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 2.4 m on centers, and simply supported on a span of 20 m, are used to support the construction loads which include temporary formwork and construction live loads equivalent to 4200 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 0.15 m thick cast- in-place concrete slab.
Given:
Concrete, fc =20.7 MPa
Concrete unit weight =24 kN/m^3
Steel, Fy =345 MPa
Modular ratio, n =9
For composite action, use 1.8 m flange width.
Properties of the steel beam:
Section W685 mm x 152 kg/m
tw =13 mm
bf =250 mm
d =688 m
Ix =15x10^8 mm^4
tf =21 mm
Iy =0.58x10^8 mm^4
A =19355 mm2
1.Determine the maximum bending stress (MPa) in the beam due to dead load which include beam weight, slab and wearing surface of 600 Pascals and the construction loads.
2.Determine the maximum tensile stress (MPa) in the beam due to standard truck load (H load) alone consisting of 15.2 kN front wheel load and 61.8 kN rear wheel load. Distance wheel loads is 4.27 m. Include 24% impact on live load.
3. Determine the maximum compressive stress (MPa) in the concrete slab.
