Washington D.C.: American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, National Academy of Sciences National Research Council. Pipe underdrains are the primary method to provide drainage and are generally used with paved shoulders and curbed sections. (2016). This relationship was developed in the 1950's by testing hundreds of soil samples. Figure 8 shows the HL-93 truck loading cases in the transverse direction of bridge to find the critical loading configurations. Interestingly, the distribution factors for tensile stresses obtained from FEA were significantly smaller than those calculated using the current AASHTO (2002) standard and AASHTO LRFD (2017) specifications by 33% and 46%, respectively. Automated bridge load rating determination utilizing strain response due to ambient traffic trucks. 14b. From (3): The fatigue limit state moment distribution factor is 0.452 lane From (4) and (5), the service and strength limit state shear distribution factor for the interior girder is equal to the larger of 0.973 and 0.782 lane. Finite element model of a typical three-boxes bridge with L = 30 m. The results of a field test study conducted by Ashebo et al. This relationship is defined as the present serviceability index (PSI). There are three means of draining the pavement subsurface - pipe underdrains, prefabricated edge underdrains, and aggregate drains. A distribution procedure for analysis of slabs continuous over flexible beams. The following equations are used. How live load is distributed to beams acting in unison. The 2005 AASHTO LRFD live-load distribution equations for glued-laminated timber girder bridges were presented based on lane loads, or the total axle load. In the LRFD (Load and Resistance Factor Design) Specification/ the multiple presence factor, m, for three loaded lanes is 0.85, while m is re­ duced to 0.65 for four (or more) lanes. I believe that every single one of us, no matter what we've been through, and no matter where we are today, deserves the best that life has to offer. factor up to 40 % lower than the AASHTO LRFD value. Lane distribution: 100% for 2-lane roads; 90% - … It, therefore, was proved that the finite element models adopted in this study could reliably simulate the responses of multicell box-girder bridges. Maintenance Factor – 0.7 (in accordance with main Roads maintenance scheme and AS/NZS1158 requirements) Lamp – 250W, High Pressure Sodium. The AVG is almost unity, which indicates that the proposed equations can be used conservatively to predict stress distribution factors, while the low value for STD indicates that the proposed equations offer a useful approach for predicting the corresponding distribution factors. Excess moisture in the base and subgrade reduces the amount of stress the subgrade can tolerate without permanent strain. At present, the following equation is generally used to derive the LDF for each bridge girder (Fanous et al.

To simplify the design process, a long-standing methodology has evolved in which a multiple girder bridge deck is treated as a one-girder line or beam element (Semendary et al. Outlets should not be located at the top of high (over 20 feet [6 m]) 2:1 fill slopes. 3. Then, the minimum least square fit of the logarithm of the L-R1 data shown in Fig. The CBR is obtained by performing a laboratory penetration test of a soaked sample of soil. The term “lane load” is new and applies to design of above grade bridge decks. As TheRick109 said, the LLDF is a portion of an axle loading applied to a single girder. There are LLDFs for single trucks (wheel loads 6' apart) a... The resulting distribution factors for positive (tensile) and negative (compression) stress were calculated as follows: The distribution factor for maximum deflection was calculated in the same manner as that used for maximum stress. Choi, W., Mohseni, I., Park, J. et al. Lateral live-load distribution of dual-lane vehicles with nonstandard axle configurations. These ratios should be used only where current project counts are not available. The bridge configuration and boundary conditions are presented in Fig. The California bearing ratio (CBR) is a value representing a soil's resistance to shearing under a standard load, compared to the resistance of crushed stone subjected to the same load. Figure 202-1 shows directional distribution. (17) and (18) were utilized to calculate the distribution factor, DF, and deflection factor, Dδs, respectively, for MCB bridges: The formulae obtained for the stress distribution factors given in Eqs. %T24 = 24-hour truck percentage of ADT In the case of compressive stresses, the differences between FEA and AASHTO were reduced. Early live load distribution factors were obtained based on the method proposed by Newmark (1938), which over time has been updated as improved bridge analysis methods have become available. Higgins, C., Turan, T. O., Connor, J. R., & Liu, J. This paper reports an extensive parametric study to determine the maximum stress, deflection, and moment distribution factors for two span multicell box-girder bridges based on a finite element analysis of 120 representative numerical model bridges. The design vehicle ratings shall be rated with multi-lane live load distribution factor.

Additional details for underdrains and outlets are provided in SCD DM-1.2. For pavement design, subgrade soil type is determined directly from soil tests made in conjunction with the soil profile or bridge foundation explorations. The minimum least square fit of the logarithm of the data shown in Fig. https://doi.org/10.1061/(ASCE)BE.1943-5592.0000217. Pipe underdrains are required when constructing new pavement on subgrade for all Interstates, freeways, expressways, and multi-lane divided facilities. The concept of a live load distribution factor (LDF) was first used in the bridge specifications issued by the American Association of State Highway Officials (AASHTO) in 2002 through empirical S/D expressions (known as S-over equations), where S is the girder spacing and D is a constant that depends on the bridge’s superstructure and the type of lane loading.

