Chapter 1 Introduction

This manual describes using SAP2000/Bridge to complete bridge design in accordance with the AASHTO STD 2002 or AASHTO LRFD 2007 code for concrete box girder bridges or the AASHTO 2007 LRFD code for bridges when the superstructure includes Precast I or U Beam with a composite slab. Design using SAP2000/Bridge is based on load patterns, load cases, load combinations and design requests. The design output can then be displayed graphically and printed using a customized reporting format. It should be noted that the design of bridge superstructure is a complex subject and the design codes cover many aspects of this process. SAP2000/Bridge is a tool to help the user with that process. Only the aspects of design documented in this manual are automated by the SAP2000/Bridge design capabilities. The user must check the results produced and address other aspects not covered by SAP2000/Bridge.

1.1

Organization This manual is designed to help you become productive using SAP2000/Bridge design in accordance with the available codes when modeling concrete box girder bridges and precast concrete girder bridges. Chapter 2 describes loading and load combinations. Chapter 3 describes Live Load Distribution Factors.

1-1

SAP2000/Bridge Superstructure Design Guide Chapter 4 describes defining the design request, which includes the design request name, a bridge object name (i.e., the bridge model), check type (i.e., the type of design), station range (i.e., portion of the bridge to be designed), design parameters (i.e., overwrites for default parameters) and demand sets (i.e., loading combinations). Chapters 5 and 6 provide the algorithms used by SAP2000/Bridge in completing concrete box girder and precast concrete bridge design in accordance with the AASHTO code. Chapter 7 explains how to run a Design Request. Chapter 8 describes design output, which can be presented graphically as plots, in data tables, and in reports generated using the Advanced Report Writer feature in SAP2000.

1.2

Recommended Reading/Practice It is strongly recommended that you read this manual and review any applicable “Watch & Learn” Series™ tutorials, which are found on our web site, http://www.csiberkeley.com, before attempting to design a concrete box girder or precast concrete bridge using SAP2000/Bridge. Additional information can be found in the on-line Help facility available from within the software’s main menu.

Chapter 2 Define Loads and Load Combinations

This chapter describes the steps that are necessary to define the loads and load combinations that the user intends to use in the design of the bridge superstructure. The user may define the load combinations manually or have SAP2000/Bridge automatically generate the code generated load combinations. The appropriate design code may be selected using the Design menu > Bridge Design > View/Revise Preference command. Currently, the AASHTO STD 2002 and AASHTO LRFD 2007 design codes are supported by SAP2000/ Bridge. When the code generated load combinations are going to be used, it is important for users to define the load pattern type in accordance with the applicable code. The load pattern type can be defined using the Define menu > Load Patterns command. The user options for defining the load pattern types are summarized in the tables 2-1 and 2-2.

2.1

Load Pattern Types Tables 2-1 and 2-2 show the permanent and transient load pattern types that can be defined in SAP2000/Bridge. The tables also show the AASHTO abbreviation and the load pattern descriptions. Users may choose any name to identify a load pattern type.

Two combinations for each permanent load pattern are required because of the maximum and minimum factors. When the default load combinations are used, SAP2000/Bridge automatically creates both load combinations (one for the maximum and one for the minimum factor), and then automatically creates a third combination that represents an enveloped combination of the max/min combos.

2.3

Default Load Combinations Default design load combinations can be activated using the Define menu > Load Combination command. Users can set the load combination data after the Add Default Design Combos button is selected and the “Bridge” option is chosen. The users may select the desired limit states and load cases using the Code Generated Load Combinations for Bridge Design form shown in Figure 2-1.

Chapter 3 Determine Live Load Distribution Factors

This chapter describes the algorithms used by SAP2000/Bridge to determine the live load distribution factors used to assign live load demands to individual girders. An explanation is given with respect to how the distribution factors are applied in a shear, stress, and moment check in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD 2007 code. The live load distribution factors are applicable only to superstructures that have a deck that includes precast I or U girders with composite slabs. Legend: Girder = beam + tributary area of composite slab Section Cut = all girders present in the cross-section at the cut location

3.1

Algorithm for Determining Live Load Distribution Factors (LLDF) SAP2000 gives the user a choice of four methods to address distribution of live load to individual girders. Method 1 – The LLD factors are specified directly by the user. Method 2 – SAP2000/Bridge calculates the LLD factors by following procedures outlined in AASHTO LRFD Section 4.6.2.2.

