Bridge

1. Materials:
1.1. Concrete Grade: C50/60: fck,cube = 60.0 MPa
Ecm = 26.4 GPa

1.2. Reinforcement: 500B: fy = 500 MPa

Es = 200 GPa

2. Nominal Concrete Cover and Crack Width Requirements

2.1. Exposure Class: XC3: wmax = 0.25 mm

cnom = 45 mm (for reinforcement concrete)
cnom = 55 mm (for prestressed concrete)

3. Design Load

3.1. Dead Load

- Concrete self-weight: ρc = 25 kN/m3

3.2. Superimposed Load

- Desk level: 150mm finishes: wf1 = 3.0 kPa
E&M loads: we1 = 0.5 kPa

- Roof level: 100mm finishes: wf1 = 2.0 kPa

E&M loads: we1 = 0.5 kPa

3.3. Live Load

- Desk level: wL1 = 5.0 kPa
- Roof level: wL1 = 2.0 kPa

3.4. Wind Load

- Basic wind pressure: P = 2.5 kPa (Assume the site is located at sheltered area)

- Lateral wind coefficient: Cf = 1.9 (assume solidity ratio Ø = 0.1)

- Upward/Downward wind coefficient:

o Bridge desk: Cf = +1.1/-0.6
o Vault roof: Cf = +1.0

4. Load Combination

2.1. Set A – load combination (EQU)

2.2. Set B – load combination (STR)
