    To calculate the HA loading and bending moment for a bridge deck: 1. Determine the number of notional lanes based on carriageway width, and calculate the distributed load per lane. 2. Calculate the knife edge load and apply load factors to determine the design HA loading and maximum bending moment at midspan. 3. Check the HB loading by modeling a standard 30 unit HB vehicle, calculating the reaction forces and maximum moment, then applying load factors to determine the design moment per meter width. In this example, the HB loading governs design.

    Clause 6.2 Type HA Loading

    Problem:
    How do you work out the HA loading and bending moment for a bridge deck ?
    Example:
    Carriageway = 6m wide
    Deck span = 34m (centre to centre of bearings for a simply supported single span)

    Design for a metre width of deck :


    Cl 3.2.9.3.1.
    Number of notional lanes = 2
    Notional lane width = 6.0/2 = 3.0m
    Cl 6.2.1.
    Loaded length = 34m
    W = 336(1/L)0.67 kN/m (per notional lane)
    W = 31.6 kN/m (per notional lane)
    Cl 6.2.2.
    Knife Edge Load = 120 kN (per notional lane)
    Cl 6.4.1.1.
    α2 = 0.0137[bL(40-L)+3.65(L-20)]
    α2 = 0.0137[3.0(40-34.0)+3.65(34.0-20)] = 0.947
    Note: For loaded lengths less than 20m the load is proportioned to a standard lane width of
    3.65m, i.e. 0.274bL = bL/3.65.
    For a metre width of deck :
    W = (31.6 x 0.947)/3.0 = 10.0 kN/m
    KEL = (120 x 0.947)/3.0 = 37.88 kN
    Cl 6.2.7.
    γfL = 1.50 (Ultimate limit state - combination 1)

    Design HA loading for a metre width of deck :


    W = 1.5 x 10.0 = 15.0 kN/m
    KEL = 1.5 x 37.88 = 56.82 kN

    Maximum mid span Bending Moment with KEL at mid span = M ult
    Mult = (15.0 x 342)/8 + (56.82 x 34)/4
    Mult = 2170 + 480 = 2650 kNm
     
    Note: Use of γf3
    BS 5400 Pt.3 & Pt.5 - γf3 is used with the design strength so Mult = 2650 kNm.
    BS 5400 Pt.4 - γf3 is used with the load effect so Mult = 1.1 x 2650 = 2915 kNm.
    Clause 6.3 Type HB Loading

     
    Assume the road over the bridge is not a Principal Road then we need to check for 30 units
    type HB loading (see BD 37 Chapter 4).

    Cl 6.3.1
    Nominal load per axle = 30units x 10kN = 300kN
     
    The maximum bending moment will be achieved by using the shortest HB vehicle i.e. with 6m
    spacing (see BD 37 Fig 12).
    The maximum moment for a simply supported span occurs under the inner axle when the
    vehicle is positioned such that the mid span bisects the distance between the centroid of
    the load and the nearest axle.
    With a 34m span and the 6m HB vehicle with equal axle loads, the inner axle is placed at
    1.5m from the mid span.
     

     
    RL = 300(10.7+12.5+18.5+20.3)/34 = 547 kN
    RR = 4x300-547 = 653kN
    Moment at X = 547x15.5 - 300x1.8 = 7939kNm
    Cl 6.4.2
    The HB vehicle occupies one lane with HA load in the adjacent lane. Assume for the example
    that the HB load is carried by a standard lane width of 3.65m.
     
    Hence the moment per metre width of deck = 7939/3.65 = 2175kNm
    Cl 6.3.4.
    γfL = 1.30 (Ultimate limit state - combination 1)
    Design HB moment for a metre width of deck :
    Mult  = 1.3 x 2175 = 2828 kN/m (compared to 2650 for HA load)
    Hence in this case HB load effects would govern although a grillage or finite element type
    distribution would reduce the HB moment considerably
