    IRC 6, Amendment 2.2

    Uploaded by

    jay
    This amendment provides clarification for fatigue assessment of bridges. It specifies that the single worst-case stress range from the fatigue load governs assessment. A minimum 150mm clearance is required between the wheel edge and curb. Fatigue checks should consider frequent service load combinations with a load factor of 1.0. References for different bridge types are also provided. Bridges in certain locations may require assessment for up to 10 million or 2 million load cycles depending on location. Rural bridges need not consider fatigue.

    AMENDMENT TO IRC:6-2014

    The stress range resulting from the single passage of the fatigue load along the longitudinal direction of the
    bridge, shall be used for fatigue assessment with the fatigue load so positioned as to have worst effect on the
    detail or element of the bridge under consideration. The minimum clearance between outer edge of the wheel of
    the fatigue vehicle and roadway face of the kerb shall be 150 mm.
    For all types of bridges (i.e. Concrete, Steel or Composite ) the fatigue check shall be carried out under frequent
    combination of Serviceability Limit State (SLS), with load factors for fatigue load, taken as equal to 1.0. For
    design for fatigue limit state, reference shall be made to. IRC:112 for Concrete bridges, IRC:24 for Steel bridges
    and IRC:22 for Steel Concrete Composite bridges.

    assessment, depending upon the location of the bridge and the category of roads:
    a) The bridges close to areas such as ports, heavy industries and mines and other areas, where generally
    heavy vehicles ply shall be designed for the stress induced due to 10 x 106 cycles.
    b) Other bridges shall be designed for the stress induced due to 2 x 106 cycles.
    Bridges on rural roads need not be designed for fatigue.
