The live loads shall be factored by 1+IM/100 = 1.33
6.1.2.2 Transverse Load Distribution
In designing sidewalks, slabs and supporting members, a wheel load should be located one foot from the face of the barrier
For the design of components other than the deck overhang, the design truck or tandem shall be positioned transversely such that the center of any wheel
load
is not closer than 600mm from the edge of the design lane. (Art 3.6.1.3.1 - AASHTO 2004 )

Chapter 5- 18 m span Girder Bridge Fundamentals of Bridge Structures
AAiT, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Page 25
Case-2: Two or more design lanes loaded
The distribution of live load per lane for shear in exterior girder is determined according to the formulas given in Table 13-8.
REX2 (shear) = (0.6+de/3000)*Rin shear = 0.692 per lane de= 0.900
This factor is for one wheel load, for axle load which is equivalent to two lines of wheels should be multiplied by 2 Ok
REX2 (shear) = (0.64+de/3800)*Rin shear = 1.384 P

Therefore, REX (shear) in exterior girder is maximum of the above two values, REX1 or REX2
REX (shear) = 1.384 P
Interior Girder:
Case-1: One Design lane loaded
The distribution of live load per lane for shear in interior girder is determined according to the formulas given in Table 13-7.

6.1.3 Seismic Force Effects
Chapter 5- 18 m span Girder Bridge Fundamentals of Bridge Structures
AAiT, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Page 42
Earthquake zones: EBCS Zone -4
Site Coefficient: Type I = 1.5
Acceleration coefficient(A): =
The horizontal seismic force is the product of the site coefficient, the acceleration coefficient and the permanent load
Computation of permanent loads:
Railing and posts =
131.81 kN
Sidewalks =
869.50 kN
Top Slab =
638.25 kN
Girders=
777.00 kN
Diaphrams=
135.00 kN
Asphalt =
303.86 kN
Sum Wp = 2855.43 kN
Horizontal earhquake force FH = site coeff.*A* Wp = 428.31
This force is transferred to the substructure through the bearings located at ends of the bridge
Earthquake force transferred to one support = 1/2*FH = 214.16
This force is applied horizontally to the bearings
Total Dead Load reaction at one support = 1427.71
Assume coef. of friction between bearing and concrete seat at abut, µ= 0.50
The frictional resistance force developed between the interface = µ*Dead load Rxn
= 713.86
So Earthquake effects are negligible!!

The load combination to be used for design is Strenght - I Limit state, Table 3-1.
The factored loads in the above tables are the design loads and the structure shall be
designed to carry the expected design loads as calculated above

b) Effective Compression Flange Width, beff, ( AASHTO Art. 4.6.2.6.1)
Exterior Girder
For exterior beams, the effective flange width may be taken as one-half the effective width of the
adjacent interior beam, plus the least of:
a. 1/8 effective span length =
2.31m L = 18.5 m
b.
6 times the average thickness of the slab, plus the
greater of half the web thickness or one-quarter of
the width of the top flange of the basic girder = 1.75m hf=200 mm
c. The width of the overhang = 1.00m Bw=400 mm
beff < 1/2*Effective width of interior girder + minimum value of

Overhand =1.0 m
Clear girder spac. =
1.8 m
Chapter 5- 18 m span Girder Bridge Fundamentals of Bridge Structures

