Abstract

Illustrates worked examples of the initial and detailed design aspects of composite highway bridge construction using reinforced concrete slab on top of steel girders. Calculations are generally in accordance with the recommendations of BS 5400, in particular BS 5400-3:2000. The three sets of calculations presented are: - 20m span continuous bridge that is designed on the basis of compact sections. - three span haunched bridge that is designed on the basis of non-compact sections. - design of a deck slab. The examples are given in the form of calculation sheets with facing commentary pages. All the examples are updated versions of those previously given in publications P065, P066 and P084.
