Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

xiv

This report is part of the so-called Technical documents (Type 2 above) and contains a comprehensive description of the practical examples presented at the workshop ldquoBridge Design to the Eurocodesrdquo with emphasis on worked examples of bridge design The workshop was held on 4-6 October 2010 in Vienna Austria and was co-organized with CENTC250Horizontal Group Bridges the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport Innovation and Technology and the Austrian Standards Institute with the support of CEN and the Member States The workshop addressed representatives of public authorities national standardisation bodies research institutions academia industry and technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes The main objective was to facilitate training on Eurocode Parts related to Bridge Design through the transfer of knowledge and training information from the Eurocode Bridge Parts writers (CENTC250 Horizontal Group Bridges) to key trainers at national level and Eurocode users

The workshop was a unique occasion to compile a state-of-the-art training kit comprising the slide presentations and technical papers with the worked example for a bridge structure designed following the Eurocodes The present JRC Report compiles all the technical papers prepared by the workshop lecturers resulting in the presentation of a bridge structure analyzed from the point of view of each Eurocode

The editors and authors have sought to present useful and consistent information in this report However it must be noted that the report is not a complete design example and that the reader may identify some discrepancies between chapters Users of information contained in this report must satisfy themselves of its suitability for the purpose for which they intend to use it

We would like to gratefully acknowledge the workshop lecturers and the members of CENTC250 Horizontal Group Bridges for their contribution in the organization of the workshop and development of the training material comprising the slide presentations and technical papers with the worked examples We would also like to thank the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport Innovation and Technology especially Dr Eva M Eichinger-Vill and the Austrian Standards Institute for their help and support in the local organization of the workshop

It is also noted that the chapters presented in the report have been prepared by different authors and reflecting the different practices in the EU Member States both lsquorsquo and lsquorsquo are used as decimal separators

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

Note that we have considered that MplRd is the value obtained before for the effective class 2 cross-section

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

Then the lower flange is in Class 2

The upper part of the web is in tension and the lower part is in compression The position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

146

Fig 614 Concrete slab stress under the characteristic SLS combination

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

160

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

161

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

Where

∆τ is the range of shear stress due to fatigue loading related to the cross-sectional area of the shank of the stud πd24 with d the diameter of the shank

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

γ τ τ γminus∆ le ∆2 Ff E c Mf s

Where

∆τE2 is the equivalent constant range of shear stress for two millions cycles

∆τE2 = λvmiddot∆τ (see paragraph 761)

∆τc is the reference value of fatigue strength at 2 million cycles ∆τc=90 MPa

γFf is the fatigue partial factor According to EN-1993-2 93 the recommended value is γFf=10

γMfs is the partial factor for verification of headed studs in bridges According to EN-1994-2 2412 (6) the recommended value is γMfs=10

Meanwhile where the maximum stress in the steel flange to which studs connectors are welded is tensile under the relevant combination the interaction at any cross-section between shear stress range ∆τE in the weld of the stud connector and the normal stress range ∆σE in the steel flange should be verified according to EN-1994-2 6872 (2)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

Note that we have considered that MplRd is the value obtained before for the effective class 2 cross-section

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

For the design example

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

139

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

Note that we have considered that MplRd is the value obtained before for the effective class 2 cross-section

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Fig 612 Cross-section at support P-1 with double composite action Design plastic bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

Figs 619 and 620 show the maximum and minimum stresses applying the Von Mises safety criterion described in both steel flanges All cross-sections of the bridge are very far from the limit

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

Meanwhile in the mid span P-1P-2 σtimes

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

139

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

Note that we have considered that MplRd is the value obtained before for the effective class 2 cross-section

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Fig 612 Cross-section at support P-1 with double composite action Design plastic bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

Figs 619 and 620 show the maximum and minimum stresses applying the Von Mises safety criterion described in both steel flanges All cross-sections of the bridge are very far from the limit

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

139

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

Note that we have considered that MplRd is the value obtained before for the effective class 2 cross-section

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Fig 612 Cross-section at support P-1 with double composite action Design plastic bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

Figs 619 and 620 show the maximum and minimum stresses applying the Von Mises safety criterion described in both steel flanges All cross-sections of the bridge are very far from the limit

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

139

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

Note that we have considered that MplRd is the value obtained before for the effective class 2 cross-section

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Fig 612 Cross-section at support P-1 with double composite action Design plastic bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

According to this the steel web is in Class 2

However the part of the web in touch with the bottom concrete slab is laterally connected to it so only 0305 m of the total length under compression (0805 m) could have buckling problems If we take this into consideration the actual depth of the web considered for the classification of the compressed panel is 1815+0305=212m instead of 262 m considered before

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

For the design example

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

Act is the area of the tensile zone caused by direct loading and primary effect of shrinkage immediately prior to cracking of the cross section For simplicity the area of the concrete section within the effective width may be used In our case Act=195 m2

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

Where

νLEd is the design longitudinal shear force per unit length at the concrete-steel interface

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

6762 Fatigue verifications

For stud connectors welded to a steel flange that is always in compression under the relevant combination of actions (see paragraph 761) the fatigue assessment should be made by checking the criterion which corresponds to a crack propagation in the stud shank

γMfs is the partial factor for verification of headed studs in bridges According to EN-1994-2 2412 (6) the recommended value is γMfs=10

Meanwhile where the maximum stress in the steel flange to which studs connectors are welded is tensile under the relevant combination the interaction at any cross-section between shear stress range ∆τE in the weld of the stud connector and the normal stress range ∆σE in the steel flange should be verified according to EN-1994-2 6872 (2)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

the web (stiffened by the vertical stiffeners) should be

The maximum design shear resistance is given by VRd = min(VbwRd VplaRd) where VbwRd is the shear buckling resistance according to EN-1993-1-5 5 and VplaRd is the resistance to vertical shear according to EN-1993-1-1 626

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

139

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

Note that we have considered that MplRd is the value obtained before for the effective class 2 cross-section

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

For the design example

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

Act is the area of the tensile zone caused by direct loading and primary effect of shrinkage immediately prior to cracking of the cross section For simplicity the area of the concrete section within the effective width may be used In our case Act=195 m2

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

Where

νLEd is the design longitudinal shear force per unit length at the concrete-steel interface

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

6762 Fatigue verifications

For stud connectors welded to a steel flange that is always in compression under the relevant combination of actions (see paragraph 761) the fatigue assessment should be made by checking the criterion which corresponds to a crack propagation in the stud shank

γMfs is the partial factor for verification of headed studs in bridges According to EN-1994-2 2412 (6) the recommended value is γMfs=10

Meanwhile where the maximum stress in the steel flange to which studs connectors are welded is tensile under the relevant combination the interaction at any cross-section between shear stress range ∆τE in the weld of the stud connector and the normal stress range ∆σE in the steel flange should be verified according to EN-1994-2 6872 (2)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

the web (stiffened by the vertical stiffeners) should be

The maximum design shear resistance is given by VRd = min(VbwRd VplaRd) where VbwRd is the shear buckling resistance according to EN-1993-1-5 5 and VplaRd is the resistance to vertical shear according to EN-1993-1-1 626

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

In our case VEd = 221lt05middot444=222 MN then there is no need to check the interaction M-V

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 is in Class 3 and is checked by an elastic section analysis

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

139

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

For the design example

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

Act is the area of the tensile zone caused by direct loading and primary effect of shrinkage immediately prior to cracking of the cross section For simplicity the area of the concrete section within the effective width may be used In our case Act=195 m2

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum distance between the edge of a connector and the edge of a plate According to EN-1994-2 6-6-5-6 (2) the distance eD between the edge of a headed stud and the edge of a steel plate must not be less than 25 mm in order to ensure the correct stud welding

