3 SUPERSTRUCTURE DESIGN About this Design Example Description This document provides guidance for the design of a precast, prestressed beam bridge utilizing the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. The example includes the following component designs: Traditional deck design Prestressed beam design Composite Neoprene bearing pad design Multi-column pier design End bent design The following assumptions have been incorporated in the example: Two simple 90'-0" each, 0 degree skew. Minor horizontal curvature Multi-column pier on prestressed concrete piles. No phased construction. Two traffic railing barriers and one median barrier. No sidewalks. Permit vehicles are not considered. Design for jacking is not considered. Load rating is not addressed. No utilities on the bridge. For purposes of wind load calculation, the bridge is located in an area with a basic wind speed of 150 mph. Since this example is presented in a Mathcad document, a user can alter assumptions, constants, or equations to create a customized application. PROJECT INFORMATION 1.01 About this Design Example 1

7 A. General Criteria This section provides the general layout and input parameters for the bridge example. A1. Bridge Geometry Horizontal Profile A slight horizontal curvature is shown in the plan view. This curvature is used to illustrate centrifugal forces in the substructure design. For all other component designs, the horizontal curvature will be taken as zero. PROJECT INFORMATION 1.03 Design Parameters 5

10 A. Number of Lanes Design Lanes [LRFD ] Current lane configurations show two striped lanes per roadway with a traffic median barrier separating the roadways. Using the roadway clear width between barriers, Rdwy width, the number of design traffic lanes per roadway, N lanes, can be calculated as: Roadway clear width... Rdwy width 4ft Number of design traffic lanes Rdwy width per roadway... N lanes floor 3 1ft Substructure Design In order to maximize the design loads of the substructure components, e.g. pier cap negative moment, pier columns, footing loads, etc., HL-93 vehicle loads were placed on the deck. In some cases, the placement of the loads ignored the location of the median traffic barrier. This assumption is considered to be conservative. Braking forces The bridge is NOT expected to become one-directional in the future. Future widening is expected to occur to the outside if additional capacity is needed. Therefore, for braking force calculations, N lanes 3. The designer utilized engineering judgement to ignore the location of the median barrier for live load placement for the substructure design and NOT ignore the median barrier for braking forces. The designer feels that the probability exists that the combination of lanes loaded on either side of the median barrier exists. However, this same approach was not used for the braking forces since these loaded lanes at either side of the median traffic barrier will NOT be braking in the same direction. A3.

11 B. LRFD Criteria The bridge components are designed in accordance with the following LRFD design criteria: B1. Dynamic Load Allowance [LRFD 3.6.] An impact factor will be applied to the static load of the design truck or tandem, except for centrifugal and braking forces. Impact factor for fatigue and 15 fracture limit states... IM fatigue Impact factor for all other limit 33 states... IM B. Resistance Factors [LRFD ] Flexure and tension of reinforced concrete... ϕ 0.9 Flexure and tension of prestressed concrete... ϕ' 1.00 Shear and torsion of normal weight concrete... ϕ v 0.90 B3. Limit States [LRFD 1.3.] The LRFD defines a limit state as a condition beyond which the bridge or component ceases to satisfy the provisions for which it was designed. There are four limit states prescribed by LRFD. These are as follows: STRENGTH LIMIT STATES Load combinations which ensure that strength and stability, both local and global, are provided to resist the specified statistically significant load combinations that a bridge is expected to experience in its design life. Extensive distress and structural damage may occur under strength limit state, but overall structural integrity is expected to be maintained. EXTREME EVENT LIMIT STATES Load combinations which ensure the structural survival of a bridge during a major earthquake or flood, or when collided by a vessel, vehicle, or ice flow, possibly under scoured conditions. Extreme event limit states are considered to be unique occurrences whose return period may be significantly greater than the design life of the bridge. SERVICE LIMIT STATES Load combinations which place restrictions on stress, deformation, and crack width under regular service conditions. FATIGUE LIMIT STATES Load combinations which place restrictions on stress range as a result of a single design truck occurring at the number of expected stress range cycles. It is intended to limit crack growth under repetitive loads to prevent fracture during the design life of the bridge. PROJECT INFORMATION 1.03 Design Parameters 9

The deflection limit is span/800 for vehicular load and span/300 on cantilever arms. Environmental Classifications [SDG 1.3] The environment can be classified as either "Slightly", "Moderately" or "Extremely" aggressive. Per 1.0 General Notes: Environmental classification for superstructure... Environment super "Slightly" Environmental classification for substructure...

A minimum area of steel of 0.40 in per foot should be provided in the top of the deck slab at the median barrier, and 0.80 in per foot should be provided at the F-shape barrier.
