403-3.07 Vehicle Collision with Structure [Rev. Oct. 2012]
Unless the structure is protected as specified in LRFD 3.6.5.1, an abutment or pier located within
30 ft of the edge of a roadway shall be designed for loads in accordance with LRFD 3.6.5.2.
Requirements for train collision load have been removed from the 2012 LRFD.
A mechanically-stabilized-earth-wall bridge abutment placed adjacent to a roadway need not be
checked for vehicle-collision forces as described in LRFD 3.6.5. However, if the wall must be
placed inside the clear zone, roadway safety shall be addressed as described in Chapter 49.

CONSTRUCTION LOADING
The exterior girder has been checked for strength, deflection, and overturning using the
constructions loads shown below. Cantilever overhang brackets were assumed for support of the
deck overhang past the edge of the exterior girder. The finishing machine was assumed to be
supported 6 in. outside the vertical coping form. The top overhang brackets were assumed to be
located 6 in. past the edge of the vertical coping form. The bottom overhang brackets were
assumed to be braced against the intersection of the girder bottom flange and web.
Deck Falsework Loads: Designed for 15 lb/ft2 for permanent metal stay-in-place deck
forms, removable deck forms, and 2-ft exterior walkway.
Construction Live Load: Designed for 20 lb/ft2 extending 2 ft past the edge of coping and 75
lb/ft vertical force applied at a distance of 6 in. outside the face of
coping over a 30-ft length of the deck centered with the finishing
machine.
Finishing-Machine Load: 4500 lb distributed over 10 ft along the coping.
Wind Load: Structure designed for 70 mph horizontal wind loading in
accordance with LRFD 3.8.1.

406-4.02 Normal-Weight and Lightweight Concrete [Rev. Oct. 2012]
The minimum cf for prestressed or post-tensioned concrete components shall be shown on the
plans. Such a strength outside the range shown in Section 406-1.0 is not permitted without
written approval of the Director of Bridges. For lightweight concrete, the air dry unit weight
shall be shown on the plans as 119 lb/ft3. The modulus of elasticity will be calculated using the
119 lb/ft3 value. The unit weight of the lightweight concrete will be taken as 124 lb/ft
3. The
additional weight is to account for the mild reinforcing steel and the tensioning strands. See
LRFD 5.4.2.2 for the coefficient of linear expansion.
The following will apply to concrete.
1. The design compressive strength of normal-weight and lightweight concrete at 28 days,
cf , shall be in the range as follows:
406-4.03 Lightweight Concrete [Rev. Oct. 2012]
The use of lightweight concrete, with normal-weight sand mixed with lightweight coarse
aggregate, is permitted with a specified density of 119 lb/ft3. The use of lightweight concrete
shall be demonstrated to be necessary and cost effective during the structure-size-and-type study.
The modulus of elasticity will be less than that for normal-weight concrete. Creep, shrinkage,
and deflection shall be appropriately evaluated and accounted for if lightweight concrete is to be
used. The formula shown in LRFD 5.4.2.6 shall be used in lieu of physical test values for
modulus of rupture. The formula for sand-lightweight concrete shall be used for lightweight
concrete.
406-12.02(03) Indiana Bulb-Tee Beam [Rev. Oct. 2012]
See Figures 406-14A through 406-14F, and 406-14M through 406-14R, for details and section
properties. For a long-span bridge, bulb-tee beams with a top-flange width of 60 in. shall be
considered for improved stability during handling and transporting. Draped strands may be
considered for use in a bulb-tee beam, but shall only be considered if tensile stresses in the top of
the beam near its end are exceeded if using straight strands. The maximum allowable
compressive strength, tensile strength, extent of strand debonding, and number of top strands
shall be considered in evaluating the need for draped strands. If draped strands are used, the
maximum allowable hold-down force per strand shall be 3.8 kip, with a maximum total hold-
down force of 38 kip. For additional information on draped strands, see Section 406-12.03.

409-2.0 INTEGRAL ABUTMENT [REV. OCT. 2012]
409-2.01 General [Rev. Oct. 2012]
An integral abutment eliminates the expansion joint in the bridge deck, which reduces both the
initial construction costs and subsequent maintenance costs.
Integral abutments shall be used for a new structure in accordance with the geometric limitations
provided in Figure 409-2A. Minimum support-length requirements need not to be investigated
for an integral-abutments bridge. An integral structure of length of 500 ft or less will not require
seismic analysis, provided the abutment is detailed in accordance with the information provided
in this chapter. An integral structure of 500 ft or longer located in an area in a seismic design
category greater than A will be analyzed using elastic dynamic analysis.
For additional information and research supporting INDOT’s integral abutment design
philosophy, see the following publications:

Transportation Research Program, Indiana Department of Transportation and Purdue
University, West Lafayette, Indiana, 2006. This study investigates the fundamental
principals affecting the integral abutment, gives recommendations concerning minimum
pile depths, and recommends the limits of use be extended to 500 feet.

