A simply supported single span bridge is located in Toronto, Ontario and has a span of x*.It will be exposed to a dead load of 22kN/m (including self-weight) and a live load of12kN/m. At the same time, it will be experiencing a dead load of 20kN and a live load of5kN at the center, as well as a dead load of 10kN located at y* from the right support. Thebeam has a rectangular cross-section with a width of 750mm and a height of 1100mm.The member has a stirrup of 15M and 25M tensions bars. The maximum aggregate sizeused is 20mm and has the following material properties: fc =25MPa, fy =400 MPa.Design the beam and determine the effective depth and design summary where X=15 m and Y=4 m.
