SPECIFICATIONS FOR HIGHWAY BRIDGES PART HI CONCRETE BRIDGES ‘MARCH 2012 JAPAN ROAD ASSOCIATION Preface ‘The First Five-year Road Improvement Program started in 1954. This marked the beginning of fledged road construction and improvement in Japan, Since then, 12 five-year plans for road construction have been catied ou. Since 2003, the program for read construction and Jmprovement has been part of the Priority Plan for Social Infrastructure Development, At present, the Second Priority Plan for Social Infastrucure Development is being pushed Toward, AC the same time, road networks have been actively constructed and improved in response tothe rapid growth of road traffic. Still, there is strong demand forthe construction and improvement of road networks in both urban and rural aeas ‘On Match LL, 2011 the Great East Japan Earthquake strck Japan. This event made ws realize anew that in Japan, where various disasters occur, it is essential fo construct a seeure Ihomeland. For this purpose, we have to take actions to improve such a vulnerable national land structure. In addition to this, we are also being confronted with the rapid decrease in population, an aging society, limited resourees and energy, environmental constraints, social ‘and economic changes, aswell as changes in the international situation. Against this backdrop, people's needs have diversified in tems of the need for the functions thet roads supply as wel 15 road space. Accordingly, appropriate actions ae also required to be taken to improve ad quai. “Meanwhile the land of our nation contains precipitous terain and many rivers, as well as a number of urban areas with strict spatial constrains due to highly concentrated Tand use. ‘Thetefore, bridges are essential structures forthe construction and improvement of roads. Is necessary to move forward with their construction and improvement in an appropriate manner ‘while reducing their lifecycle cost and the burdens oftheir maintenance and management. ‘The “Construction Standard for National and Prefectural Highways" were established as Japan's fist road-sueture standards in 1886, The design ive Toad was fst specified in these “andards. Since then, technical standards for oad bridges have gradually been revised to ‘support various changes such asthe development of automobile traffic andthe advancement ‘of bridge technologies. Originally, the standards were laid dovn as part ofthe road structure ‘standart. In 1939, the “Draft Design Specifications for Steel Highway Bridges” was first ‘established as independent technical standards for road bridges. Sine then, siandards have been gradually designed and revised for various bridge structures and members. From 1972 t 1980, these standards were organized into the present style consisting of Part: Volume on Common Matters, Part Il: Volume on Stee! Bridges, Part Ii: Volume on Conerete Bridges, Part V: Volume on Substructures and Part V: Volume en Seismic Design Since then, the standards have also been revised several times to establish peeformance-code type technical standards. In 1993, the design live load, et. was revised In response t0 the revision of the Highway Structure Ordinance; in 1996, they were revised to strengthen ‘seismic design, ete. in response (othe occurrence ofthe Great Hanshin Earthquake; and in 2001, they were revised to specify required performances, ec. In particular, in the Great East Japan Earthquake, no fal damage from earthquake ground motions was found on bridges that had been designed or repaired in accordance with the 1996 seismic standards or subsequent versions. Tis fact suggests thatthe revision ofthe standards contributed to the improvement of the seismic performance ofthe bridges. In addition, we now recognize the possibilty of the consecutive occurrence of earthquakes as a factor ‘contributing to the risk of earthquake ground motions. We have also reconfirmed the necessity for constructing road networks consistent with local tsunami disaster prevention plan, In addition, the appropriate maintenance and management of rad structures including bridges is becoming increasingly important. Accordingly, itis necesary to take proper measures fom the design stage so that reliable maintenance and management can be easily performed. In March 2002 the Japan Road Association published the “Specifications for Highway Bridge with Commenares,” However, the Tecnica Sundard or Bigs and Fighay ‘Viaducts” have been revised mainly to enrich the content related to actions, maintenance rangement on ie bas of te Ise eared um the Great East ap Earn h response to this revision of the technical standards, we have revised every volume of the “Specifications for Highway Bridges with Commentaries” and have published the revised volumes We conlially hope that readers will have an accurate understanding of the purpose of the revision, and tha the standards will contribute to the further promotion of te construction land improvement of high-quality bridges inthe future March 2012 Kotaro Hashimoto, Chairman ofthe Japan Road Association Foreword “Part IL Concrete Bridges" ofthe Specifications for Highway Bridges was announced asthe “Technical Standard for Bridges and Highway Viaducts” by the Ministry of Construction in 1978. IC was established by integrating various standards, such as the “Specifications for Reinforced Conerete Highway Bridges” issued in 1968 andthe “Specifications for Prestressed Concrete Highway Bridges” isued in 1968, as part of the systematization of road bridge specifiatons Alter that, in 1996, it was revised mainly in terms of provisions related to seismic design. In 2001, it was revised again mainly to specify required performance levels, change the format ‘of the provisions, strengthen the provisions for durability, ete. in order to establish performance-code type technical standards In this revision, Pat 1. Common Mater has been revised from the viewpoint ofthe proper ‘measures that should be taken from the design stage with consideration given o maintenance and management. It has also been revised on the basis ofthe information, ee. that has been ‘obtained since the last revision from the achievements of investigations and studies, performance records, and the disaster cases that have occured in recent years. Part IL Concrete Bridges has also undergone various revisions. For example, new provisions have been added in order to support new sruetres based on recent technical developments and to improve durability The following are the mejor review points, For Part I. Common Provisions 1. Ita been stipulated thatthe reliability of maintenance and management as well as the ‘case with which they ean be performed be taken into consideration at a basic design sconcept 2, has been stipulated that methods for the maintenance and management scheduled