Mission:-

Design an interior panel of a 2.6 m span continuous slab for H20-44

loading.
AASHTO Specifications, fc'=25 MPa and fy = 276MPa.
Excuting:-

Bridge (cross section): construction that allows automobile to travel between

two points separated by an obstacle.
Parapet: parapet constructed to prevent people from falling off a bridge.
Sidewalk: raised passage at the side reserved for pedestrian traffic.
Deck: platform of a bridge.
Assembled with bolts: construction using nuts and bolts.
Stiffening beam: longitudinal piece that hold an iron cable.
Longitudinal stiffener: mechanism used to tighten an iron cable.
Pylon: generally tower-like support. See fig down:-
Solution:
Assume the above sections
Assume b =30 in. =2.5 ft=2 ‘ 6 “ = 76.2 cm =.762 m
Ss =2.6 – 0.0.762 =1.838 m
Assume ( h) for slab = 8 in. =20.32 cm nearly = 20 cm

thickness for asphalt concrete = 10cm = 0.1 m

then use 300 kg (ordinary cement )mixture=1:1.25:2.5 with f--- c = 25 mpa @ 28
days . density at least(concrete) = 30 KN /m3. density at least (asphalt)= 30 KN /m3
.

D.L = 0.2 *2.6*30 +0.1*2.6*23= 21.6 KN/m/m.

Assume moment dead load factor for moments (positive & negative) = 1/10
Assume moment dead load factor for side walkway cantilever slab = ½

Max. Dead load moment (positive & negative) Md = ± =

= ± 7.23 KN.m
-For live load will used H20-44 loading AASHTO Specifications (from problem)
Live Loads for Bridges,

- The AASHTO specifications also allow you to represent the truck as a

single concentrated load and a uniform load.
For H20-44 and HS20-44:

- Uniform loading 640 lb/ft of load lane

- Concentrated load 18 kips for moment & 26 kips for shear

For many cases, vehicles may bounce or sway as they move over a bridge. This
motion produces an impact load on the bridge. AASHTO has developed an impact
factor to increase the live load to account for the bounce and sway of vehicles.

Impact factor (l) = ≤ 0.3 (where L is the length of the span in feet)

Live load moment (Ml) = 0.8* P20 Where:

0.8 = The continues factor used when slab is continuous over more than two
supports.
P20 = standard load truck wheel (H20-44) is equal half load axel = 16000 lb

Ml =0.8× 20(= ×16000) = 3212.07349 ft.lb

=1.35561 N/(ft-1b)* 3212.07349 ft.lb /1000 = 4.35 KN.m
Impact factor (l) = =0.38159 not ≤ 0.3 (where L is
the length of the span in feet)
then Impact factor (l) = 0.3
Impact factor (l) ≤ 30% from Ml
MI = 0.3 × Ml = 0.3 ×4.35 = 1.305 KN.m
Total moment (MT) = Md+Ml+MI = 7.32+4.35 +1.305 = 12.975KN.m

Max. Dead load moment for side walkway cantilever slab (Md) = -

- = - 5.928 KN.m

Max. Live load moment for side walkway cantilever slab (Ml) = - =
Ml = - 6.8747 KN.m
Total moment for side walkway cantilever slab (Mt)=Md+Ml = - (6.8747 + 5.928
)=- 12.027 KN.m
Design the slab using the working stress design method

Tension(T) = fs * As = Compresion(C) = fc * b *k*d*1/2

Moment Of Resistence Mr = T * J*d=T*(1-K*d)
= As * fs *(1-K*d)

EC = 4730 √ = 4730*√ = 23650 Mpa

Es = 200000 Mpa
N= Es / EC = 200000 Mpa / 23650 Mpa= 8.45 almost
=8.5
Stress Ratio( r ) = fs / fc = 0.5 fy /0.4 =
r=0.5*276/0.4*25 = 13.8

K= = = 0.38116

J= 1 - ==1- = 0.8729

2.7927 cm
dav.= 20 – 2.5(concrete cover)-1.6(steel reinforcement dia.)-2.5(cover
from upper slab)
= 13.4 cm more than 2.7927 cm
right assumption for slab thickness

As = = 12.975(*1000*1000) / 138(=276/2) *
0.8279*13.4=8475.11 mm2
Assume dimeter = 16 mm , As= 201 mm2
Spacing = 201/8475.11=237 mm ,almost=24 cm
Use 16mm@24 cm c/c T&B
Secondary spacing = 67% from main spacing reinforcement =1.67 × 240 =
400 mm
Use 16mm@40 cm c/c
