Influence lines
Influence lines are produced by carrying out
analysis for generic loading cases
Use the principle of superposition to determine
load effects at particular points due to complex
loading configurations
Limited value as they only provide information at
selected points. They give no indication of
distribution.
Useful for preliminary design.
Used by analysis programs for automatic
bridge loading
Moment distribution
An iterative method for analysis statically
indeterminate structures (avoiding simultaneous
equations).
In the moment distribution method, the joint
displacements (and rotations) are first assumed to
be restrained.
The effect of the displacements is then introduced
by successive iterations which can be continued to
any desired precision.
Used to determine bending moments (from which
other load effects can be calculated).
Easy to apply and easily remembered.

Moment distribution
Method:
• Determine the distribution factors at each joint
• Determine the carry-over factors
• Determine the fixed-end moments at each joint
• Release the joints in turn, distributing the out-of-
balance moments to each member, and
inserting the carry-overs as appropriate
• Continue until the effect of the release at the
joints is negligible
Distribution factors

Moments due to rotation at B:
MBA = 4EIBA/LBA
L AB
MBC = 4EIBC/LBC
Thus moment is distributed in the ratio:
EIBC/LBC to BC
A
EIBC/LBC + EIBA/LBA
and
EIBA/LBA to BA
EIBC/LBC + EIBA/LBA

Creep Redistribution
When a sustained load is applied to a concrete structure
strains increase over time. This phenomena is known as
‘Creep’. The implications on prestressed concrete
bridge design are twofold:
- Loss of prestress
Creep Redistribution
The “creep factor”, , determines the amount of
redistribution that occurs and is dependant on a number
of factors (See Annex B of EN 1992-1-1):
• Age of concrete at time of initial loading
• Type of cement
• Concrete cement content and water-cement ratio
• Ambient humidity
• Time since loading
For precast construction is typically around 1.6
For in situ construction ranges from 2.0 to 2.5

instanteous distribution using

Creep Redistribution
Values for the creep factor are defined by a number of model codes
including Eurocode 2, CEB-FIP 1978, CEB-FIP 1990, ACI Code 209-78
and others.

k L depends on the environmental conditions (see Figure 9);
k m depends on the hardening (maturity) of the concrete at the age of loading (see
Figure 10);