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

Where

νLEd is the design longitudinal shear force per unit length at the concrete-steel interface

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

6762 Fatigue verifications

For stud connectors welded to a steel flange that is always in compression under the relevant combination of actions (see paragraph 761) the fatigue assessment should be made by checking the criterion which corresponds to a crack propagation in the stud shank

γMfs is the partial factor for verification of headed studs in bridges According to EN-1994-2 2412 (6) the recommended value is γMfs=10

Meanwhile where the maximum stress in the steel flange to which studs connectors are welded is tensile under the relevant combination the interaction at any cross-section between shear stress range ∆τE in the weld of the stud connector and the normal stress range ∆σE in the steel flange should be verified according to EN-1994-2 6872 (2)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

130

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

the web (stiffened by the vertical stiffeners) should be

The maximum design shear resistance is given by VRd = min(VbwRd VplaRd) where VbwRd is the shear buckling resistance according to EN-1993-1-5 5 and VplaRd is the resistance to vertical shear according to EN-1993-1-1 626

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

According to EN-1994-2 6224 if the vertical shear force VEd does not exceed half the shear resistance VRd obtained before there is no need to check the interaction M V (Fig 65)

In our case VEd = 221lt05middot444=222 MN then there is no need to check the interaction M-V

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

Then the lower flange is in Class 1

The web is in tension in its upper part and in compression in its lower part The position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 is in Class 3 and is checked by an elastic section analysis

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

146

Fig 614 Concrete slab stress under the characteristic SLS combination

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Where L is the span length in m but not less than 20 m

For the design example

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

Act is the area of the tensile zone caused by direct loading and primary effect of shrinkage immediately prior to cracking of the cross section For simplicity the area of the concrete section within the effective width may be used In our case Act=195 m2

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

S VI

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

161

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

162

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

For the design of the connection at ULS we have considered the same segment division as used for the SLS verification

In the example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the design shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for ULS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

∆τE2 = λvmiddot∆τ

Where

∆τ is the range of shear stress due to fatigue loading related to the cross-sectional area of the shank of the stud πd24 with d the diameter of the shank

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

o λv3 is the factor for the design life of the bridge For 100 years of design life then λv3=10 according to EN-1993-2 952 (5)

o λv4 takes into account the effects of the heavy traffic on the other additional slow lane defined in the example In the case of a single slow lane λv4=10

6762 Fatigue verifications

For stud connectors welded to a steel flange that is always in compression under the relevant combination of actions (see paragraph 761) the fatigue assessment should be made by checking the criterion which corresponds to a crack propagation in the stud shank

γMfs is the partial factor for verification of headed studs in bridges According to EN-1994-2 2412 (6) the recommended value is γMfs=10

Meanwhile where the maximum stress in the steel flange to which studs connectors are welded is tensile under the relevant combination the interaction at any cross-section between shear stress range ∆τE in the weld of the stud connector and the normal stress range ∆σE in the steel flange should be verified according to EN-1994-2 6872 (2)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

xiv

This report is part of the so-called Technical documents (Type 2 above) and contains a comprehensive description of the practical examples presented at the workshop ldquoBridge Design to the Eurocodesrdquo with emphasis on worked examples of bridge design The workshop was held on 4-6 October 2010 in Vienna Austria and was co-organized with CENTC250Horizontal Group Bridges the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport Innovation and Technology and the Austrian Standards Institute with the support of CEN and the Member States The workshop addressed representatives of public authorities national standardisation bodies research institutions academia industry and technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes The main objective was to facilitate training on Eurocode Parts related to Bridge Design through the transfer of knowledge and training information from the Eurocode Bridge Parts writers (CENTC250 Horizontal Group Bridges) to key trainers at national level and Eurocode users

The workshop was a unique occasion to compile a state-of-the-art training kit comprising the slide presentations and technical papers with the worked example for a bridge structure designed following the Eurocodes The present JRC Report compiles all the technical papers prepared by the workshop lecturers resulting in the presentation of a bridge structure analyzed from the point of view of each Eurocode

The editors and authors have sought to present useful and consistent information in this report However it must be noted that the report is not a complete design example and that the reader may identify some discrepancies between chapters Users of information contained in this report must satisfy themselves of its suitability for the purpose for which they intend to use it

We would like to gratefully acknowledge the workshop lecturers and the members of CENTC250 Horizontal Group Bridges for their contribution in the organization of the workshop and development of the training material comprising the slide presentations and technical papers with the worked examples We would also like to thank the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport Innovation and Technology especially Dr Eva M Eichinger-Vill and the Austrian Standards Institute for their help and support in the local organization of the workshop

It is also noted that the chapters presented in the report have been prepared by different authors and reflecting the different practices in the EU Member States both lsquorsquo and lsquorsquo are used as decimal separators

All the material prepared for the workshop (slides presentations and JRC Report) is available to download from the ldquoEurocodes Building the futurerdquo website (httpeurocodesjrceceuropaeu)

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

130

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

The maximum design shear resistance is given by VRd = min(VbwRd VplaRd) where VbwRd is the shear buckling resistance according to EN-1993-1-5 5 and VplaRd is the resistance to vertical shear according to EN-1993-1-1 626

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

Then the lower flange is in Class 1

The web is in tension in its upper part and in compression in its lower part The position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

139

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 610 Two examples of road composite bridges with double composite action in hogging

areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

Fig 614 Concrete slab stress under the characteristic SLS combination

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

The direct tensile stress in the reinforcement σs due to direct loading may be calculated according to EN-1994-2 743 (3)

Act is the area of the tensile zone For simplicity the area of the concrete section within the effective width may be used In our case Act=195 m2

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

160

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

161

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

6761 Equivalent constant amplitude stress range

For verification of stud shear connectors based on nominal stress ranges the equivalent constant range of shear stress ∆τE2 for two million cycles is given by (EN-1994-2 6862(1))

∆τE2 = λvmiddot∆τ

Where

∆τ is the range of shear stress due to fatigue loading related to the cross-sectional area of the shank of the stud πd24 with d the diameter of the shank

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

o λv3 is the factor for the design life of the bridge For 100 years of design life then λv3=10 according to EN-1993-2 952 (5)

o λv4 takes into account the effects of the heavy traffic on the other additional slow lane defined in the example In the case of a single slow lane λv4=10

In the present case the factor depends on the transverse influence of each slow lane on the internal forces and moments in the main girders

The factor η1 represents the maximum influence of the transverse location of the traffic slow lanes on the fatigue-verified main girder N1=N2 (same number of heavy vehicles in each slow lane) and Qm1=Qm2 (same type of lorry in each slow lane) will be considered for the example

6762 Fatigue verifications

For stud connectors welded to a steel flange that is always in compression under the relevant combination of actions (see paragraph 761) the fatigue assessment should be made by checking the criterion which corresponds to a crack propagation in the stud shank

∆τE2 is the equivalent constant range of shear stress for two millions cycles

∆τE2 = λvmiddot∆τ (see paragraph 761)

∆τc is the reference value of fatigue strength at 2 million cycles ∆τc=90 MPa

γFf is the fatigue partial factor According to EN-1993-2 93 the recommended value is γFf=10

γMfs is the partial factor for verification of headed studs in bridges According to EN-1994-2 2412 (6) the recommended value is γMfs=10

Meanwhile where the maximum stress in the steel flange to which studs connectors are welded is tensile under the relevant combination the interaction at any cross-section between shear stress range ∆τE in the weld of the stud connector and the normal stress range ∆σE in the steel flange should be verified according to EN-1994-2 6872 (2)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

