Question: To construct the deck of a bridge over a deep ravine, steel beams spaced at 2 . 4 m on centers, and simply supported on
To construct the deck of a bridge over a deep ravine, steel beams spaced at m on centers, and simply supported on a span of m are used to support the construction loads which include temporary formwork and construction live loads equivalent to Pa At this stage, only the steel beams carry the loads. After the slab has hardened, sufficient shear connectors welded to the beam flange provide full composite action of the steel beam with the m thick cast inplace concrete slab.
Given:
Concrete, fc MPa
Concrete unit weight kNm
Steel, Fy MPa
Modular ratio, n
For composite action, use m flange width.
Properties of the steel beam:
Section W mm x kgm
tw mm
bf mm
d m
Ix x mm
tf mm
Iy x mm
A mm
Determine the maximum bending stress MPa in the beam due to dead load which include beam weight, slab and wearing surface of Pascals and the construction loads.
Determine the maximum tensile stress MPa in the beam due to standard truck load H load alone consisting of kN front wheel load and kN rear wheel load. Distance wheel loads is m Include impact on live load.
Determine the maximum compressive stress MPa in the concrete slab.
