The document discusses a collapsed bridge in the Vaal area of South Africa that occurred in 2016 after heavy rains. Since then, local residents have struggled to access the city without the bridge. Speculation around the cause of the collapse points to either the heavy rains or poor maintenance by the local municipality. The construction company has now applied for a tender to rebuild the bridge, as the previous bridge provided important access to the city center.
Design brief
The local municipality has advertised a tender to rebuild a collapsed bridge in the Vaal area. The old bridge collapsed in 2016 due to poor maintenance, cutting off access for residents to the city during rainy seasons when the river swells. As part of the design brief, the construction company must formulate a solution in collaboration with the client that is realistic, complies with the tender notice, provides a long-term solution, and is time appropriate.

Fort Hunt Road Emergency Gravity Sewer Project
The Fort Hunt Road Service Road sewer services 21 homes and was constructed as an 8-inch diameter clay pipe. The Wastewater Collection Division inspected the pipe and identified a break that appeared to have been caused by a utility cross bore from a utility pole which was visible on the pipe inspection video. The Wastewater Design and Construction Division kicked off an expedited design and construction project to address this damaged sewer pipe. The project included the installation of roughly 350-feet of 8-inch diameter gravity sewer, 4 new manholes, 2 sewer reconnections, and abandonment-in-place of roughly 350-feet of old 8-inch diameter clay pipe. This project was substantially complete on June 4, 2021.
0011_Bridge_Refurbishment_Javad_Akhtar
The document discusses approaches to bridge refurbishment projects. It outlines the challenges in identifying problems, agreeing on solutions, and implementing repairs. Examples are provided of construction defects, issues arising over time from changes in use or hazards, and solutions implemented including strengthening elements and protecting against deterioration. The process of investigating causes, devising and convincing others of solutions, monitoring implementation, and tracking the structure long-term is described.
Bridges2
The document discusses three main types of bridges:
1) Beam bridges are the most common and cheapest to build, but are only effective over short distances. They are weak over long spans.
2) Cantilever bridges use anchored beams on each side to support the roadway, allowing longer spans than simple beam bridges. However, they are more complex and expensive to construct.
3) Cable-stayed bridges are a type of suspension bridge that uses cables for support, making them stronger and more aesthetically pleasing than beam bridges, but requiring more maintenance.
Case study on floating foundation
Floating foundations are used when soil is too soft to support conventional foundations. A floating foundation has a volume such that its weight equals the weight of the structure above it, so the soil below bears the same weight as before excavation. Floating foundations were developed in the 19th century for tall buildings in Chicago's wet soil. They work by obeying Archimedes' principle, buoyed up like boats. Examples include raft foundations and pile foundations supported only by skin friction in soft soil.
Quebec disaster
The Quebec Bridge project began in 1887 to span the St. Lawrence River and connect Montreal with the railroad network. Theodore Cooper was selected as the head engineer and modified the design to increase the span length. During construction, Cooper had limited oversight which allowed specifications to be exceeded. On August 29, 1907 the partially completed bridge collapsed, killing 86 workers. An investigation found issues with the estimated self-weight, temporary connections, and load calculations. The bridge was later rebuilt and opened in 1919, becoming the world's longest cantilever bridge. Lessons learned included developing design standards in Canada and ensuring responsibility is not left to one person.
Bridgething1
The document discusses different types of bridges throughout history. It begins by explaining how arch bridges, one of the oldest designs, use curved structures for support and were originally built from stone. Beam bridges are also very common as they are inexpensive and strong over short distances, though not as aesthetically pleasing. Cantilever bridges extend beams out over the water and can support more weight than beam bridges. Cable-stayed bridges are similar to suspension bridges but are cheaper to construct and are aesthetically pleasing and modern designs.
Developing the chosen idea
The local municipality is seeking proposals to build a new bridge in the Vaal area. The existing bridge collapsed in 2016 due to poor maintenance, leaving residents without safe access to the city. Since the collapse, residents have struggled to access the city center during the rainy season when the river swells. As a construction company that was awarded the tender, you will need to propose a bridge design that addresses the community's needs and solves the issues caused by the collapsed bridge. Your proposal should explain the type of bridge, materials, and how the design resolves the access problems.
Problem statement
The bridge that provided access to the city center collapsed in 2016 after heavy rains in the Vaal area. Local residents have since struggled to safely access the city. Some believe poor maintenance by the local municipality caused the bridge to fall, while others cite the heavy rains. The construction company has applied for the tender to rebuild the bridge, as the current lack of infrastructure has negatively impacted the community.
