Design of 20m span superstructure

(Design of Deck slab)

Design if Deck Slab

Sailent fetures of super-structure:

Effective span of the longitudinal girder(C/C of supports) = 40 m
Overall depth of girder = 2 m
Width of web = 0.6 m
Thickness of slab = 0.23 m
Spacing of longitudinal girders = 1.7 m
Number of longitudinal girders = 5 nos.
Number of cross girders = 3 nos.
Thickness of crosss girder = 0.3 m
Depth of cross girder = 1 m (Incl. deck slab)

Materials adopted:
Grade of Concrete =M 30
Grade of steel = Fe 415
scbc= 13.334 N/mm2
sst = 200 N/mm2
n= 0.401
j= 0.867
k= 2.318

Cross girders are provided at the supports and at the mid span

Distance between the C/L of the end and middle cross girders = 9 m
Distance between the C/L of the end amd middle longitudinal girders = 1.7 m
Aspect ratio = (l/b) = 5.295
Hence the deck slab shall be designed as one way slab

Load caculations:
Load due to self weight of the deck slab = 0.23 x 25
= 5 kN/m2

Load due toCrashbarrier:

0.31 x 24 = 7.44 kN/m
And the same is assumed to be acting as UDL over a width of 500mm
I.e 14.88 kN/m (over a width of 500mm)
For calculation purpose load due to crash barrier is applied on median side also.

Load due to wearing coat:

Thickness of wearing coat = 75 mm (or) 0.075 m
Load due to wearing coat = 1.65 kN/m2

Live Load Calculations:

Deck slab is designed for three lane traffic and the following loads were considered in the design
Class -AA Wheeled
Class -AA Tracked Vehicle
70R - Bogie loading
Class - A Wheeled
The following live load positions were studied for maximum effects of the live load on the deck slab

b1 = Breadth of the concentration area of load.(parallel to support)

For Tyres 1 & 4 (First vehicle)

a= 0.75 m
lo = 1.7 m
b1 = 250 + (2 x 75 )= 400 mm
a= 2.6
beff = 1.49 m
The effective width is overlapping, hence the beff = 2.69 m

Width of tyre along the span direction =

500 + (2 x ( 75 + 200 ) = 1050 mm
(or) 1.05 m
As per IRC:6, the impact factor of 50% shall be considered.

Intensity of loading = 114 x 1.5

2.69 x 1.05 = 60.542 kN/m2

For Tyres 2 & 3 (First vehicle)

a= 0.85 m
lo = 1.7 m
b1 = 250 + (2 x 75 )= 400 mm
a= 2.6
beff = 1.505 m
The effective width is overlapping, hence the beff = 2.705 m

Continuous beam analysis has been carried-out by using the structural analysis programe (STAAD)
by inputting the various loads calculated above on the beam members. The analysis results were
appended for ready reference.

Note: Values with negative sign are hogging moments

Check for depth requirement:

Maximum BM = 30.28 kNm (at the face of web)
Efective depth required = sqrt(BM/Q x b) = 114.294 mm
Overall depth provided = 200 mm
Effective depth available = 200 - 50 - 5
= 145 mm > 114.294 mm
Hence, the section adopted is ADEQUATE

Design of reinforcement :
For hogging moment:(at the face of the web)
Design hogging moment = 20.53 kNm
Overall depth provided = 375 mm
Effective depth availbale = 375 - 40 - 5
= 330 mm
Area of steel required = BM/sst x j x d
= 358.779 mm2/m
Hence, provide Y 10 bars @ 218 mm C/C
Max. hogging moment at other locations = 10.93 kNm
Area of steel required = BM/sst x j x d

 Design of 20m span superstructure
(Design of Deck slab)

= 409.309 mm2/m
Hence, provide Y 10 bars @ 191 mm C/C

However provide @ 190 mm C/C

Area of steel provided = 413 mm2/m

For sagging moment:

Design sagging moment = 30.28 kNm
E. Depth provided = 200 - 40 - 6
= 154 mm C/C
Area of steel required = BM/sst x j x d
= 1133.93 mm2/m
Hence, provide Y 12 bars @ 99 mm C/C
Hence, provide Y 12 bars @ 95 mm C/C

Check for minimum Reinforcement:

As per IRC:21-2000, minimum reinforcemrnt in slabs shall be 0.12 %
Area of steel = 240 mm /m 2
< 409.309 mm /m
2

Hence, OKAY
For distribution Reinforcement::
Design moment = 9.084 kNm
(0.3 times the maximum BM considered)
Area of steel required = BM/sst x j x d
= 361.294 mm2/m
Hence, provide Y 10 bars @ 217 mm C/C
Hence, provide Y 8 bars @ 150 mm C/C

Note: As per the IRC:21-2000, Shear need not be checked if the live load dispersions are
taken as per the dispersion width formula
