    Illustrative Worked Examples: Worked Example No. Title of Worked Example: Centrifugal Force On Continuous Bridge Pier

    Uploaded by

    jatin singla
    This document provides an example calculation for determining the maximum centrifugal force on a continuous bridge pier. The problem statement gives details of a 2-lane continuous curved bridge, including total length, effective span length, radius of curvature, and design speed. The solution shows that for a large radius, the curved span can be treated as straight. It then calculates: (1) the maximum reaction at Pier B due to live load, (2) the centrifugal force at Pier B using the reaction and design speed, and (3) the transverse bending moment at the pier cap from the centrifugal force.