Algorithm for Determining Live Load Distribution Factors (LLDF)

3-1

SAP2000/Bridge Superstructure Design Guide

Method 3 – SAP2000/Bridge reads the calculated live load demands directly from individual girders (available only for Area or Solid models). Method 4 – SAP2000/Bridge distributes the live load uniformly into all girders. It is important to note that to obtain relevant results, the definition of a Moving Load case must be adjusted depending on which method is selected.  When the LLD factors are user specified or specified in accordance with the code (Method 1 or 2), only one lane with a MultiLane Scale Factor = 1 should be loaded into a Moving Load cases included in the demand set combinations.  When SAP2000/Bridge reads the LLD factors directly from individual girders (Method 3, applicable to area and solid models only) or when SAP2000/Bridge applies the LLD factors uniformly (Method 4), multiple traffic lanes with relevant Multilane Scale Factors should be loaded in accordance with code requirements.

3.2

Determine Live Load Distribution Factors At every section cut, the following geometric information is evaluated to determine the LLD factors.  span lengththe length of span for which moment or shear is being calculated  the number of girders  girder designationthe first and last girder are designated as exterior girders and the other girders are classified as interior girders  roadway widthmeasured as the distance between curbs/barriers; medians are ignored  overhangconsists of the horizontal distance from the centerline of the exterior web of the left exterior beam at deck level to the interior edge of the curb or traffic barrier

3-2

Determine Live Load Distribution Factors

Chapter 3 - Determine Live Load Distribution Factors

 the beamsincludes the area, moment of inertia, torsion constant, center of gravity  the thickness of the composite slab t1 and the thickness of concrete slab haunch t2  the tributary area of the composite slabwhich is bounded at the interior girder by the midway distances to neighboring girders and at the exterior girder; includes the entire overhang on one side, and is bounded by the midway distances to neighboring girder on the other side  Young’s modulus for both the slab and the beamsangle of skew support. SAP2000/Bridge then evaluates the longitudinal stiffness parameter, Kg, in accordance with AASHTO LRFD 4.6.2.2 (eq. 4.6.2.2.1-1). The center of gravity of the composite slab measured from the bottom of the beam is calculated as the sum of the beam depth, thickness of the concrete slab haunch t2, and onehalf the thickness of the composite slab t1. Spacing of the girders is calculated as the average distance between the centerlines of neighboring girders. SAP2000/Bridge then verifies that the selected LLD factors are compatible with the type of model: spine, area, or solid. If the LLD factors are read by SAP2000/Bridge directly from the individual girders, the model type must be area or solid. This is the case because with the spine model option, SAP2000/Bridge models the entire cross section as one frame element and there is no way to extract forces on individual girders. All other model types and LLDF method permutations are allowed.

3.3

Apply LLD Factors The application of live load distribution factors varies, depending on which method has been selected: user specified; in accordance with code; directly from individual girders; or uniformly distributed onto all girders.

Apply LLD Factors

3-3

SAP2000/Bridge Superstructure Design Guide

3.3.1 User Specified When this method is selected, SAP2000/Bridge reads the girder designations (i.e., exterior and interior) and assigns live load distribution factors to the individual girders accordingly.

3.3.2 Calculated by SAP2000/Bridge in Accordance with Code When this method is selected, SAP2000/Bridge considers the data input by the user for truck wheel spacing, minimum distance from wheel to curb/barrier and multiple presence factor for one loaded lane. Depending on the section type, SAP2000/Bridge validates several section parameters against requirements specified in the code (Tables 4.6.2.2.2b-1, 4.6.2.2.2d-1, 4.6.2.2.3a-1 and 4.6.2.2.3b-1). When any of the parameters values are outside the range required by the code, the section cut is excluded from the Design Request. At every section cut, SAP2000/Bridge then evaluates the live load distribution factors for moment and shear for exterior and interior girders using formulas specified in the code (Tables 4.6.2.2.2b-1, 4.6.2.2.2d-1, 4.6.2.2.3a-1 and 4.6.2.2.3b-1). After evaluation, the LLDF values are assigned to individual girders based on their designation (exterior, interior). The same value equal to the average of the LLDF calculated for the left and right girders is assigned to both exterior girders. Similarly, all interior girders use the same LLDF equal to the average of the LLDF of all of the individual interior girders.

