a) Design Loads
The factored loads in the above tables are the design loads and the structure shall be designed to carry the expected design l
above.
b) Effective Compression Flange Width, beff, ( AASHTO Art. [Link])
Exterior Girder
The total width of slab effective as T-girder flange shall not exceed one-fourth of the span length of the girder. The efffective fla
width overhanging on either side shall not exceed six times the thickness of the slab or one half the clear distance to the next
Therefore, the effective compression flange width, beff, is the minimum of the following:
a. 1/4 span = 5.13
b. 2*6hf+bw = 2.81
c. bw+2*1/2(clear spacing b/n webs ) = 2.14
bw+(Ext. cantilever + 1/2*clear spacing b/n girders) = 2.32
Effective compression flange width, beff = 2.14
Interior Girder
The effective compression flange width, beff, is the minimum of the following:
a. 1/4 span = 5.13
b. 2*6hf+bw = 2.81
c. bw+2*1/2(clear spacing b/n webs ) = 2.14
Effective compression flange width, beff = 2.14
Use compression flange width, beff = 2.14
For rectangular beam analysis (a < hf), use the following formulas:
r= As/bd
a = As*fy/(0.85*fc'*b)
ØMn =Ø*As*fy*(d-a/2)
For T-beam analysis (a > hf ), use the following formulas:
r= As/bd
a = As*fy/(0.85*fc'*b)
The steel area, Asf, required to balance the longitudinal compression force in the overhang
Asf = 0.85*fc'*(b-bw)*hf/fy
The resisting moment provided by the force Asf*fy
M1 =Asf*fy*(d - hf/2)
The remaining steel area (As-Asf), at a stress fy, is balanced by the compression in the rectangular portion of the beam.
The depth of the equivalent rectangular stress block in the zone is found from the horizontal equilibruim
a = (As - Asf)*fy/(0.85*fc'*bw)
An additional resisting moment, M2, is thus provided by the force (As - Asf)*fy and 0.85*fc'a*bw at lever arm of (d-a/2)
M2 =(As - Asf)*fy*(d-a/2)
The total resisting moment, Mu, is the sum of M1 amd M2
Mu = M1 + M1
ØMu = Ø ( M1 + M2 )
Assume rectangular beam analysis
r= As/bd = 0.00
a = As*fy/(0.85*fc'*b) 123.80 mm
It is rectangular beam as assumed
ØMn =Ø*As*fy*(d-a/2) 5645.27 KNm
If it is T-beam
j = 6 - 6(hf/d)+2(hf/d)2 - (hf/d)3/(2pn) = 0.930
6 - 3 (hf/d)
The minimum stress, fmin, is :
fmin = MDL/(As*j*d) = 116.52 N/mm2
The maximim stress, fmax, is caused by the total load ( MDL+LL+IM )
fmax = (MDL+LL+IM) /(As*j*d) = 233.81 N/mm2
The actual stress range, delta ff, is:
Delta ff = fmax - fmin = 117.29 N/mm2
The fatigue stress limit, ff, is
ff = 145 - 0.33* fmin + 55 (r/h) = 123.047921078909 N/mm2 >>
OK !!
Control of Cracking by Distribution of Reinforcement (Sec. 9.4.5)
To control flexural cracking of the concrete, tension reinforcement shall be well distributed within maximum flexural zones.
Components shall be so proportioned that the tensile stress in the steel reinforcement at service limit state, fs, does not excee
fs = Z / (dc*A)1/3 < = 0.6*fy
A = Effective tension area/ No. of bars=bw*(2y')/N = 0.01 m2
dc = distance measured from extreme tension fiber to center
of the closest bar = 0.07 m
Z = crack width parameter, assumed = 30.00 KN/mm
There fore, for crack control the maximum allowable stress is
fsa = Z / (dc*A)1/3 = 321.02 N/mm2
The maximim stress, fmax, at service load is
fmax = (MDL+MLL+IM) /(As*j*d) = 233.812328869132 N/mm2 <<
OK
h) Bar Cutting
Development of Reinforcement (Sec. 9.4.3)
Positive moment reinforcement: Atleast one-third of the positive moment reinforcement in simple span members sha
the same face of the member beyond the centerline of the support.
