1. Design Parameters
Approach slab thickness, h = 16 in
Thickness of wearing surface, tws = 2 in
Length of approach slab, L = 20 ft
Concrete cover at top of slab, Cctop = 2.5 in
Concrete cover at bottom of slab, Ccbot = 1.5 in
Unit weight of concrete, gconc = 0.15 kips/ft3
Compressive strength of concrete, fc' = 3 ksi
Specified yield strength of steel, fy = 60 ksi
Modulus of elasticity of steel, Es = 29000 ksi
Modulus of elasticity of concrete, Ec = 3321 ksi
Modular ratio, n = 8.73 say
Exposure factor, ge = 1.00
Flexural and tension resistance factor, f = 0.90

2. Loadings
Dead loads:
selfweight, wDC = 0.200 kips/ft
Wearing surface, wDW = 0.025 kips/ft
Dead load bending moments from deck load: MDC = WDC*L^2 / 8
= 10.000 kips-ft
Dead load bending moments from future wearing surface load: MDW = WDW*L^2 / 8
= 1.250 kips-ft

Live loads:
Live load distribution width:
For two or more lanes,
E = 84 + 1.44(L1W1)0.5 ≤ 12.0W/NL (Eq.4.6.2.3-2) = 133.88 in
= 11.16 ft
Number of lanes, NL = 4
Physical edge to edge width of bridge, W = 62.50 ft
modified span length, L1 = 20.00 ft
modified edge to edge width W1 = 60.00 ft
Lane Load, Mmax = wL2/8 = 32.00 kips-ft
Truck Load, Mmax = 104.80 kips-ft
Total Live Load moment = 15.36 kips-ft

3. Flexural design
Strength I Limit State Load
Positive design moment:
Mr = 1.25 MDC + 1.5 MDW + 1.75 MLL = 41.26 kips-ft
Service I Limit State Load
Positive design moment:
Ms = MDC + MDW + MLL = 26.61 kips-ft

4. Bottom Reinforcement (Main Reinf. Parallel to traffic)


Flexural Strength Check
Main bar at bottom of slab = # 8
diameter of bar, db = 1.00 in
Area of bar, Ab = 0.79 in2
Effective depth at bottom, dsbot = 14.000 in
spacing of # 8 bars, s = 8.0 in
Max spacing of reinforcing bars, smaller of: (5.10.3.2)
1.5h, 18 in = 18.0 in
s < s max, OK!
As(bot) = Ab * (12/s) = 1.19 in2
a = As(bot)*fy / 0.85f'cb = 2.32 in
Mn = As(bot)fy(d-a/2) = 76.07 kips-ft
ØMn = = 68.46 kips-ft
ØMn > Mr, OK!
Crack Control Check
ρ = As/bd = 0.0071
k = √[(ρn) + 2ρn - ρn]
2

j = 1-k/3 = 0.901
fss = Ms / Asjd < 0.6fy = 21.38 ksi
fss < 0.6*fy, OK!
dc = Cctop + db/2 = 3.00 in
βs = 1 + (dc / 0.7(h-dc) (Eq.5.7.3.4-1) = 1.330
sreq ≤ (700ge)/(βsfss) - 2dc (Eq.5.7.3.4-1) = 18.63 in
s < sreq, OK!
Minimum Reinforcement
Section modulus, Sc = bh2/6 = 512.0 in3
Modulus of rupture, fr = 0.37√f'c (5.4.2.6) = 0.64 ksi
Cracking moment, Mr = minimum of 1.2Mcr,1.33Mr (5.7.3.3.2) = 32.81 kips-ft
1.2 Mcr = 1.2(frSc) (Eq.5.7.3.3.2-1) = 32.81 kips-ft
1.33 Mr = 54.87 kips-ft
ØMn > Mr, OK!

6. Bottom Transverse Reinforcement


For main reinforcement parallel to traffic:
Ast req = 100 / √S ≤ 50% (9.7.3.2) = 0.26 in2/ft
100 / √S = 22.36 %
Try
transverse reinforcement = # 5
spacing of transverse reinforcement, st = 12.0 in
Max spacing of reinforcing bars, smaller of: (5.10.3.2)
1.5h, 18 in = 18.0 in
st < st max, OK!
area of bar = 0.31 in2
area of bar provided / spacing, Ast = Ab(12/st) = 0.31 in2/ft
Ast > Ast req, OK!

7. Top Transverse and Longitudinal Reinforcement


As tempreq ≥ 1.30bh/2(b+h)fy (Eq.5.10.8-1) = 0.07 in2/ft
0.11 ≤ As tempreq ≤ 0.60 (Eq.5.10.8-2) = 0.11 in2/ft
For each face, Min. temp. As = 0.11 in2/ft
temperature reinforcement = # 5
spacing of transverse reinforcement, stemp = 12.0 in
max spacing, smaller of: (5.10.8)
3.0h, 18 in = 18.0 in
Stemp < S tempmax, OK!
area of bar = 0.31 in2
area of bar provided / spacing, Astemp = Ab(12/stemp) = 0.31 in2/ft
Astemp > As tempreq, OK!
