Book Influence of Skewness on Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridges

Download or read book Influence of Skewness on Reinforced Concrete Slab Bridges written by Carol Shukri Menassa and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis investigates the effect of skewness on reinforced concrete solid slab bridges. This study considers bridge decks with various angles of skewness, and live load distribution from truck loading on the solid slab is determined. Simple multi-lane bridges are analyzed for a variety of span lengths and slab widths. The loading consists of AASHTO HS-20 design truck, which is so positioned laterally and longitudinally to produce maximum moments in the slab. The analysis is performed using the finite element method and a proper mesh is selected to account for the skewness of the bridge slab. Finally, the behavior of the bridges analyzed is assessed with design procedure currently in use. The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), "Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges, 1996". Also, a comparison between straight and skewed bridges is conducted.

Book Development of Design Criteria for Simply Supported Skew Slab and girder Bridges

Download or read book Development of Design Criteria for Simply Supported Skew Slab and girder Bridges written by Hendrik Jacobus Marx and published by . This book was released on 1986 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Elastic analyses, using the finite element method, were done on 108 single span skew slab-and-girder bridges. Each structure had 5 girders and stiffnesses were representative of bridges with pretensioned I-girders or steel I-beam. Spans ranged from 40 to 80 ft, girder spacings from 6 to 9 ft, and the skew angle from zero to 60 degrees. The loadings were multiple point loads representing two HS20 AASHTO vehicles, and the loads were positioned to produce maximum bending moments in the girders. Convergence studies to evaluate the precision of the finite element models were also done, and comparisons were made with the results of other studies. An extensive parametric study was done to determine the most important variables and to gain an understanding of the response of the skew bridge. Expressions for the design moments in interior and exterior girders were then developed. These take into account the span and spacing of girders, the stiffness of the girders relative to the slab stiffness, and the angle of skew. The format is the use of the static moment for a girder, with modifications to this moment based on girder span and spacing, slab to girder stiffness ratio, and skew angle. A similar study was done to obtain factors for the calculation of deflections, starting with the deflection of a simple beam.

Book Effect of Skewness on Steel Girder Highway Bridges

Download or read book Effect of Skewness on Steel Girder Highway Bridges written by Firas Nazih Bou Diab and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The current thesis presents the finite element results of a parametric study to accurately evaluate the effect of skewness on wheel load distribution in steel g irder highway bridges. The finite element method is used to investigate the effect of span length, girder spacing, and skewness, on one-span simply supported, two-lane, th reelane, and four-lane steel girder bridges. Five span lengths and three girder spacings are examined in combination with six skew angles, for a total of 270 bridges analyze d and reported in the study. Various positions of the design trucks are assumed, longi tudinally and transversally, in order to produce maximum bending moments. The finite eleme nt modeling consists of shells and frames, for concrete slab and steel girders, res pectively, and composite action between slab and girders is assumed. The finite element pro gram SAP2000 is used in the analysis, and the longitudinal bending moments are comput ed and corresponding wheel load distribution factors on the girders are reported an d discussed for various skew angles. The finite element analysis results for skewe d bridges are compared to the reference straight bridges as well as to the America n Association for State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standard Specifications and LRFD procedures. This study will assist bridge engineers in performing realistic analysis and design of simply supported, multi-lane, skewed steel girder bridges as well as evaluate the load carrying capacity of existing struct ures.
