LONGITUDINAL MOVEMENT AT END EXPANSION JOINT ON ABUTMENT :
----------------------------------------------------------------
L = 70.000 m
Ec (M40 gr.) = 1.802 *106 t/m2 ( deferred value has been considered )
esh (at 28 days) = 1.90 *10-4
ecr (at 28 days) = 4.00 *10-7/(t/m2)
fb = 600 t/m2 (assumed)
a = 1.17 *10 / C
-5 o
T = +/- 25 oC
esh*L
ush = fb*ecr*L = 13.3 mm
ucr = = 16.8 mm
------------------------
a*T*L 30.1 mm
ut = = +/- 20.5 mm

Therefore, provide El 40
with a movement of +/- mm with a preset for compression of 15 mm.
The expansion joint gap at this location will twice the expansion gap at the ends.
Therefore, provide Mo 80
with a movement of +/- mm with a preset for compression of 30 mm.
LEGEND:
L = effective length
Ec (M40 GR.) = design value of Modulus of Elasticity for M40 grade =5700(fck) N/mm2
ecr (at 7 days) = value of strain due to creep at 7 days
esh (at 7 days) = value of strain due to residual shrinkage at 7 days
ecr (at 28 days) = value of strain due to creep at 28 days
esh (at 28 days) = value of strain due to residual shrinkage at 28 days
a = coefficient of expansion per degree centigrade
fb = bottom fibre stress
T = variation in temperature on the basis of extreme climate
ush = longitudinal deck movement due to effect of shrinkage
ut = longitudinal deck movement due to effect of temperature
ucr = longitudinal deck movement due to effect of temperature
ues = longitudinal deck movement due to effect of elastic shortening
