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 9/25/2022 DETERMINATION OF MAX. BM EB IDUE TO SEVERAL CONCENTRATED LOADS Ws iw, + 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 DETERMINATION OF ABSOLUTE MAX. w= DUE TO SEVERAL CONCENTRATED LOADS Cont. 5 a Fa P [ 72, x/2| ie we + 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.
