Highways Structures
A structure intended to carry highway vehicles and/or bicycles and
pedestrians.
A covered walkway
A railway bridge
A culvert exceeding 2m in span and is designed as a closed conduit for
conveying storm water from one side of highways or railway track to
the other
A wall designed to support an approach to a highway structures or
railway bridge.
Design Standard
Highways Loading
Permanent Load
• Dead Load (DL)
• Superimposed Dead Load (SDL)
• Differential Settlement
• Creep and Shrinkage
Transient Load
• Primary Live Loads (HA, KEL, HB and Pedestrian load)
• Secondary Live Loads (Centrifugal, Longitudinal Braking or Traction,
Skidding Loads)
• Temperature change (Temp. Range and Differential Temp.)
• Wind Load
• Accidental Loads (Collision Load)
• Exception Loads (Seismic Load)
Dead Load
• Concrete
• Structural Steel etc.