to be performed during the in-service period, and the facilities, etc, requied for the maintenance and management be appropriately taken into eonsideration from the design stage; 3. Iehas been stipulated that various records on investigations, design, construction, quality Control, etc. that are required for appropriate maintenance and management during the Irservice period be kept so that the records can be effectively used for the maintenance and ‘management 4 thas been stipulated that structural design be performed with consideration given to the possibilty tha the damage, et, of some members may leed to fatal sites, such as bridge collapse; 5. Reinforcements ($D390 and SD$90) with high yield point have been newly adopted as ‘usable materials. For Part Il, Concrete Bridges: 1. Applicable ranges, allowable ses, internal radi of bending, ete. have been specified for reinforeements (SD390 and SD#90) with yield poin higher than conventionally specified yield points; 2. Provisions that were conventionally given as structural deals in chapters and sections have ‘been revised so as to clearly express the purposes for specifying the details and items being required, andthe structure ofthe specifications has also been reviseds, 3. In order to streamaine design, provisions forthe joints between the ginders and slabs of ‘composite girder bridges have Been revised; 44. The classification used in the specifications has been changed from the conventional ‘lassfieaon by bridge types to classification by structures. For example, chapters on continuous stuetures and egid-frame sutures have been added; 5. Provisions for large-eccenticity external cable structures have been expanded and a new chapter on extemal eable structures has been ued: 6, Basie provisions for the safety, durability, ete. of the joins of composite structures have been specified forthe frst ime; 7. Provisions for constrction have been expanded in order to enhance durability, 8. Provisions for trunceted portions in pier crowns hve been deleted because truncated portions in pier erowns have only rarely been adopted in actual construction in recent years. ‘The present standards contain not only the provisions of the specifications but also the commentaries of backgrounds to the provisions and grounds for them, differences from previous specifications, ete. Therefore, in actual application of the specifications, ceeful reading ofboth the provisions and their commentaries will deepen the reader's understanding ‘ofthe specifications. We cordially hope thatthe present standards will serve as specifications forthe design and construction of oad bridges and wl contribute to ensuring higher safety and durability, ‘March 2012 ‘Committee on Bridges Subcommittee on General Bridge Structures Subcommittee on Concrete Bridges ‘Members of Committee on Bridges Chairman ‘Michio OKAHARA Former Caiman “sso VAMAKAWA Members Taisuke AKIMOTO Hivokzas IEMURA, © Tadayoshi ISHIBASHI Yasuhio ISHIHARA Kimiko (ZUM ‘Yasuo INOKUMA, © Shiacki VwU0 Hider OHTA ‘Akio OHTSUKA, ‘Kunio OHMORI (© Masafumi OGASAWARA Atauo OGAWA ‘Moi OKUDA Sati OSHITA Masataka KATSURAG!

Therefore, when a bridge witha span close to or exceeding the maximum span of the relevant construction type is to be designed, various matters athe than those stipulated inthis volume shall be examined from the aspect of stress end deformation analysis snd material management. This volume i intended for application mainly to supersrucures of reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete bridges; however, it also stipulates the design of nodal joins for application to the horizontal members of rigid frame bridges or other members whose ‘superstructure and substructure cannot be divided distinetly. The design ofthe pier and other columnar members of a rigid frame bridge is stipulated in the Part IV; Substructure. However, the towers of cable-stayed bridges andthe vertical members of arc bridges shall satay the provision of this volume, “This volume is described on the premise of concrete using plain Porland cement and high-early-stength Portland cement conforming t0 JIS R 5210. Therefore, when other types of conrete ae to be used, adequate examination should be performed. This volume consists of chapters common to the design of reinforced concrete bridges and prestressed concrete bridges (Chapter | "General ” and Chapter 7 “Slab”, chapters desribing ‘matters characteristic of individual stuctures (Chapter 8 “Slab Bridges” through Chepter 19 “Other Members", and Chapter 20 “Construction.” Therefore, when applying this volume, application should take place after due consideration of the organization of chapers, 1.2 Definition of Terms The terms used in this volume are defined as follows, (1) Stee Reinforcement and prestessing steel used for concrete structures 2) Anchorage: The device to fix the tensioned prestessing steel 10 the hardened concrete, in 8 prestressed conerete member prepared by the posttensioning method 8) Coupler The device to connect two pieces of prestressng sel or two anchorages (8) Under design lod: ‘The load sate when verifying the structure agains! the allowable stress during and after construction (5) Under ultimate toad ‘The load stale when verifying the safety of the structure against ailure (6) Prestressed concrete structure: Concrete structure prestressed so as not to allow calculated cracking under a combination of lads not considering collision load or the effects of earthquakes, (7) Biecive presess: The prestress given tothe conerete bythe effective tension ofthe pretressing steel (8) Effective tension: Alter presiress is given, the tension acting on the prestressing steel when creep and drying shrinkage ofthe concrete and relaxation ofthe presiessng steel have ended (0) Bifectiveness factor: Elective tension of prestresting stet divided by the tension acting on the presressing steel immediately afer prestressing (10) Apparent relaxation rte of resressing steel ‘The decrease in prestressing steel tension considering the effects of drying shrinkage, creep and the like of eanerete with the time under constant strain, expressed in percentage tothe prestressing steel tension iitlly given. co) a, a3 a4) | (a5) a9, a as) ag) 20) en Amount of se tthe anchorage: ‘The amount of the prestessin stel being pulled in at the anchorage, when anchoring prestressing steel to an anchorage Efetive width In verifying the stresses in Tider or the like, the Mange width that canbe considered ‘nthe design Duct: ‘The hole opened in the concrete in which to place prestressing steel, in 8 prestressed conrete member by the post-tensioning method Sheath A sleeve to form a duct ‘Yield point of see: ‘The yield point given in the Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) or the minimum standard value of strength.

