CHAPTER 1 ROLLING LOADS 1,1__INTRODUCTION In Civil Engineering structures, loads can change their positions. In such a case, certain load positions can be critical to certain parts or components of the structure. Shifting of load positions is common enough in buildings. But they are more pronounced in bridges, over which vehicles keep rolling. Certain wheel positions can be again crucial. We should be able to iden- tify such positions and their influence on structural members. In this chapter we will consider beams and try to evolve criteria for load positions causing maximum bending moments or maximum shears. 12 SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAMS 1.2.1 Load Categories ‘We can consider 5 categories of loads on beams : 1. Single concentrated loads. 2. udl longer than the beam span. 3. udl shorter than the beam span 4, two wheel axles separated by a distance 5. multiple wheel axles (train of loads). 1.2.2 Simply Supported Beam with a Single Concentrated Load W Moving From the Left End to the Right As aload W moves from the left support A to the right we will try to get the maximum positive shear force, maximum negative shear force and the maximum bending moment at any typical section X, at a distance x from A. We will call the distance of the load from A asa. (see Fig. 1,1). (a) Maximum positive shear at X For any load position (for any a), r (when a x (when W is on XB), SF at X is equal to R, and is positive.)

The train wheels if they are close enough can be treated as transmitting a udl to the bridge girder, Again we will consider the load front to be at a variable distance ‘a’ from the L.H. sup- port A, Let us conaider a typical section X, ata distance x from A.

Beams with a moving udl shorter than the span This situation occurs in long span railway bridges. This would give rise to more number of load positions than in the Jong udl case, Let us assumea udl of intensity w and length. The load head His at a distance ‘a’ from the left end A of the span. Let us consider the shears and bending moments at a typical section X, distance x from A.

They may also be combination of distributed and concentrated londs. Such loadings involve tedious computa- tions to determine the required stress components. A given system of loading crossing a girder/ structure can always be replaced by a. uniformly distributed load, longer than the span, such that the bending moment or S.F. due to this static load, every where, is at least equal to that caused by the actual system of moving loads, Such a static load is known as equivalent uni- formly distributed load. This practice is often adopted in the specifications for railway loads in order to simplify analytical computations. ‘The EUDL is derived by equating the maximum bending moment (or) shear force due to actual loading to the bending moment (or) shear force in the same span due to a fictitious udl covering the entire span, The EUDL may be different for bending moment and shear force for the same span, and depends upon the span and the disposition of actual loading. ‘The bending moment diagram for EUDL will be a parabola and this must completely envelope the maximum bending moment diagram due to the given moving load. ‘The EUDL for bending moment will be denoted by w,,, and for shear force will be de- noted by w,- Generally, the EUDL of bending moment will be obtained by equating the Musa due to the given lond system and the max.

Spans With Multiple Wheel Loads This loading case of multiple wheel loads is very common in road and rail bridges. We can not adopt the same procedure as we did for 2 concentrated loads for the simple reason that it is arduous. To make things tractable, we have to evolve some guide lines. (a) Bending moments Guide line 1. The maximum bending moment will occur under one of the wheel loads and not between loads. This is obvious from Fig. 1.30, which can be extended to more than 2 concentrated loads. Guide line 2. When a train of wheel loads move on a S.S. span the maximum bending moment occurs under a load when the mid span section divides the distance betwecn that load and the resultant of the load train equally. (vide Fig. 1.38) ‘The meaning of the statement is as under. If R is the resultant of the n loads on span AB, maximum bending moment will occur under W, when mid section € is right in the middle of resultant R and lond W,. R R Ra Fig. 138 Proof: Let R, be the resultant of loads to the right of R Let R, be the resultant of loads to the left of R aandé aredistance of R, and R, from R. Cis the distance of X the location of the critical load W, from R. xis the distance of W, from mid span C.

So guideline 2 has been proved valid. But we still have a problem. How to decide which load is critical ? That takes us to guide line 3. Guide line 3. The critical load, when moved from left of a beam section to the right, can change the average intensity on left side (compared to the average intensity on right side) from a higher value to lower value. We need a numerical example to explain this point. Fig. 139 When W, is to the left of X. 40 tuys average load on AK = 42*502 20-440 99 iim +20 w, = average load on XB = 42*22 . 19 N/m ; w,>w, Let us now move the train to the right so that W, moves to the right of X. (shown dotted on Fig. 1.39) ‘After shifting aye O28 Skin 4 vo, = 2240420 67 evn Now w, is smaller than w, Shifting W, to the right of X has done the trick. It has changed, w, from the higher (than w,) to lower (than w,) value. So, W, is the critical load, Now we can use guide line 2 to fix the position of X, where the bending moment is highest in the span. (8) Shear forces For a load train like in Fig, 1.39 to cause the maximum positive shear at X, we would expect all the loads to be right of X, the last load just to the right of X. Then R, is the shear at X (Fig. 1.40(a)). 32 STRUGTURAL ANALYSIS-I We Ws We Ww, rN x B (b) Fig. 1.40 Let us try moving the train left of X. There will be 2 effects. (i) The shear F, drops by W, (i) The reaction R, increases. This continues till W, comes just to the right of X. By now the train has moved through a distance d. The change (increase) in F, is a AF, =AR,-Wy=R.5-Wy where R is the resultant. If4F, works out to be positive, then our move (to the left) is right and W,, is the critical load. We may have to continue this to check on W,. But usually A is the candidate for maximum F, and W, shall be at A, just to its right. For maximum negative shear F, at X, try Fig, 1.40(b), with W, just to the left of x. The trial movements shall be to the right.

INTRODUCTION Ifyou are working in a design office analyzing and designing bridge girders for rolling wheel loads, your life will be made much easier if you use the concept of influence lines, Influ- ence lines are graphs drawn with the structure axis as X axis and taking on the Y axis any desired force quantity like reaction, thrust, internal shear, support moment, internal bending moment, ete. You can also think of influence lines for displacements (including slope) though these are rarely used. In an influence line diagram the ordinates show the BM, shear, reaction, etc., at a chosen point in the structure say P and the abscissa (x co-ordinate) represents the point X on the structure where we keep a unit load. Thus, in an influence line diagram for bending moment at P, y the ordinate at X is the bending moment at P due to a unit load at X. It shows the influence of a unit load at any x on the bending moment at P (or shear at P ar any force quantity at P), 2.2 DEFINITION AND ILLUSTRATIONS ‘An influence line is a graph showing, for any given beam, frame or truss, the variation of any force or displacement quantity (such as shear force, bending moment, tension, deflec- tion) for all positions of a moving unit load as it erosses the structure from one end to the other. For statically determinate structures the ILD for force quantities are made up of dis- placed configurations of the underformed parts of the structure. For example in Fig. 2.1, (6) is the LL for R,. (c) is the IL for bending moment at P. (d) is the IL for Ry. 1 32 P A FE B (@) vi 1 —_ TE Yo 1 2 O) % — 3 © —_—_——— @ Fig. 2.1 INFLUENCE LINES 49 Influence lines are very useful in quickly determining the force component at any given point due to set of moving loads. Thus in Fig. 2.1 (6), y, is the reaction at A due toa unit load at 1. y, is the reaction at A due toa unit load at 2. And (W,y, +W,y,) is the reaction at A due to loads W, at 1 and W, at 2.
