| Abstract | A procedure is developed for the comparative studies of prestressed
and conventional reinforced concrete highway bridges in Thailand. The
studies are concerned with the economic comparison. The first cost or
cost of initial construction and quantities of materials are required
for this purpose. Complete highway bridge drawings are needed to estimate the quantities of materials and cost. These were furnished by the
Royal Thai Highway Department and the Concrete Products and Aggregate
Company. The studies deal mainly with the superstructures of highway
bridges in Thailand. Tables and diagrams are developed for the different material and labor costs in various parts of Thailand. The use of
these tables and diagrams are demonstrated by typical examples. The
diagrams can be applied for other kinds of construction. Recommendations
are given for the economic types of prestressed or reinforced concrete
highway bridge to be used for various spans. |
