 Difference between static and moving loads

 In the previous example the acting loads

were static loads but in the case of bridge
the live loads are moving loads.

 These moving loads should be put to give

maximum straining actions

Steps to get loads on stringer
 Steps of getting moment and shear from LL

 Step 1
 Determine the stringer to be designed.

 The designed stringer is usually the middle

stringer.

 Step 3:
 Take strips perpendicular to stringer, get the
reaction.

Steps of getting moment and shear from LL

 Strip 1 (effect of concentrated loads)

Heavier load is above stringer directly
Using these loads depends on distance a

 Steps of getting moment and shear from LL

 Step 4
 Apply loads (obtained as reaction from
step 3) on the studied stringer to get
maximum moment and shear.
