BR1219 MNL DISPLACEMENTS

Girder length, Lg = 14 m
Deck gross-sectional area,Ag = 3012500 mm²
Exposed perimeter, ue = 17650 mm

A) Due to Uniform Temperature

Temperature effect (Ref: NZTA Bridge ManualArt. 3.4.6)

a. Overall temperature changes

-for concrete structures
Mean temp. , Trange (+)= 20 deg C
Trange (-)= -20 deg C

Coefficient of thermal expansion, α (Ref. AS 5100.5-2004 Art 6.1.6)

α = 1.10E-05 /deg C

Displacement
ΔTU = α x Trange (+) x Lg
= 3.08 mm (+)

B) Due to Creep and Shrinkage

1. Shrinkage (Ref. AS 5100.5-2004 Art 6.1.7)

Relative humidity, RH = 70.00 %

Hypothetical thickness, th = 2Ag/ue
= 341.4
Shrinkage strain coef., k1 (for 30 yrs)= 0.40 (approx.)
 Basic shrinkage strain, εcs.b
εcs.b = 8.50E-04
Shrinkage strain, εcs
εcs = k1 εcs.b
= 0.000340

Displacement
Δsh = εcs x Lg
= 4.76 mm

C) Due to Seismic Load

Abut pile longitudinal stifness

kal = 9.61E+03 kN/m
Seismic shear force at Abutment
Vpal2 = 430.753 kN

Displacement (at Abutment)

ΔEQ.a = 44.82 mm

Pier longitudinal stifness

kpl = 5.94E+03 kN/m
Seismic shear force at Pier
Vppl = 775.03 kN

Displacement (at Abutment)

ΔEQ.p = 130.59 mm

D) Support Overlap, A (NZTA Bridge Manual Table 5.5)

1. At Abutment
Ea = 50.60542 mm
Aa = max(2Ea + 100,400)
= 400 mm

2. At Pier
Ep = 136.373 mm
Ap = max(2Ep + 100,400)
= 400 mm

E) Bearing Overlap, B (NZTA Bridge Manual Table 5.5)

1. At Abutment
Ba = 1.25Ea
= 63.25677 mm

2. At Pier
Bp = 1.25Ep
= 170.4663 mm
