Problem : P2 The clear span of a RCC solid slab bridge is 8.6 m and the centre
to centre of bearings of the bridge is 9.1 m. The overall depth of a solid slab
bridge is 1000mm and the thickness of wearing coat is 100mm. The longitudinal
reinforcements are provided by 20mm dia bars. The unit weight of concrete, γc =
25.00kN/m3 and the unit weight of wearing coat γwc = 22.00kN/m3 The size of
bearing is 500.0mm × 500.0mm.

(a) Calculate the maximum shear force due to dead load.

(b) Calculate the maximum bending moment due to dead load.

Problem : P3 The clear span of a RCC solid slab bridge is 8.6 m and the centre to
centre of bearings of the bridge is 9.1 m. The overall depth of a solid slab bridge is
1000mm and the thickness of wearing coat is 100mm. The unit weight of concrete,
γc = 25.00kN/m3 and the unit weight of wearing coat γwc = 22.00kN/m3 The size
of bearing is 500.0mm × 500.0mm. The vehicle load is 23.0kN/m2 and the length
of vehicle in longitudinal direction is 5.4m.

(a) Calculate maximum shear force due to vehicle load.

(b) Calculate maximum bending moment due to vehicle load.

Problem : P4 The overall depth of a solid slab bridge is 1000mm and the clear cover
is 40mm. The longitudinal reinforcements are provided by 20mm dia bars. The
