Question: A three span bridge ABCD has a total width of 1 1 m , and end up - stand beams of 2 0 0 mm

A three span bridge ABCD has a total width of 11 m , and end up-stand beams of 200 mm wide and 600 mm high. The deck is of reinforced concrete of thickness 200 mm . The deck is supported monolithically by girders 400 mm wide by 600 mm deep, these girders are spaced at 1500 mm centres. Each span of the bridge is simply supported and is approximately 25 m .
i). Draw the layout, cross section and longitudinal section of the bridge. (+ marks)
ii). Determine the number of notional lanes on the bridge. (2 marks)
iii). How many tandem systems can traverse the bridge at a time? 2 marks).
iv). Draw the influence lines and determine the Maximum load effects for one of the notional lanes subjected to tandem axle load of 300 KV and a uniformly distributed load of 9KNm2 :
i. Bending moment of girder at midspan of BC.(t marks).
ii. Reaction of girder at support A (4 marks).
iii. Shear of girder at mid of end span (4 marks)
A three span bridge ABCD has a total width of 1 1
