1. NAME OF SCHEME
1.1 Type of highway
Road number (TBC), 10.8 metre wide single carriageway crossing the Trent and Mersey
canal west of Burton, east of Tatenhill village.
1.2 Permitted traffic speed
30 mph (48 kph) – Proposed
1.3 Existing restrictions
None.
2. SITE DETAILS
2.1 Obstacle crossed
Trent and Mersey Canal
3. PROPOSED STRUCTURE
3.1 Description of Structure and working life
The proposed structure is to be a road bridge crossing the Trent and Mersey Canal,
providing access to a new development called Branston Locks.
The new bridge is to consist of a single span reinforced concrete deck supported on
reinforced concrete cap beam and sheet pile abutments. The widened carriageway cross
section will consist of a 10.8 metre wide single carriageway with a 3.5 metre wide
combined foot/cycle way to the south side and a 2.5 metre wide footway to the north side.
All services will be carried in the footways of the new structure.
The clear span of the bridge between abutment faces will be approximately 16.130
metres, with a 16.5 degree skew.
The wingwalls are to comprise of sheet piles and are to be structurally separate from the
abutment sheet piles. Following consultation and outline approval by the Canal and River
Trust, (CRT), the exposed faces of both the wingwalls and abutments are to be clad in
masonry to match as closely as possible the adjacent Branston Canal Bridge.
3.2 Structural Type
The single span integral bridge is to be cast onto reinforced concrete capping beams
supported by load bearing sheet piled abutments. The structure is to have a design
working life is to be 120 years (working life category 5).

_____________________________________________________________________________________
Superstructure – Composite concrete deck consisting of ‘TY11’ series precast beams and
cast insitu reinforced concrete forming a traditional filler beam deck. The spaces between
the ‘TY11’ beams will accommodate services prior to forming the filler beam deck.
Substructure – Cast insitu reinforced concrete cap beam and sheet pile foundations.
Approach retaining walls either side of bridge to be sheet pile walls clad in masonry and
sloped embankments.
3.3 Foundation Type
The sheet piles forming the abutments are to be designed to provide vertical support to
the bridge deck, and lateral resistance to earth pressure, thermal and longitudinal loads.
Allowance for corrosion of the sheet piles will be made with reference to standard
published wastage rates for steel in contact with soil.
Sheet piles will be toed into Mercia rock mass approximately 11.0m below existing bridge
Towpath level.
3.4 Span Arrangements
The clear straight span between abutment walls will be approximately 16.13 metres,
(16.830 metre skew span). Based on precast beam manufacturer’s guidance a minimum
length of 500mm should be included to accommodate the integral bridge bearings. Based
on a 950mm cap beam width it is intended to use a minimum bearing distance of 500mm
for each bearing.
Thus the bridge deck will have a single straight or square span of approximately 16.83
metres, skew angle of 16.5º, (difference of 16.5º normal to the foundations), and a skew
span of 17.5 metres.
3.5 Articulation Arrangements
Integral deck and abutment is to have no expansion joints or bearings. Global thermal,
braking and traction effects are to be resisted by the soil behind the abutment sheet piles,
which will be designed for increased K* lateral pressure in accordance with BA 42/96 –
Design of Integral Bridges. The transition between the approach embankment and the
bridge deck will be formed using a proprietary geogrid in two layers within the compacted
fill. The geotextile will be fixed to the back of the piles using a bodkin connection below
cap beam level. The geotextile transition will maintain the retained soil stability while the
structurally integral bridge superstructure/abutment is allowed to move via flexure of the
sheet piles.
3.6 Proposed classes / levels
3.6.1 Consequence class
Consequence class to be CC2 (Medium) in accordance with Table B1, BS EN 1990; 2002.
2 of 13

3.6.2 Reliability class
Reliability class to be RC2 : KFI = 1.0
3.6.3 Inspection level
Inspection level to be IL2 in accordance with Table B5, BS EN 1990 ; 2002
3.7 Road restraint system type
Parapets are to be a minimum of 1.1 metre high, (1.4 metre high for combined cyclist /
pedestrian footway), concrete normal containment N2, level B impact severity level.
The external exposed faces of the parapets are to be brick faced and the parapets will be
topped with reconstituted stone copings.
Road restraint barriers are also required on the approaches and departures to the bridge,
consisting of N2 containment and W2 working width. The N2 road restraint barrier
transition to parapets is to be confirmed.
As the road speed will be less than 50 mph in accordance with TD19/06 an in-house
assessment has been undertaken to verify the Vehicle Road Restraint System
requirements. The internal faces of the parapets are to be brick faced and the parapets
will also include stone copings.

a. Upgrade and Widening of Existing Branston Canal Bridge
Description Upgrade and widening of existing Branston Canal Bridge

Cost £1.8M August 2015 (Spons price database book with inflation factor)
Duration 30 weeks
Summary The upgrade and widening of this bridge and approaches would require
unacceptable disruption to highway and canal users due to long diversions
this option was rejected for social and political reasons.
b. New Steel Beam and Concrete Composite Deck Slab Bridge
Description New steel beam and concrete composite deck slab Bridge.
Cost £1.5M August 2015 (Spons price database book with inflation factor )
Duration 26 weeks
Summary Scheme rejected on practical construction issues by Canal River Trust
based on scheme archive information because of the need to support
formwork over the canal in order to cast insitu parapet plinths.
c. New All Steel Bridge.
Description New all steel beam Bridge using steel deck and parapets.
Duration 20 weeks
Summary Scheme rejected due to aesthetic issues as bridge would span over canal
conservation area and would not blend with existing environment.
d. New Filler Beam Deck with Reinforced Concrete Spread Foundations.
Description New Filler Beam Deck and RC Spread Foundations

Duration 34 weeks
Summary Scheme rejected due to high water table, 0.9m from existing ground level
which would require extensive temporary and drainage works. Also due to
soft layers of soil stratum at depth which will increase the risk of long term
settlement of this form of construction.

