  1. Flexural Strength (These calculations are for midspan section)
    R F = φ c φ s φ R n γ D C D C γ D W D W γ L L ( L L + I )
    Where:
    • Evaluation factors

      Resistance

      Factor

      Ψ Flexure 1.0
      Shear 0.9
      Condition Factor Ψ 1.0 - no deterioration
      System Factor Ψ 1.0
    • ΨMn is already computed in Precast/Prestressed Girder in the Ultimate Moment report,

      (Mu-prvd) = 6245.2 k. ft and Ψ= 1.0 for flexural members

    • ΨDC, ΨDW, ΨLL+IM are given in the following table:
      Load Inventory Operating
      ΨDC 1.25 1.25
      ΨDW 1.50 1.50
      ΨLL+IM 1.75 1.35
    • Dead Load (DC and DW)

      The dead load values can be selected from File > Print Shear/Moment Envelope for Service I. In the following table we list the dead load moment values at midspan location.

      Dead loads (k.ft) at midspan
      DC Self-Weight 657.5
      Deck & Haunch 739.2
      Diaphragms 120.0
      Concrete Barriers (Comp DC) 200.0
      TOTAL 1716.7
      DW Future Wearing Surface (Comp DW) 162.0
    • Live Load

      We obtain the live load moment value (with impact and distribution factor) from Precast/Prestressed Girder output.

      Live Loads (k.ft) at midspan
      LL + I 1486.0

      By introducing the above data in the general load-rating equation:

      For Inventory Level:

      R F I N V = φ c φ s φ R n γ D C D C γ D W D W γ L L ( L L + I ) = 1 × 1 × 1 × 6245.2 1.25 × 1716.7 1.5 × 162.0 1.75 × 1486.0 = 1.48

      For Operating Level:

      R F O P = φ c φ s φ M n γ D C D C γ D W D W γ L L ( L L + I ) = 1 × 1 × 1 × 6245.2 1.25 × 1716.7 1.5 × 162.0 1.35 × 1486.0 = 1.92

  2. Shear Strength

    These calculations are for the critical section near left support.

    R F = φ c φ s φ V n γ D C D C γ D W D W γ L L ( L L + I )
    • Evaluation Factors
      Evaluation Factors
      Resistance Factor ϕ Flexure 1.0
      Shear 0.9
      Condition Factor ϕ 1.0 - no deterioration
      System Factor ϕ 1.0
    • ϕVn

      For critical location, we use 2 legs US#4(M13) @ 9in:

      V s p r o v i d = A v × f y × d v × cot θ s = 0.400 × 60 × 58.7 × cot 22.4 9 = 379.77 k f t

      Vp= 0 kft

      Vc-com= – 99.8 kft

      Φ V n = 0.9 × ( V s p r o v d + V p + V c c o m ) = 0.9 × ( 279.77 + 0 + 99.8 ) = 431.6 k f t
    • ϕDC, ϕDW, ϕLL+I are given in the following table:
      Load Inventory Operating
      ϕDC 1.25 1.25
      ϕDW 1.50 1.50
      ϕLL+I 1.75 1.35
    • Dead Load (DC and DW) Shears

      These values are obtained from File > Print Shear/Moment Envelope. The values for shear at critical section were obtained by linear interpolation of the values from Bearing and 0.1L

      location. Please notice that the critical location differs for each truck -- for Design Truck the critical location is 6.35 feet. In the following table, we list the Dead Load shear values at critical location.

      Dead loads (k.ft) at midspan
      DC Self-Weight 28.09
      Deck & Haunch 31.58
      Diaphragms 3.0
      Concrete Barriers (Comp DC) 8.55
      TOTAL 71.22
      DW Future Wearing Surface(Comp DW) 6.96
    • Live Load

      We obtain the live load shear value (with impact and distribution factor) from Precast/Prestressed Girder output.

      Live Load (kips) at critical section near left support

By introducing the above data in the general load-rating equation:

For Inventory Level:

R F I N V = φ c × φ s × φ × M n × V n γ D W D W γ L ( L L + I ) = 1 × 1 × 1 × 431.6 1.25 × 71.22 1.50 × 6.96 1.75 × 85.36 = 2.23

For Operating Level:

R F O P = φ c × φ s × φ × M n × V n γ D W D W γ L ( L L + I ) = 1 × 1 × 1 × 431.6 1.25 × 71.22 1.50 × 6.96 1.35 × 85.36 = 2.89
