Two charts were prepared and equations are drived from the "Trend line" both for
positive and negative moments. Though the spacing is center to center of support, consideration
is taken for the reduction with monoliticity and width of the web. For the derivation of the equation
look at the "Slab design coeff." calculations. For slab supported on two girders, the overhang cantilever
moment is compared with this value and the maximum is taken.

Let x be the center to center of girder spacing.

GB.3.1.2.2 Standard truck load


a) Transversal distribution of wheel load

I) Distribution coefficient for moment in exterior girder

For one design lane loaded the lever rule method is applied.

Distance of first line of wheel from face of rail = 0.60 m


Distance of second line of wheel from face of rail = 2.40 m
According to Art. 3.8 Live Load/Multiple Presence of Live Load, the multiple presence factor is applied where the lever rule is used.

Rex moment(1) = 1.662

The live load flexural moment for exterior beams with concrete decks may be determined by applying the lane load
fraction specified as follows:
For two or more design lanes are loaded: Where : de is the distance in mm from the face of
rail to exterior face of exterior girder. It is positive
de = 870 m if the exterior web is inboard and vise versa.
Rex moment(2) = (0.77+de/2800)*Rin moment -300 <= de <= 1700
= 0.780

Therefore, Rex moment (1) or for half lane load loading (i.e. one line of load )
Rex moment (2) multiplied by two and the maximum is taken.
According to Art. 3.8 Live Load/Multiple Presence of Live Load, the factors shall not be applied in conjunction with
approximate load distribution factors specified above, except where the lever rule is used.

Rex moment= 1.662

II) Distribution coefficient for shear in exterior girder

For one design lane loaded the lever rule method is applied.
According to Art. 3.8 Live Load/Multiple Presence of Live Load, the multiple presence factor is applied where the lever rule is used.
Rin shear(1) = 1.662

For two or more design lanes are loaded:

Rin shear(2) = (0.6+de/3000)*Rin shear


= 0.768

Therefore, Rex shear (1) or for half lane load loading (i.e one line of load )
Rex shear (2) multiplied by two and the maximum is taken.

Rin shear= 1.662

GB.3.2.2.2 Standard truck load


a) Transversal distribution of wheel load
I) Distribution coefficient for moment in interior girder

The live load flexural moment for interior beams with concrete decks may be determined by applying the lane load
fraction specified as follows:

For one design lane loaded:


According to Art. 3.8 Live Load/Multiple Presence of Live Load, the distribution factor where single lane approximation distribution
is used has to be divided by 1.20.
0.4 0.3 3 0.1
Rin moment(1) = 0.06+(S/4300) (S/L) (Kg/Lts ) Where :
= 0.441 (Kg/Lts3) may be taken as 1.0
1100 <=S <=4900
For two or more design lanes are loaded: 6000 <=L <=73000

0.6 0.2 3 0.1


Rin moment(2) = 0.075+(S/2900) (S/L) (Kg/Lts )
= 0.721

Therefore, Rin moment (1) or for half lane load loading (I.e one line of load )
Rin moment(2) multiplied by two and the maximum is taken.
According to Art. 3.8 Live Load/Multiple Presence of Live Load, the factors shall not be applied in conjunction with
approximate load distribution factors specified above, except where the lever rule is used.

Rin moment= 1.443

II) Distribution coefficient for shear in interior girder

For one design lane loaded:


According to Art. 3.8 Live Load/Multiple Presence of Live Load, the distribution factor where single lane approximation distribution
is used has to be divided by 1.20.
Rin shear(1) = 0.36+S/7600 Where :
= 0.585 1100 <=S <=4900
6000 <=L <=73000
For two or more design lanes are loaded:

Rin shear(2) = 0.2+S/3600-(S/10700)2.0


= 0.863

Therefore, Rex shear (1) or for half lane load loading (I.e one line of load )
Rex shear (2) multiplied by two and the maximum is taken.

Rin shear= 1.726

GB.3.5 Design for Shear for Exterior and Interior girders


According to Eq. 12.25 and 12.26, Design of cross sections subject to shear shall be based on:

Vu <= fVn and Vn =Vc+Vs

The shear stress carried by concrete is calculated as

b= 2.00
vc =0.083*b*sqrt(fc') = 0.742 MPa
fvc = 0.668 MPa
For the shear in excess of the concrete capacity, the value carried by shear reinforcement is given by
the equation as follows:
For shear reinf. perpendicular to the axis of the member, Vs=Avfyd/s
===> s=Avfy/(v-fvc)bw
Maximum spacing requirements

According to eq. 12.34,, Av>=0.083sqrt(fc')bw s/fy ==> s<=Avfy/(0.083sqrt(fc')bw)


where:
bw = 380 mm
smax=Avfy/(0.083sqrt(fc')bw) = 561.3 mm Dia. of shear rein. = 12 mm
No of legs = 2
fy = 350.000 MPa
fs = 175.000 MPa
Moreover, according to Eq. 12.35 fshear = 0.9
If Vu < 0.1fc'bvdv, then: If Vu >= 0.1fc'bvdv, then:
smax <= 0.8dv<=600mm smax <= 0.4dv<=300mm

dv = 1062.79 mm
0.1fc'bvdv = 807.7238 kN Vu = 960.45 kN

smax = 300.00 mm

Therefore, the max. spacing is the smaller of the two.

smax = 300 mm

Sections located less than a distance d from support may be designed for the same shear,V,
as that computed at a distance d. But in this case the shear at support is considered.

Vd = 859.4 kN

The maximum deflection is calculated as follows:

Def. Max. = 5[w*l ] Ec = 22610 Mpa

= 25.64 mm

Since the instantaneous deflection is based on Ie, the long term deflection may be taken as the
instantaneous deflection multiplied by the following factor.

Factor = 3.0-1.2(As'/As)>=1.6
Where
As' = area of compression reinforcement (mm2)
As = area of nonprestressed tension reinforcement (mm2)
Since As' =0, the multiplying factor is 3.0

Factor = 3.0

Long term deflection = 76.91 mm

The live load deflection at middspan for different loading conditions that is analogous to the moving
load pattern is given as follows:

P P P/4

- When investigating the maximum absolute deflection, all design lanes should be loaded; and all
supporting components should be assumed to deflect equally.
- The live load portion of load combination Service I of Table 3-3( i.e, load factors for both live
and dead load equal to 1.0) with dynamic load allowance factor should be applied.
P with IM = 385.7 kN w lane load = 18.6 N/mm
x =l/2 = 8.3 def. Lane =5wl4/(384EI) = 5.50 mm

Px/(6eIl) = 9.61E-12 mm
According to Chapter 3,
- The live load deflection should be taken as the larger of :
* That resulting from the design truck alone, or
* That resulting from 25 percent of the design truck together with the design lane load.

Therefore, the maximum live load deflection is the maximum of the tabulated values above.

Def. Live load Max = 20.98 mm


For Vehicular load, the deflection limit is equal to Span/800.