3.3.3 Forces Read Directly from Girders When this method is selected, SAP2000/Bridge sets the live load distribution factor for all girders to 1.

3.3.4 Uniformly Distributed to Girders When this method is selected, the live load distribution factor is equal to 1/n where n is the number of girders in the section. All girders have identical LLD factors disregarding their designation (exterior, interior) and demand type (shear, moment).

3-4

Apply LLD Factors

Chapter 3 - Determine Live Load Distribution Factors

3.4

Generate Virtual Combinations When the method for determining the live load distribution factors is userspecified, code-specified, or uniformly distributed (Methods 1, 2 or 4), SAP2000/Bridge generates virtual load combination for every valid section cut selected for design. The virtual combinations are used during a stress check and check of the shear and moment to calculate the forces on the girders. After those forces have been calculated, the virtual combination are deleted. The process is repeated for all section cuts selected for design. Four virtual COMBO cases are generated for each COMBO that the user has specified in the Design Request (see Chapter 4). The program analyzes the design type of each load case present in the user specified COMBO and multiplies all non-moving load case types by 1/n (where n is the number of girders) and the moving load case type by the section cut values of the LLD factors (exterior moment, exterior shear, interior moment and interior shear LLD factors). This ensures that dead load is shared evenly by all girders, while live load is distributed based on the LLD factors. The program then completes a stress check and a check of the shear and the moment for each section cut selected for design.

3.4.1 Stress Check At the Section Cut being analyzed, the girder stresses at all stress output points are read from SAP2000/Bridge for every virtual COMBO generated. To ensure that live load demands are shared equally irrespective of lane eccentricity by all girders, SAP2000/Bridge uses averaging when calculating the girder stresses. It calculates the stresses on a beam by integrating axial and M3 moment demands on all the beams in the entire section cut and dividing the demands by the number of girders. Similarly, P and M3 forces in the composite slab are integrated and stresses are calculated in the individual tributary areas of the slab by dividing the total slab demand by the number of girders. When stresses are read from SAP2000/Bridge into the SAPBridgeDesign module, the stresses are multiplied by n (where n is number of girders) to make up for the reduction applied in the Virtual Combinations.

Generate Virtual Combinations

3-5

SAP2000/Bridge Superstructure Design Guide

3.4.2 Shear or Moment Check At the Section Cut being analyzed, the entire section cut forces are read from SAP2000/Bridge for every Virtual COMBO generated. The forces are assigned to individual girders based on their designation. (Forces from two virtual Combinationsone for shear and one for momentgenerated for exterior beam are assigned to both exterior beams, and similarly, Virtual Combinations for interior beams are assigned to interior beams.)

3.5

Read Forces/Stresses Directly from Girders When the method for determining the live load distribution is based on forces read directly from the girders, the method varies based on which Design Check has been specified in the Design Request (see Chapter 4).

3.5.1 Stress Check At the Section Cut being analyzed, the girder stresses at all stress output points are read from SAP2000/Bridge for every COMBO specified in the Design Request. SAP2000/Bridge calculates the stresses on a beam by integrating axial, M3 and M2 moment demands on the beam at the center of gravity of the beam. Similarly P, M3 and M2 demands in the composite slab are integrated at the center of gravity of the slab tributary area.

3.5.2 Shear or Moment Check At the Section Cut being analyzed, the girder forces are read from SAP2000/ Bridge for every COMBO specified in the Design Request. SAP2000/Bridge calculates the demands on a girder by integrating axial, M3 and M2 moment demands on the girder at the center of gravity of the girder.

