Trang 1Live Loads for Bridges
In our previous discussions we mentioned that the
primary live loads on bridge spans are due to
traffic
The heaviest loads are those produced by large
transport trucks
The American Association of State and Highway
Transportation Officials (AASHTO) has a series of
specifications for truck loadings
Live Loads for Bridges
For two-axial trucks AASHTO designates these vehicles as H series trucks
For example, a H15-44 is a 15-ton truck as reported in the 1944 specifications
Trucks that pull trailers are designated as HS, for example HS 20-44 (a 20-ton semi-trailer truck)
In general, a truck loading depends on the type of bridge, its location, and the type of traffic
anticipated.

The size of the “standard truck” and the distribution of its
weight is reported in the AASHTO code

The number following the H designation is the gross weight

The AASHTO specifications also allow you to represent the truck as a single concentrated load and an uniform load
For H20-44 and HS20-44:
Concentrated load 18 kips for moment
26 kips for shear
Uniform loading 640 lb/ft of load lane
Trang 2Live Loads for Bridges
The AASHTO specifications also allow you to
represent the truck as a single concentrated load
and an uniform load
For H15-44 and HS15-44:
Concentrated load 13.5 kips for moment
19.5 kips for shear
Uniform loading 480 lb/ft of load lane
Live Loads for Bridges
You can probably see that once the loading has been selected, you have to determine the critical position of the truck on the structure (bridge)
This is an excellent application for influence
lines
Live Loads for Bridges
In many cases, vehicles may bounce or sway as
they move over a bridge
This motion produces an impact load on the
bridge
AASHTO has develop an impact factor to
increase the live load to account for the bounce
and sway of vehicles
50 0.3 125
I L
where L is the length of the span in feet
Live Loads for Bridges
Impact loading is intended to transfer loads from the superstructure to the substructure
Superstructures including legs of rigid frames
Piers excluding footings and those portions below ground line
Portions above ground line of concrete and steel piles that support the super structure
Live Loads for Bridges
Impact shall not be included in loads transferred to
footings or to those parts of piles or columns that
are below ground
Abutments, retaining walls, piles excepts as specified
Live Loads for Bridges
Example: Consider our standard AASHTO HS20-44 truck
traveling over the span of some structure.

Post-tensioning is, even so being a mature technology, still a fantastic tool for the design engineer to actively define the internal load path in concrete structures by superposing a favorable internal stress state This permits to minimize deformations, helps to increase slenderness of members, reduces reinforcement congestion, enables segmental construction without need for wet joints and allows the use of high strength steel
This brochure gives an overview of the available post-tensioning systems and their fields of application It provides guidance to
practising engineers in the design of post-tensioned structures using VSL post-tensioning systems
VSL is a recognised leader in the field of special construction systems Well proven technical systems and sound in-house engineering are the basis of the group’s acknowledged reputation for innovative conceptual structural solutions VSL has developed, manufactured and installed durable, state-of-the-art post-tensioning systems for over 60 years The VSL post-tensioning systems comply with
international standards and approval guidelines for use on both new and existing structures
VSL does not only select and offer the best suited post-tensioning hardware and layout for a given project but proposes also innovative detailing of the permanent work and construction techniques with the aim to improve durability, increase site safety and reduce construction time and costs
VSL likes to work in partnership with owners and clients right from the conceptual stage VSL’s engineers can work closely with the design engineer during the design development stage and with the contractor's estimating team during the tender stage What
differentiates VSL from other players in the market, is its holistic approach, which is fundamental in arriving at well balanced technical solutions respecting equally permanent work and construction aspects VSL’s biggest asset however is the quality of its highly
experienced, multicultural staff

VSL Multistrand
Post-Tensioning
Trang 138 ///
Trang 14The VSL Multistrand system comprises from three to fifty-five strands (either 12.7 or 15.2mm diameter), round duct and anchorages Prestressing force is applied to the tendons after the casting and curing of surrounding concrete All strands are stressed simultaneously using a hydraulic jack and are fastened at the live end by wedge grips The free space inside the duct is then pressure-filled with cement grout
A number of features are incorporated as a result of many years of experience in the field:
Stressing carried out in any number of stages;
Accurate control of prestress force;
No need to determine tendon length in advance;
Simultaneous stressing of all strands in a tendon, with individual locking of each strand at the anchorage point; VSL stressing equipment is easily operated to ensure a safe and rapid stressing procedures Special emphasis has been placed on rationalised manufacturing of equipment and anchorage parts as well as efficient work site practice

For conventional applications, corrugated galvanised steel ducts are used.For diameters of steel ducts refer to page 10 For applications requiring enhanced corrosion protection and improved fatigue resistance of the tendons, the use of the VSL PT- PLUS® System with corrugated plastic duct can provide a number of important advantages This fully encapsulated, watertight system offers outstanding corrosion protection, and the plastic duct eliminates fretting fatigue between the strand and duct It also provides reduced duct friction The PT-PLUS™ System may be configured with special details and
installation techniques to provide Electrically Isolated Tendons (refer to GC system in VSL International Technical Catalogue) These tendons may be electrically monitored at any time throughout the life of the structure
All ducts are manufactured in a variety of standard lengths and are coupled on site

Post-Tensioning
Trang 2520 ///
Trang 26VSL post-tensioning offers economies over other systems, especially when construction cycles are considered There is less material handling on site, reducing site labour force which reduces site activity congestion
Most importantly, there is the quality and service of VSL specialised high-performance site teams and unequalled back-up The VSL post-tensioning slab system has been used in many thousands of buildings and other structures throughout
Australia The system uses up to five strands in flat-shaped ducting and anchorages
Strands are stressed individually and then gripped by wedge action The entire duct is subsequently fully filled with cement grout injected under pressure so that the strands are fully bonded to the surrounding concrete

The friction losses in the anchorage due to curvature of the strand and friction of the strand in the wedges usually amount to:
Edge stressing: 3% average
Internal pocket stressing: 5% average
Frictional losses along the tendon can vary fairly widely and depend upon several factors, including the nature and surface condition of the prestressing steel; the type, diameter and surface conditions of the duct and the installation method The following values may be assumed for design:
Tendon in conventional steel ducts: µ = 0.20
Tendon in PT-PLUS® duct: µ = 0.12

VSL Soil Anchors are used in alluvial soils, stiff clays or highly weathered rock The ultimate capacity of these anchors is determined by the capability of the ground in the bond zone to transfer the load from the anchor Anchor details are similar
to rock anchors
VSL Soil Nails are used to reinforce soil in an excavation or embankment They are formed by inserting VSL Bar into a drilled hole which is filled with cement grout Corrosion protection similar to ground anchors can be provided depending on the application Soil nails have no or only nominal initial applied force
VSL Rock Bolts are used to strengthen and stabilise jointed rock, and to stabilise defined blocks of rock They are formed by inserting VSL Bar into a drilled hole and anchoring it in place with either a mechanical anchorage, a chemical anchorage or cement grout The bar is stressed to apply an initial force