In this step the structural numbers required above TABLE 8.6 Lane Distribution Factor (AASHTO, 1993) No. of Lanes ... For these sections, truck traffic will tend to use the inner lanes more often than the two-lane scenario, thus reducing the accumulation of loads on any one lane. Trapped moisture in flexible pavement systems leads to stripping, raveling, debonding, and rutting. Reliability is a statistical tool used in pavement design that assumes a standard normal distribution exists for all pavement design parameters and allows the designer to account for deviation from the average equally for all parameters. The live load distribution factors are determined based on the equations in AASHTO. For ODOT pavement design the drainage coefficient shall always be 1.0 for design of both rigid and flexible pavements. The DHV represents the 30th highest hourly volume during a year. Unified approach for LRFD live load moments in bridge decks. B. Development of live-load distribution factors for glued-laminated timber girder bridges. 12 that the increment of the span length from 30.5 to 91.5 m decreased LDFs for tensile and compressive stresses by up to 11% and 33%, respectively. One is the directional distribution factor (D) and the other is the lane factor (LF). Figure 201-1 shows terminal serviceability. Huo, X. S., Conner, S., & Iqbal, R. (2003). Where necessary, the depth of underdrains may vary slightly. Engineering Structures, 117, 101–117. Samaan, M., Sennah, K .M., & Kennedy J.

Newmark, N. M. (1938). (2008). Excess moisture in rigid pavement systems leads to pumping, faulting, cracking, and joint failure. As previous sensitivity studies revealed that changing the slab thickness has an insignificant effect on the live load distribution factors (Huo et al. Or simply enter a new location below to search a specific area. The development of the relatively new distribution factors for beam-and-slab bridges incorporated in the current AASHTO LRFD Specifications are primarily the result of NCHRP Report 1226. Definition: ¾The percentage of the average annual daily truck traffic in one lane along the roadway. 2001; Higgins et al. These common variables are detailed in this section. For all the bridges used in these parametric studies, the modulus of elasticity of the concrete (Ec), Poisson’s ratio (υc) and weight per unit volume were 22.80 GPa, 0.20, and 23.6 KN/m, respectively. mining load distribution. The distance between the beam webs is variable depending on whether it is measured within a beam module or between adjacent modules. The method 5 distribution creates a unique distribution curve for each maximum superelevation rate. To avoid riding and rating every pavement by all raters to determine serviceability, a relationship between PSR and measurable pavement attributes (roughness and distress) was developed. The results obtained for different numbers of lanes (NL) are shown in Figs. LL= live load (HS-20) IM= dynamic load. The live load distribution factors calculated using FEA were higher than those from the LRFD formulas (Eq. It is the number of years for which the ESALs are predicted. The AASHTO/ODOT pavement design equations have some variables common to both rigid and flexible pavement, including serviceability, traffic loading, reliability, overall standard deviation, and roadbed soil resilient modulus. When a pipe underdrain spans the trench of a lower conduit (utility, storm sewer, culvert, etc.) The live load distribution factor (DF) equations provided by AASHTO-LRFD for the decked precast/prestressed concrete (DPPC) girder bridge system do not differentiate between a single or multilane loaded condition.

This is done by applying the directional distribution, which defines the loading in each direction of travel, and the lane factor, which distributes the trucks into the different lanes in a given direction. Improved design specifications for horizontally curved steel girder highway bridges. They may also be placed along the ditch line if water is coming into a cut section from a higher elevation. The proposed load distribution factor includes cross beam effect with the number of lanes and distance from exterior girder to curb. CF = Appropriate truck conversion factor. Live load distribution factors for spread slab beam bridges. PSR is a rating of pavement ride based on a scale of zero, for impassible, to 5, for perfect. where LDF i = live-load distribution factor of the ith girder; L i = moment or deflection of ith girder, ∑L i = sum of all girder actions; and n = number of bridge girders (bridge webs in box-girder bridges)..

(2017). beam distribution for the estimation of the wheel load distribution factor. International Journal of Concrete Structures and Materials This method takes into account growth rates in numbers of trucks, changes in the conversion factors associated with the trucks, and changes in the B:C ratio. All percentages are to be expressed as a decimal. There are two types of traffic parameters: annual average daily traffic (AADT) and ESAL. Underestimation results in pavements thinner than needed and susceptible to premature failure resulting in increased maintenance and impact on the user. The equivalent load most commonly used in pavement design in the U.S. is the 18,000 lb (80 kN) equivalent single axle load (ESAL). AASHTO LRFD live load distribution specifications. When only the peak-hour truck percentage is available, it should be multiplied by 1.6 to estimate the 24-hour percentage. Figure 201-1 lists the overall standard deviation to be used in pavement design. Washington D.C: National Academy Press. Longitudinal cracking has been found to increase the load distribution factor; the resulting load distribution factor can be up to 17 % higher than the LRFD value. AASHTO design method accounts for these uncertainties by incorporating a reliability level R to provide a factor of safety into the pavement design and thereby increase the probability that the pavement will perform as intended over The effect of NB was more significant when the span lengths were shorter. The results of the literature review indicated a lack of adequate expressions to predict the distribution factors for these types of bridges. The live load stress and deflection distribution factors were obtained using FEA for various types of MCB bridges.

The daily ESALs are then used to calculate the cumulative ESALs from the first year of data to the most recent year of data. In order to remove this error, the effects of these remaining parameters should be taken into account. Lane Distribution Factor (ADT) (D) (G) 12. LRFD bridge design specifications (8th ed.). (6) then becomes: The distribution factor for maximum deflection, Dδs, was determined in the same manner as in the previous section for the stress distribution factor. Concrete multicell box-girder (MCB) bridges are commonly used for highway bridges in road networks all over the world. Here, Eqs. The modal test was mainly conducted to obtain the dynamic responses of the bridge such as the fundamental frequencies and the mode shapes. An extensive study on bridges constructed using prestressed concrete girders, steel girders and T-beams (Hays et al. The design serviceability loss is the difference between the terminal serviceability and the initial serviceability. A set of equations proposed to describe the behavior of such bridges under AASHTO LRFD live loads yielded results that agreed closely with the numerically derived results for the stress and deflection distribution factors. The design stresses and deflection demands for an individual box depend on a number of parameters, including the position of the live loads, the web spacing, the span length, and the relative deck-to-girder stiffness.
