Abstract Although the concept of sheet pile bridge abutments is not new, they do not enjoy as much widespread usage as reinforced concrete bridge abutments. This paper provides a design case-history involving replacement of two existing road bridges with proposed new bridges supported by a combination of steel sheet piles and concrete bearing piles as abutments. The steel sheet piles have been designed to provide lateral earth support while concrete piles, vertical deck loads. Sheet piles of different types: anchored, tied-back and cantilever, have also been proposed for wingwalls. The arrangement for abutments was selected to minimize traffic interruption over existing road bridge, to enable faster construction in a restricted space environment and reduce ‘possession’ of railway track, and to provide an economic and durable solution. The two road bridges are a part of preparatory works for electrification program of Denmark state railway network between Aarhus and Lindholm.
