Bridge Engineering Assignment # 1

(Total Marks= 50 )
Due Date: Oct. 9, 2019

Objective: Hand on practice to calculate the effect of dead and live load for the
design of bridges.

Question: Find the design BMs for the webs of a cast-in-place concrete multi-cell box girder
bridge. The detail of cross section is given in following figure and table (against Student ID)

Given Information:
 Bridge is to be design for HL-93 Live Load.
 Thickness of future wearing surface = 6inch of density 140 lbs/cft
 Density of concrete is 150 lbs/cft
 Compressive strength of concrete = 4500 Psi
 Grade 60 steel is to be use.
 Assume any missing data
Grading details:
1- Submission on time = 5
2- Completeness = 4
3- Presentation/sequence of calculation work = 4
4- Giving Reference of relevant code = 4
5- Accuracy of Results = 25
6- Use of technology is highly appreciated; use of Excel for calculations and Microsoft
office for presentation. =8

NOTE: Any form of copying/cheating will result to ZERO marks. Please
