Pedestrian Bridges

1) The document describes the design of temporary pedestrian bridges over trenches at Princess Noura Bint Abdulrahman University for Women in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. 2) The bridges will use steel beams supported by wood boards to transfer loads to secondary steel members running perpendicularly between the main beams. 3) Load and stress calculations are presented to check the capacity of the secondary and main steel members, as well as their connection details.

This SCR is raised id order to get official approval for design of temporary pedestrian bridges
which will be loacted over the trenches.
The system is adoptes as two single supported beams connected with secondary members
perpendiculary.
The load will transfered thru wood boards to secondary members, over the main members to
supports.
The loads consider for this tructure are:
1. Dead load including self weight, the wood boards weight and the weights from fence.
2 Live load of 5kN/m2 which is required as per CD-8.00.BR.00.001

1. INPUT DATA
Clear span over the trench…………………………………………………L= 4 m
Material for the steel members as per ASTM A36……………………Py= 245 N/mm2
Adopted bolts are grade 4.6 with following mechanical properties:
>Shear capacity……………………………………………………..…….ps= 160 N/mm2
>Bearing capacity…………………..……………………………………pbb= 460 N/mm2
>The strength of weld (electrode classification number) is 60% of Py…= 147 N/mm2
>Bearing capacity of connected parts……………………………….pbbcp= 460 N/mm2

2. THE CONCEPT

Due to live load
bending moment : M=(3.75 * 1^2)/8=………………………………………. 0.46875 kNm
Reaction in supports: R=3.75*1/2=………………………………………….. 1.875 kN

safety factors for dead load is…. 1.4 , and for live load is…… 1.6
Maximum bending moment, Mmax=………………………………………… 0.78544 kNm
Maximum reaction (shear force) Psmax=………………………………….. 3.14175 kN

Shear capacity of the section:


Pscap=0.6*As*Py=……119.511 kN, which is > Psamax=… 3.1 kN…………….. safe
Bending capacity of the section:

Since all checks are safe adopted meber can be used

4. THE CHECK OF MAIN MEMBER

Adopted section IPE 160x82x5.3


Clear span between supports…………………………………………………. 4 m
Action on this member as follows:
Due to dead load:

The length of fence on one point.. 2.5 meter, self weight……… 0.225 kN
Due to live load:
from secondary member………………………………………………………. 1.875 kN
