Subjects: | Reconstruction | Issue Date: | 2014 | Part of: | The 8th International Conference on Engineering and Technology Research | Start page: | 1 | End page: | 8 | Conference: | International Conference on Engineering and Technology Research (8th : 24-25 April 2014 : Dubai, Emirates) | Abstract: | Nahr Al Fidar Bridge in Lebanon was built in 1972. Like all other bridges, the structure became deficient to carry nowadays increased truck loadings especially in a country where enforcement of law on overloads is not stringent. The bridge was already suffering and needed strengthening, hostilities could have been an opportunity and not a disaster for replacing the whole structure. This paper examines the structural bridge conditions as – built in 1972 and assesses its load carrying capacity and remaining durability as if it still exists. Solutions for retrofitting / building a new structure are finally proposed. |
