Since 1996, the extent of integral bridge construction has

grown significantly and preferred forms of construction and

construction details have developed.  This Technical Report

presents an overview of the forms that have been most

commonly chosen for bridges with composite decks and

discusses the details and the reasons for their adoption.

It presents a brief summary of current practice, based

on the experience of designers and constructors activelyinvolved in the construction of integral steel bridges.  The

report identifies the three principal configurations that are

most commonly chosen and presents data about the numbers

and types of steel highway bridge that have been built in the

period since 2000.  For each of the three configurations, the

form of construction of the end supports are described and

illustrated, and the particular design and construction issues

are discussed.

The effect of skew on the design of the end supports is also

discussed, the junction with the road pavement is mentioned

and the choices for intermediate supports are presented.PRICES:  Non-member £20

Liquid Metal Assisted Cracking (LMAC) can occur when steel

components come in to contact with molten zinc. This form of

cracking is uncommon but if it is not detected and repaired it

can have extremely serious consequences on the perform-ance of the structure. It is generally agreed that there are

three main prerequisites for LMAC to occur. These are:

•  Stress level

•   Material Susceptibility

•  Liquid Metal

Although the relative importance and the inter-relationship

between these issues in increasing the risk of LMAC are

largely unknown there is strong evidence to suggest that care-

ful consideration of these issues with respect to the following

activities can reduce the risk of LMAC:

• Design and detailing

• Type and quality of steel

• Quality of fabrication

• The Galvanizing process

This publication provides practical guidance to clients,

specifiers and engineers on each of these topics to identify

circumstances where any increased risk of LMAC can be

ameliorated.

A post galvanized inspection regime is also suggested as a

pragmatic approach to reducing the potential consequencesof LMAC. It is recommended that the Engineer should specify

100% visual inspection after galvanizing for all structural steel-

work that is to be utilised in building construction. In the event

some LMAC cracks are found non-destructive testing (NDT)

using Magnetic Particle Inspection (MPI) is recommended to

determine the extent of cracking. Finally a welding repair pro-

cedure is described for repairing most cracks in a galvanized

component. This involves removing the zinc from around the

area to be welded, repairing the crack and restoring the pro-

tective coating with a zinc rich paint or similar system.

By following the guidance given in this publication and by

committing a modest amount of attention to detail at each

stage of the construction process the chances of LMAC oc-

curring can be substantially reduced.
