  • Publication number: 20140027940
    Abstract: A form or a series of forms for forming the bridge diaphragm from concrete material includes one or more bottom walls having an inner surface thereof abutting a bottom surface of the diaphragm. There is at least a pair of side walls upstanding on the inner surface of the bottom wall or walls at a respective longitudinal edge thereof and has an inner surface thereof abutting a respective side surface of the diaphragm. The at least the pair of side walls define each of a generally open top and a generally hollow interior of the form. There is also means for securely attaching each end of the form or series of forms to one of a side surface of at least one of the pair of longitudinal members and an end of another form for forming the diaphragm from the concrete material. Bracing of upper edges is also provided.

  • Publication number: 20110113701
    Abstract: A unitary device for attaching at least one haunch carrier to a support beam of a bridge structure includes a first portion having a first substantially planar surface thereof abuttingly engageable with a top generally horizontal surface of the support beam and a second portion extending upwardly and generally perpendicular relative to the first portion and having a first end thereof disposed at a first end of the first portion. A third portion has a first end thereof disposed at an opposed second end of the second portion and has an opposed second end thereof disposed on an opposed second substantially planar surface of the first portion. The third portion is disposed at a first predetermined angle relative to the first portion and at a second predetermined angle relative to the second portion. An aperture is formed through a thickness of the second portion.
