Load Calculation For Substructure Design

This document describes the design of a bridge substructure. It includes a case study of a three-span continuous bridge with circular piers. Load calculations are shown for dead loads, live loads, seismic loads, and wind loads. Live loads include vehicular loads and rail loads. Load effects such as shear forces and bending moments are calculated at various pier locations based on the superstructure analysis.
