Bridge Design for Engineers

This bridge project involves the design of 10 parallel girders to support a 30m bridge span carrying HS20 truck loading. Key details include a 15m clear width, 0.2m thick concrete slab, and A992M steel for the girders with Fy=345MPa. The summary calculates key design values like the maximum factored moment of 4195kN-m/m, chooses a W1000x371 girder section to resist this loading, and verifies the section satisfies strength and serviceability limits.

Bridge Engineering Project

Information given:

Bridge Span L = 30m


Clear Width = 15m
Live Load = HS20/4.27m
Sc/c =1.85m
Wcu = 24KN/m3
Wws = 23KN/m3
Fy = 420Mpa
Fc = 35Mpa
Wearing surface thickness = 0.07m
Steel type used for (W) structural shape A992M: Fy = 345Mpa, Fu =
448Mpa
The bridge will consist of 10 parallel girders as shown.
Design to be based on 2x106 cycles of loading.

Design Procedure
Slab thickness:

min h =

0.165m

where S= Sc/c= 1.85

= 0.163 < 0.165 use h =0.2m


Assume girder weight and diaphragms = 1155N/m
WDC = 0.2*24 = 4.8KN/m2
WDC = 4.8*1.85 + 1.155 = 10KN/m
WDW =0.07*23 = 1.61KN/m2
WDW = 1.61*1.85 = 3KN/m

Mmax + 78.3 * 4.27 93.6 * 15.49 = 0
MLL = Mmax = 1116KN.m/m
A reduction of 0.75 because of 4 lanes

Mut = 1.25 * 1125 + 1.5 * 337.5 + 1.75(1116 + 187.5 ) = 4195KN.m/m
W- section is compact because of shear connectors so Lb < Lp
Mn = Mp = Fy * Zx , b = 0.9
Vu = 0.6 * Fy * Aw

Vu = 0.9(0.6*Fy*Aw)

Zx =

4195 x 10

Choose W1000x371 with Zx = 18400 mm3 , Ix = 8160x106 mm4

Checking section for shear

19.6 * 21.46 + 78.3 * 25.73 + 71.17 * 30 RL * 30 = 0

Vut = 1.25 * 150 + 1.5 * 45 + 1.75 (152.35 + 34.13 ) = 581.34

Vut 0.9(0.6*Fy*Aw) = 0.9(0.6*345*19.1*1000) = 3558 KN
Where Aw = tw*d
Vut 3558 KN so section is satisfactory to resist shear force

Check Serviceability

Overall depth of composite section = 0.04*L = 0.04*30 =1200mm satisfactory