Then the lower flange is in Class 2

The upper part of the web is in tension and the lower part is in compression The position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

146

Fig 614 Concrete slab stress under the characteristic SLS combination

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

Figs 619 and 620 show the maximum and minimum stresses applying the Von Mises safety criterion described in both steel flanges All cross-sections of the bridge are very far from the limit

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

160

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

161

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

130

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

the web (stiffened by the vertical stiffeners) should be

The maximum design shear resistance is given by VRd = min(VbwRd VplaRd) where VbwRd is the shear buckling resistance according to EN-1993-1-5 5 and VplaRd is the resistance to vertical shear according to EN-1993-1-1 626

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

According to EN-1994-2 6224 if the vertical shear force VEd does not exceed half the shear resistance VRd obtained before there is no need to check the interaction M V (Fig 65)

In our case VEd = 221lt05middot444=222 MN then there is no need to check the interaction M-V

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

Then the lower flange is in Class 1

The web is in tension in its upper part and in compression in its lower part The position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

139

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

146

Fig 614 Concrete slab stress under the characteristic SLS combination

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

Figs 619 and 620 show the maximum and minimum stresses applying the Von Mises safety criterion described in both steel flanges All cross-sections of the bridge are very far from the limit

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

L k

S VI

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

161

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

The following should be therefore verified at all abscissa x

ksmiddotPRd=4middot ks middotPRd of 1 stud =03064 MN is the SLS resistance of a row of 4 headed studs calculated in 71

162

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

Table 64 Shear force per unit length at SLS at segment 50-625 m

The maximum SLS shear force per unit length to be considered is therefore 0989 MNm which is guaranteed providing the stud rows are placed at the maximum spacing of (4 studs per row)

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

Where

νLEd is the design longitudinal shear force per unit length at the concrete-steel interface

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the

composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

o locally in each segment ldquoirdquo the shear force per unit length should not exceed by more than 10 what the number of shear connectors per unit length can resist

For the design of the connection at ULS we have considered the same segment division as used for the SLS verification

In the example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the design shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for ULS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

The maximum ULS design shear force per unit length to be resisted is therefore 1323 MNm which is guaranteed providing the stud rows are placed at the maximum spacing of (4 studs per row)

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

∆τE2 = λvmiddot∆τ

Where

∆τ is the range of shear stress due to fatigue loading related to the cross-sectional area of the shank of the stud πd24 with d the diameter of the shank

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

o λv3 is the factor for the design life of the bridge For 100 years of design life then λv3=10 according to EN-1993-2 952 (5)

o λv4 takes into account the effects of the heavy traffic on the other additional slow lane defined in the example In the case of a single slow lane λv4=10

The factor η1 represents the maximum influence of the transverse location of the traffic slow lanes on the fatigue-verified main girder N1=N2 (same number of heavy vehicles in each slow lane) and Qm1=Qm2 (same type of lorry in each slow lane) will be considered for the example

6762 Fatigue verifications

For stud connectors welded to a steel flange that is always in compression under the relevant combination of actions (see paragraph 761) the fatigue assessment should be made by checking the criterion which corresponds to a crack propagation in the stud shank

γFf is the fatigue partial factor According to EN-1993-2 93 the recommended value is γFf=10

γMfs is the partial factor for verification of headed studs in bridges According to EN-1994-2 2412 (6) the recommended value is γMfs=10

Meanwhile where the maximum stress in the steel flange to which studs connectors are welded is tensile under the relevant combination the interaction at any cross-section between shear stress range ∆τE in the weld of the stud connector and the normal stress range ∆σE in the steel flange should be verified according to EN-1994-2 6872 (2)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

This report is part of the so-called Technical documents (Type 2 above) and contains a comprehensive description of the practical examples presented at the workshop ldquoBridge Design to the Eurocodesrdquo with emphasis on worked examples of bridge design The workshop was held on 4-6 October 2010 in Vienna Austria and was co-organized with CENTC250Horizontal Group Bridges the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport Innovation and Technology and the Austrian Standards Institute with the support of CEN and the Member States The workshop addressed representatives of public authorities national standardisation bodies research institutions academia industry and technical associations involved in training on the Eurocodes The main objective was to facilitate training on Eurocode Parts related to Bridge Design through the transfer of knowledge and training information from the Eurocode Bridge Parts writers (CENTC250 Horizontal Group Bridges) to key trainers at national level and Eurocode users

The workshop was a unique occasion to compile a state-of-the-art training kit comprising the slide presentations and technical papers with the worked example for a bridge structure designed following the Eurocodes The present JRC Report compiles all the technical papers prepared by the workshop lecturers resulting in the presentation of a bridge structure analyzed from the point of view of each Eurocode

The editors and authors have sought to present useful and consistent information in this report However it must be noted that the report is not a complete design example and that the reader may identify some discrepancies between chapters Users of information contained in this report must satisfy themselves of its suitability for the purpose for which they intend to use it

We would like to gratefully acknowledge the workshop lecturers and the members of CENTC250 Horizontal Group Bridges for their contribution in the organization of the workshop and development of the training material comprising the slide presentations and technical papers with the worked examples We would also like to thank the Austrian Federal Ministry for Transport Innovation and Technology especially Dr Eva M Eichinger-Vill and the Austrian Standards Institute for their help and support in the local organization of the workshop

It is also noted that the chapters presented in the report have been prepared by different authors and reflecting the different practices in the EU Member States both lsquorsquo and lsquorsquo are used as decimal separators

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

61 Verification of cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

130

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

The maximum design shear resistance is given by VRd = min(VbwRd VplaRd) where VbwRd is the shear buckling resistance according to EN-1993-1-5 5 and VplaRd is the resistance to vertical shear according to EN-1993-1-1 626

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

Then the lower flange is in Class 1

The web is in tension in its upper part and in compression in its lower part The position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

If we consider the internal shear forces and moments of the section located over P-1 (x=60m)VEd=8124MN MEd=-10935mMN and the section located at X=625 m VEd=7646MN MEd=-9186mMN we could obtain the values of the design shear force and bending moment of the section located at X=6125 m which approximately is at hw2 from the support as an average of both values on the safe side

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 610 Two examples of road composite bridges with double composite action in hogging

areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Act is the area of the tensile zone For simplicity the area of the concrete section within the effective width may be used In our case Act=195 m2

Aa Ia are area and second moment of area respectively of the structural steel section

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

160

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

161

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

λv is the damage equivalent factor depending on the spectra and the slope m of the fatigue curve

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

The factor η1 represents the maximum influence of the transverse location of the traffic slow lanes on the fatigue-verified main girder N1=N2 (same number of heavy vehicles in each slow lane) and Qm1=Qm2 (same type of lorry in each slow lane) will be considered for the example

This gives finally λv4=10

Then λv=155middot0952middot10middot10=1477

6762 Fatigue verifications

For stud connectors welded to a steel flange that is always in compression under the relevant combination of actions (see paragraph 761) the fatigue assessment should be made by checking the criterion which corresponds to a crack propagation in the stud shank

γ τ τ γminus∆ le ∆2 Ff E c Mf s

Where

∆τE2 is the equivalent constant range of shear stress for two millions cycles

∆τE2 = λvmiddot∆τ (see paragraph 761)

∆τc is the reference value of fatigue strength at 2 million cycles ∆τc=90 MPa

γFf is the fatigue partial factor According to EN-1993-2 93 the recommended value is γFf=10

γMfs is the partial factor for verification of headed studs in bridges According to EN-1994-2 2412 (6) the recommended value is γMfs=10

