What is a Bridge?•Bridge is a structure which covers a gap

•Generally bridges carry a road or railway across a natural or artificial obstacle such

as, a river, canal or another railway or another road

•Bridge is a structure corresponding to the heaviest responsibility in carrying a free

flow of transport and is the most significant component of a transportation system

in case of communication over spacings/gaps for whatever reason such as aquatic

obstacles, valleys and gorges etc.

Bridge is the KEY ELEMENT in a

Transportation System

General Bridge Components: These are supports on a bridge pier, which carry the

weight of the bridge and control the movements at the bridge supports,

including the temperature expansion and contraction. They may be

metal rockers, rollers or slides or merely rubber or laminated rubber (

Rubber with steel plates glued into it).

: Bridge dampers are devices that absorb

energy generated by earthquake waves and lateral load

: A wide column or short wall of masonry or plain or

reinforced concrete for carrying loads as a support for a bridge, but in

any case it is founded on firm ground below the river mud

General Bridge Components

Bridge Deck: The load bearing floor of a bridge which

carries and spreads the loads to the main beams. It is either of

reinforced concrete., pre-stressed concrete, welded steel etc.

Abutment: A support of an arch or bridge etc which may

carry a horizontal force as well as weight.

Expansion Joints : These are provided to accommodate the

translations due to possible shrinkage and expansions due to

temperature changes.

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

DESIGN PHILOSOPHY

A general statement for assuring safety in engineering design is that

Resistance (of material & x-section) ≥ Effect of applied load

• When applying this principle ,it is essential that both sides of inequality are evaluated for the same condition. For example if the effect of the applied load is to produce compressive stress on soil, then it should be compared with bearing capacity of soil.

Philosophies of Design

For decades the allowable stress design (ASD), also called the workingstress design (WSD) or the straight line design, was used for designing

steel, concrete, wood, and masonry structures; it is still being used for

designing those structures .

For concrete structures, WSD was replaced by the strength designmethod in the 1960s .

Design of steel structures began with ASD, which was followed by the

load factor design (LFD); this was followed by yet another design

method—the load and resistance factor design (LRFD)—which was

introduced in the United States in the 1980s and which has been gaining

wider acceptance by structural engineers for design purposes.Assit. Pro. Dr. Yousif A. Mansoor


ASD - Allowable Stress Design

FS based on experience and judgement

LFD - Load Factor Design

LRFD - Load and Resistance Factor Design

Considers the statistical variability in loads and

resistance. Provides a mathematical basis for

establishing safety 31


An attempt to address the variability in loads

32


The foundation of every design philosophy is the known stress–strain

relationship of the materials .

Unless otherwise mentioned, the following assumptions are implied in the

context of material properties:

1 The material is homogeneous .

2 The material is isotropic .

3 The material is Hookean; that is, it obeys Hooke’s law, meaning the

material is linearly elastic .


33


34


ASD does not recognize different variabilities of different load types.


35


φ - Strength Reduction Factor

In LFD, load and resistance are not considered simultaneously.

36


• The LRFD philosophy provides a more uniform, systematic, and rational approach to the selection of load factors and resistance factors than LFD.


LOAD & RESISTANCE FACTOR DESIGN

To overcome the deficiencies of ASD, the LRFD method was developed which is based on

a) The strength of material

b) Consider variability not only in resistance but also in the effect of loads.

c) Provide a measure of safety related to probability of failure.

Thus the safety criteria is:

ΦRn ≥ η Σ γ Qi

Where Φ is the resistance factor, Rn is the nominal resistance, γ is the statistically based

load factor and Qi is the effect of load and η is the load modification factor.

This equation involves both load factors and resistance factors.

University of Anbar


In the general equation for LRFD method of design

ΦRn ≥ η Σ γi Qi

η is the load modification factor that takes into its account the ductility, redundancy and operational importance of the bridge.Itis given by the expression

η = ηd ηr ηi ≥ 0.95

Where ηd is the ductility factor, ηr is the redundancy factor and ηi is the operational importance factor.

LOAD & RESISTANCE FACTOR DESIGN

University of Anbar


Ductility Factor:

• Ductility is important to the safety of the bridge.

• If ductility is present overloaded portion of the structure can redistribute the load to other portions that have reserve strength.

• This redistribution is dependent on the ability of the overloaded component and its connections to develop inelastic deformations without failure.

• Brittle behavior is to be avoided, because it implies a sudden loss of load carrying capacity when the elastic limit is exceeded.

• The value to be used for the strength limit state, ductility factors are

ηd = 1.05 for non-ductile components and connections

ηd = 0.95 for ductile components and connections

DUCTILITY FACTOR

University of Anbar


Redundancy Factor:

• A statically indeterminate structure is redundant, that is, it has more restraints than necessary to satisfy conditions of equilibrium.

• For example, a three span continuous bridge girder would be classified as statically indeterminate to second degree. Any combination of two supports or two moments or one support and one moment could be lost without immediate collapse, because the loads could find alternative paths to the ground.

• Redundancy in a bridge system will increase its margin of safety and this is reflected in the strength limit state redundancy factors given as

ηR = 1.05 for non-redundant members

ηR = 0.95 for redundant members

REDUNDANCY FACTOR

University of Anbar


Operational Importance Factor:

• Bridges can be considered of operational importance if they are on the shortest path between residential areas and a hospital or a school or provide access for police, fire, and rescue vehicles to homes, businesses, industrial plants, etc.

• It is difficult to find a situation where a bridge would not be operationally important.

• One example of a non important bridge could be on a secondary road leading to a remote recreation area, that is not open year around.

• In the event of an earthquake, it is important that all lifelines, such as bridges remain open. Therefore, following requirements apply to the extreme event limit state as well as to the strength limit state.

ηi = 1.05 for non-ductile components and connections

ηi = 0.95 for ductile components and connections

For all other limit states: ηi = 1.0

2.5.2 - Serviceability

o 2.5.2.6.2 Criteria for Deflection

Principles which apply

• When investigating absolute deflection, load all lanes and assume all components deflect equally.

• When investigating relative deflection, choose the number and position of loaded lanes to maximize the

effect.

• The live load portion of Load Combination Service I (plus impact) should be used.

• The live load is taken from Article 3.6.1.1.2 (covered later).

• For skewed bridges, a right cross-section may be used, for curved bridges, a radial cross section may be

used.

64



• In the absence of other criteria, these limits may be applied to steel, aluminum and/or concrete bridges:

• For steel I girders/beams, the provisions of Arts. 6.10.4.2 and 6.11.4 regarding control of deflection

through flange stress controls shall apply.

Limit State

An event, or circumstance, under which a bridge, or a component,

ceases to satisfy the provisions for which it was designed.

The limit, or boundary, of structural usefulness.

The point at which a component is no longer able to fulfill its intended

(original) purpose.

University of Anbar


Limit State:“A limit state is a condition beyond which a structural

system or structural component ceases to fulfill the function for which it is designed”.Bridges shall be designed for specified limit states to achieve the objectives of constructability, safety and serviceability.

Generally the limit states that are considered in bridge design are:

1. Strength limit state2. Service limit state 3. Fatigue and fracture limit state 4. Extreme Event limit state

LIMIT STATES

University of Anbar


Strength Limit State

Intended to ensure that strength and stability, both locally and

globally, are adequate for statistically significant load combinations.

Distress or damage may occur, but without failure.