LLDF Design Example Using Method 2 The AASHTO-LRFD Specifications allow the use of advanced methods of analysis to determine the live load distribution factors. However, for typical bridges, the specifications list equations to calculate the distribution factors for different types of bridge superstructures. The types of superstructures covered by these equations are described in Table 4.6.2.2.1-1. From this table, bridges with concrete decks supported on precast concrete I or bulb-tee girders are designated as cross-section “K.” Other tables in 4.6.2.2.2 list the distribution factors for interior and exterior girders including cross-section “K.” The distribution factor equations are largely based on work conducted in the NCHRP Project 12-26 and have been verified to give accurate results compared to 3-dimensional bridge analysis and field measurements. The multiple presence factors are already included in the distribution factor equations except when the tables call for the use of the lever rule. In these cases, the computations need to account for the multiple presence factors. The user is providing those as part of the Design Request definition together with wheel spacing, curb to wheel distance and lane width. Notice that the distribution factor tables include a column with the heading “range of applicability”. The ranges of applicability listed for each equation are based on the range for each parameter used in the study leading to the development of the equation. When any of the parameters exceeds the listed value in the “range of applicability” column, SAP2000 reports the incompliance and excludes the section from design. Article 4.6.2.2.2d of the specifications states: “In beam-slab bridge crosssections with diaphragms or cross-frames, the distribution factor for the exterior beam shall not be taken less than that which would be obtained by assuming that the cross-section deflects and rotates as a rigid cross-section.” This provision was added to the specifications because the original study that developed the distribution factor equations did not consider intermediate diaphragms. Application of this provision requires the presence of a sufficient number of intermediate diaphragms whose stiffness is adequate to force the cross section to act as a rigid section. For prestressed girders, different jurisdictions use different types and numbers of intermediate diaphragms. Depending on the number and stiffness of the intermediate diaphragms, the provisions of 4.6.2.2.2d may not be applicable. If the user specifies option “Yes” in the LLDF Design Example Using Method 2

“Diaphragms Present” option the program follows the procedure outlined in the provision 4.6.2.2.2d. For this example, one deep reinforced concrete diaphragm is located at the midspan of each span. The stiffness of the diaphragm was deemed sufficient to force the cross-section to act as a rigid section; therefore, the provisions of S4.6.2.2.2d apply.

Notice that the distribution factor calculated above for a single lane loaded already includes the 1.2 multiple presence factor for a single lane, therefore, this value may be used for the service and strength limit states. However, multiple presence factors should not be used for the fatigue limit state. Therefore, the multiple presence factor of 1.2 for the single lane is required to be removed from the value calculated above to determine the factor used for the fatigue limit state. 6.

Skew correction factor for shear. In accordance with 4.6.2.2.3c, a skew correction factor for support shear at the obtuse corner must be applied to the distribution factor of all skewed bridges. The value of the correction factor is calculated using Table 4.6.2.2.3c-1.

Chapter 4 Define a Bridge Design Requests

This chapter describes the Bridge Design Request, which is defined using the Define menu > Bridge Design > Define Design Request command. Each Bridge Design Request is unique and specifies which bridge object is to be designed, the type of check to be performed (e.g., concrete box stress, precast composite stress, and so on), the station range (i.e., the particular zone or portion of the bridge that is to be designed), the design parameters (i.e., parameters that may be used to overwrite the default values automatically set by the program) and demand sets (i.e., the load combination[s] to be considered). Multiple Bridge Design Requests may be defined for the same bridge object. Before defining a design request, the applicable code should be specified using the Design menu > Bridge Design > View/Revise Preferences command. Currently, the AASHTO STD 2002 or AASHTO LRFD 2007 code is available for a design of a concrete box girder or the AASHTO 2007 LRFD code is available for the design of a Precast I or U Beam with Composite Slab superstructure. Figure 4-1 shows the Bridge Design Request form when the bridge object is for a concrete box girder bridge, and the check type is concrete box stress. Figure 4-2 shows the Bridge Design Request form when the bridge object is for a Composite I or U girder bridge and the check type is precast composite stress.

Chapter 4 - Define a Bridge Design Requests

4.1

Name and Bridge Object Each Bridge Design Request must have unique name. Any name can be used. If multiple Bridge Objects are used to define a bridge model, select the bridge object to be designed for the Design Request. If a bridge model contains only a single bridge object, the name of that bridge object will be the only item available from the Bridge Object drop-down list.

