These are lecture notes from a Bridge Engineering course at the University of Anbar. The notes cover topics such as girder-slab analysis, transverse load distribution, and distribution factors for bending moment and shear. The notes also include information on effective flange width for interior and exterior beams, as well as properties of BT-72 girders and cast-in-place RC decks. The notes are likely intended for students studying civil engineering or a related field.

Lecture 6 University Of A nbar Dr.Yousif A. Mansoor
University Of A nbar Dr.Yousif A. Mansoor Girder- Slab Analysis The principal function of the slab is to provide the roadway surface and to transmit the applied loads to the girders. This load path is illustrated in Figure below.

Review AASHTO Review AASHTO DF (Sect. 4.6.2.2.1) Multiple presence factors not used. For fatigue design moments and shears divided by 1. 20 to eliminate multiple presence effect included in DF. Controlling moment or shear from a) HL- 93 + lane loading or b) tandem + lane loading multiplied by appropriate AASHTO DF to get design moment or shear in an individual girder. AASHTO DF can be used with other loadings (I.e., permit or rating vehicles) in design.
Multiple presences factors are incorporated into the above distribution factors (Sect.
Exterior girders shall not have less resistance than an interior girder (Sect.