Thus, it is discriminated from structures (PRC structure and the like) that allow calculated cracking under a combination of loads not considering collision Joads or earthquake effets. For conerete structure, it i difficult to prevent cracking completely duc to drying shrinkage and the lke. The term “calculated cracking” hee is intended not to allow cracking determined by calculation, ‘When prestessing by the pest-tension method, the prestessng ste is pulled in atthe position of the anchorage. This phenomenon is called “set” The amount of set depends on the type of anchorage. When a nutaype or button heade-type anchorage is used, this amount may be neglected. In case ofthe wedge type anchorage, however, itis relatively large (15), (16) The JIS Standards for reinforeed concrete bar, presressing seo! and prestressing wire, and prestessing strand are JIS G 3112, JIS G 3109, and JIS G 3836, respectively (17) In the desig ofthis volume, the reinforcement diameters to be applied are defined for steel bars for concrete reinforcement in conformity with the JI. (18) The diagonal tensile reinforcement placed in a girder is also called web reinforcement. Diagonal tensile reinforcement includes a sirup and bent bat (19) This is hoop ties, stirrups and other similar reinforcement. Hoop tes are placed in a columnar member (20) The hook mage by bending the end of reinforcement through 180 degrees in a semicircular form is called a semicircular hook, the hook bent through 90 degrees is called « rectangular hook, and the hook bent through 135 degrees is called an seute hook, (22) This isthe construction method formerly called the precast block method. (23) The extemal tendon structure is a type of construction made of a concrete member outside of which prestressing stel is placed to prestress the member section, This prestresing ste scaled the external tendon. In contrast o extemal tendon structure, conventional construction is made of a concrete member inside of which prestessing steel is placed and stressed to prestress the member section. This is called internal tendon structure and includes cates with bond and unbond between the prestessing steel and concrete (25) This is the compressive strength of concrete necessary for determining a mix ‘proportioning strength, increased by multiplying the design standard strength by 2 coeflcient beforehand, considering the variation in strength of the concrete aseibable to the friction conditions.

Investigation of durability shall be performed according tothe provisions of Chapter 5 Provision (1) stipulates ensuring required performance in structural design and provision (2) stipulates ensuring durability. Of the basic principles stipulated in Section 1.3 of the Part I: ‘Common, the certainty and safety of construction, certainty and ease of maintenance ‘management, environmental compatibility, and economic eficeney should be kept always in mind when examining the structural design and durability, and examination shall be petformed to optimize them by making and comparing several structural designs or by other o ‘To ensure serviceability for passengers for safe and comforiable use, i is required that ‘excessive deformations detrimental to serviceabiliy will not occur and vibrations raking the passengers uncomfortable will not over.

In the structural design of concrete bridge, making the following two types af verification is stipulated. 1) For the requirement so as not to allow serviceability to lower and ensure the safety of the stricture for that purpose, verifying tha, under the most adverse loads due to Vehicles, pedestrians and others during the period assumed in the design, the stresses occuring in the various members of the bridges are confined toa level at Which the safety of the members can be secured and eracking will not become detimental is stipulated 2) Tocensure the safety of a structure against filure, verifying that the sectional force occurring in each member of the bridges due to an ultimate load greater than the design Joad is less dian the ultimate strength of that member against failure is stipulated. 3) Examination ofthe effects of earthquakes, that is, calculation of the response value and verifying the members against earthquake effects shall be in accordance with the provisions of the Part V: Seismic Design.

(2) This clase gives these combinations of loads likely to set atthe same time that have adverse effet on the structure and its members, Since these combinations have different frequency of occurrence and diferent extent of influence on the structre and its members, this set of specifications stipulates different values of the inorease coeticient for allowable stress according 10 eech combination of loads. When calculating the prestres ina prestressed concrete member, both the prestessing force immediately after prestesing. and the effective prestresing force should be considered, @) This clause stipulates the factor to multiply the loads under the ultimate load and combinations of loads. For the effeets of earthquake ground motion, verification of seismic performance against Level 2 earthquake ground motion is to be performed in earthquake resistant design. Therefore, the earthquake eects are not considered here 188 combination of loads under the ultimate load. For the factor to multiply the loads, its value shal be determined ina probabilistic way considering the variation of each load, variation of construction accuracy, and others [At the present stage, however, suficient data to give a rational value to the ‘multiplication fictor for any typeof load are not avilable, so using the seme value as ‘before shall be used. In a statically indeterminate structure of prestressed concrete, statically indeterminate forces will eur generally due to prestressing frees and ereep and drying shrinkage of concrete, so this should be considered in verifying under the Uulimate load. In this case, in a combination of loads under the ultimate load, these statically indeterminate forces shall be added with the factor taken tobe 1.0 2.3.