4.2

Check Type The Check Type refers to the type of design to be performed and the available options depend on the type of bridge deck being modeled. For a Concrete Box Girder bridge, SAP2000/Bridge provides the following check type options: AASHTO STD 2002  Concrete Box Stress AASHTO LRFD 2007  Concrete Box Stress  Concrete Box Flexure  Concrete Box Shear and Torsion  Concrete Box Principal For bridge models with precast I or U Beams with Composite Slabs, SAP2000/Bridge provides three check type options, as followings: AASHTO LRFD 2007  Precast Comp Stress  Precast Comp Shear  Precast Comp Flexure

Name and Bridge Object

SAP2000/Bridge Superstructure Design Guide

The bold type denotes the name that appears in the check type drop-down list. A detailed description of the design algorithm can be found in Chapter 5 for Concrete Box Girder Bridges and in Chapter 6 for Precast I or U Beam with Composite Slabs.

4.3

Station Range The station range refers to the particular zone or portion of the bridge that is to be designed. The user may choose the entire length of the bridge, or specify specific zones using station ranges. Multiple zones (i.e., station ranges) may be specified as part of a single design request. When defining a station range, the user specifies the Location Type, which determines if the superstructure forces are to be considered before or at a station point. The user may choose the location type as before the point, after the point or both.

4.4

Design Parameters Design parameters are overwrites that can be used to change the default values set automatically by the program. The parameters are specific to each code, deck type, and check type. Figure 4-3 shows the Superstructure Design Parameters form.

5.1.2 Demand Parameters FactorCompLim – percentage of the basic unit stress for compression service design; Default value = 1.0; Typical values 1.0 to 1.5 The demand compressive stresses are divided by the FactorCompLim factor. This way the controlling stress can be selected and compared against one compression limit. FactorTensLim – percentage of the basic unit stress for tension service design; Default value = 1.0; Typical values 1.0 to 1.5 The demand tensile stresses are divided by the FactorCompLim factor. This way the controlling stress can be selected and compared against one tension limit.

5.1.3 Algorithm The stresses are evaluated at three points at the top fiber and three points at the bottom fiber. The location of the points are extreme left, Bridge Layout Line and extreme right. The stresses assume linear distribution and take into account axial (P) and both bending moments (M2 and M3). The stresses are evaluated for each demand set. If the demand set contains live load, the program positions the load to capture extreme stress at each of the evaluation points. The stresses are divided by the appropriate demand parameter. Then extremes are found for each point and the controlling demand set name is recorded. The stress limits are evaluated by applying the Capacity Parameters (see section 5.1.1).

The natural relationship between concrete stress and strain is considered satisfied by an equivalent rectangular concrete compressive stress block of 0.85 f c over a zone bounded by the edges of the cross-section and a straight line located parallel to the neutral axis at the distance a = β1c from the extreme compression fiber. The distance c is measured perpendicular to the neutral axis. The factor β1 is taken as 0.85 for concrete strengths not exceeding 4.0 ksi. For concrete strengths exceeding 4.0

ksi, β1 is reduced at a rate of 0.05 for each 1.0 ksi of strength in excess of 4.0 ksi, except that β1 is not to be taken to be less than 0.65. The flexural resistance is determined in accordance with Paragraph 5.7.3.2. The resistance is evaluated only for bending about horizontal axis 3. Separate capacity is calculated for positive and negative moment. The capacity is based only on bonded tendons defined in the Bridge Object. Mild steel reinforcement is not considered. If there is no prestressing in the tension zone of the section, the capacity is reported as zero. It is assumed that all defined tendons in a section, stressed or not, have fpe (effective stress after loses) larger than 0.5 fpu (specified tensile strength). If a certain tendon should not be considered for the flexural capacity calculation, its area must be set to zero. The section properties are calculated for the section before skew, grade, and superelevation are applied. This is consistent with the demands being reported in section local axis. It is assumed that the effective width of the flange (slab) in compression is equal to the width of the slab.

5.4.3 Design Process The shear resistance is determined in accordance with Paragraph 5.8.6 (Shear and Torsion for Segmental Box Girder Bridges). The procedure is not applicable to discontinuity regions and applies only to sections where it is reasonable to assume that plane sections remain plane after loading. The user should select for design only those sections that comply with the preceding assumptions by defining appropriate station ranges in the Bridge Design Request. If the option to consider resal effects is activated, the component of inclined flexural compression or tension, in the direction of the demand shear, in variable depth members is considered when determining the design section shear force (paragraph 5.8.6.1). The section design shear force is distributed into individual webs assuming that the vertical shear that is carried by a web decreases with increased inclination of the web from vertical. Section torsion moments are assigned to external webs and slabs. The rebar area and ratio are calculated using measurements normal to the web. Thus, vertical shear forces are divided by cos(alpha_web). The rebar area calculated is the actual, normal cross-section of the bars. The rebar ratio is calculated using the normal width of the web, tweb = bweb  cos(alpha_web). The effects of ducts in members are considered in accordance with paragraph 5.8.6.1. In determining the web or flange effective thickness, be, one-half of the diameters of ducts is subtracted. All defined tendons in a section, stressed or not, are assumed to be grouted. Each tendon at a section is checked for presence in the web or flange and the minimum controlling effective web and flange thicknesses are evaluated.

