1.1 SCOPE
This calculation document covers the design of fixing arrangement of Bearing with the
super structure.

1.2 Units of Measurement

Units of measurement in design shall be SI system unless noted otherwis

 From the above table it is clear that thickness of the distribution plate has been proposed (and
approved) insuch a way that total thickness of Bearings including Distribution plate is same for
each bearing.

So it is proposed that we may use an additional plate of grade E250of size 650mm* 550 mm*
32 mm to be placed between the top distribution plate and the bottom chord.

The Additional plate proposed for fixing the OWG with bearimgs, will be welded to the
distribution plate (lying at bottom) on all sides and top of fixing plate willbe bolted with the
bottom chord with 8 bolts M-22 of 8.8 grade.
Max. vertical load (ULS) coming from the Girder = 743.00 M.T.

All Bearings have been designed for a load of

=7430 KN 743.00 M.T.

Permissible compressive stress in E250 structural

Steel 250 Mpa

Size of the Shoe Plate Length 650 mm

Width 550 mm

Bearing strength of the plate = 650*550*250 89375000 N

89375 KN

8937.5 M.T.
Bearing strength of the proposed plate is more the maximum load coming on
the supports/ Bearing i.e. 7430 KN. Hence Safe

So. use 650 mm* 550 mm * 32 mm plate between the top

distribution plate of bearing and the bottom Chord of Open Web
Girder.

There fore, the thickness of weld 20 mm

Total length of side weld 1100 mm

Total length of End weld 1300 mm

Design shear strength of fillet weld 187.37 Mpa

Strength of 20 mm thick, 1100 mm long side fillet weld 2885.498 KN

It is more than required capacity of 168.50 KN

Hence Okay
Strength of the end fillet weld will be the additional strength of the joint thus
providing more factor of safety.