Thus, against bending moment, axial free, shest foree, torsional moment and other sectional forces, verifjing thet the reinforeement tess and concrete stress oocurring in a member section under the design lad, or du to the combination of loads stipulated in provsion(2) of Section 2.2, are not grester than the respective allowable stresses is stipulated. In this volume of specifications, prestressed concrete structure is defined in Section 1.2, that i, itis defined as concrete structure prestressed so as not 10 allow calculated cracking against a combination of loads not considering collision load or the effects of earthquakes. Therefore, when structure that allows ealeulated cracking under the bove-mentioned combination of loads (PRC structure and the like) isto be employed, it should be employed after fully verifying the environmental conditions and filly ‘examining the members to be employed, the allowable crack width to beset, the amount cof prestres oe stressed, and others Under the ukimate foad, the design sectional force due to the combination of loads stipulated in provision (3) of Section 22 acts on a member section. By verifying that this design sectional force is not greater than the sectional ultimate strength, itis possible to prevent bending failure and shear failure of @ member and the failure of ‘concrete and to verify the safety ofthe structure. Thus, for concrete bridges, verifying ‘under the ultimate load, in addition to performing the check in provision (2), is stipulated, and thsi described in Chapter 4 under verifying members. This volume of specifications describes basic matters of design of a concrete bridge and therefore, in designing, related technieal standards and the Hige should be refered to as the need arises. The provisions ofthis volume do not verily fatigue and vibrations due to lve Toad and the like in a direct manner. For fatigue, although adequate knowledge has not been ‘biained about material fatigue strength for conerete road bridges and other structures 2. undergoing many repetitions of Tow stress amplitude, te allowable stress also considers fatigue to some extent, and there are few instances where fatigue has caused problems in conerete road bridges. For vibrations as well, although there is no appropriate live load mode! to verify vibrations, no road surface properties targeted in maintenance management and no allosable vibration level is stipulated at present, there have been no instances reported of vibration causing problems in concrete brides satisfying the allowable stress. As above, fatigue and vibrations do not need to be verified when ‘verifying was conducted according tothe provisions ofthis volume of specifications. ‘Verifying vibrations due to wind shall be conducted according to Handbook of Wind Resistant Design of Road Bridges (Japan Road Assocation, January, 2008) -B- CHAPTER3 ALLOWABLE STRESS 31 General (0) Allowsbie stress shal be the val sulted in Seton 3.210 3.4 (2) Allowsble sees not stilted in Sestins 32 t0 3.4 shall be set based on the tnechanial properties ofthe material nd structure, variation in engi ofthe material fd oes te have salty equivalent or super tothe ses stplaed in provision (1 (9) Allowable stress we in the design ofa conse bridge shal be the value mulled by nincrease coefficient given in Table 3.1.1 scoring to he combination of ads.

Therefore, the allowable compressive stress of concrete is stipulated differently for reinforced concrete structure and for prestressed concrete structure because Young's modulus ratio of steel to concrete and other assumptions in the design are lfferent between the two types of structure. Large bending compressive stresses occur at the center, ends and other specific portions ofthe member, while axial compressive stress occurs uniformly over the entire length of the member, Accordingly, an allowable stres is stipulated separately for bending compressive stess and for axial compressive stess. When acted on by bending moments from two iretions at right angles at the same time, the portion where the maximum bending, compressive stress occurs is local, so the allowable bending compressive stress may be taken tobe 1.0 Ninn ade to the values in the tables For reinforced concrete structure, values are given for generally used concrete with a design standard strength of 21 Nfawm' to 30 Nim’, Her, the sllowable bending compressive stress stipulated tobe one-third of the design standard strength as before, and the allowable axial compressive stress is stipulated to be one-thinl of 85 percent of the design standard strength, When a eonerete whose design standard strength exceeds the range shown in Table 3.2.1 isto be used its allowable stress may be determined according this method of determining allowable stress; however, when a strength of conerete is higher than the strength generally used for reinforced concrete structure is to be used ts desirable to determine the stress considering its mechanical characteristics aswell For prestressed concrete structure, the generally used design strength is 30 Nin’ and ‘the strength to which high-strength conerete can be made by using a high-performance airentraining water-reducing agent or the lke without increasing the unit content of water is 60 Nimm?, and values in this range are shown. For beam members of prestressed concrete structure using a high-strength concrete whose design standard strength exceeds the range of Table 322 but does not exceed 80 Nimm’, their ‘mechanical behavior has been clarified by experiment. However, such a high-strength concrete requires meticulous contol over a series of fabrication processes sush as appropriate mix setting and mixing transport, placement and curing. In the present ciroumstances, these conditions are satisfied when a precast member fabricated in a factory under stot quality contol is used, Therefore, for precast members fabricated in sucha factory, the design standard stength may bese to up to 80 Nim. -19- ‘The allowable bending compressive stress applied to precast beam members using & high-stengih conerete witha design standard strength of up to 80 Nim? is shown in ‘Table C, 32.1, In the ease of a high-strength concrete with a design strength exceeding 60 Nim, frit allowable tensile stres, increase coefficient of allowable tensile stress, and allowable diagonal tensile stess relevant to the provisions of the second and subsequent clauses and the mesn shear stres thatthe concrete can cary in Section 43:3, the respective values stipulated for the concrete with «design standard strength of 60 Nim? shall be used.

