Your challengesCreate a functional and stunning civic icon

Bridges often become sources of community pride and landmarks capable of symbolizing the cities and regions in which they are located. For centuries, bridges in places from San Franscisco to Millau have been providing us with icons that are inextricable from the character and identity of their locales. The bridges that have achieved such noble status are those that reflect local history, complement the environment, and offer aesthetically striking design.

At the same time, bridges are only as successful as their resilience and reliability. They must blend aesthetics with safety, durability and ease of access. They must undergo careful maintenance and/or retrofitting to increase capacity and improve safety and mobility for the community. They must be designed and constructed for effective planning, management, optimization and control.

Mitigate construction risks

Large bridges push construction methods and materials to their limits. Civil engineers know that these structures pose the greatest risks and carry the heaviest loads during construction. For this reason, contractors who undertake such operations rely on highly skilled professionals, from concept through details, from risk assessment to maintenance. At all stages, they need creative engineers who are open to dialogue, able to consider or propose safe and efficient construction methods, and deliver within budget and on time.

Provide long-term viability

Large bridge construction and operations are often awarded to concession companies that assume owner responsibilities, as well as contractor risks. Their needs and expectations are therefore a combination of the needs and expectations of owners and contractors, with a strong emphasis on long-term viability.

Our solutionsAt ARCADIS, our leading bridge experts, engineers and technicians share a single vision that bridge design, more than any other type of civil work, requires the complete collaboration of structural engineering and architectural design at all stages of the process. We strongly believe that solid structural, aesthetic and functional design does not necessarily mean high costs and uncontrolled budgets. Rather, we are certain that superior and optimized structural design naturally leads to striking projects. Taking into account environment, aesthetics, economy, durability and sustainability, we advocate a holistic process, one that results in stunning and functional landmarks that stand the test of time.Our bridge specialists have devoted their careers to staying abreast of construction methods and materials; to working closely with architects, international consultants and top-notch contractors; and to delivering world-class projects, such as the Normandy Bridge, Vasco da Gama Crossing and Millau Viaduct. United by vision and passion, our professionals represent a range of disciplines, including environment, transportation, geotechnical engineering, construction economics and architecture.

Research programs ARCADIS participates in two research programs related to the bridge and structural engineering fields.Orthoplus research program with two main purposes: 1 Analyzing the fatigue behavior of orthotropic slabs under cyclic loading and

verifying the influence of the overlay (no overlay, bituminous overlay).2 Developing a new concept where the overlay is made of UHPFRC (ultra high

performance fiber reinforced concrete) connected to the upper plate of the orthotropic slab.

CEOS research program oriented towards the improvement of our knowledge of large concrete elements cracking generated by shrinkage and thermal variations. The main output expected is a potential reduction of passive reinforcement, which appears presently to be excessive when Eurocodes rules are applied.

Bridge over the Van Starkenborgh CanalGroningen, Netherlands

ImagineA new double-track railway bridge of approximately 150-metres long over the Van Starkenborgh Canal. The addition of a second railway track on the Groningen Noord – Sauwerd route was the inspiration for the new bridge. Part of the project involved the replacement of a single-track steel truss bridge with a new double-track railway bridge. At the same time, the clearance height and width below the deck also had to be increased.

The resultThe new railway bridge was designed as a steel arch bridge. As a result of the crossing angle, the arches are staggered slightly by a distance of 12.75-metres, which is equivalent to the hanger distance. The bridge deck sits at mid-height, and the bridge has an 89-metres central span and two unequal end spans of 28 and 36-metres. The ends of the arches are below the deck, as a result the primary horizontal loads are partially removed from the arch by an internal longitudinal tie placed at the same height as the bridge deck. At the point where it connects to the central pillars, the arch is supported by auxiliary trusses. The trusses are set at an angle of 45º and are joined to the main pillars creating a sturdy triangle.

All-Purpose Trail over Warner Road and Granger Road, Cleveland OhioUnited States

ImagineAs part of their ongoing initiative to construct an urban pedestrian/bicycle trail to link downtown Cleveland with the Cuyahoga Valley National park, Cleveland Metroparks challenged ARCADIS to develop a structural design that reflects the Metroparks’ commitment to creating a presence for the area. The ARCADIS design team responded with a cable-stayed bridge concept that allows for longer spans and fewer supporting piers, giving the two bridges the desired look of openness and allow an unobstructed view for the adjacent business community.

The resultThe two bridges, almost identical in size, are more than 213-metres-long. The cable stayed portions of the bridges are three-span structures with main spans of 66-metres and overall lengths of 132-metres. The 5-metres-wide superstructure consists of thru-pratt trusses fabricated from welded steel tubular members with steel floor beams and a concrete deck. The 21-metres-high H-shaped towers are constructed of steel tubular members. The towers are supported on concrete pedestal foundations with auger cast-in-place piles.

