1 LRFD Cast-In-Place (CIP) Slab Span Design Example County: Any Hwy: Any Design: BRG Date: 12/2006 CSJ: Any Project: Any Checked: BRG Date: 12/2006 Design Parameters The basic bridge geometry can be found on the Bridge Layout and 75' Slab Span Details (see the Appendix, Pages 21 and 22). Deck is 46 ft wide with a 15 degree skew Roadway is 44 ft wide Type T501 Rail (0.326k/ft) 14" Thick Slab Span Assume NO 140 pcf (0.023 ksf) Use Class "S" Concrete f' c =4.0 ksi w c =150 pcf (for weight) w c =145 pcf (for Modulus of Elasticity calculation) Grade 60 Reinforcing f y =60 ksi Methodology The following procedure is based on the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 3rd Ed. 2004, 2005 Interim Revisions, and 2006 Interim Revisions and the TXDOT LRFD Bridge Design Manual (hereafter refered to as TXDOT policy). Calculations Determine the Equivalent Strip Width, E (LRFD ) The equivalent strip width defines the width of the slab that will be impacted by the live load within a design lane. The slab is designed based on the forces developed within this width. L = span length (ft) L 1 = the minimum of L or 60 ft. (ft) W = edge to edge width (ft) W s = the modified edge to edge width taken as a minimum of W or 30 ft (ft) for a single loaded lane W m = the modified edge to edge width taken as a minimum of W or 60 ft (ft) for multiple loaded lanes L = 25 ft L 1 = min( L, 60 ft) L 1 = ft W = W s W m 46 ft = min( W, 30 ft) W s = ft = min( W, 60 ft) W m = ft page 1

2 N = number of lanes, the interger part of W Rdwy /12 ( ) W rdwy = Clear roadway width W rdwy = 44 ft N L 1 W rdwy ft = trunc N 12 L = The trun function truncates the calculated value to a single interger (ie would be 3). E s = equivalent strip width for single loaded lane (in) E s = ( ) in 10.0 in + 5 L 1 W s ft LRFD eq E s = in E s = ft E m = equivalent strip width for multiple loaded lanes (in) E m1 ( ) in = 84.0 in L 1 W m E ft m1 = in LRFD eq in 12.0 W m ft E m2 = E N m2 = in L E m ( ) LRFD eq = min E m1, E m2 E m = in E m = ft Skew For skewed bridges, the longitudinal force effects may be reduced by the factor r, where skew = 15.deg Note: TXDOT policy limits the skew on CIP Slab Spans to 30 degrees. r 1 = tan( skew) r 1 = LRFD eq r shall not be greater than 1 ( ) r = min r 1, 1 r = This factor is applied to the moments developed in the following sections. page 2

3 Determine the Design Loads (Live and Dead) The live load is comprised of the design lane load (0.640 k/ft) and the design wheel loads. The dead load is comprised of the rail and slab weights, as well as any sidewalks or overlay (where applicable). The slab is modelled as a simply supported continuous beam. Dead Load (DL) Rail: Rail Load (RL) is distributed across the slab by the following TxDOT policy. If the slab is width is less than 32 feet, the rail weight is distributed over the entire width of the slab. Otherwise, the rail is distributed over the first 16 feet of slab adjacent to the rail. W r = weight of the rail (kip/ft) DL rail = the distibuted rail load on the slab (kip/ft/ft) W r = kip ft W r 2 W r DL rail = if W < 32 ft,, DL W 16 ft rail = kip ft 2 Slab: W c = weight of concrete (kcf) t = thickness of the slab (inches) DL slab = weight of the slab (kip/ft/ft) W c = kip ft 3 t = 14 in t DL slab = W c 12 in DL slab = kip ft 2 ft Total DL: DL = DL rail + DL slab DL = kip ft 2 Live Load LRFD The slab is designed based on 1-foot strips, therefore the live load most be distributed to these strips. To obtained a live load per foot divide the lane load and truck loads by the effective width. LL lane = distributed lane load = k/ft ( ) LL t8 and LL t32 = design truck load, 8 k and 32 k, respectively ( ) I = impact factor LL lane = kip ft LL t8 = 8 kip LL t32 = I = kip page 3

Due to the nature of the program the moment is determined by first modelling the dead load only and then the live load only. The maximum moment from each analysis is then combined using Tables and of the AASHTO LRFD. BMCOL51 Model page 4

The negative reinforcement can usually be reduced to #8 bars at 12 inches about 6 feet from the centerline of the bent. However, this shoud be verified by checking the moment capacity of 1 bar versus the moment at 6 feet from the centerline of the cap. For this example problem, 1 bar will provide kip-ft of M r_neg with a M u_neg of kip-ft. In addition, the max. bar spacing is in excess of 12 inches. page 8

12 Design for the Edge Beam The edge for the slab is designed based on LRFD and The design width (W edge ) of the longitudinal edge is the sum of the distance between the edge of the deck and the inside face of the barrier (C) plus 12 inches plus 1/4E, not to exceed 1/2E or 72 inches. C = 17 in Type T501 Rail, bottom width is 17 inches E m = ft ( ) 0.5 E m W edge = min C + 12 in E m,, 72 in W edge = ft Determine the Design Loads (Live and Dead) The live load is comprised of the design lane load (0.640 k/ft) and the design wheel loads. The dead load is comprised of the rail and slab weights, as well as any sidewalks or overlay (if applicable). The slab is modelled as a simply supported continuous beam. Dead Load Same as calculated on page 2. DL rail = kip ft 2 DL slab = kip ft 2 page 12

13 Live Load LRFD The slab is designed based on 1-foot strips, therefore the live load must be distributed to these strips. To obtained a live load per foot divide the lane load and truck loads by the effective width. LL lane = distributed lane load = k/ft ( ) LL t4 and LL t16 = design truck load, 4 k and 16 k, respectively ( ). The truck load is half the load because the edge width only accommodates half the truck. I = impact factor LL lane = ft kip ft 2 LL t4 = 4 kip LL t16 = 16 kip I = LL edge = lane load over W edge LL t4_edge = 4 k load over W edge LL t16_edge = 16 k load over W edge W edge LL lane 12 LL edge = LL W edge = ft kip edge ft 2 ILL t4 LL t4_edge = LL W t4_edge = kip edge ft LL t16_edge ILL t16 = LL W t16_edge = kip edge ft Determine the Design Moment The design moment is determined using BMCOL51 (Moveable Load Analysis of Beam Columns). Due to the nature of the program the moment is determined by first modelling the dead load only and then the live load only. The maximum moment from each analysis is then combined using Tables and of the AASHTO LRFD. The input and resultant output files for single lane loaded and multiple lanes loaded are included in the Appendix.