Meanwhile where the maximum stress in the steel flange to which studs connectors are welded is tensile under the relevant combination the interaction at any cross-section between shear stress range ∆τE in the weld of the stud connector and the normal stress range ∆σE in the steel flange should be verified according to EN-1994-2 6872 (2)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications

Foreword

The construction sector is of strategic importance to the EU as it delivers the buildings and infrastructure needed by the rest of the economy and society It represents more than 10 of EU GDP and more than 50 of fixed capital formation It is the largest single economic activity and the biggest industrial employer in Europe The sector employs directly almost 20 million people In addition construction is a key element for the implementation of the Single Market and other construction relevant EU Policies eg Environment and Energy

In line with the EUrsquos strategy for smart sustainable and inclusive growth (EU2020) Standardization will play an important part in supporting the strategy The EN Eurocodes are a set of European standards which provide common rules for the design of construction works to check their strength and stability against live and extreme loads such as earthquakes and fire

With the publication of all the 58 Eurocodes parts in 2007 the implementation of the Eurocodes is extending to all European countries and there are firm steps towards their adoption internationally The Commission Recommendation of 11 December 2003 stresses the importance of training in the use of the Eurocodes especially in engineering schools and as part of continuous professional development courses for engineers and technicians noting that they should be promoted both at national and international level

In light of the Recommendation DG JRC is collaborating with DG ENTR and CENTC250 ldquoStructural Eurocodesrdquo and is publishing the Report Series lsquoSupport to the implementation harmonization and further development of the Eurocodesrsquo as JRC Scientific and Technical Reports This Report Series include at present the following types of reports

1 Policy support documents ndash Resulting from the work of the JRC and cooperation with partners and stakeholders on lsquoSupport to the implementation promotion and further development of the Eurocodes and other standards for the building sector

2 Technical documents ndash Facilitating the implementation and use of the Eurocodes and containing information and practical examples (Worked Examples) on the use of the Eurocodes and covering the design of structures or their parts (eg the technical reports containing the practical examples presented in the workshops on the Eurocodes with worked examples organized by the JRC)

3 Pre-normative documents ndash Resulting from the works of the CENTC250 Working Groups and containing background information andor first draft of proposed normative parts These documents can be then converted to CEN technical specifications

4 Background documents ndash Providing approved background information on current Eurocode part The publication of the document is at the request of the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee

5 ScientificTechnical information documents ndash Containing additional non-contradictory information on current Eurocodes parts which may facilitate implementation and use preliminary results from pre-normative work and other studies which may be used in future revisions and further development of the standards The authors are various stakeholders involved in Eurocodes process and the publication of these documents is authorized by the relevant CENTC250 Sub-Committee or Working Group

Editorial work for this Report Series is assured by the JRC together with partners and stakeholders when appropriate The publication of the reports type 3 4 and 5 is made after approval for publication from the CENTC250 Co-ordination Group

The publication of these reports by the JRC serves the purpose of implementation further harmonization and development of the Eurocodes However it is noted that neither the Commission nor CEN are obliged to follow or endorse any recommendation or result included in these reports in the European legislation or standardization processes

Introduction

The Eurocodes are currently in the process of national implementation towards becoming the Europe-

wide means for structural design of civil engineering works

As part of the strategy and general programme for promotion and training on the Eurocodes a

workshop on bridge design to Eurocodes was organised in Vienna in October 2010 The main

objective of this workshop was to transfer background knowledge and expertise The workshop aimed

to provide state-of-the-art training material and background information on Eurocodes with an

emphasis on practical worked examples

This report collects together the material that was prepared and presented at the workshop by a

group of experts who have been actively involved in the development of the Eurocodes It

summarises important points of the Eurocodes for the design of concrete steel and composite road

bridges including foundations and seismic design The worked examples utilise a common bridge

project as a basis although inevitably they are not exhaustive

THE EUROCODES FOR THE DESIGN OF BRIDGES

The Eurocodes

The Eurocodes listed in the Table I constitute a set of 10 European standards (EN) for the design of

civil engineering works and construction products They were produced by the European Committee

for Standardization (CEN) and embody national experience and research output together with the

expertise of international technical and scientific organisations The Eurocodes suite covers all

principal construction materials all major fields of structural engineering and a wide range of types of

structures and products

Table I Eurocode parts

EN 1990 Eurocode Basis of structural design EN 1991 Eurocode 1 Actions on structures EN 1992 Eurocode 2 Design of concrete structures EN 1993 Eurocode 3 Design of steel structures EN 1994 Eurocode 4 Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 Eurocode 5 Design of timber structures EN 1996 Eurocode 6 Design of masonry structures EN 1997 Eurocode 7 Geotechnical design EN 1998 Eurocode 8 Design of structures for earthquake resistance EN 1999 Eurocode 9 Design of aluminium structures

From March 2010 the Eurocodes were intended to be the only Standards for the design of structures

in the countries of the European Union (EU) and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA) The

Member States of the EU and EFTA recognise that the Eurocodes serve as

a means to prove compliance of buildings and civil engineering works with the essential

requirements of the Construction Products Directive (Directive 89106EEC) particularly Essential

Requirement 1 ldquoMechanical resistance and stabilityrdquo and Essential Requirement 2 ldquoSafety in case

of firerdquo

a basis for specifying contracts for construction works and related engineering services

xvi

a framework for drawing up harmonised technical specifications for construction products (ENs

and ETAs)

The Eurocodes were developed under the guidance and co-ordination of CENTC250 ldquoStructural

Eurocodesrdquo The role of CENTC250 and its subcommittees is to manage all the work for the

Eurocodes and to oversee their implementation The Horizontal Group Bridges was established within

CENTC250 with the purpose of facilitating technical liaison on matters related to bridges and to

support the wider strategy of CENTC250 In this context the strategy for the Horizontal Group

Bridges embraces the following work streams maintenance and evolution of Eurocodes development

of National Annexes and harmonisation promotion (trainingguidance and international) future

developments and promotion of research needs

Bridge Parts of the Eurocodes

Each Eurocode except EN 1990 is divided into a number of parts that cover specific aspects The

Eurocodes for concrete steel composite and timber structures and for seismic design comprise a

Part 2 which covers explicitly the design of road and railway bridges These parts are intended to be

used for the design of new bridges including piers abutments upstand walls wing walls and flank

walls etc and their foundations The materials covered are i) plain reinforced and prestressed

concrete made with normal and light-weight aggregates ii) steel iii) steel-concrete composites and iv)

timber or other wood-based materials either singly or compositely with concrete steel or other

materials Cable-stayed and arch bridges are not fully covered Suspension bridges timber and

masonry bridges moveable bridges and floating bridges are excluded from the scope of Part 2 of

Eurocode 8

A bridge designer should use EN 1990 for the basis of design together with EN 1991 for actions EN

1992 to EN 1995 (depending on the material) for the structural design and detailing EN 1997 for

geotechnical aspects and EN 1998 for design against earthquakes The main Eurocode parts used for

the design of concrete steel and composite bridges are given in Table II

The ten Eurocodes are part of the broader family of European standards which also include material

product and execution standards The Eurocodes are intended to be used together with such

normative documents and through reference to them adopt some of their provisions Fig I

schematically illustrates the use of Eurocodes together with material (eg concrete and steel) product

(eg bearings barriers and parapets) and execution standards for the design and construction of a

bridge

THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

The worked examples in this report refer to the same structure However some modifications andor

extensions are introduced to cover some specific issues that would not otherwise be addressed

details are given in the pertinent chapters Timber bridges are not treated in this report although their

design is covered by the Eurocodes

The following assumptions have been made

the bridge is not spanning a river and therefore no hydraulic actions are considered

the climatic conditions are such that snow actions are not considered

the soil properties allow for the use of shallow foundations

the recommended values for the Nationally Determined Parameters are used throughout

