Review/ Summarize Lesson

During this period of instruction, you were taught how to build a medium girder bridge with link reinforcement set. You were also taught how to maneuver the roller beams to the positions required to hold the bridge and the construction of the davits for jacking the bridge down. You are know familiar with two very important manuals for the construction of and the launching and delaunching of any bridge required to complete the mission. (The instructor can build on this review to motivate the students). Determine if students have learned the material presented by-a. Soliciting student questions and explanations. b. Ask questions and getting answers from the students. c. Correct students misunderstandings.

Terminal Learning Objective

Standard:

Method of instruction : Practical Exercise Instructor to student ratio is : 3:32 Time of instruction : 12.0 Media used : Medium girder bridge Safety Requirements Possible hazards include back injuries, smashed fingers, hands and feet, falling off the bridge or embankment and dangers of working around heavy lifting and loading equipment. Extra precaution must be taken when constructing the bridge in inclement weather. Safety will be monitored and reinforced thoughout construction of the bridge.

Risk Assessment Level

Medium

Environmental Considerations Degradation to the surrounding area. Evaluation Instructional Lead-in The student will accurately construct the medium girder bridge and score 70% or higher on the end of annex examination. The Instructor will include a lead-in for this practical exercise.

Resource Requirements Special Instruction

Medium Girder Bridge Erection Set / Medium Girder Bridge Set / Link Reinforcement Set / 100 Foot Tape Measuring / String, Nylon / Hammer, Sledge / Line Level / UShape Pickets, Short 32inch / Bridge Transporter. The class will participate in the assembly of the medium girder bridge for given bridge design. One student will be designated the bridge commander. He/she will designate squad leaders for each crew. The squad leaders will in turn organize their crew ensuring that the correct amount of personnel is in each group. Top panel crews, bottom panel crews and center crew. The bridge commander will direct each crew in the assembly of the bridge. The instructors will brief the safety procedures to all involved in the assembly. The students will be given all required equipment to accomplish this lesson. 1. Direct assembly of the end of bridge. (double story) 2. Direct assembly of the first bay of bridge. (double story) 3. Assemble bays two and three and add launching nose. 4. Assemble bays four, five, and add launching nose. 5. Assemble bay six and add one deck unit to bay one, position three. Add sway braces from bays one through six. Have students gather around the outside of the bridge and boom the bridge to 3p0. 6. Assemble bays seven though nine and place one deck in bay seven at position three. Add sway braces to bays seven through nine. Have center of bridge crew connect the push bar cross girder (PBCG) to the bottom panel on bay nine and connect push bar to truck and PBCG. 7. Assemble students at the rear of the bridge and explain the procedures for booming the bridge with a truck. Have students to stand clear and boom bridge to 4p7. Have center of bridge crew remove PBCG. 8. Assemble bays ten through twelve and add one deck to bay eleven position three. Add sway braces to bays ten through twelve. Connect push bar cross girder to bottom panels of bay twelve. Connect the push bar to the push bar cross girder and to the push bar adapter on the truck. Have students stand clear and boom bridge to 10p0. Have center of bridge crew remove PBCG. 9. Connect the anchor assembly (long) to the bottom panel pin on bay one. 10.Connect the push bar to the push bar cross girder and to the push bar adapter on the truck. Have students stand clear and boom bridge to 11p0. Have center of bridge crew remove PBCG. Connect the anchor assembly (short) to the bottom panel pin at panel point 2p0. 11.Disconnect push bar, PBCG and assemble bays thirteen and fourteen adding the sway braces. Add near shore end of bridge. 12.Connect the push bar to the bankseat beam and the 5-ton truck have truck driver launch bridge to 6p4 at the capsill roller beam until center of gravity. 13.Continue to add link reinforcement set and boom accordingly until bridge is resting on the far bank. 14.Jack down far shore and near shore end of bridge. 15.Place the roadway. 16.Disassemble medium girder bridge.
