This criteria is not suitable for long span bridges e.g. Gateway Bridge. c) Appendix B must be completed specifically for each bridge, d) The Standard Drawing and Specification referenced in this document are the latest published version which may be an Interim Version on the Main Roads website www.mainroads.ald.gov.au €) For Design and Construct projects, the construction shall be in accordance with the document Bridge Construction. f) This section covers the criteria and requirements for the design of all structural aspects of the works including all Bridges: Submerged structures Overpasses and underpasses iv. Sign support structures Vv. Retaining walls and other associated structures vi. Noise walls Vii, Major components of drainage, and vil, Fauna crossings ‘These criteria relate to Main Roads bridges. Bridges involving other authorities may have different requirements. 7.64.2 Structural Design Objectives Structural design must conform to a high level of technical competence and must be based on proven methods, materials and technology. All structures shall be designed in accordance with good ‘engineering practice, relevant codes and incorporate safety in design principles. All structures must have an attractive appearance appropriate to their general surroundings and any adjacent structures. The design shall be practical to construct and be buildable. All bridges and other structures shall be: ‘+ Designed andlor supervised by a structural engineer who is an RPEQ + Allddesigns shall be design checked by an Engineer who is an RPEQ or supervised by an RPEQ. ‘The engineer who undertakes the check shall be different to the designer. 7.61.3 Conforming Product, Alternative Product and Innovation "Conforming" materials and products are all material and products detailed in Main Roads Standard Specifications, as amended by this design brief. Any other material or product is deemed to be "non- conforming” and can only be used on bridges with the written permission of Executive Director (Structures). Main Roads recognizes innovation in design, material and products. An innovative product must be ‘equivalent or exceed existing design, material or products in all aspects of performance and be robust. Robust is a difficult concept to define. One definition is that a structure should not collapse due to one structural component. Another version is that elements subject to deterioration faster than average should be easily replaceable (for example, expansion joints). When applied to the bridge as a whole, robustness requires that the elements that cannot be inspected, repaired or replaced (for example, piles) must be more durable than the rest of the bridge. Innovations in structural design should only be adopted after appropriate testing and validation. Innovation should be approved by Main Roads prior to adopting on a project. It is suggested innovation is best undertaken outside a Contract. Experience has shown that approval of innovative Page 30f 22 ‘Grd DesigntEnpnesrng\Srege__Design_ Consents RrifBrdge and othor stitute design docQUEENSLAND DEPARTMENT OF MAIN ROADS ~ STRUCTURES (2/08) design, material and products may take up to 3 years and involve extensive testing and development of specifications Main Roads standards are conscience decisions of the owner's structural engineers who are after a long service life and minimum whole of life cost. 762 Bridges 76.2.4 Design Life All bridgeworks and retaining walls must be designed and detailed to ensure a design life of 100 years. ‘Sub-elements with a design life less than that specifie * Rubbers in expansion joins ~ 40 years + Drainage systems ~ 50 years + Safety screens and fencing - 50 years The design life shall be interpreted that there is a 95 percent probability that during the design life the structure or element: Will not require major maintenance or replacement of elements; Will be fully functional; Wit require minimal maintenance; and . ‘Will blend and harmonise with the existing surrounds and planned landscaping. 76.22 Structural Design Objectives - Bridges All structures must present smooth, clean lines and bridges must have a minimum structural depth consistent with their spans and method of construction, All superstructure elements must follow design vertical and horizontal profiles.