On the other hand, reinforcement with a ‘yield point higher than that of SD345 is sometimes used in superstractures, Since an increase inthe number of actual applications of such reinforcement in rent years have ed (0 the sccurmulation of technical knowledge, provisions concerning SD390 snd SD490 have been newly added inthis revision, I is expected thatthe use of reinforcement with a high yield Point may be advantageous in some sections (for example, setions near joints of continuous, rigid frame bridges) asa member undergoes a temporary larg loa, such as load caused by an earthquake, The values forthe allowable stress of reinforcement when $D300 or SD490 is used in such a member shall be as given in Table 3.3.1. To take the effets of eracks into consideration, however, it is stipulated that, even when SD390 or SD490 is used for reinforcement, the allowable stress of tems 1) and 2) shall be the same value as for SD34S, 1) To ensure the durability of concrete structure, i is rational to verity thatthe design crack width occurring at the coneete surface is not greater than the exack width allowed with respect to the durability of stel against corrosion, At present however, no calculation method of crack width has been clearly established for various load conditions, bat arrangements and the lke. Therefore this provision is stipulated for design simplicity, assuming that when the reinforcement stess under principal loads ther than live load and impaet is not erate than the value stipulated in Item 1, te concrete surface erack width never becomes detrimental to durability, This value shows the reinforcement stress at which the conerete surface crack width is confined to about 0.2 mm because of the relationship betncen the eracke width occuring in existing structures and design reinforcement stress, and others 2) When collision Toad or the effects of earthquakes are not considered in the combination of loads, the allowable stress shal be inereased according to provision (@) of Section 3.1. This item shows values serving as a reference in this case These values were determined from the requirement that cracking in conerete shall ‘ot expand and become detrimental under repeated loading and no detrimental cracking. shall occur even under the secondary loads and special loxds -B- | | | 2 4 ‘coresponding to “secondary load” and other grounds. On afloat slab and a slab bridge with a span of 10m or les, tive Toads cause wide stress variation and there sre many repeated loads, so they are exposed 10 avery severe load state compared With other general members, and the possibility of detrimental cracking occurring is ‘considered high. Moreover, such a cracking expands under repeated loading and develops into concrete separstion. To prevent this, the allowable stress of reinforcement was reduced from the value stipulated for general members. From this viewpoint, it is desirable for the reinforcement in «floor slab of reinforced ‘concrete structure to have a margin of about 20 Nim’ for an allowable stress of| 140 Nim ‘When collision load or the effets of earthquakes are considered in the combination ‘of loads, the allowable stress is inereased according to provision (3) of Section 3. ‘This item shows values serving as a reference inthis ease. These loads act for & short time, so there is litle necessity to consider concrete creaking or the lke, ‘Thus, the allowable stress of reinforcement was determined taking the yield point ‘asa reference and considering the safety factor in Section 1.7. The values in Item 3) that have been newly stipulated for SD390 and SD490 in this revision were ‘determined in accordance with the provisions on allowable stress that ae requited when the effects of earthquakes are taken into consideration in Part 1V: Subsiractures. Its assumed that reinforcement with such strength may be splied to concrete superstructures as reinforcement that i placed inthe axial direction of ‘the main ginder or the like on the assumption ofits resistance to bending moment ot anil force. On the other hind, for $D390 or SD490 reinforcement that i placed jn a manner as seen inthe placement of diagonal reinforeement that difers fom placement inthe axial direction of girders or tat is plaed inthe axial direction on the assumption of its resistance to torsional moment, the applicability of the evaluation method stipulated in this Part has not yet been sufficiently verified ‘Accordingly, values for such eases are stipulated by taking the conventional yield point of reinforcement into consideration, When biaxial bending acs, the reference values of allowable stress shown in tem 3) in Table 3.3.1 may be inereased by 10 percent except for circular sections. However, the allowable stress of reinforcement multiplied by an increase ‘coefficient shall be not greater than the yield pont. ‘The reinforcing bar lap length or bond length may be calculated considering the yield point of the reinforcement (sce the commentary to provision (4) of Clause oe 665). Ths, the allowable stress of reinforcement was taken tobe the same value as Item 3) when the placement direction ison the axis ofthe girders 5) Compressive reinforcement is constrained by concrete, so there is no need to consider buckling, and iti placed in a compressive portion, so there is no need to consider cracking. For these and other reasons, the allowable stress of reinforcement as taken to be the same value at lem 3) when the placement direction is on the ais ofthe girder. 34 Allowable Stress of Prestressing Steel ‘The allowable tensile stress of prestestng steel for prestressed concrete structure shal be the values in Table 3.4.1 ‘Table 34.1 Allowable Tensile Stress of Prestresing Stel “he vale 0.80 gy 6090 1, tng pressing Taste of 0.80 Tes stength aan) of The value 070 Gu eC 085 Gy, | PESENINB sts 2) tmmedinely ater pressing | Ts av of 0.70 Gy atnmnnionot The value of 0.60 gu 075 G,, | MEINE es 3) Under design ad ichere sale The allowable tensile stress under design load was taken to be 60 percent of the tensile strength of 75 percent of the yield point of the prestessing stl as before when due examination doesnot take place regarding member fatigue ‘The allowable tensile stress of prestressing steel for prestressed concrete stucture was caleulated according to the text of the clause, and results are shown in Table . 3.41 225+ “able €.2441 Allowable Tes tess (Wm) of Presiressing Steel CHAPTER4 VERIFICATION OF MEMBERS ——Titiwoentoes | bunny) wasn | Omran ring pe | tg | aerpresesin | “al 41 Gener Tm [na 0 ApEn Tm 1170 1050 900, ‘SWrRIAL (1) Verification of a member shall be conducted by calculating the sectional forces in surpin tom ins_[ is 0 SMrIL accordance wth the provision (2) an in accordance with he provisions of Sections 4.2 Seal vie mm i a0 0 tose mm so io surnas + syrnns am iso [ian] oo (2) Calin of sectional frees fr use in the verieaion ofa str meer under tom 10 230 design load and ultimate lad sal be based onlnear analysis using a bar member.

