Theories based on foot over bridge
Topics When to use truss girders..? Difference between Plate girder and Truss girders. Types of Truss girders Components of Truss girder. Loads on Truss girder Applications of Foot over Bridge
When to use..?? To carry main load When load is so large that can not be economically bridged using plate girders If span is comparatively large.
Difference Plate girder Continuous web Smaller spans up to 15-24 Elevation is not good. More cost Truss Bridge Not continuous –open web having vertical and inclined members. Spans upto 30 and more. Elevation is good. Less cost
Types of truss girders Through type Deck type Semi type/half through
Deck type Bridge
The carriageway rests on the top of the main load carrying members. In the deck type plate girder bridge, the roadway or railway is placed on the top flanges as shown and the cross girders are supported by the trusses generally at the panel points
Through type truss - The carriageway rests at the bottom level of the main load carrying members. In the through type plate girder bridge, the roadway or railway is placed at the level of bottom flanges. The bracing of the top flange or lateral support of the top chord under compression is also required.
Semi through type bridge The deck lies in between the top and the bottom of the main load carrying members. The bracing of the top flange or top chord under compression is not done and part of the load carrying system project above the floor level The lateral restraint in the system is obtained usually by the U-frame action of the verticals and cross beam acting together.
Components of Truss girder bridges
The weight of the truck (and bridge deck) is carried by the stringers into the floor beam and then the floor beam carries this load to the truss at the node point (joint). The bottom chord of the truss is not bent by the weight of the truck because the stringer is attached to the floor beam and not the truss chord.
Loads Applicable on truss girder
The following are the various loads to be considered for the purpose of computing stresses, wherever they are applicable. Dead load Live load Impact load Longitudinal force Thermal force Wind load Seismic load Racking force Forces due to curvature. Forces on parapets Frictional resistance of expansion bearings Erection forces
