Federal Highway Administration Chicago, IL Evolution of Design Methodologies SLD Methodology: (f t ) D + (f t ) L 0.55F y, or 1.82(f t ) D (f t ) L F y LFD Methodology: 1.3[1.0(f t ) D + 5/3(f t ) L ] φf y, or 1.3(f t ) D (f t ) L φf y LRFD Methodology: 1.25(f t ) D (f t ) L φf y (φ by judgment) (φ by calibration) (new live-load model) Introduction to LRFD 1-1

2 Evolution of Design Methodologies (cont d) SLD does not recognize that some types of loads are more variable than others. LFD provides recognition that types of loads are different. LRFD provides a probability-based mechanism to select load & resistance factors. Evolution of Design Methodologies (cont d) As a result, LRFD achieves considerable improvement in the clustering of reliability indices versus the AASHTO Standard Specifications.

Introduction to LRFD 1-17

18 M, Exterior Girder - (cont d) Special Analysis: for beam-slab bridges with diaphragms or cross frames Assuming the entire cross-section rotates as a rigid body about the longitudinal centerline of the bridge, distribution factors for one, two and three lanes loaded are computed using the following formula: R = L b X + L ext b 2 x e Eq.

(C d-1) R L e x X ext b = reaction on exterior beam in terms of lanes = number of loaded lanes under consideration = eccentricity of a lane from the center of gravity of the pattern of girders (ft) = horizontal distance from the center of gravity of the pattern of girders to each girder (ft) = horizontal distance from the center of gravity of the pattern of girders to the exterior girder (ft) = number of beams or girders Introduction to LRFD 1-18

21 V, Exterior Girder - (cont d) Special Analysis: The factors used for bending moment are also used for shear: One lane loaded: lanes Two lanes loaded: Three lanes loaded: lanes (governs) lanes All factors used for both pos. & neg. flexure. SUMMARY Live-Load Distribution Factors Strength Limit State AASHTO LRFD - Positive Flexure: Interior Girder Exterior Girder Bending Moment lanes lanes Shear lanes lanes AASHTO LRFD - egative Flexure: Interior Girder Exterior Girder Bending Moment lanes lanes Shear lanes lanes Introduction to LRFD 1-21

22 Fatigue Limit State The fatigue load is placed in a single lane. Therefore, the distribution factors for onelane loaded are used. (see Article b) Multiple presence factors are not to be applied for fatigue. Thus, the distribution factors for one-lane loaded must be modified by dividing out the multiple presence factor of 1.2 specified for one-lane loaded. (see Article ) SUMMARY Live-Load Distribution Factors Fatigue Limit State - Design Example AASHTO LRFD - Positive Flexure: Interior Girder Exterior Girder Bending Moment lanes lanes Shear lanes lanes AASHTO LRFD - egative Flexure: Interior Girder Exterior Girder Bending Moment lanes lanes Shear lanes lanes Introduction to LRFD 1-22

23 Skew Correction Factors For bending moment (Article e): The skew correction factor for bending moment reduces the live-load distribution factor. For skew angles less than 30, the correction factor is equal to 1.0. For skew angles greater than 60, the correction factor is computed using an angle of 60. The difference in skew angle between two adjacent lines of supports cannot exceed 10. Dead-load moments are currently not modified for the effects of skew. c 1 K = 0.25 Lt g 3 s 0.25 S L 0.5 Correction factor= 1 c 1 ( tanθ) 1. 5 (Table e-1) Live-Load Distribution Factors Skew Correction Factors (cont.) For shear (Article c): The skew correction factor increases the live-load distribution factor for shear in the exterior girder at the obtuse corner of the bridge. The correction factor is valid for skew angles less than or equal to 60. The factor may be conservatively applied to all end shears. Dead-load shears are currently not modified for the effects of skew. 3 Lt Correction factor = s tanθ Kg (Table c-1) 0.3 Introduction to LRFD 1-23

24 Load for Optional Live-Load Deflection Evaluation (Article ) The larger of: - The design truck, or - 25% of the design truck + 100% of the design lane load. Live-Load Deflection (Article ) Use the SERVICE I load combination & multiple presence factors where appropriate. For straight-girder systems, all lanes should be loaded and all supporting components should be assumed to deflect equally. For composite design, the stiffness used for calculation of the deflection should include the entire width of the roadway, and may include the structurally continuous portions of the railings, sidewalks and barriers. Introduction to LRFD 1-24

25 Distribution Factor for Live-Load Deflection For the design example: L DF = m3 b 3 = 0.85 = lanes 4 umber of Loaded Lanes Multiple Presence Factors "m" > Dynamic Load Allowance (Impact - IM) (Article ) IM = 33% (for truck or tandem only; not for lane). Exceptions are: Deck joints: IM = 75% Fatigue limit state: IM = 15% Introduction to LRFD 1-25
