PROBLEM STATEMENT 211‐2 : TO FIND OUT MAXIMUM HORIZONTAL FORCE INDUCED AT INTERMEDIATE
PIER SUPPORTING SIMPLE SPANS FROM ITS RIGHT (R) AND LEFT (L) SIDES THROUGH 'FIXED' & 'FREE'
BEARINGS RESPECTIVELY ON UNYIELDING SUPPORTS FOR A 2‐LANE BOX GIRDER BRIDGE HAVING
FOLLOWING SALIENT DATA.
SALIENT DATA :
Span Description Left Span Right Span
Overall Span Length (L, c/c exp. Gap) = LL0 31.5 m LR0 41.5 m
Effective Span Length(Leff.) = LL 30.0 m L R 40.0 m
Dead Load of the Deck including SIDL = (UDL)L 200 KN/m (UDL)R 220 KN/m
Width of Expansion Joint = 40 mm
Coefficient of Friction between Teflon & 0.03
= (Whichever governs)
Stainless steel () 0.05
Types of Loading :
a) Class 70R (Wheeled) Loading
b) Class A‐2Lane Loading
c) Special Vehicle Loading
SOLUTION :
Max. Dead Load Reaction at Support 'B' (Rgb) = 3150 KN
Max. Dead Load Reaction at Support 'D' (Rgd) = 4565 KN
