1 County: Any Hwy: Any Design: BRG Date: 7/2010 SLAB DESIGN EXAMPLE Design example is in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 5th Ed. (2010) as prescribed by TxDOT Bridge Design Manual - LRFD (May 2009). Design: 8" Slab with standard reinforcing Type Tx40 Prestressed Precast Concrete Beams (36" top flange) 9'-0" Beam Spacing, 3'-0" Overhang with a T551 rail "AASHTO LRFD" refers to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification, 5th Ed. (2010) "BDM-LRFD" refers to the TxDOT Bridge Design Manual - LRFD (May 2009) "DM" refers to the TxDOT Bridge Detailing Manual (August 2001) "TxSP" refers to TxDOT guidance, recommendations, and standard practice. TYPICAL SECTION (DM, Ch. 5, Sect. 9, Typical Transverse Section Reinforcing) 8 in Slab thickness, 2 in top clear cover, 1.25 in bottom clear cover Bars A ~ # 6" Bars B ~ # 6" Bars T ~ # 9" Bars D ~ # 9" (BDM-LRFD, Ch. 3, Sect. 2, Geometric Constraints) (BDM-LRFD, Ch. 3, Sect. 2, Design Criteria) (DM, Ch. 5, Sect. 9, Typical Reinforcing) Deck Design (AASHTO LRFD 9.7.1) Use the Traditional Method in AASHTO LRFD to design the slab. (BDM-LRFD, Ch.3, Sect. 2, Design Criteria) Use approximate analysis method of AASHTO LRFD (AASHTO LRFD 9.6.1) For interior bays, use the unfactored live load moments in AASHTO LRFD Table A4-1. (AASHTO LRFD C ) For overhangs place one wheel load one foot from the rail. (AASHTO LRFD ) Check the Service Limit State and the Strength Limit State. (AASHTO LRFD & AASHTO LRFD 9.5.4) The Service Limit State is checked by the crack control limits. The live load deflection of the slab is satisfactory by inspection. The Strength Limit State is checked by checking the Ultimate Moment Capacity and the Minimum Steel Requirement (AASHTO LRFD ). Fatigue need not be checked for concrete decks. (AASHTO LRFD 9.5.3) The Extreme Event Limit State (AASHTO LRFD 9.5.5) is satisfied through rail crash testing. (BDM-LRFD, C. 3, Sect. 2, Design Criteria) Check the distribution reinforcement in the secondary direction. (AASHTO LRFD ) LRFD Slab Design Example 1 July 2010

2 Effective Strip Widths: The effective width of the strip is the width over which one axle of the design truck or tandem acts. To get the load per unit width, divide the live load by the effective strip width. (AASHTO LRFD C ) Alternately, the live load moments for the positive and negative regions in interior bays from AASHTO LRFD Table A4-1 can be used for design. (AASHTO LRFD C ) Therefore, we will use the live load moments from AASHTO LRFD Table A4-1 for the positive and negative regions in interior bays, and place one axle on the effective strip for the overhang. Depiction of Transverse Strip Widths Overhang Region: Primary Strip Width: In the equations for strip widths, the values for "X" and "S" are in feet but the strip width resulting from the equations is in inches. PrimaryStrip OH = X (AASHTO LRFD Table ) Edge Strip Width: AASHTO LRFD c defines a transverse edge as a transverse strip along the beam that is located at the edge of the slab as shown above. The Article states, "The effective width of a strip, with or without an edge beam, may be taken as the sum of the distance between the transverse edge of the deck and the centerline of the first line of support for the deck, usually taken as a girder web, plus one-half of the width of strip as specified in Article " The intention of this article is to take an effective strip width as half of the transverse strip width plus the additional slab width past the beam end. When the beams are parallel to traffic, the centerline of the first line of support for the deck is the line that intersects the ends of the beams at the center of the web. The additional slab width is the distance from the beam end to the center of the joint minus half of the joint width. This distance is negligible and therefore neglected in this design example.

(AASHTO LRFD ) To make the slab design independent of the type of rail, we will place the wheel load from the nominal face of the rail ( from the edge of the slab).

9 Check Overhang: Slab strength for rail impacts (AASHTO LRFD 9.5.5) has been verified through full scale crash testing. (BDM-LRFD, Ch. 3, Sect. 2, Design Criteria) To make the design independent of the rail type, don't design slabs using structurally continuous barriers. Therefore the provisions of AASHTO LRFD cannot be used. Live Load is composed of the axles of the design truck or tandem only; the lane load is not used to design the deck. (AASHTO LRFD ) Only one lane is loaded on the 3 ft overhang; lane spacing is 12 ft. (AASHTO LRFD ) Only one wheel load can act on the 3 ft overhang; the first wheel is 1 ft from the face of the rail (AASHTO LRFD ), and the wheel spacing is 6 ft. (AASHTO LRFD ) The thickness of the slab in the primary region (8 in) is the same as the thickness of the slab in the edge strip, therefore Slab ends are critical ~ Check the Edge Strip Only m 1.20 IM 33 Multiple Presence Factor (AASHTO LRFD Table ~ For one lane loaded) Impact Load Allowance (AASHTO LRFD Table ) Recall: b Width of a 1 ft strip (From Pg. 3) X 0ft Distance from load to point of support for Overhangs (From Pg. 3) DC: (Slab Dead Load & Rail Dead Load) ω Slab klf P Rail klf b P Rail kip Slab Load on a 1 ft strip (From Pg. 5) Rail Load on a 1 ft strip (T551) DW: (2.5" ACP overlay) ω DW klf DW Load on a 1 ft strip (From Pg. 5) LL + IM: PrimaryStrip OH = X (AASHTO LRFD Table ) PrimaryStrip OH 45 in 1 EdgeStrip OH 2 PrimaryStrip OH EdgeStrip OH 22.5 in In the equations for strip width, the values for "X" is in feet but the strip width resulting from the equation is in inches.
