options and design considerations for steel bridges, presenting deck types such as concrete deck slabs, metal grid decks, orthotropic steel decks, wood decks, and several others. The choice of a particular
DESIGN OF BRIDGES Guide to basis of bridge design related to Eurocodes supplemented by practical examples LEONARDO DA VINCI PILOT PROJECT CZ/02/B/F/PP-134007 Edited by Luca SANPAOLESI & Pietro CROCE
Calculate the internal forces and moments according to Eurocode’s principles. By modelling the bridge deck (geometry and stiffness to represent its actual behaviour in the best way) And by applying the load cases. Section and member analysis. Stress limitations at ULS and SLS.
Description. This example shows how to carry out design of composite bridge deck members in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD 8th Ed. (2017) design code. The example uses a supplied model, initially created by the Steel Composite Bridge Wizard, that also includes staged construction modelling and vehicle loading in preparation for a design check ...
This report is part of the so-called Technical documents (Type 2 above) and contains a comprehensive description of the practical examples presented at the workshop “Bridge Design to the Eurocodes” with emphasis on worked examples of bridge design.
The global analysis and design of a simple two span continuous bridge is to be carried out using the Steel and Composite Deck Designer (PontiEC4) and LUSAS Bridge. The primary aim of this particular example is to show the LUSAS model building requirements to allow a design check with PontiEC4 to be carried out.
This chapter provides a general description of the various concrete deck types, a discussion of the basic structural behavior of concrete decks, and an overview of major design and detailing considerations. Finally, a design example for a reinforced concrete bridge deck is provided.
