Index ODOT Short Course Created July 2007 Review of Loads: Slide #9 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.3.2: Limit States Service: Deals with restrictions on stress, deformation, and crack width under regular service conditions. Intended to ensure that the bridge performs acceptably during its design life. Strength: Intended to ensure that strength and stability are provided to resist statistically significant load combinations that a bridge will experience during its design life. Extensive distress and structural damage may occur at strength limit state conditions, but overall structural integrity is expected to be maintained. Extreme Event: Intended to ensure structural survival of a bridge during an earthquake, vehicle collision, ice flow, or foundation scour. Fatigue: Deals with restrictions on stress range under regular service conditions reflecting the number of expected cycles.

20 Review of Loads and Analysis 3.5 Permanent Loads Dead Loads: DC and DW DC is the dead load of the structure and components present at construction. These have a lower load factor because they are known with more certainty. DW are future dead loads, such as future wearing surfaces. These have a higher load factor because they are known with less certainty. ODOT Short Course Created July 2007 Review of Loads: Slide # Live Loads : Lane Definitions # Design Lanes = INT(w/12.0 ft) w is the clear roadway width between barriers. Bridges 20 to 24 ft wide shall be designed for two traffic lanes, each ½ the roadway width. Examples: A 20 ft. wide bridge would be required to be designed as a two lane bridge with 10 ft. lanes. A 38 ft. wide bridge has 3 design lanes, each 12 ft. wide. A 16 ft. wide bridge has one design lane of 12 ft. Pg 3.16 ODOT Short Course Created July 2007 Review of Loads: Slide #

In this case, the front axle is ignored as it does not contribute to the maximum response.

The distance between rear axles is fixed at 14 ft. The distance between trucks is a minimum of 50 ft. This applies for negative moment between points of contraflexure and reactions at interior piers ODOT Short Course Created July 2007 Review of Loads: Slide #

25 Review of Loads and Analysis Live Loads : Application of Design Vehicular Live Loads In cases where the transverse position of the load must be considered: The design lanes are positioned to produce the extreme force effect. The design lane load is considered to be 10 ft. wide. The load is positioned to maximize the extreme force effect. The truck/tandem is positioned such that the center of any wheel load is not closer than: 1.0 ft. from the face of the curb/railing for design of the deck overhang. 2.0 ft. from the edge of the design lane for design of all other components.
