This is your first day at your new job as a Bridge Engineer at WSP, Thunder Bay. Your manager saw your resume and found that you took the Bridge Engineering course. Your manager asks for your help to check the shear capacity of an exterior NU 2400 girder? The girder is subjected to a factored shear force of P KN, factored moment of 6715 kN.m, and axial load of 150kN. The girder has stirrup area A = 500mm’ at a spacing of s= 300mm. The following information are provided to help with your calculation: fo=65 MPa; fy = 400 MPa; fpu = 1860 MPa; Es= 200000 MPa; Ep= 190000 MPa; Vp = 154 kN; d = 2076mm; b= = 185mm; As = 0 mm? Girder is prestressed with 52 strands in the bottom flange, 17 of which are deviated. Each strand has a cross sectional area of 120mm? Check if the girder has adequate shear capacity.
