Assume That Both The Self Weight And The Live Loads Applied To The Deck Are Uniformly Distributed Along The Span Of The 1 (449.08 KiB) Viewed 45 times

Assume that both the self-weight and the live loads applied to the deck are uniformly distributed along the span of the bridge. For the dead loads (DL) use a safety factor of 1.35 and for the live loads (LL) use a safety factor of 1.5. Use Eurocode o to determine what the loads acting on the bridge. Clearly state the assumptions that you have adopted for designing the bridge and employ the permissible stress approach. Choose the appropriate materials and element cross-sections. Consider only the stresses acting normal to the cross-sections you are designing. calculate the internal actions developing along the members of the structure. Try to achieve a safety factor of 2 (factor of safety = fx/ omax where fx is the yield stress of the material in compression or tension and omax is the maximum value of stress developing in the cross- sessions considered).
