BENDING MOMENT AND SHEAR FORCE EH
IN DECK DUE TO WHEELED VEHICULAR
LOADS (Treated as Concentrated Loads)
+ Longitudinal position of Wheeled Vehicular Live for maximum bending
moment and shear force is obtained using the rolling/moving load concept
+ According to Rolling Load Concept:
— To obtain the maximum shear force at any section, the Live load
[uniformly distributed load (UDL), or concentrated loads] is placed such
that the whole live load lies on the single side of the section considered
(where maximum shear force is required) and load should start from the
section.
— To obtain the maximum BM at any section due to moving uniformly
distributed load (UDL), the UDL is placed such that this section divides
the whole load in the same proportion as this section divides the span.
This implies that the average load intensity on either side of the section
becomes equal,
— Thus, in the case of several concentrated vehicular loads, the vehicle
position is arranged such that the average load intensity on either side
of the section becomes caval

+ According to Rolling Load concept, Max. moment at any section ‘C’ will
develop when the average of load on left side of point ‘C’ should be equal
to the average load intensity on right side of ‘C’
+ Ingeneral, concentrated loads may not be arranged exactly to produce
equal average loads on each side of section since the movement of a load
from one side to another side of point ‘C’ may cause the average load
Intensity to change from larger to smaller or vise versa,
+ Insuch case, the load which influences the average intensity of loads is
referred as critical load.
* For computation of Maximum moment, the critical load is placed at the
section itself, ie. ‘C’ in this case

+ Inthe Simply supported bridge, norrnally a maximum moment occurs near
Mid-span
+ Therefore, due to several concentrated loads also, the Absolute maximum
moment will develop near Mid-span.
+ According to Rolling Load Concept, for producing Max. BM at mid-span, the
several concentrated loads are arranged such that the resultant of all the
loads and the load near to it (on either side of) must be equidistant from
girder’s mid-span.
+ Selection of live load among the live loads on left or right side of resultant
for arranging the live load to produce absolute max. moment depends on
— Magnitude of Loads adjacent to resultant
— Distance of Loads adjacent to resultant from the resultant
9/25/2022[| «Fy
Max. BMD Always occurs under a Concentrated Load
| While arranging the vehicle position such that resultant of all the loads
and the load near to it are equidistant from girder’s mid-span, NO Live
load will occur at mid-span.
+ Since, the shape of the BMO for a$S beam due to series of concerted load
is always a combination of several Straight lines, Abs. Max. BM can not
occur at mid-span unless these a concentrated load at mid-span and it will
always occur under any of the concentrated load near to resultant (Fig. on
Next Slide)
* Therefore, the Abs. Max. BM occurs under a Load only near to Mid-span
(not a mid-span load isnot available at mid span)

+ Hence, the absolute maximum moment in a Simply supported
beam occurs under one of the load near to resultant of all
loads when this load and the resultant of all the loads (over
the bridge only) are positioned equidistant from the
beam’s centerline.
+ Maximum moment is to be determined under both the loads
on either side of centerline and maximum of these will give
Absolute Maximum Moment
+ Generally, absolute maximum moment occurs under the
largest Load lying nearest the resultant force of the system
except when the heavier load on either side of resultant is
very far from resultant compared to lighter load on other load.

Bending moment due to IRC Class A Vehicle Considering
Dispersion of Wheel Loads
+ For accuracy point of view, wheel loads are considered as Distributed
loads
+ Since, last two (rare) axels are close, probably the dispersed lengths
of rare wheels may overlap, and,
+ In case effective lengths of rare axels overlaps, two wheels will be
treated as a single distributed load in longitudinally direction
+ Therefore, firstly there is a need to determine the effective lengths of
the rare two axels (over the bridge deck) and check for overlapping

for Max. Moment at Mid-span
+ Since span of bridge is 10 m and the length of vehicle
(distance between front axel of driving vehicle and rare axel of
last trailr) is 18.8 m,, the following possibilities need to be
examined for determination of maximum moment in bridge:
+ Case A: Only Driving Vehicle on Bridge
+ Case B: Rare axels of deriving vehicle and few wheels of
Trailers
+ Case C: Two no. of Trailers

Class-A Driving Vehicle for Max. Moment at Mid span
Case A: Only Driving Vehicie on Bridge
‘Total Load of wheels on a side of Deriving Vehicle = (272 + 114 x2)/2 = 141 kN
For maximum moment at mid-span, the mid span should divide the load in same
proportion as it divides the span i.e. 1:1
Hence, the load on each side of mid-span must be 141/2 = 70.5 kN.
+ Since, the front axels dispersion lengths overlap, i.e. (27/2)x2 = 27 KN load is to
applied over a length of 2.31 m and intensity of UDL will be 27/2.31 = 11.69 kNim
‘+ Thus, the part of the rare axel load to be considered an loft side of mid-span
fotal Load required on left half — load of front axel = 70.5- 27 = 43.5 KN
+ As the rare axel lengths also overlap and dispersed over a length of 2.51 m, intensity
of UDL under rare axel = (114/2+114/2)/2,51 = 45.42 kNim
*+ Hence, length of the distributed load of rare axel on left of mid-span = 43.5/45.42 =
0.9577 m, and length of load on right side of mid span = 2.51 - 0.9577 = 1.5632 m
