10 Bridge Deck Slab Main reinforcement parallel to traffic Distribution of wheel loads E=4+0.06S or ( S) maximum 7.0 ft (2.134m) HS20 (MS18) loading Span up to and including 50 ft (15.24 m) LLM = 900 S ft-lb (13.14 S kn-m) Span 50 ft to 100 ft (15.24 to m) LLM= 1000(1.30S-20.0) ft-lb 14.6(1.3 S-6.1) kn-m Bridge Engineering 10

11 Bridge Deck Slab. The above design method developed based on Westergaard theory, (Ref. below) Computation of Stresses in Bridge Slabs Due to Wheel Loads, Public Roads, March, 1930 Bridge Engineering 11

12 Bridge Deck Slab B) CSA-CAN3-S6-M78 CAN/CSA-S6-88 Similar to AASHTO Above methods very conservative Substantial strength enhancement Arching action developed in system C) CHBDC Limit States Design 1) Serviceability limit states i) deformations (8.13.1) ii) vibration (3.4.4) iii) control of cracking (8.12.3) Bridge Engineering 12

13 Bridge Deck Slab 1) Serviceability limit states i) deformations (8.13.1) Deflections and rotations occurring immediately upon the application of loads shall be determined by elastic methods using the value of E c at the time of loading and considering the effects of cracking and reinforcement. Bridge Engineering 13

14 Bridge Deck Slab 1) Serviceability limit states ii) vibration (3.4.4) Superstructures, other than for long span bridges, shall be proportioned so that the maximum deflection due to the factored traffic load, including the dynamic load allowance, does not exceed the limit given in Figure (A) for the anticipated degree of pedestrian use. The deflection limit state shall apply at the centre of the sidewalk or, if there is no sidewalk, at the inside face of the barrier. Bridge Engineering 14

15 Bridge Deck Slab An approved method shall be used to ensure that vibration likely to occur in normal use will not cause discomfort or concern to users of a pedestrian bridge. Bridge Engineering 15

17 Bridge Deck Slab 1) Serviceability limit states iii) control of cracking (8.12.3). Bridge Engineering 17

18 Bridge Deck Slab 2) Fatigue limit state, reinforcing bars ( ) Stress range in straight bars shall not exceed 125MPa Stress range at anchorages, connections and bends shall not exceed 65 MPa Tack welding of primary reinforcement shall not permitted Stress range in the vicinity of welds shall not exceed 100 MPa For other types of welded splices, the stress range shall not exceed 65 MPa Bridge Engineering 18

19 The ultimate limit state strength (or stability) All sections of the slab shall be proportioned to have factored resistance that are at least equal to the sum of the force effects of the factored loads. Besides satisfying equilibrium and compatibility, the following assumptions are considered i) strains in bars and concrete proportional to the distance from neutral axis ii) maximum usable strain at the extreme compression fiber is iii) Stress in steel, 1) E s times steel strain if stress is less than f y 2) f y if strain is more than yield strain Bridge Engineering 19

20 The ultimate limit state strength (or stability) iv) Concrete has negligible tensile strength in calculation of flexural and axial tensile resistance v) stress-strain distribution pattern is as follows Bridge Engineering 20

21 Bridge Engineering 21 The ultimate limit state strength (or stability) For reinforced concrete slabs, the factored resistance may be calculated by: Where, = Φ 2 a d f A M y s u b f f A a c y s ' α 1 = b f f A a f A ba f T C c y s y s c ' 1 ' 1 α α = = = s c Φ Φ =0.75 =0.90 Material resistance factors }

22 Methods of analysis Yield line method Westergaard theory Influence line Grillage analogy Orthotropic plate theory Folded plate method Finite element and finite strip method Bridge Engineering 22

23 Yield Line Method The principal is similar to that of the plastic design theory of steel frames Reflects the true behavior at ultimate limit state Especially for existing bridges It is a crack in a reinforced bridge, along which the reinforcement has yielded The section must be under-reinforced (as required by bridge design codes) Helps find Moments at the plane of failure Load at which the slab fails Gives an upper bound solution Bridge Engineering 23

24 Yield Line Method Characteristics: Yield lines are straight. Axes of rotation pass along lines of support Axes of rotation pass over columns. A yield line dividing two slab parts must pass through the point of intersection of the axes of rotation of the two parts. Yield lines must end at slab boundary Simple supports attract positive or sagging yield lines while continuous supports do the opposite. Equilibrium or virtual work method Bridge Engineering 24

25 Yield Line Method Virtual work method Upper bound Study many failure patterns Choose the pattern with highest moment or least load Energy dissipation at yield line External work by loads D( l, θ, M ) E( p, V ) θ Where, l is the length of yield line, is the rotation of the yield line and M is the moment of resistance per unit length. P represents the external load and V is the volume between the deflected surfaces and the original plane of the slab. Bridge Engineering 25

26 Yield Line Method Bridge Engineering 26

27 Yield Line Method W e ( P ) = pδdxdy = e i = ( mblθ ) ( P ) ( m lθ ) W = c b The virtual work gives an upper bound to the failure load P or lower bound to resistance moment M. So, try many patterns and select the lowest P or highest M. Reference: Wood, R.H. Plastic and Elastic Analysis of Slabs and Plates, Thames and Hudson, London, Bridge Engineering 27

28 Behavior of a restrained slab When subjected to a concentrated load, a restrained slab goes through these stages: 1) Development of fixed boundary action 2) Cracking 3) Development of compressive membrane action, if the slab is unreinforced, or superposition of the latter action and fixed action if the slab is reinforced 4) Failure Bridge Engineering 28

29 Behavior of a restrained slab Bridge Engineering 29

30 Behavior of a restrained slab Bridge Engineering 30

31 Empirical method - background Conventional design of deck slabs based on flexure and shear can be quite conservative And significant increase in strength is possible from internal arching action developed within the slab and the supporting beam system Consequently, it is possible to reduce the amount of reinforcement in such slabs quite considerably, without undermining the level of safety. Restraints at the edges of simply supported slabs increase their load bearing capacity Bridge Engineering 31

32 Empirical method - background Development of fixed boundary action and compressive membrane action are grouped and named as arching action. Arching action leads to increase in slab strength. This fact is reflected in CHBDC by suggesting minimal reinforcement in the deck slab, provided certain conditions are met. Bridge Engineering 32

33 Empirical method Conditions (CHBDC) Slab of uniform thickness, bounded by exterior supporting beams and: (a) Slab is composite with parallel supporting beams, for which the lines of support are also parallel (b) The ratio of the supporting beams spacing and thickness is less than The spacing of the supporting beams in calculating this ratio is taken parallel to the direction of the transverse reinforcement. Bridge Engineering 33

34 Empirical method - Criteria (c) Spacing of the supporting beams not to exceed 4.0 m. The slab extends beyond external beams wide enough for the development length of bottom transverse bars (d) Provide longitudinal rebars in the deck slab in the negative moment regions of continuous composite beams.