5 - 16

Design Shear AASHTO-LRFD-2007

Chapter 5 - Design Concrete Box Girder Bridges

The tendon duct is considered as having effect on the web or flange effective thickness even if only part of the duct is within the element boundaries. In such cases, the entire one-half of the tendon duct diameter is subtracted from the element thickness If several tendon ducts overlap in one flange or web (when projected on the horizontal axis for flange, or when projected on vertical axis for the web), the diameters of ducts are added for the sake of evaluation of the effective thickness. In the web, the effective web thickness is calculated at the top and bottom of each duct; in the flange, the effective thickness is evaluated at the left and right side of the duct. The Shear and Torsion Design is completed first on a per web basis. Rebar needed for individual webs is then summed and reported for the entire section. The D/C ratio is calculated for each web. Then the shear area of all webs is summed and the entire section D/C is calculated. Therefore, the controlling section D/C does not have to necessarily match the controlling web D/C (in other words, other webs can make up the capacity for a “weak” web).

5.4.4 Algorithm  All section properties and demands are converted from SAP2000 model units to N, mm.  If the option to consider resal effects is activated, the component of inclined flexural compression or tension, in the direction of the demand shear, in variable depth members is evaluated as follows:

FactorTensLim – Percentage of the basic unit stress for tension service design; Default value = 1.0; Typical values 1.0 to 1.5. The demand tensile stresses are divided by the FactorCompLim factor. This way the controlling stress can be selected and compared against one tension limit.

5.5.3 Algorithm The principal stresses are evaluated at three points at each web: the web centerline at the bottom of the top slab; web centerline at the top of the bottom slab; and web centerline at the section neutral axis. The principal stresses are evaluated for each demand set using the Mohr circle to combine bending, shear, and torsion stresses. The bending stresses assume linear distribution and take into account axial (P) and both bending moments (M2 and M3). The shear flow is calculated internally by the program taking into account section properties at the elevation of the stress point. A shear scale factor is used to convert the total shear flow acting at an elevation (ycoordinate) to tangential shear stress in the web. The scale factor is equal to the web shear-distribution factor divided by the cosine of the angle of inclination of the web from vertical, and divided again by the design width of the web.

The location is labeled in the output plots and tables. Concrete strength f c is read at every point and compression and tension limits are evaluated using the FactorCompLim - f c multiplier and FactorTensLim f ' c multiplier.

The stresses assume linear distribution and take into account axial (P) and either both bending moments (M2 and M3) or only P and M3, depending on which method for determining LLDF has been specified in the design request (see Chapters 3 and 4). The stresses are evaluated for each demand set. Extremes are found for each point and the controlling demand set name is recorded. The stress limits are evaluated by applying the preceding Capacity Parameters.

Chapter 6 - Design Precast Concrete Girder Bridges

6.2.2 Design Process The shear resistance is determined in accordance with paragrah 5.8.3.4.2 (derived from Modified Compression Field Theory). The procedure assumes that the concrete shear stresses are distributed uniformly over an area bv wide and dv deep, that the direction of principal compressive stresses (defined by angle θ and shown as D) remains constant over dv, and that the shear strength of the section can be determined by considering the biaxial stress conditions at just one location in the web. The user should select for design only those sections that comply with these assumptions by defining appropriate station ranges in the design request (see Chapter 4). It is assumed that the precast beams are pre-tensioned, and therefore, no ducts are present in webs. The effective web width is taken as the minimum web width, measured parallel to the neutral axis, between the resultants of the tensile and compressive forces as a result of flexure. Shear design is completed on a per-girder basis. Please refer to Chapter 3 for a description of the live load distribution to individual girders.

