CONCRETE TBeam BRIDGE

DESIGNPROBLE
M STATEMENT
Design a
reinforced
concrete T-beam
bridge for a 44ft-wide roadway
and three-spans
of 35 ft

42 ft

35 ft with a skew
of 30 as shown
in Figure 1. Use
the concrete
deck of Figures 2
and 3previously
designed for an
HL-93 live load, a

bituminous
overlay, and a 8ft spacing of
girders.Use fc

= 4.5 ksi, fy =
60 ksi, and
follow the outline
of AASHTO
(2004) LRFD