(1), @) Torsional moments are generally divided into equilibrium torsional moments and ‘consistent deformation torsional moments [An equlfrium torsional moment i a torsional moment thatthe member should resist to salisly the balance ofthe entre structural system, Therefore, forthe main girders of a ‘curved structure or a member whose structural system cannot be formed without ‘considering torsional resistance, a check should be performed against torsional ‘moments. In a straight bridge ofa single-box girder, a torsional moment due to live loads has litle influence, so a check against torsional moments generally need not be performed for this type of bridge. ‘A consistent deformation torsional moment is a moment caused by the deformation of a member comprising a statically indeterminate structure, In general, when a disgonal ‘rack occurs in a concrete member, the torsional rigidity lowers and the torsional ‘moment acting on thet member becomes very small, Therefore, the verification under ‘ultimate Toad against consistent deformation torsional moments may generally be ‘omitted, Under design load as well, consistent deformation torsional moments are liberated by the formation of intially occuring cracks, and the minimum amount of reinforcement against shear forces is placed in the member and it suppresses the ‘propagation of torsional cracks, so the verification against consistent deformation torsional moments may generally be omitted ‘Therefore, inthe design of a member under consistent deformation torsional moments, ‘etifcation against torsional moments may be omitted by not expecting the torsional resistance of the member in the calculation. For a Tishaped girder bridge and other =60- rillage girder structures, for example, their members may be designed by conducting analysis ignoring the torsional resistance ofthe girder, Under a torsional moment, 2 warp oceurs in the section by the axial strain and, when ‘this is held, an additional axial stress (warping restrnt stress) occurs. Fora concrete big, however, the members ae thick, so the warp restraint has lite influence and can be dealt with by the reinforcement necessary in the strctral details. Therefore, the effects of warp restraint torsion may be ignored except for an open section of an especially thin member ora curved girder of large curvature. For a member under torsional moments, verification under design load and under imate Toad should be done. In general, the items to be checked are as shown in Table C. 4.1.1 |As & principal verification under design load, the stress in diagonal tensile reinforcement and the diagonal tensile stress in conerete shouldbe checked inthe same ‘way as a member under shear fares from the viewpoint of safety and durability, such as steel corrosion and other factors. That i, for reinforced concrete structure, it should ‘be checked thatthe stress in diagonal tensile reinforcement does not reach a stress value ‘at which detrimental cracks occur in the concrete, and for prestressed concrete structures, it shouldbe checked thatthe diagonal tensile stress in the concrete does not reach a stress valu at which eracks occur {As the verification under ultimate load, it shouldbe checked that diagonal tensile failure ‘or compressive filure of the web concrete will never occur as reslt of a yield of diagonal tensile reinforcement, in the same way asa member under shear forces. For members under torsional moments, they should be checked both of when only the torsional moments act on them, and when the torsional moments and shear fares at on ‘them atthe same time, respectively. For a box-shaped section, a shear force due t0 shear flow occurs in the closed webs and flanges, so check shouldbe performed for both members When torsional moments, shear forces and bending moments actin combination on & conerete member, many points are unclear in terms of the behavior of the concrete rember, and research is now under way. At present, therefore, the amount of reinforcement calculated for each types of sectional forces ignoring the imeraction betwen these types of sectional force may be placed in accordance with he provisions ‘of Chapter 6. Here, i some part of the reinforcement placed against bending moments <6 thas & margin of sress and satisfies the provisions of the placement configuration as torsional reinforcement, this reinforcement may be regarded a torsional reinforcement. ‘Tosional flue of « prestressed concrete structure occurs rapidly unlike a reinforced concrete structure. To prevent this itis best ro place the minimum amount of steels stipulated in Section 6.4 as reinforcement against torsional moments, 442 Effective Section (1) The effetive section against torsional moments shall be determined considering the stress flow inthe setion, (2) When the effective section against torsional moment is calculated in accordance with provision (3), provision 1) is deemed tobe satisfied.

