PROGRESS REPORT ON

CALIBRATION OF STRENGTH IV LIMIT STATE IN

AASHTO LRFD BRIDGE DESIGN

SPECIFICATIONS

AASHTO T-5 Meeting

Austin, TX

July 10, 2012

Presented By

Wagdy G. Wassef, P.E., Ph.D., Modjeski and Masters, Inc.

Scope of Work (1)

• Compile a set of six straight, square, 3-

span steel I-girder bridges (Group 1)

– Center span length starts at 100 ft,

incremented by 100 ft

– Side spans 80% of center span

– Cross-section representative of 2-lane

Interstate Highway bridge with shoulders

– Gutter-to-Gutter width 44 ft, 5 Girders at 10’-2”

– Sufficiently designed to accurately provide DL

Scope of Work (2)

• Compile set of six existing bridges (40-600

ft span lengths) (Group 2 Bridges)

– Short-span concrete slab bridge (~40 ft)

– Spliced concrete I-girder bridge (~180 ft)

– Multicell Concrete Box Girder Bridge (~250 ft)

– Steel trusses (~250 ft & ~600 ft)

– Segmental concrete box girder (~525 ft)

– Bridges assumed to be straight and square

Scope of Work (3)

• Analyze each bridge to determine maximum

positive bending moment, maximum negative

bending moment, and maximum shear for dead

loads and HL-93 live load

• Factor loads according to Strength I, existing

Strength IV, and proposed Strength IV load

combinations

• Calculate reliability index for each bridge and

each load combination (Strength I, current

Strength IV, and proposed Strength IV)

Scope of Work (4)

• Analyze each bridge for the MnDOT P413

Truck and the CalTrans P15 truck with

variable axle spacings of 18 ft, 39 ft, and 60 ft

– Permit loads assumed to be in all lanes initially

– Revised to have permit load in one lane with and

without the design load in remaining lanes for

interior girders of Group 1 Bridges

• Determine force effects due to Strength II

load combination

Strength II: Permit Vehicles

• CalTrans P15 (404 Kips)

• MnDOT P413 (255 Kips)

Conclusions

Strength II Comparisons (1)

• The CA-P15 trucks produce live load effects

significantly higher than the HL93

• When assumed to be in all lanes, the CA-P15

trucks produce Strength II factored design load

effects (DL + Permit) significantly higher than the

Strength I factored design load effects (DL +

HL93)

Conclusions


• The ratio between Strength II and Strength I

factored design load effects is reduced when the

permit vehicles are assumed to exist in one lane

with HL93 load in other lanes

• A larger reduction is achieved when the permit

load is assumed to have lower impact and/or

when no other loads are assumed on the bridge

concurrently with the permit load

Conclusions


• When assumed to exist in all lanes, the MN-413

truck produce Strength II design loads effects no

more than 10% higher than Strength I design

load effects

Conclusions

Strength IV Reliability Index

• The two proposed load combinations

(1.35 DL + 1.35 LL) and (1.4 DL + 1.4 LL)

Do not control over Strength I for the bridges

included in this study except in few cases and by

not more than 5% for the latter combination.

• When Strength I controls, the reliability index

does not change. When Strength IV controls

(with slight margin), the difference in the

reliability index is small