further investigate skew and detailing of the integral abutment.
409-2.03(02) Passive Earth Pressure [Rev. Oct. 2012]
The restraining effect of passive earth pressure behind the abutments may be neglected in
considering superstructure longitudinal force distribution to the interior piers. Alternatively, the
effect of passive earth pressure behind the abutments may be considered by distributing the
longitudinal forces between the interior supports, abutment supports, and the soil behind the
abutments.
409-2.04(01) General Requirements [Rev. Oct. 2012]
2. Bridge Approach. A reinforced-concrete bridge approach, anchored to the abutment with
#5 bars, epoxy coated, and spaced at 1’-0” centers, shall be used at each integral
abutment regardless of the traffic volume. The bars shall extend out of the pavement
ledge as shown in Figures 409-2C and 409-2D. Two layers of polyethylene sheeting
shall be placed between the reinforced-concrete bridge approach and the subgrade. A
rigid reinforced-concrete bridge approach is necessary to prevent compaction of the
backfill behind the abutment.
3. Bridge-Approach Joint. For a structure of length of less than 300 ft, a terminal joint of 2
ft width, as shown on the INDOT Standard Drawings, or a pavement-relief joint, should
be placed at the end of the reinforced-concrete bridge approach. An expansion joint
should be considered for an integral structure having length from 300 ft to 500 ft. An
expansion joint is required for an integral structure of length greater than 500 ft, as shown
in Figure 409-2F.
7. Intermediate Pier Details for Integral Structure Located in Seismic Area with Seismic
Design Category Greater than A. Intermediate piers should include concrete restrainers
as shown in Figure 409-2B.

409-2.04(02) Pile Connection and Plans Details [Rev. Oct. 2012]
An integral abutment may be constructed using either of the methods as follows (see Figures
409-2C and 409-2D).
1. Method A. The superstructure beams are placed on and attached directly to the abutment
piling. The entire abutment is then poured at the same time as the superstructure deck.
This is the preferred method.
2. Method B. The superstructure beams are set in place and anchored to the previously cast-
in-place abutment cap. The concrete above the previously cast-in-place cap shall be
poured at the same time as the superstructure deck.
Optional construction joints may be placed in the abutment cap to facilitate construction. An
optional joint below the bottom of the beam may be used regardless of bridge length. The
optional construction joint at the pavement-ledge elevation shown in Figures 409-2C and 409-2D
allows the contractor to pour the reinforced-concrete bridge approach with the bridge deck.
Regardless of the method used, the abutment shall be in accordance with the following.
1. Width. The width shall not be less than 2.5 ft.
2. Cap Embedment. The embedment of the piles into the cap shall be 2 ft. The embedded
portion of the pile should be confined with spiral reinforcement as shown in Figure 409-
2E.
10. If placed behind an MSE retaining wall, the abutment should be configured as shown in
Figure 409-2G.
409-4.03(01) Construction Joint [Rev. Oct. 2012]
The following applies to a construction joint at a spill-through end bent.
1. Type. Construction joint type A shall be used for each horizontal construction joint. See
the INDOT Standard Drawings.
2. Integral. See Figures 409-2C and 409-2D for construction-joint use at an integral
abutment.

409-5.01 General [Rev. Oct. 2012]
See Chapter 402 and LRFD 11.6 for more information on the selection and design of abutments.
An abutment functions as both an earth-retaining and vertical-load-carrying structure. A parapet
abutment is designed to accommodate thermal movements with strip-seal expansion devices
between the concrete deck and abutment end block. An integral abutment shall be designed to
accommodate movements at the roadway end of the approach panel.
A mechanically-stabilized-earth-wall bridge abutment placed adjacent to a roadway need not to
be checked for vehicle-collision forces as described in LRFD 3.6.5. However, if the wall must
be placed inside the clear zone, roadside safety shall be addressed.
A mechanically-stabilized-earth-wall bridge abutment placed adjacent to a railroad track shall be
in accordance with Section 409-6.03(03).
409-6.03(02) Roadway-Grade Separation [Rev. Oct. 2012]
A new-bridge pier located within 30 ft of the edge of roadway shall be designed for a vehicular
collision-static force of 600 kip, as indicated in LRFD 3.6.5.1.
409-6.03(03) Railroad-Grade Separation [Rev. Oct. 2012]
A pier within 25 ft of a present-track or a future-track centerline shall be designed in accordance
with the AREMA Manual for Railway Engineering.
409-7.03(03) Determining Standard Bearing-Device Type [Rev. Oct. 2012]
The procedure for determining the applicable standard elastomeric bearing device is the same for
each structural-member type.
Determine the dead-load plus live-load reaction, and calculate the maximum expansion length
for the bridge at the support for which the device is located. Then enter Figure 409-7B, 409-7C,
409-7D, or 409-7E, Elastomeric Bearing Pad or Assembly Types, Properties, and Allowable
Values, for the appropriate structural-member type, with the reaction and maximum expansion

Page 12
length. The required bearing-device size is that which corresponds to the reaction and
expansion-length values shown in the figure which are less than or equal to those determined. If
the reaction or expansion length is greater than the figure’s value, use the next larger device size.
If the reaction or expansion length is greater than the maximum value shown on the figure, the
pad must be properly resized and designed.
The maximum service limit state rotation due to total load, Өs, shall be calculated in accordance
with LRFD 14.4.2.1.
The requirement for a tapered plate shall be determined in accordance with LRFD 14.8.2.

410-6.04(05) Limiting Eccentricity Due to Overturning [Rev. Oct. 2012]
Resistance to limiting eccentricity due to overturning is provided by the infill within the module.
In performing a sliding analysis, the following shall be considered.
1. Eccentricity shall be evaluated at the Strength Limit state.
2. The requirements of LRFD 10.6.3 and 11.11.4.4 will apply.
3. Calculation methods are similar to those for a cast-in-place concrete wall.
4. Load factors shall be as shown in LRFD Figure C11.5.6-2.
5. The location of the resultant of the reaction forces shall be within the middle two-thirds
of the base width.
