| Description | As a result of complicated geometries, limited rights of way, and traffic mitigation, horizontally curved bridges are becoming the norm of highway interchanges and urban expressways. This type of superstructure has gained popularity since the early 1960s because it addresses the needs of transportation engineering. Figure 15.1 shows the 20th Street HOV in Denver, Colorado. The structure is composed of curved I-girders that are interconnected to each other by cross frames and are bolted to the bent cap. Cross frames are bolted to the bottom flange while the concrete deck is supported on a permanent metal form deck as shown in Figure 15.2. Figure 15.3 shows the elevation of the bridge and the connection of the plate girders into an integral bent cap. Figure 15.4 shows the U.S. Naval Academy Bridge in Annapolis, Maryland which is a twin steel box-girder bridge that is haunched at the interior support. Figure 15.5 shows Ramp Y at I-95 Davies Blvd. Interchange in Broward County, Florida. The structure is a single steel box girder with an integral bent cap. Figure 15.6 shows a photo of Route 92/101 Interchange in San Mateo, California. The structure is composed of several cast-in-place curved P/S box-girder bridges.