The example structure shown in Fig II is a road bridge with three spans (600 m + 800 m + 600 m)

The continuous composite deck is made up of two steel girders with I cross-section and a concrete

slab with total width 120 m Alternative configurations namely transverse connection at the bottom of

the steel girders and use of external tendons are also studied Two solutions are considered for the

piers squat and slender piers with a height 100 m and 400 m respectively The squat piers have a

50times25 m rectangular cross-section while the slender piers have a circular cross-section with external

diameter 40 m and internal diameter 32 m For the case of slender piers the deck is fixed on the

piers and free to move on the abutments For the case of squat piers the deck is connected to each

pier and abutment through triple friction pendulum isolators The piers rest on rectangular shallow

footings The abutments are made up of gravity walls that rest on rectangular footings

The configuration of the example bridge was chosen for the purpose of this workshop It is not

proposed as the optimum solution and it is understood that other possibilities exist It is also noted

that the example is not fully comprehensive and there are aspects that are not covered

Figure II Geometry of the example bridge

OUTLINE OF THE REPORT

Following the introduction Chapter 1 describes the geometry and materials of the example bridge as

well as the main assumptions and the detailed structural calculations Each of the subsequent

chapters presents the main principles and rules of a specific Eurocode and their application on the

example bridge The key concepts of basis of design namely design situations limit states the single

source principle and the combinations of actions are discussed in Chapter 2 Chapter 3 deals with

the permanent wind thermal traffic and fatigue actions and their combinations The use of FEM

analysis and the design of the deck and the piers for the ULS and the SLS including the second-

order effects are presented in Chapters 4 and 5 respectively Chapter 6 handles the classification of

xix

composite cross-sections the ULS SLS and fatigue verifications and the detailed design for creep

and shrinkage Chapter 7 presents the settlement and resistance calculations for the pier three

design approaches for the abutment and the verification of the foundation for the seismic design

situation Finally Chapter 8 is concerned with the conceptual design for earthquake resistance

considering the alternative solutions of slender or squat piers the latter case involves seismic

isolation and design for ductile behaviour

611 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At mid-span P1-P2 in ULS the concrete slab is in compression across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore taken into account in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 61 are subsequently calculated with the composite mechanical properties and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm VEd = 125 MN

Fig 61 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at mid-span P1-P2

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 (+) tension and (ndash) compression

612 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

Lower flange is in tension therefore it is Class 1 The upper flange is composite and connected following the recommendations of EN1994-2 66 therefore it is Class 1

To classify the steel web the position of the Plastic Neutral Axis (PNA) is determined as follows

middot αcc takes account of the long term effects on the compressive

strength and of unfavourable effects resulting from the way the loads are applied

The value for αcc is to be given in each National annex EN-1994-2 used the value 100 without permitting national choice for several reasons1

- The plastic stress block for use in resistance of composite sections defined in EN-1994 6212 (figure 62) consist of a stress 085fcd extending to the neutral axis as shown in Figs 62 and 63

Fig 62 Rectangular stress blocks for concrete in compression at ULS (figure 21 of1)

Fig 63 Detail of the stress block for concrete al ULS (figure 61 of1)

- Predictions using the stress block of EN-1994 have been verified against the results for composite members conducted independently from the verifications for concrete bridges

- The EN-1994 block is easier to apply The Eurocode 2 rule for rectangular block (EN-1992-1-1 317 (3)) was not used in Eurocode 4 because resistance formulae became complex where the neutral axis is close to or within the steel flange adjacent to concrete slab

- Resistance formulae for composite elements given in EN-1994 are based on calibrations using stress block with αcc=100

o The reinforcing steel bars in compression are neglected

o Design plastic resistance of the structural steel upper flange (1 flange)

As the PNA is located in the upper steel flange (Fig 64) the whole web and the bottom flange are in tension and therefore in Class 1 (EN-1993-1-1 552)

Conclusion The cross-section at mid-span P1-P2 is in Class 1 and is checked by a plastic section analysis

This is what usually happens in composite bridges in sagging areas with cross sections in class 1 with the PNA near or in the upper concrete slab or at least in class 2 with only a small upper part of the compressed web

613 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS

6131 Bending resistance check

The design plastic resistance moment is calculated from the position of the PNA according to EN1994-2 6212(1) (see Fig 63)

MplRd = 38643 x (02505 + 00125) + (00125 x 10) x 34510 x (001252)+ (00275 x 10) x (34510) x (002752)+16891 x (00275+2722)+1656 x (00275+272+0042)

MplRd = 7959 MNmiddotm

MEd = 6389 MNmiddotm le MplRd =7959 MNmiddotm is then verified

The cross-section at adjacent support P1 is in Class 3 but there is no need to reduce MplRd by a factor 09 because the ratio of lengths of the spans adjacent to P1 is 075 which is not less than 06 (EN1994-2 6213(2))

Given the distribution of the transverse bracing frames in the span P1-P2 (spacing a = 8 m) a vertical frame post is located in the studied cross-section (as for the cross-section at support P1) The shear buckling check is therefore performed in the adjacent web panel with the highest shear force The maximum shear force registered in this panel is VEd = 221 MN

62 Verification of cross-section at internal support P1

621 GEOMETRY AND STRESSES

At internal support P1 in ULS the concrete slab is in tension across its whole thickness Its contribution is therefore neglected in the cross-section resistance The stresses in Fig 66 are subsequently calculated and obtained by summing the various steps whilst respecting the construction phases

Fig 66 Stresses at ULS in cross-section at internal support P1

Note The sign criteria for stresses are according to EN-1994-2 + tension and ndash compression

The internal forces and moments in this cross-section are

MEd = -10935 MNmiddotm

VEd = 812 MN

622 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

As we have 29263 MPa in the upper steel flange and -27754 MPa in the lower steel flange which are below the limit of fyγM0=295MPa admitted in an elastic analysis for the thickness of 120 mm the bending resistance is verified

This verification could be made not with the extreme fibre stresses but with the stresses of the center of gravity of the flanges (EN-1993-1-1 621(9))

6232 Alternative Plastic bending verification (Effective Class 2 cross-section)

EN-1994-2 552(3) establishes that a cross-section with webs in Class 3 and flanges in Classes 1 or 2 may be treated as an effective cross-section in Class 2 with an effective web in accordance to EN-1993-1-1 6224

This criterion should be verified according to EN-1993-1-5 71 (2) at all sections other than those located at a distance less than hw2 from a support with vertical stiffener

Then we will verify the interaction for the design internal forces and moments

VEd=(8124+7646)2=7885 MN and MEd=(-10935-9186)2=-100605 mMN

Note that we have considered that MplRd is the value obtained before for the effective class 2 cross-section

63 Alternative double composite cross-section at internal support P-1

As an alternative to the simple composite cross-section located at the hogging bending moments area it is possible to design a double composite cross-section with a bottom concrete slab located between the two steel girders connected to them

The double composite action in hogging areas is an economical alternative to reduce the steel weight of the compressed bottom flange

Compression stresses from negative bending usually keep the bottom slab uncracked so bending and torsional stiffness in these areas are noticeably higher than those classically obtained with steel sections Double composite action greatly improves the deformational and dynamic response both to bending and torsion

The main structural advantage of the double composite action is related to the bridge response at ultimate limit state Cross-sections along the whole bridge are in Class 1 or Class 2 not only in sagging areas but also usually in hogging areas Thus instability problems at ultimate limit state are avoided not only at the bottom flange because of its connection to the concrete but also in webs due to the low position of the neutral axis in an ultimate limit state

