UNIT-2 (Lecture-1) Design of Slab Bridges

This document provides instructions and guidelines for designing a reinforced concrete slab bridge. It includes general requirements for loading definitions, design guidelines, and the limit state method of design. It then provides specific design parameters and instructions for a sample design problem of a 6m clear span slab culvert with two traffic lanes and footpaths. The steps include determining the slab depth, effective span, calculating dead and live load bending moments, designing the main and distribution steel reinforcement, and checking the shear strength. Design is based on IRC and IS code specifications for loading, shear strength provisions, and reinforcement design.

Design of Slab Bridge

Design a reinforced concrete slab culvert for a National Highway crossing to suit the following data:
1. Carriage way - Two lane (7.5 m wide),
2. Foot paths - 1 m on ether side,
3. Clear span = 6 m,
4. Wearing coat = 80 mm,
5. Width of bearing = 400 mm,
6. Materials: M-25 Grade Concrete and Fe-415 Grade HYSD bars,
7. Loading-IRC Class AA tracked vehicle.

Design of Slab Bridge

Step:1 Depth of Slab

a) Based on limit state of serviceability considerations of limiting deflections


Ratio of Span/Depth (L/d) = 12 to 15
1. For (L/d) = 15, d= (span/15) = (6000/15) = 400 mm
2. For (L/d) = 12, d= (span/12) = (6000/12) = 500 mm
b) For highway solid slabs bridge decks Thickness of the slab is assumed as 80 mm/metre of span Depth
of slab = (80 x 6) = 480 mm.
Based on the above considerations, adopt overall depth of slab = h = 500 mm.

Step:2 Effective Span

Assuming moderate exposure conditions, clear cover = 40 mm Using 20 mm diameter HYSD bars as main
reinforcements with a clear cover of 40 mm,
Effective depth = [500 - 40 - 10] = 450 mm
Width of bearing = 400 mm
Effective span is the least of:
a) (Clear span + effective depth) = (6 + 0.45) m= 6.45 m
Cross Section of Deck Slab.
b) Centre to centre of bearings = (6 + 0.40) = 6.4 m

Check for Shear
For maximum shear at support, the IRC Class AA tracked vehicle is arranged as shown

= 169 kN

Check for Shear

Criterion, the Indian standard codes IS: 456-2000 and IRC: 112- 2011 has incorporated the shear strength enhancing
factor K which depends upon the depth of the solid slab. While the IS code specifies values of AT ranging from 1.00 to
1.30 for slabs of depths ranging from 300 to 150 mm respectively, the IRC code specifies an empirical equation of the
type.
IRC 112: Shear Strength Provisions; Cl: 10.3.2
IS 456: Shear Strength Provisions

14
Check for Shear
The ultimate shear strength of the reinforced concrete deck slab is checked by using the equation