Interior Girder
The effective compression flange width, beff, is the minimum of the following:
a. 1/4 span =
4.63 m
b.
12 times the average thickness of the slab, plus the greater of web thickness or one-half
of the width of the top flange of the girder = 2.80
c. The average spacing of the adjacent beam = 2.20
Effective compression flange width, beff = 2.20
Use compression flange width, beff =
2.10
c) Spacing Limits for Reinforcements ( AASHTO 2004 - Art. 5.10.3.1.1)
Horizontal
In cast-in-place concrete, the clear distance between parallel bars in a layer shall not be less than:
1.5 times bar diameter = 48 mm Assume d=32
1.5 times the
max. size of
coarse
aggregate
(i.e.25.4mm)
= = 38 mm
38mm
= 38 mm
Hence the minimum clear distance between parallel bars in
a layer with no lapping is =
48 mm =
Chapter 5- 18 m span Girder Bridge Fundamentals of Bridge Structures
AAiT, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Page 48
Assuming vertical lapping of bars, one over the other, The minimum clear distance between parallel bars in a layer
is = 48 mm
Therefore, the minimum center to center spacing of bars in a layer is = 80 mm
Use center to center spacing of bars in a layer =
80 mm
Therefore, the minimum center to center spacing of bars in a layer with overlap is = 112 mm
Use center to center spacing of bars in a layer =
120 mm
Vertical
Minimum clear distance between two layers of bars is 1 inch or dia of bar = 32 mm
Thus, minimum center to center spacing of bars when there is lap = 96 mm
Use vertical center to center spacing of bars b/n layers = 100 mm
ii. The minimum reinforcement criteria: - AASHTO 2004, Art. 5.7.3.3.2
rmin = 0.03*fc'/fy = 0.0018
r = As/bd = 0.0244 b= bw = 0.40
OK!
g) Serviceability Requirements
Fatigue stress limits ( ERA BDM Section 9.6.2 ) or (AASHTO LRFD Art. 5.5.3.2)
Fatigue stress limits will be checked for the service load conditions. The permissible stress range is given by Eq. 9.19.
ff = 145 - 0.33 fmin + 55 (r/h)
k = [rn+0.5(ts/d)
2
] / (rn+(ts/d) = 0.258
k*d =
0.339 m
T-beam
If it is rectangular beam
Chapter 5- 18 m span Girder Bridge Fundamentals of Bridge Structures
AAiT, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Page 53
The minimum stress, fmin , is : (the minimum stress is created when there is no vehicle moving on the bridge,i.e., due to the self weight only)
fmin = MDL/(As*j*d) =
101.39 N/mm2
The maximim stress, fmax, is caused by the total load ( MDL+LL+IM ) (the maximum stress is created when the
vehicle is moving on the bridge, i.e., due to the self weight + moving load)
fmax = (MDL+LL+IM) /(As*j*d) = 200.51 N/mm2
The actual stress range, delta ff, is:
Delta ff = fmax - fmin =
99.12 N/mm2
The fatigue stress limit, ff, is
ff = 145 - 0.33* fmin + 55 (r/h) =
128.04 N/mm2 >>
OK !!
Control of Cracking by Distribution of Reinforcement (Sec. 9.4.5)
To control flexural cracking of the concrete, tension reinforcement shall be well distributed within maximum flexural zones.
Components shall be so proportioned that the tensile stress in the steel reinforcement at service limit state, fs, does not exceed
fsa = Z / (dc*A)
1/3
< = 0.6*fy
Chapter 5- 18 m span Girder Bridge Fundamentals of Bridge Structures
AAiT, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Page 54
A = Effective tension area/ No. of bars=bw*(2y')/N= 0.00420, y’ = d’ = 0.084 m
dc = distance measured from extreme tension fiber to
center of the closest bar = 0.072; bw = 0.40
Z = crack width parameter, assumed = 30.00 ; No of bars = 16
Therefore, for crack control the maximum allowable stress is
fsa = Z / (dc*A)1/3 <=0.6fy = 240.00 fsa = 240 MPa
The maximim stress, fmax, at service load is
fmax = (MDL+MLL+IM) /(As*j*d) = 200.51
OK
h) Bar Cutting
Development of Reinforcement (ERA BDM Sec. 9.4.3)or AASHTO, Art. 5.11.1.2.2
Positive moment reinforcement: Atleast one-third of the positive moment reinforcement in simple span
members shall extend along the same face of the member beyond the centerline of the support.
The basic development length, ldb, in mm is
For bars diam. 35 and smaller, ldb = 0.02Ab*fy/sqrt(fc') >=0.06db*fy db=
ldb = 0.02Ab*fy/sqrt(fc') = 1313 mm fy= 400
fc'= 24.0
The tension development length,ld, is 0.06db*fy= 768.0
ld = ldb * modification factor = 1313 mm mod. Factor = 1.00
Chapter 5- 18 m span Girder Bridge Fundamentals of Bridge Structures
AAiT, Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering Page 55
Modification factor 2 taken to account for clear spacing between bars
Lap splices of Reinforcement in Tension
The length of lap for tension lap splices shall not be less than either 300mm or the 1.3 times the development
length
Lap splices for diam. 32 bar = 1,707 mm
Flexural Reinforcement Extension Length (Sec. 9.4.5)
Except at supports of simple spans and at the free ends of cantilevers, reinforcement shall be extended beyond the point at
which it is no longer required to resist flexure for a distance not less than:
a) the effective depth of the member = 1.32 m
b) 15 times the nominal diameter of bar = 0.48 m
c) 1/20 of the clear span = 0.90 m
Therefore, extension length is max. of the above
values and development length ld = 1.32 m
