 Design of RC Slab Bridge (11m of Clear Span) 26.752 GPa (Modulus Elasticity of concrete)
1.Depth Determination 11500
According to AASHTO (Table 2.5.2.6.3-1), minimum recommended depth for slabs with main reinforcement parallel
to the traffic is:
D=1.2(S+3000)/30 where: S= Span= Cs+Wrs = 11.50 m (c/c spacing of the bridge)
D=1.2*(11500+3000)/30=580mm
580 580.0 mm 11500 kN/m2
Thus, Use D =580mm 0.58 m 13.66 11500 0
580
2. Equivalent Strip widths, AASHTO Article 4.6.2.3
a) Interior Strip shear and
i) One lane loaded: multiple presence factor included 8920
E=min (18,000 , 250+0.42(S*W)1/2) = 4503.835 mm (W=Rw+2Cw) 8920
where: W is the edge-to-edge width of the bridge

ii) Multiple lanes loaded 8920

Number of lanes loaded, NL= int (7.32/3.6)=2 3315.381 4460
E=2100+0.12Sqrt(S*W) =3315.381 mm <W/NL(8920/2=4460mm) mm <W/NL(8920/2=4460mm)
3315.38
Use E = 3315.381 mm
Shear and moment per meter width of strip is critical for multiple lanes loaded because (4503.835 mm >3315.381 mm)

Equivalent Concentrated and distributed loads

Truck P1'= 35kN/3315.381mm = 10.557kN/m kN/m 35 10.557
Truck P2'= 145kN/3315.381mm = 43.736kN/m kN/m 145 43.736
Tandem P3'= 110kN/3315.381mm = 33.179kN/m kN/m 110 33.179 6.6125 169.46
Lane W'= 9.3kN/m/3315.381mm = 2.805kN/m2 kN/m2 9.3 2.805
b) Edge Strip 800 2757.691 1800.000 1.80
Longitudinal edge strip width for a line of wheels
E=distance from edge to face of barrier +300+1/2 strip width < 1800mm
E =800+300 +(1/2*3315.381) = 2757.691 mm
E=min (2757.691,1800)= 1800 mm
3. Influence Lines for shear force and bending moment

4. Dead Load Force Effects
a) Interior Strip
Take 1m strip, unit wt. of concrete = 2400 kg/m3
d=529 mm (=580-32/2-35)
Wdc = 2400*9.81kN/m3/1000*0.58m = 13.656kN/m2 (dead load of the deck slab)
Wdw = 2250*9.81kN/m3/1000*0.1m = 2.207kN/m2 (dead load of the wearing surface)
b) Edge Strip
Dead Load Computations
Assume curb, and end barriers loadings spread over edge strip width (1800mm)

(0.25*0.75+0.5*0.25*0.05) *(2400*9.81) /1000 (wearing surface is

Curb = + 13.656 = 16.19 kN/m2
1.8 not included)

0.15*0.3 *(2400*9.81) /1000

Railings = = 0.589 kN/m2
1.8
Number of posts = Int. (clear span of bridge / post spacing)+1 = 10

(0.3*0.3*0.85) *10* (2400*9.81)/1000

Posts = = 0.87 kN/m2
1.8*11.5
Thus, the total edge load becomes, 16.19+2 = 18.19 kN/m2
