Loads on the deck

Permanent action, this includes self weight of the structural elements. The density of reinforce
concrete was taken as 25kN/m3 (EN7). The nominal thickness of the surfacing, including water
proofing layer was taken as 25mm, the self weight of the kerbs and hand railing was also
included. Pedestrian traffic load of 5kN/m2 (THM 7 part 1 and 2) was use for this bridge design
exercise (see calculation sheet provided with the report for the calculation of the loads)
Design of the deck
Reinforced concrete is the concrete in which reinforcing bars (rebars) have been incorporated
to strengthen the concrete in tension. Concrete is strong in tension, but weak in tension, thus
adding reinforcement increases the strength in tension.
The reinforcement determined in this section is based on the maximum positive moment in the
slab and maximum negative moment over the cantilever (see the calculation sheet for
Group 2

diagrams). Shear checks was done using the maximum shear force, deflections was checked for
the cantilever and the simply supported part and these were found be within the range.
The following parameters were used for the analysis purpose and design.
Slab thickness = 150mm (note that this is the effective slab thickness ignoring surfacing
layer (i.e. integral wearing surface)
Surfacing thickens = 25 mm
Unit weight of concrete (concrete) = 25 kN/m3 ( EN 7)
Concrete cover = 40mm ( table 19 SABS 0100-2)
Kerbs =250 mm 250 mm
Fcu (cube strength) = 40 Mpa
Fy , Fyv (high tensile) =450 MPa
Design assumptions
The following assumptions were used for analysis and design purpose:
Assume the slab is simply supported and is spanning in on direction.
Self weight is based on the nominal dimension
Assume the slab thickness of 150mm and a surfacing thickness of 25mm.
Assume the self weight of the hand rail to be a point load acting at the center.
Ignore wind loading
Ignore thermal loading
Ignore reinforcement for shrinkage and temperature stress