Because the elective section against torsional moments depends onthe shape of the section, the effective section should be determined according to that shape. In the ease of a Tshaped girder section, the flange and web resist torsional moments spproximately independently. The effective flange width of a Fshaped girder against torsional moments is asserted to be 3 to 5 times the flange thickness according to pat studies, and here, considering safety, haf of the effective width ofa flange is stipulated tobe up to 3 times the flange thickness. When the lange thickness isnot uniform, 3 times the mean thickness may be taken. Inthe case of @ box-thaped girder section, the Manges not forming the box-shaped girder section and the box-shaped gitder section resist torsional moments approximately independently. In a box-shaped girder section, a shear flow flows throug the whole circumference of the members forming the closed section, and it resists torsional moments. Therefore the members forming the box-shaped section are all effective The effective width ofa flange not forming the box-shaped section is the same asin the case of « Fshaped girder. 63 443.

In this ease, bonded Drestressingstel that canbe regarded as torsional steel may be taken into account after converting it int its reinforcement equivalent.

At present, however, the technique that can be verified the effets of ‘combined action into consideration has not been established adequately, soi is important to design considering the deterioration of existing structures In this chapter, Section 5.2 describes salt damage based on technical knowledge gained sofa because damage eppears markedly in the concrete members of road bridges. An examination of durability against the other factors, thet is, neutralization, freezing and thawing effect, and chemical erosion can be omited in general by satisfying the provisions {for materials and execution of works stipulated in Chapter 20 and others. However, when the environmental conditions are especially severe or when other than the provisions for ‘materials and execution of works stipulated in Chapter 20 are followed, it is desimble to perform an examination refering to the “Stadatd Specifications for Concrete (published by Japan Society of Civil Engineers in March 2008)" and other materials tis desirable to take waterproof measures in order to minimize damage dusing he in-service period because in some cases water and chloride ions invading through anchors, grout injection hoes or the lke cause damage to conerete members. [As for examination for fatigue, because there are few cases where fatigue hes posed a problem asa concrete bridge, itis stipulate tht an examination fr fatigue may be omited in _geneal by conducting the verification of the members in accordance with the provisions of ‘Chapter 4, However, for structures and eable-stayed bridges with no actual performance “3 data, ths shouldbe appropriately considered ifthe effets of Fatigue du to live lads ofthe likes of concern, 52 Examination for Salt Damage (1) Concrete structures shall be made to ensure thatthe required durability i not impaired by salt damage. @)_ In the region shown in Toble $2.2 and Table $2.1, provision (1) are deemed to be satisfied by taking the minimum concrete cover atthe value shown in Table $2.1 ot ‘over or by taking other measures ‘Table $2.1 Minimum Concrete Cover against Effects of Sat Damage nm) ‘Smastae (i) Fasaqyaaie—[G) Prewened —[G) Renied pestessed cencrte oes sev comor\| — Bonree Sscteesoher | sree Sfrateyamags\ Seeks snore fan (1) Sevenly kee’ [8 7 T w 10 ised T 3s # 70 1 ‘Novas Susy Clause 65.1 Conrconerfitel "Une some reinforcement or vse conrt pun in aon, TableS2.2 Regions Affected by Salt Damage ‘Severe ofeakdamape and Regina cas of mesures sana a “measures, Severity ‘se DS Ta a | Okinawa |thestorine S__| Severely feed Sie [Gaia aaaetpesoam | Range cer than the above 1 ete Sas. amr . | St Ete ubteS23[Eyceding 30 meter ba p 0500 ets _[ Bese 500 ces bat wp 070 meters Above se vel ad wp 20 meta fon a [eae S| severety ated jog OUT UpOSOeR | —T seen 5 mete bt opt I ete | IE Arts Exceeding [005 bl wp 200 ete | Artec Regios other © | tate above me é oats (hearth shaane ccng SMereson stove) Figure 521 Regional Division by Severity of Salt Damage ‘Table 52.3 Regions Belonging to Regional Division B Tn okie, Rabu Rake, Ritie-do, Wallan iy, Storm, Toyobo an Horabechot Soy Sbpretectae, Rano Subpretetue, hk Supra, shied Subp, Hama Siete, and Masumsccho Yue of stima Supe.

