PROBLEM STATEMENT 204-3: FIND OUT SUPPORT REACTION/TRANSVERSE MOMENT FOR A 3 LANES
SIMPLY SUPPORTED BOX GIRDER BRIDGE (OF 10.5 M CARRIAGEWAY) AT SUPPORT DUE TO
FOLLOWING CARRIAGEWAY LIVE LOADS:
a) CLASS 70R (WHEELED) LOADING
b) CLASS 70R (TRACKED) LOADING
c) CLASS A LOADING
d) CONGESTION FACTOR LOAD AS PER CLAUSE 204.4
SOLUTION :
Congestion factor shall be considered only for 3 Lane carriageway. Design shall be checked with & without congestion factor.
Reduction factor for 3 Lane carriageway (table 8 of IRC 6) = 0.90
Congestion factor for 30m Span (Table 7 of IRC 6) = 1.15
* Transverse eccentrictiy shall be zero while considering congestion factor.
