UPGRADING OF STEEL JETTY EXPOSED TO ABNORMAL LOADS BY POST-INSTALLING LATERAL SUPPORT MEMBERS
In Iraq,demands for power plant components are economically justified because of the vast need to the electricity industry due to the huge damage that occurred in the Iraqi power network since the last war of 2003.Accordingly,there has been an increased requirement for hauling heavier machinery and industrial components on highways.The focus of this work is on strengthening steel jetty in Baghdad city,over Tigris River,which consists of 55 short spans,each of 4 meters and one navigational opening of 12 m.The bridge is 224 meters length and 8 meters in width.The strengthening system was designed to remove overstresses that occurred when the bridge was subjected to abnormal loads of 380 tons.A strengthening system was used where the main concept is to add lateral supporting elements which impose reversal forces on the bridge to counteract most of the loads expected from the abnormal heavy loads.
