Impact Load

This document provides guidance on impact or dynamic allowance for bridge design. It specifies that an impact allowance, expressed as a fraction or percentage of the applied live load, should be included in member design. For Class A and B loading, the impact percentage is determined from curves in Figure 9 based on span length. For Class AA and 70R loading, impact values range from 10-25% depending on span length and vehicle type.

208 IMPACT

208.1 Provision for impact or dynamic action shall be made by an increment of the live load
by an impact allowance expressed as a fraction or a percentage of the applied live load.

208.2 For Class A or Class B Loading

In the members of any bridge designed either for Class A or Class B loading (vide Clause
204.1 ), this impact percentage shall be determined from the curves indicated in Fig.9. The
impact· fraction shall be determined from the following equations which are applicable for
1
spans between 3 m and 45 m
45
i. Impact factor fraction for reinforced concrete bridges = 6+L
'

9
ii. Impact factor fraction for steel bridges =
13.5+L

Where L is length in meters of the span as specified in Clause 208.5

208.3 For Class AA Loading and Class 70R Loading

The value of the impact percentage shall be taken as follows:-

a) For spans less than 9 m


For tracked vehicles 25 percent for spans upto 5 m linearly reducing to
10 percent for spans upto 9 m
For wheeled vehicles 25 Percent
b) For spans of 9 m or more
i) Reinforced Concrete Bridges

1) Tracked Vehicles 10 percent upto a span of 40 m and in accordance


with the curve in Fig. 9 for spans in excess of 40 m
2) Wheeled Vehicles 25 percent for spans upto 12 m and in accordance
with the curve in Fig. 9 for spans in excess of 12 m.
ii) Steel Bridges

3) Tracked Vehicles 10 percent for all spans

4) Wheeled vehicles 25 percent for spans upto 23 m and in accordance


with the curve indicated in Fig. 9 for spans in
excess of 23 m
