Design a single span steel beam bridge of span 12.250m with minimum AASHTO shear connection
between the steel beam and the concrete deck slab. The curb-to-curb roadway width is 11.24m with
380mm curb and barrier on each side. The loading is HL-93. Besides a wearing surface of 15mm, provide
allowance for 75mm thick bituminous overlay. fc ’ = 30 MPa, fy = 415 MPa. Use structural steel of A36 Grade.
Slab depth =

= 2500 – 10% of the inner spacing
= 2500 – 250 = 2250mm < 4100 mm [OK]
2. Se /h = 2250/190 = 11.84 (between 6.0 and 18.0) [OK]
3. Core depth = 205-60-25 = 120 mm > 100 mm [OK]
4. Deck slab depth = 190 mm > 175 mm [OK]
5. Overhang portion = 620+380 = 1000 mm versus 5h = 5 x 190 = 950 mm [OK]
6. fc ’ = 30 MPa > 28 MPa [OK]
7. A minimum of two shear connectors will be placed at a spacing of 600 mm c/c [OK]
Bottom layer steel = 0.570 mm 2/mm [No.13 @250 mm c/c]
Top layer steel = 0.380 mm 2/mm [No.10 @250 mm c/c]
Note: Both these spacing of steel are less than the maximum permissible value of 450 mm [OK]
