Design Lane
• The design lane has a width equal to the lesser of 3600 mm or
width of the traffic lane.
• Roadway widths from 6000 to 7200 mm shall have two design
lanes, each equal to one-half the roadway width.
• The number of design lanes is taken as the integer part of the
result when the clear roadway width in mm between curbs is
divided by 3600.
• If the design lanes are more than one, following reduction factor
[given in Table 3.6.1.1.2-1 of AASHTO LRFD BDS 7th Edition
2014] is applied on the live load force effect called Multiple
Presence Factor denoted by m.

Pedistrian Loads
• A pedestrian load of 3600 N/m2 is used on all
sidewalks simultaneously with the vehicular
design live load.
• Separate bridges for pedestrian and bicycle
traffic should be designed for a live load of
4100 N/m2.
• The dynamic load allowance is not considered
for these loads.

Distribution of live load
• The truck loads on the bridge deck are moving at
different locations along the width and length of
the slab.
• When these loads occupy certain critical
positions, maximum forces occur in the members.
• For approximate design of the deck, usually one-
dimensional analysis is carried out considering
only the girder.
• In such cases, it becomes very important to find
the effect of loads along the lateral direction of
the member.

Conditions For Approximate Method
• Spacing of beams, S, should be between1.1 and 4.9
m.
• Thickness of deck slab, ts, should be between 110 and
300 mm.
• Length of beam should be between 6.0 and 73.0 m.
• Number of longitudinal beams in the cross-section, Nb,
should be greater than or equal to 4.
• The deck cross-section should be one of the standard
types given in the AASHTO Specification.
• The width of deck should be constant.