As a result a safe and economical design is possible using a global elastic analysis with cross-section elastoplastic resistances both in sagging and hogging areas There is even enough capacity for almost reaching global plasticity in ULS by means of adequate control of elastoplastic rotations with no risk of brittle instabilities This constitutes a structural advantage of the cross sections with double composite action solution when compared to the more classical twin girder alternatives

Fig 610 shows two examples of road bridges bridge over river Mijares (main span 64 m) in Betxi-Borriol (Castelloacuten Spain) and bridge over river Jarama (main span 75 m) in Madrid Spain with double composite action in hogging areas

Fig 611 shows a view of Viaduct ldquoArroyo las Piedrasrdquo in the Spanish High Speed Railway Line Coacuterdoba-Maacutelaga This is the first composite steel-concrete Viaduct of the Spanish railway lines with a main span of 635 m

In High Speed bridges the typical twin girder solution for road bridges must improve their torsional stiffness in order to respond to the high speed railway requirements In this case in hogging areas the double composite action is materialized not only for bending but also for torsion

The double composite action was extended to the whole length of the deck to allow the torsion circuit to be closed A strict box cross section is obtained in sagging areas with the use of discontinuous precast slabs only connected to the steel girders for torsion and not for bending

Back to our case study if we change the lower steel flange from 1200x120 mm2 to a smaller one of 1000x60 mm2 plus a 050 m thick bottom slab of concrete C3545 (Fig 612) we could verify the bending resistance to compare both cross sections We could also resize the upper steel flange or even the upper slab reinforcement but for this example we will keep the original ones and only change the lower steel flange

Fig 613 shows a classical solution for composite road bridges with double composite action The bottom concrete slab in hogging areas is extended to a length of 20 or 25 of the main span The maximum thickness at support cross section is 050 m and the minimum thickness at the end of the slab is 025 m Fig 613 defines in red line the thickness distribution of the bottom concrete slab and in green the lower steel flange reduction

142

For the example we are only calculating the ultimate bending resistance of the double composite cross section at support P-1 but it is necessary to clarify some aspects treated by EN-1994-2 related to the double composite action

EN 1994-2 establishes in 5422 (2) the modular ratio simplified method for considering the creep and shrinkage of concrete in a simple composite cross-section For double composite cross sections this simplified method is not fully applicable

EN-1994-2 5422 (10) requires that for double composite cross section with both slabs un-cracked (eg in the case of pre-stressing) the effects of creep and shrinkage should be determined by more accurate methods

Strictly speaking in our case we do not have double composite action with both slabs un-cracked because the upper slab will be cracked and we will neglect its contribution and only consider the upper reinforcement so what we have in hogging areas is a simple composite cross-section with the reinforcement of the upper slab and bottom concrete in compression

631 DETERMINING THE CROSS-SECTION CLASS (ACCORDING TO EN1994-2 552)

The upper flange is in tension therefore it is in Class 1 (EN 1993-1-1 552)

The lower flange is in compression and then must be classified according to (EN 1993-1-1 Table 52)

The steel web could be in fact classified as Class 1

Conclusion The cross-section at support P1 with double composite action is in Class 2 (due to the lower steel flange) and can be checked by plastic section analysis as we said at the beginning of this section

632 PLASTIC SECTION ANALYSIS BENDING RESISTANCE CHECK

If we consider that the PNA is located at a distance x=1815 m from the upper extreme fibre of the upper part of the web then the hogging bending moment resistance of the Class 2 cross-section is

MplRd=-(6304middot(0353+012+1815)+4034middot(013+012+1815)+354middot(006+1815)+ 1628middot(11852) +722middot(08052)+3472middot(0805-025)+201middot(0805+0062))= -14285 MNmiddotm

In comparison with the simple composite action cross-section we have significantly increased the bending moment resistance locally reducing the amount of structural steel just by adding the bottom concrete slab connected to the steel girders

For the final verification MEd should be lower than the ultimate bending resistance MplRd For the example we havenrsquot recalculated the new design bending moment MEd increased by the self weight of the bottom concrete something that of course should had been done in a real case

633 SOME COMMENTS ABOUT AN EVENTUAL CRUSHING OF THE EXTREME FIBRE OF THE BOTTOM CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 6212 (2) establishes that for a composite cross-section with structural steel grade S420 or S460 if the distance between the PNA (xpl) and the extreme fiber of the concrete slab in compression exceeds 15 of the overall depth of the cross section (h) the design resistance moment MRd should be taken as βmiddotMRd reduced by the β factor defined on figure 63 of EN-1994-2 This figure limits this ratio to a maximum value of 40

Although this paragraph applies to the steel grade we could consider limiting the maximum ratio xplh to avoid an eventual crushing of the concrete

In standard composite bridges in sagging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually below the limit of 015 This value generally varies from 010 to 015 so there is not a practical incidence of the reduction of the bending moment resistance

Meanwhile in composite cross-sections with double composite action in hogging bending moment areas the ratio xplh is usually around 25-30 The incidence of the β factor in a real case of double composite action has not a very big influence barely reducing the plastic bending moment resistance of the composite cross-section from 94 to 91 of its total plastic bending resistance

In our case study for the alternative double composite cross-section this ratio is xplh=08653216=0269 This value leads to a β factor of 093 so the reduced bending moment resistance would be βmiddotMRd =093middot(-14285)=-13285 MNmiddotm

In our case study we have considered the resistance of the bottom concrete equal to the upper concrete C3545 but in practice it is not unusual to use higher resistance in the bottom concrete C4050 C4555 or even C5060

64 Verification of the Serviceability Limit States (SLS)

EN-1994-2 71 (1) establishes that a composite bridge shall be designed such that all the relevant SLS are satisfied according to the principles of EN-1990 34 The limit states that concern are

o The functioning of the structure or structural members under normal use

o The comfort of people

o The ldquoappearancerdquo of the construction work This is related with such criteria as high deflections and extensive cracking rather than aesthetics

At SLS under global longitudinal bending the following should be verified

o Stress limitation and web breathing according to EN-1994 72

o Deformations deflections and vibrations according to EN-1994 73

o Cracking of concrete according to EN-1994 74

In this case study we are only analyzing the stress limitation and the cracking of concrete And we will not carry out a deflection or vibration control that should be done according to EN-1994 73

65 Stresses control at Serviceability Limit States

651 CONTROL OF COMPRESSIVE STRESS IN CONCRETE

EN-1994-2 722 (1) establishes that the excessive creep and microcraking of concrete shall be avoided by limiting the compressive stress in concrete EN-1994-2 722 (2) refers to EN-1992-1-1 and EN-1992-2 72 for that limitation

EN-1992-1-1 72 (2) recommends to limit the compressive stress in concrete under the characteristic combination to a value of k1middotfck (k1 is a nationally determined parameter and the recommended value is 060) so as to control the longitudinal cracking of concrete and also recommends to limit compressive stress in concrete under the quasi-permanent loads to k2middotfck (k2 is a national parameter and the recommended value is 045) in order to admit linear creep assumption

Fig 614 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper concrete slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The results for all cross-sections of the bridge are very far from both compression limits 06middotfck=-21 MPa or 045middotfck=-1575 MPa

652 CONTROL OF STRESS IN REINFORCEMENT STEEL BARS

Tensile stresses in the reinforcement shall be limited in order to avoid inelastic strain unacceptable cracking or deformation according to EN-1992-1-1 72(4)

Fig 615 Upper reinforcement layer stress under the characteristic SLS combination

