HOMEWORK #2 AND #3: STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS OF A GRID-TYPE ROAD

BRIDGE SUPERSTRUCTURE
Analyze the following simply-supported, twin-girder, steel (ST) or reinforced concrete (RC), grid-type road bridge super-
structure! Input data are assigned in a separate document.
Assume identical crossbeams (for ST: crossbeam + cross brace + wind brace) above supports and in spans (the number
of crossbeams in span is three for the ST and two for the RC superstructure, see the structural model below)!

Tasks to submit
Homework #2: Separation of main girders by using influence line for lateral load distribution
Separate the main girders and calculate the effective width of main girders as well as the influence line characterizing
the lateral load distribution between the main girders!
Based on this, perform the structural analysis of HW#3 at the following cross-sections of the structure:
 at mid-span (section AB);
 in the vicinity of the abutment (at a distance of hw/2 (ST) or 0,9H (RC) from the abutment) (denoted by section
A’)!
Homework #3: Calculation of critical internal forces
Determine the following internal forces for the most critical main girder:
a) design values of bending moment (MEd) and shear force (VEd) as follows:
 at section AB: MEd,AB;
 at section A’ : ST: MEd,A’ and VEd,A’; RC: VEd,A’
b) frequent values of bending moment at section AB: Mfr,AB!
Consider only self-weight as permanent action, only traffic load as variable action, only gr1a and gr4 groups of traffic
loads!