3.12 Proposed arrangements for execution
3.12.1 Traffic Management
Vehicular and pedestrian access along the new road and over the canal will not be
maintained during the construction of the bridge. The Construction Programme for the
works is to be discussed by the Main Contractor with the Canal and River Trust in order to
agree canal and towpath closures requirements to suit.
3.12.2 Service Diversions
No existing services are to be diverted, new services will be laid through bridge deck but
this has yet to be agreed.
3.12.3 Interface with existing structures
The canal embankments adjacent to the bridge will be sheet piled prior to construction of
the bridge proper subject to agreement with the Canal and River Trust. The new sheet
piled abutments and wingwalls will be set back approximately 4.0 metres from the existing
canal embankments to prevent any surcharge loading.

5. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
5.1 Methods of analysis proposed for superstructure, substructure and foundations.
Superstructure
The deck superstructure will be modelled as a two dimensional (2D) plane frame grillage
using computerised analysis software package STRAP. Applied loading will be
apportioned to the grillage members using the STRAP pre-processor software for bridge
decks. The STRAP Bridge Module will be utilised to analyse the deck in accordance with
the Eurocodes using the relevant Dynamic Load Models.
A torsionless grillage analysis will be used to model the bridge in both the pinned
supported and fixed end states to obtain the worstcase parameters, (flexure, shear and
deflection), for the design of the bridge deck as a conservative approach.
Substructure
Substructure and foundations will be analysed using propriety soil structure interaction
software Prosheet provided by Arcelor Mittal for preliminary design, which is similar to
software packages utilised by SCI 163 “Integral Steel Bridges – Design Guidance” to
establish boundary stiffness parameters. Detailed design will utilise simple elastic hand
calculations and computer spreadsheets, using output data from the fixed end
superstructure grillage in conjunction with all relevant loads determined for braking,
thermal movement and accidental load effects will be utilised to develop a design
envelope of load effects. Consideration will be given in the design of the effect of the
staged construction sequence.
As a detailed check on the above approach the structure will be modelled via STRAP as a
plane frame, ( goal post portal structure ), using suitable spring supports to simulate soil
stiffness parameters. This Winkler Spring Model approach is also valid in accordance with
SCI 163 “Integral Steel Bridges – Design Guidance”.
5.2 Description and diagram of idealised structure to be used for analysis.
See Appendix C, idealised structure diagrams for deck analysis and foundation design.
5.3 Assumptions intended for calculation of structural stiffness.
Gross element stiffness will be used and element properties will be based on uncracked
sections. The following properties will be used in the calculation of element stiffness :-
Esteel = 205 kN/mm² , Econc = 31 kN/mm² (concrete grade C40/50 short term).
For thermal deformation, settlement, shrinkage and effects of creep, a reduced stiffness
corresponding to the cracked section is to be used.

_____________________________________________________________________________________
5.4 Proposed earth pressure coefficients (ka, ko or kp) to be used in the design of earth
retaining elements.
Grade 6N granular backfilling material will be used in compliance with BS EN 14475 and
the Manual of Contract Documents for Highway Works, Series 600; φ’k and
γ’ to be determined by material testing in accordance with table 6/1 of Series 600.
Site specific geotechnical data has been developed, and a full geotechnical report
detailing all relevant data is included with this document.
K* will be calculated in accordance with BA 42/96 “Design of Integral Bridges” and

Euronorm NCCI RFCS-CT-2005-00042 Design of Integral Abutment Bridges with small
and medium spans.
Where site specific values for earth pressure coefficients cannot be obtained then the
material will be assumed to have a minimum internal angle of friction of 35 degrees and
the following values will be used, Ko=0.6, Ka=0.27 and Kp=3.0 based on tables from
Eurocode 7 and guidance from BA 42/96.
6. GEOTECHNICAL CONDITIONS
6.1 Acceptance of recommendations of section 8 of the geotechnical report to be used

in the design and reasons for any proposed changes
A detailed geotechnical report is attached to this document. The conceptual design has
been based on the geotechnical report issued see Appendix D.
6.2 Summary of design for highway structure in Geotechnical Design Report
To be confirmed but refer to Highway Structure Summary Information table in Appendix D

which is indicative of current geotechnical conditions.
6.3 Differential settlement to be allowed for in design of structure
Anticipated differential settlement to be designed for is to be 20mm, (expected to be

minimal), based on available geotechnical data and a series of 6 no. pile tests conducted
on the 25th January 2016.
All piles were tested until refusal with an equivalent 130 Tonne rated vibratory hammer at
depths between 10 – 11.5 metres below towpath level. On this basis each pile had an
ultimate tested capacity in excess of 1275 kN which will give an equivalent minimum
ultimate support to the bridge deck of 2125 kN/m.