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

147

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if under the characteristic combination of loads the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3middotfsk and where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation the tensile stress should not exceed k4middotfsk k3 and k4 are nationally determined parameters and the recommended values are k3= 08 and k4= 10)

Fig 615 shows the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper reinforcement layer of the slab calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked under the characteristic SLS combination The stress results for all cross-sections of the bridge are widely verified for the example very far from both tensile limits 08middotfsk=400 MPa or 10middotfsk=500 MPa

Note that the stresses calculated with a contributing concrete strength are not equal to zero at the deck ends because of the shrinkage self-balanced stresses (isostatic or primary effects of shrinkage)

When McEd is negative the tension stiffening term ∆σs should be added to the stress values in Fig 52 calculated without taking the concrete strength into account This term ∆σs is in the order of 100 MPa (see paragraph 663)

653 STRESS LIMITATION IN STRUCTURAL STEEL

EN-1994-2 722 (5) refers to EN-1993-2 73 for the stress limitation in structural steel under SLS

For the characteristic SLS combination of actions considering the effect of shear lag in flanges and the secondary effects caused by deflections (if applicable) the following criteria for the normal and shear stresses in the structural steel should be verified (EN-1993-2 73 equations 71 72 and 73)

The partial factor γMser is a national parameter and the recommended value is 10 according to EN-1993-2 72 (note 2)

Strictly speaking the Von Mises criterion of the third equation only makes sense if it is calculated with concomitant stress values

For the verification of the stresses control at SLS the stresses should be considered on the external faces of the steel flanges and not in the flange midplane (EN-1993-1-1 621 (9))

Figs 616 and 617 show the maximum and minimum normal stresses of the upper and lower steel flanges calculated in two different hypotheses upper slab cracked or uncracked

The normal stresses for all cross-sections of the bridge are far from the limit of the yield strength which depends on the steel plate thickness (Figs 616 and 617)

These figures make it clear that the normal stress calculated in the steel flanges without taking the concrete strength into account are logically equal to zero at both deck ends However this is not true for the stresses calculated by taking the concrete strength into account as the self-balanced stresses from shrinkage (still called isostatic effects or primary effects of shrinkage in EN1994-2) were then taken into account

To be safe without increasing the number of stress calculations (and because this criterion is widely verified for the example see Figs 619 and 620) the Von Mises criterion has been assessed for each steel flange by considering the maximum normal stress in this flange and the maximum shear stress in the web (ie non-concomitant stresses and hypotheses on the safe side)

654 ADDITIONAL VERIFICATION OF FATIGUE UNDER A LOW NUMBER OF CYCLES

According to EN-1993-2 73 (2) it is assumed that the nominal stress range in the structural steel framework due to the SLS frequent load combination is limited to

This criterion is used to ensure that the frequent variations remain confined in the strictly linear part (+- 075 fy) of the structural steel stress-strain relationship With this any fatigue problems for a low number of cycles are avoided

655 LIMITATION OF WEB BREATHING

Every time a vehicle crosses the bridge the web gets slightly deformed out of its plane according to the deformed shape of the first buckling mode and then returns to its initial shape This repeated deformation called web breathing is likely to generate fatigue cracks at the weld joint between web and flange or between web and vertical stiffener

According to EN-1993-2 74 (2) for webs without longitudinal stiffeners (or for a sub-panel in a stiffened web) the web breathing occurrence can be avoided for road bridges if

For the design example

Generally speaking this criterion is widely verified for road bridges Otherwise EN1993-2 defines a more accurate criterion (EN-1993 74 (3)) if EN-1993-2 74 (2) is not satisfied based on

o the critical plate buckling stresses of the unstiffened web (or of the sub-panel)

661 MAXIMUM VALUE OF CRACK WIDTH

The maximum values of the crack width are defined in EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N depending on the exposure class (EN-1992-1-1 4 table 41)

For the example we assume that the upper reinforcement of the slab located under the waterproofing layer is XC3 exposure class and the lower reinforcement of the slab is XC4

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

152

According to EN-1992-1-1 731 table 71N for exposure classes XC3 and XC4 the recommended value of the maximum crack width wmax is 03 mm under the quasi-permanent load combination

We will also verify the crack width limited to wmax=03 mm under indirect non-calculated actions (restrained shrinkage) in the tensile zone for the characteristic SLS combination of actions

662 CRACKING OF CONCRETE MINIMUM REINFORCEMENT AREA

The simplified procedure of EN-1994-2 742 (1) requires a minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by

σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

Where

fcteff is the mean value of the tensile strength of the concrete effective at the time when the cracks may first be expected to occur fcteff may be taken as fctm=32 MPa for a concrete C3545 (according to EN-1992-1-1 table 31)

k is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of non-uniform self balanced stresses It may be taken equal to 080 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

ks is a coefficient which accounts for the effect of the reduction of the normal force of the concrete slab due to initial cracking and local slip of the shear connection which may be taken equal to 090 (EN-1994-2 742 (1))

kc is a coefficient which takes into account the stress distribution within the section immediately prior to cracking and is given by

( )= + le

hc is the thickness of the concrete slab excluding any haunch or ribs In our case hc=0307 m

z0 is the vertical distance between the centroid of the uncracked concrete flange and the uncracked composite section calculated using the modular ratio n0 for short term loading In our case for P-1 cross section z0=102677-(0109+03072)= 0764 m and for the P1P2 mid-span cross-section z0=066854-(0109+03072)= 0406 m

σs is the maximum stress permitted in the reinforcement immediately after cracking This may be taken as its characteristic yield strength fsk (according to EN-1994-2 742) In our case fsk=500 MPa

As we have φ 20130 in the upper reinforcement level and φ 16130 in the lower reinforcement level the reinforcement area is (24166+15466) cm2mmiddot60m=23779 cm2gtgt Asmin so the minimum reinforcement of the slab is verified

663 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER DIRECT LOADING

According to EN-1994-2 743 (1) when the minimum reinforcement calculated before (according to EN-1994-2 742) is provided the limitation of crack widths may generally be achieved by limiting the maximum bar diameter (according to EN-1994-2 table 71) and limiting the maximum bar spacing (according to table 72 of EN-1994-2 743) Both limits depend on the stress in the reinforcement and the crack width

The stresses in the reinforcement should be determined taking into account the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks In EN-1994-2 743 (3) there is a simplified procedure for calculating this

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

154

In a composite beam where the concrete slab is assumed to be cracked stresses in reinforcement increase due to the effect of tension stiffening of concrete between cracks compared with the stresses based on a composite section neglecting concrete

Although there could be another section of the bridge with higher tensile stresses in the reinforcement due to the sequence of the concreting phase we will check for the application example only two cross sections over the support P-1 which normally would be the worst section and mid span P-1P-2

At the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) hence

As the tensile stresses in the reinforcement caused by the internal forces acting on the composite section calculated neglecting concrete in tension are

o Support P-1 cross section σs0 =6594 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs0 =2745 MPa

Then the direct tensile stresses in reinforcement σs due to direct loading (according to EN-1994-2 743) are

o Support P-1 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =6594+8523=15117 MPa

o Mid span P-1P-2 cross section σs =σs0 +∆σs =2745+9495=1224 MPa

As both values are below 160 MPa according to table 62 the maximum bar spacing for the design crack width wk=03mm is 300 mm As we have 130 mm the maximum bar spacing is verified

According to table 61 the maximum bar diameter φ for the minimum reinforcement should be 32 mm and