In this case, itis necessary to grasp the airborne saline content at the bridging site and the saline penetration coefficient of the concrete. In sdktion, the chlorides supplied to the coneretesurfce include the chloride spread as «road surface ant-fieezing agent (snow melting agen) in addition to the chloride bome from the sea, Accordingly, for a bridge on which 2 road surface ant-feezing agent willbe used or a bridge adjacent to such a oad section, it is desirable to perform an examination considering the intrusion of chlorides due to leakage of road surface drainage, splashing by vehicle, and the like, For plain concrete, sce! corrosion due to chloride ion intusion does not occu, so this examination is not necessary. ‘The salt damage to conerete bridges generally occurs more on T-ginder and T-gieder bridges than on slab and box-girder bridges. As forthe structural paris, damage is ‘often seen at the comers of the lower flange. Therefore, for the siructure to be insusceptible to salt damage, i is desirable to consider reducing the number of comers and reducing the area of st deposition to as small as posible. Near the comers itis ‘desirable to consider bar arrangements that allow a thick concrete cover by taking the radius of the ber curvature at a large value. For a concrete bridge on which salt damage is of concer, it is necessary t take measures so thatthe damage is minimal in the period assumed inthe design, Measures aginst salt damage include an inerease in ‘concrete cover, use of costed reinforcement and coating ofthe conerete surface, and these methods have many instances of use. In addition to the method based on electrolytic protection, the following protective components have begun to be employed: stainlesssteol reinforcement, for which JIS Standards has been established; non-ferrous sheaths for prestressed concrete structures; and coated prstessing stels, ts importan to sufficiently examine factors that influence dursbility, such as excess oF deficiency of protection curent in eletrolytic protection, management of the amount of protection curent, end corrosion due fo contact between dissimilar metals, as well as t0 take salt damage protection measures based on examination resus, When using epoxy’ resin-coated reinforcement, it is desirable to refer to “Recommendation for Design and Construction of Concrete Structures Using. Epoxy-Coated Reinforcing Steel Bars (Revised Baiton)”(lapan Society of Civil Engineers, November, 2003). -76- This provision stipulates the same conventional value forthe minimum concrete cover, ‘which is based on the “Guidelines for Salt Damage Prevention Measures of Highway Bridges (Deaf) with Commentary” (Japan Road Association) and research results for the effects of increasing concrete cover. Tables $2.1 and 5.2.2 were determined based ‘on the results of nation-wide surveys of sctual salt damage conditions and st-borne salt, content conducted in the past, and experiments of salt penetration into concrete, assuming a design target life of 100 years. The depree of salt penetration into eonerete depends on the water-cement ratio of the concrete, so Table 5.2.1 assumes the ‘watercement ratio to be the respective values in Table C. 5.2.1 ‘Table C.52:1 Assumed Water-cement Ratio 1D Fason-mde ——[G) Prewencd | 6) Renfoad sete prtoedeencete | conerestucures | coerce Ens here osc Assumed water-ement ato 30% o% sor [Because the relationship between specified compressive stength of concrete and the ‘vater-cment rato depends onthe ageregstc, sump and other factors in some cases, this must ‘be appropriately considered when assuming the minimum concrete cover. When a concrete ‘using a cement other than ordinary Portland cement or high-carly-strengh cement is to be used or when a concrete witha large water-cement ratio isto be used, examination should be performed separately. ‘The regional division shown in Table 5.2.2 was newly stipulated by amending the lasses of ‘measures stipulated in the “Guidelines for Salt Damage Prevention Measures of Highway Bridges (raf) with Commentary” (Japan Road Associaton) based on results of surveys and studies. The classes of measures may be changed by one level considering the topological, meteorological and hydrological conditions at the bridging site and the conditions of salt damage 10 concrete structures in the neighborhood. The names of the regions shown in ‘Table-S.2.3 reflect the changes in their names due to mergers among cities, towns, and Villages, as well as otber activites. Though the names differ, the target regional divisions have not been changed from the previous target divisions. Ina concrete bridge its desirable to limit the concrete cover ofthe outermost reinforcement tw about 70 mm to prevent an increase in dead Toad end the progress of eracks. Factory-made prestressed concrete structures are good with respect to quality control and superior in concrete quality to other members, soit i stipulated that their cover should be smaller than that of ther structures, In general, factory-made presiessed conerete structures 1. tre applied to prestressed concrete girders manufactured using the pretensioning method, This is because previous inspections of actual bridges showed that, although they have smaller cover than concrete girders manufactured using the post tensioning method, prestressed concrete ginders manufactured using the petensioning method installed in coastal seas suffered salt damage in only a small number of cases, Since the pretensioning method for factory manufacture requires early strength development, the water-cement ratio is ocreased to achieve relatively high concrete strength, Consequently, this process produces highly Gumble concrete, and cover size is relatively well controlled, When segment structures manufactured using the postensioning method satisfy the same conditions, they may be repatded as fctory-made prestressed concrete structures. For Class of measures S and Class of measures I for (3) reinforced concrete structures a the severity of salt damage, it is shown that increasing concrete cover alone is not sulfcient as a ‘measure against salt damage. In tis ease, it s necessary to use coated reinforcement or use ‘concrete coating. in addition, By using coated reinforcement or concrete coating, salt penetration can be prevented and the severity of salt damage can be reduced. At presen, however, ther salt blocking effect, durability and other properties have not necessarily been ‘etified, soit is desirable to inerease the minimum concrete cover in conformity with Table 52.1 even if they are used. When « method using stainless-steel reinforcement or other method is applied before the effectiveness of its durability and other properties have been sufficiently verified, itis desirable t increase the minimum conerete cover in accordance with Table 5.2.1 inthe same manner as in cases where examinations reflecting site conditions and findings of other investigations have not been performed, In general, the location of the shoreline shown in Table 5.2.2 refers to the location of the shoreline shown in Figure C. $2.1. When the shoreline is unclear because there are no shore-protection or other structures to define the shoreline, the land-side boundary line ofthe shore protection area, which is defined in the “Design Manual for Coastal Facilites” {published by the Japan Sovety of Civil Engineers in November 2000), may be regarded to be ‘he shoreline. o18- Sea aes Low-water line “Mean high-water evel Mean wrwaterTevell 7” Shoretne i ‘Shore-protection or other structures Figure C. 521 Location of Shoreline “1.
