4 Determine Cap Dimensions Ledge Width (Con't) The Ledge Width must be adequate for Bar M to develop fully. 26" is typically used for TX54 girders, as it is adequate to develop a # 6 bar with the typical 2.5" cover. If the cover is increased to 3", allowing for a modification factor of 0.7, a 24" Ledge is adequate to develop a # 7 bar. I-Beams have 9.5" from the face of the cap to the CL of Bearing. The typical ledge width for these bridges is 23". "L dh,prov " must be greater than or equal to "L dh,req " for bar M. cover 2.5in "cover" is measured from the center of the transverse bars. L 8in Determine the Required Development Length of Bar M: "L" is the length of the Bearing Pad along the girder. A typical type TX54 bearing pad is 8"x21" as shown in the IGEB standard. Try # 6 Bar for Bar M. d bar_m 0.750in A bar_m 0.44in 2 Basic Development Length L dh = 38.0d bar_m L dh 15.02in (AASHTO LRFD Eq ) f c Modification Factors for L dh: (AASHTO LRFD ) Is Top Cover greater than or equal to 2.5", and Side Cover greater than or equal to 2"?

The dimension "cover" is measured from the center of Bar M. No, Factor = 1.0 LRFD Inverted Tee Bent Cap Design Example 4 June 2010

Length of Cap TxDOT policy is as follows, "The edge distance between the exterior bearing pad and the end of the inverted T-beam shall not be less than 12in." (BDM-LRFD, Ch. 4, Sect. 5, Design Criteria) replacing the statement in AASHTO LRFD stating it shall not be less than d f. Preferably, the stem should extend at least 3" beyond the edge of the bearing seat.

TxDOT does not consider frame action for typical multi-column bents. (BDM-LRFD, Ch. 4, Sect. 5, Structural Analysis) Cap 18 Model Station = 0.5' The circled numbers are the stations that will be used in the CAP 18 input file.

For maximum reaction at interior bents, "Design Truck" will always govern over "Design Tandem". For the maximum reaction when the long span is more than twice as long as the short span, place the rear (32 kip) axle over the support and the middle (32 kip) and front (8 kip) axles on the long span. For the maximum reaction when the long span is less than twice as long as the short span, place the middle (32 kip) axle over the support, the front (8 kip) axle on the short span and the rear (32 kip) axle on the long span. Combine "Design Truck" and "Design Lane" loadings. (AASHTO LRFD ) Dynamic load allowance, IM, does not apply to "Design Lane." (AASHTO LRFD ) The Live Load is applied to the slab by two 16 kip wheel loads increased by the dynamic load allowance with the remainder of the live load distributed over a 10 ft (AASHTO LRFD ) design lane width. (TxSP) The Live Load applied to the slab is distributed to the beams assuming the slab is hinged at each beam except the outside beam.

No. of Lanes Factor "m" >3 (Con't) Limit States (AASHTO LRFD 3.4.1) The cap design need only consider Strength I Live Load and Dynamic Load Allowance LL + IM = 1.75 Dead Load Components DC = 1.25 Strength I, Service I, and Service I with DL. (TxSP) Dead Load Wearing Surface (Overlay) Service I Live Load and Dynamic Load Allowance DW = 1.50 LL + IM = 1.00 TxDOT allows the Overlay Factor to be reduced to 1.25 (TxSP), since overlay is typically used in design only to increase the safety factor, but in this example we will use DW = Dead Load and Wearing Surface DC & DW = 1.00 Dead Load TxDOT considers Service level Dead Load only with a limit reinforcement stress of 22 ksi to minimize cracking.

(AASHTO LRFD ) Dynamic load allowance, "IM", does not apply to "Design Lane." (AASHTO LRFD ) The Live Load Reactions are assumed to be the Shear Live Load Distribution Factor multiplied by the Live Load Reaction per Lane. The Shear Live Load Distribution Factor was calculated using the "LRFD Live Load Distribution Factors" Spreadsheet found in the Appendices. The Exterior Girders must have a Live Load Distribution Factor equal to or greater than the Interior Girders. This is to accommodate a possible future bridge widening. Widening the bridge would cause the exterior girders to become interior girders.

The loads are applied to the cap as depicted in the following picture: a v 12in "a v " is the value for the distance from the face of the stem to the center of bearing for the girders. 12" is the typical value for TxGirders on Inverted Tee Bents (IGEB). 9" is the typical value for I-Beams (IBEB).