Large prestressed concrete bridges ARCADIS has designed numerous prestressed concrete box girder bridges, using a balanced cantilever method, either with precast or cast in-situ segments. Our engineers are well versed in the design and construction of these types of structures, particularly in the use of external post tensioning systems like those used during the construction of the “Trois Bassins” bridge on La Réunion Island. Our involvement with conceptual and detailed designs, as well as our technical leadership during construction, gives us a thorough knowledge of techniques and a real capacity to understand and consider each aspect of the project throughout its development. To illustrate our engineers creativity, Vecchio Bridge in Corsica is lightened with triangular openings cut into the box beam webs resulting in a unique, efficient and appealing project.

Steel Bridges

Cast iron at the end of the 19th century, and iron and steel in the 20th century, the industrial revolution tremendously altered bridge design and engineering, under the leadership of engineers like Thomas Telford and Isambard Brunel in England, or Gustave Eiffel in France. During the second half of the 20th century, steel has seen a resurgence, with increased strength and quality, better protection against corrosion and improved welding methods. As a designer, ARCADIS has been instrumental in these new developments and has promoted architectural and technical innovation in this field with such projects as the bridge over the Wilhelmina canal in Tilburg (the Netherlands), Cernavoda bridge (Romania) and the Gustave Flaubert lift bridge in Rouen (France).

Cable-supported bridges

The development of cable-stayed bridges began in Germany in the 1950s and 1960s and reached France in the 1970s with the opening of the Brotonne Bridge (1977). Many more followed. And ARCADIS’ expertise was there in the Calatrava bridge in The Netherlands, Mezcala Bridge in Mexico, Vasco da Gama Bridge in Portugal and, last but not least, the Millau Viaduct in France. ARCADIS engineers are at the forefront of innovation, whether its designing the first multiple cable-stayed spans in Mexico; slender decks of steel and concrete composite construction in Portugal using cantilever construction or the launching method and concrete or steel pylons to maximize efficiency. Our extensive expertise ensures our careful consideration and evaluation of all possible alternatives before selecting the most appropriate one.

Maintenance and restoration

As traffic volumes, especially truck volumes, increase, owners and managers are faced with unexpected situations and cost. ARCADIS extensive expertise in bridges positions us well to help owners and managers handle these new challenges. For example: preparing maintenance plans, including organization and technical procedures; performing diagnostics; or proposing restoration or repairs based on state-of-the-art technology, like fiber reinforced polymer (FRP)reinforcements.


15

Arch bridges

Arch bridges are timeless, epitomizing the ideal bridge. Although their features varied very little from the Roman Empire to the 18th century, there are several modern radial or crossed hangers, or struts. The arches can be vertical or inclined inward or outward. All these developments are reflected in the designs of ARCADIS engineers, like the Cernavoda tied-arch bridge in Romania with crossed hangers or the Gennevilliers rail bridge with radial hangers.

Bridges and overpasses over A2 motorwayRomania

ImagineA2 motorway, part of the 4th European large corridor, provides the best connection to the Black Sea coast. ARCADIS Eurometudes was involved in designing the 43-kilometres-long section Drajna-Fetesti and the rehabilitation of a 20 kilometres section of Fetesti-Cernavoda.

The resultThe bridges have various statical scheme, according to the length of the obstacle and the requirements of the red line. The bridges were made of prestressed concrete and steel, which are traditional materials in the field of bridge construction. Concerning the cross sections of the deck, the project includes beams, continuous slab and ribbed slabs.

To improve the safety of the traffic and also the structures, all the overpasses were conceived without the pier in the middle of the motorway.The bridges fully comply with the requirements of the client, trying by their aesthetic aspect to drive away the monotony of a motorway line.

The design processAt ARCADIS we design bridges in multidisciplinary teams made up of engineers, architects, landscape architects and town planners. Our design expertise is based on the creation of designs based on the existing context, and meeting the demands of tomorrow.

In its designs, ARCADIS takes responsibility for a sustainable living environment and spatial quality both today and more importantly, also for the future. We therefore consider each issue, from vision through management, as a special assignment that calls for a tailor-made approach to the design process. This method is translated into a design geared to the specific situation. We provide for continuity in our processes by ensuring a seamless transition between design phase and preparation phase. ARCADIS has now accrued more than 40 years of experience working together across boundaries and disciplines with proven successful collaboration between engineers and designers. The result of close collaboration between specialists from different disciplines is the creation of an integrated design. Design teams are assembled on a broad basis to make the most of every challenge. ARCADIS designers are forever in search of innovative and sustainable solutions for the world of tomorrow.

This complex design process is represented on this page, from project start through to the opening of the bridge. By making use of 3D models, the design can be visualised and assessed in every phase. The pedestrian/cycle bridge featured on this page is located in Dilsen-Stokkem, Belgium. The design is the result of collaboration between ARCADIS architects in the Netherlands and engineers from Belgium and the Netherlands.
