Title : Design of RC Slab Bridge to AAASHTO LRFD
1. Bridge Data
1.1 General Information
-Vehicular live loading on the roadways of bridges or incidental structures,designated HL-93,shall consist of
combination of :
i. Design truck or design tandem,and
ii. Design lane load
i. Design Truck
Front axel: 35 kN
Middle axel: 145 kN
Rear axel: 145 KN
(Axel spacing between front and middle axel: 4.3 m
Axel spacing between middle axel: 4.3-9 m
Transverse wheel spacing: 1.8 m
Dynamic load allowance shall be considered
ii.Design Tandem
Axel load: 110 kN
Axel Spacing: 1.2 m
Transverse wheel spacing: 1.8 m
2.Typical Cross-section
For simple span bridge with main reinforcement parallel to traffic , the min.depth in feet is given as:
Dmin: 1.2*(S+3000)/30 Where:S= Span length
Dmin: 536.00 mm
Try D= 0.58 m
3.Statical Analysis Using Longditunal Strip Method
3.1 Equivalent Strip Widths [AASHTO LRFD Art.4.6.2.3]
3.1.1 Interior Strip width
a. One design lane
The equivalent width of longditunal strips per lane for both shear and moment with one lane loaded may be determined as:
E=250+0.42*Sqrt(L1*W1)
where:
E: Equivalent width(mm) 4295.278 mm
L1: modified span length taken equal to the lesser of the actual span 10400 mm
or 18000 (mm)
W1: modified edge-to-edge width of bridge taken to be equal to the lesser of the actual width
or 18000 for multilane loading,or 9000 for single lane loading (mm) 8920 mm
E= 4295.28 mm
E= 3255.79 mm
Use, E= 3255.79 mm
Live Loads per width of slab- interior strips (for design of interior strips of slab)
Truck P1: 44.54 kN/m
P2: 10.75 kN/m
Tandem P: 33.79 kN/m
The effective width of a strip,with or without an edge beam may be taken as the sum of the distance between the deck and
the inside face of the barrier,pluse 300 mm,pluse one quarter of the strip width specified in either AASHTO LRFD Article 4.6.2.1.3
,Article 4.6.2.3,or Article 4.6.2.10 as appropriate, but not exceeding either one-half the full strip width or 1800 mm.
Eedge= 1800.00 mm
Live Loads per width of slab-edge strips (for design of interior strips of slab)
Truck P1: 48.33 kN/m
P2: 19.44 kN/m
Tandem P: 36.67 kN/m