6.2.3 Algorithms  All section properties and demands are converted from SAP2000 model units to N, mm.  For every COMBO specified in the Design Request that contains envelopes, a new force demand set is generated. The new force demand set is built up from the maximum tension values of P and the maximum absolute values of V2 and M3 of the two StepTypes (Max and Min) present in the envelope COMBO case. The StepType of this new force demand set is named ABS and the signs of the P, V2 and M3 are preserved. The ABS case follows the industry practice where sections are designed for extreme shear and moments that are not necessarily corresponding to the same design vehicle position. The section cut is designed for all three StepTypes in the COMBOMax, Min and ABSand the controlling StepType is reported.  The component in the direction of the applied shear of the effective prestressing force, positive if resisting the applied shear, is evaluated:

6.3.2 Design Process The derivation of the moment resistance of the section is based on approximate stress distribution specified in Article 5.7.2.2. The natural relationship between concrete stress and strain is considered satisfied by an equivalent rectangular concrete compressive stress block of 0.85 fc over a zone bounded by the edges of the cross-section and a straight line located parallel to the neutral axis at the distance a = β1c from the extreme compression fiber. The distance c is measured perpendicular to the neutral axis. The factor β1 is taken as 0.85 for concrete strengths not exceeding 4.0 ksi. For concrete strengths exceeding 4.0 ksi, β1 is reduced at a rate of 0.05 for each 1.0 ksi of strength in excess of 4.0 ksi, except that β1 is not be taken to be less than 0.65. The flexural resistance is determined according to paragraph 5.7.3.2. The resistance is evaluated only for bending about horizontal axis 3. Separate capacity is calculated for positive and negative moment. The capacity is based only on bonded tendons defined in the Bridge Object. Mild steel reinforcement is not considered. If there is no prestressing in the tension zone of the section, the capacity is reported as zero. It is assumed that all defined tendons in a section, stressed or not, have fpe (effective stress after loses) larger than 0.5 fpu (specified tensile strength). If a certain tendon should not be considered for the flexural capacity calculation, its area must be set to zero.

SAP200/Bridge Superstructure Design Guide

The section properties are calculated for the section before skew, grade, and superelevation are applied. This is consistent with the demands being reported in section local axis. It is assumed that the effective width of the flange (slab) in compression is equal to the width of the slab.

6.3.3 Algorithms At each section:  All section properties and demands are converted from SAP2000 model units to N, mm.  1 stress block factor is evaluated per 5.7.2.2 based on section fc

If f c >28 MPa, then 1  max(0.85 

else 1  0.85  The tendon location, area and material are read. Only bonded tendons are processed, unbonded tendons are ignored.

Tendons are split into two groups depending on what sign of moment they resistnegative or positive. A tendon is considered to resist a positive moment when it is located outside of the top fiber compression stress block and is considered to resist a negative moment when it is located outside of the bottom fiber compression stress block. The compression stress block extends over a zone bounded by the edges of the cross-section and a straight line located parallel to the neutral axis at the distance a = β1c from the extreme compression fiber. The distance c is measured perpendicular to the neutral axis. For each tendon group, an area weighted average of the following values is determined: - sum of tendon areas APT - center of gravity of tendons yPT - specified tensile strength of prestressing steel f pu

The distance c is compared to the slab thickness. If the distance to the neutral axis c is larger than the composite slab thickness, the distance c is reevaluated. For this calculation, the beam flange width and area are converted to their equivalents in slab concrete by multiplying the beam flange width by the modular ratio between the precast girder concrete and the slab concrete. The web width in the equation for c is substituted for the effective converted girder flange width. The distance c is recalculated in accordance with (eq. 5.7.3.1.1-3).

This important step allows control over the size of the report to be generated. Export only those tables to be included in the final report. However, it is possible to export larger quantities of data and then use the Advanced Report Writer to select only specific data sets for individual reports, thus creating multiple smaller reports. For this example, only the Bridge Data (input) and Concrete Box Flexure design (output) are exported. After the data tables have been exported and saved to an appropriate location, click the File menu > Advanced Report Writer command to display a form similar to that show in Figure 8-5. Click the appropriate button (e.g., Find existing DB File, Convert Excel File, Convert Text File) and locate the exported data tables. The tables within that Database, Excel, or Text file will be listed in the List of Tables in Current Database File display box.