φ = =32

32 353129

mm

As the example verifies the minimum reinforcement established by EN-1994-2 742 (1) the actual maximum diameter used in the longitudinal steel reinforcement is φ 20 lower than the limit established by EN-1994-2 742 (2) and the bar spacing also verifies the limits established by EN-1994-2 742 (3) then the crack width is controlled

664 CONTROL OF CRACKING UNDER INDIRECT LOADING

It has to be verified that the crack widths remain below 03 mm using the indirect method in the tensile zones of the slab for characteristic SLS combination of actions This method assumes that the stress in the reinforcement is known But that is not true under the effect of shrinkages (drying endogenous and thermal shrinkage) The following conventional calculation is then suggested

From the expression of the minimum reinforcement area for the composite beams given by EN-1994-2 742 (1) σ= s s c ct eff ct sA k k kf A

we can get

σ = s s c ct eff ct sk k kf A A

Letacutes consider that this is the stress in the reinforcement due to shrinkage at the cracking instant

In our case for the P-1 cross-section As=23779 cm2 (φ 20130 + φ 16130 in 6 m) and the mid span P-1P-2 cross section As=18559 cm2

This gives

o Support P-1 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (23779x10-4)=18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross section σs=09x10x08x32x195 (18559x10-4)=24208 MPa

High bond bars with diameter φ= 20 mm have been chosen in the upper reinforcement layer of the slab at the support cross-section and φ= 16 mm at the mid-span P-1P-2 cross section This gives

o Support P-1 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=18125 mm

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

156

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section φlowast= φmiddot2932=145 mm

The maximum reinforcement stress is obtained by linear interpolation in Table 71 in EN1994-2

o Support P-1 cross-section 23018 MPa gt18894 MPa

o Mid-span P-1P-2 cross-section 25500 MPagt24208 MPa

Hence both sections are verified

672 DETAILING OF SHEAR CONNECTION

The following construction detailing applies for in-situ poured concrete slabs (EN-1994-2 665) When the slab is precast these provisions may be reviewed paying particular attention to the various instability problems (buckling in the composite upper flange between two groups of shear connectors for example) and to the lack of uniformity of the longitudinal shear flow at the steel-concrete interface (EN-1994-2 6655 (4))

Maximum longitudinal spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6655 (3) to ensure a composite behaviour of the main girder the maximum longitudinal center to center spacing (s) between two successive rows of connectors is limited to smax le min (800 mm 4 hc) with hc the concrete slab thickness

When verifying the mid-span P1P2 cross-section (see paragraph 612) it was considered that the upper structural steel flange in compression was a Class 1 element as it was connected to the concrete slab

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

158

However if we consider the upper flange non-connected to the upper concrete slab according to EN-1993-1-1 table 52 sheet 2 of 3 ctf = ((1000-18)2)40=12275 and that would result a Class 4 flange

as times =fct =12275gt14middot =14 235 345 1155 In order to classify a compressed upper flange connected to the slab as a Class 1 or 2 because of the restraint from shear connectors the headed studs rows should be sufficiently close to each other to prevent buckling between two successive rows (EN-1994-2 6655(2)) This gives an additional criterion in smax

lemaxs 22 235ft fy if the concrete slab is solid and there is contact over the full length

lemaxs 15 235ft fy if the concrete slab is not in contact over the full length (eg slab with transverse ribs) This is not our case

Where tf is the thickness of the upper flange and fy the yield strength of the steel flange

Table 63 summarizes the results of applying both conditions to our case

Only applies for flanges in compression (not in tension)

This criterion is supplemented by EN-1994-2 6655(2) defining a maximum distance between the longitudinal row of shear connectors closest to the free edge of the upper flange in compression ndash to which they are welded ndash and the free edge itself (Fig 622)

Minimum dimensions of the headed studs According to EN-1994-2 6657 (1) and (2) the height of a stud should not be less than 3middotd where d is the diameter of the shank and the head of the stud should have a diameter not less than 15middotd and a depth of at least 04middotd (Fig 623)

Fig 623 Minimum dimensions of a headed stud

As we have studs of d=22 mm the head should have a diameter over 33 mm and a depth of at least 88 mm With a total height of the studs of 200 mm we are far from the limit of 3middotd=66 mm

EN-1994-2 also establishes a condition between the diameter of the connector and the thickness of the steel plate (EN-1994-2 6657 (3)) For studs welded to steel plates in tension subjected to fatigue loading the diameter of the stud should be

le sdot15 fd t

This is widely satisfied in the example with tfmin=55mm in the tensile area and d=22mm

This limitation also applies to steel webs This verification allows the use of the detail category ∆τc = 90 MPa

Clause 6657 (5) establishes that the limit for other elements than plates in tension or webs is dle25middottf

Minimum spacing between rows of connectors

According to EN-1994-2 6656 (4) the longitudinal spacing of studs in the direction of the shear force should be not less than 5d=110 mm in our case while the spacing in the transverse direction to the shear force should be not less than 25d in solid slabs or 4d in other cases In our example 25d=55 mm Both limits are widely fulfilled in the example with strans=250 mm

Criteria related to the stud anchorage in the slab

Where a concrete haunch is used between the upper structural steel flange and the soffit of the concrete slab the sides of the haunch should lie outside a line drawn 45ordm from the outside edge of the connector (Fig 622) (EN-1994-2 6654 (1))

Clause 6654 (2) establishes that the nominal concrete lateral cover from the side of the haunch to the connector should not be less than 50 mm and the clear distance between the lower face of the stud head and the lower reinforcement layer should be not less than 40 mm according to clause

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

6654 (2) This value could be reduced to 30 mm if no concrete haunch is used (EN-1994-2 6651 (1)) (see Fig 622)

673 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE CHARACTERISTIC SLS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

When the structure behaviour remains elastic in a given cross-section each load case from the global longitudinal bending analysis produces a longitudinal shear force per unit length νLk at the interface between the concrete slab and the steel main girder For a girder with uniform moment of area (S) subjected to a continuous bending moment this shear force per unit length is easily deduced from the cross-section properties and the internal forces and moments the girder is subjected to

ν =c k

Where

νLk is the longitudinal shear force per unit length at the interface concrete-steel

Sc is the moment of area of the concrete slab with respect to the centre of gravity of the composite cross-section

I is the second moment of area of the composite cross-section

Vk is the shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis

According to EN-1994-2 6621 (2) to calculate normal stresses when the composite cross-section is ultimately (characteristic SLS combination of actions in this paragraph) subjected to a negative bending moment McEd the concrete is taken as cracked and does not contribute to the cross-section strength But to calculate the shear force per unit length at the interface even if McEd is negative the characteristic cross-section properties Sc and I are calculated by taking the concrete strength into account (uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section)

The final shear force per unit length is obtained by adding algebraically the contributions of each single load case and considering the construction phases As for the normal stresses calculated with an uncracked composite behaviour of the cross-section the modular ratio used in Sc and I is the same as the one used to calculate the corresponding shear force contribution for each single load case

For SLS combination of actions the structure behaviour remains entirely elastic and the longitudinal global bending calculation is performed as an envelope Thus the value of the shear force per unit length is determined in each cross-section at abscissa x by

ν ν ν = min max( ) max ( ) ( )L k k kx x x

Fig 627 shows the variations in this longitudinal shear force per unit length for the characteristic SLS combination of actions for the case of the example

In each cross-section of the deck there should be enough studs to resist all the shear force per unit length

For example for the segment [500 m 625 m] around the support P1 the shear force per unit length obtained in absolute value for characteristic SLS combination of actions is as follows (in MNm)

674 CONNECTION DESIGN FOR THE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS OTHER THAN FATIGUE

6741 Elastic design

Whatever the behaviour of the bridge at ULS ndash elastic in all cross-sections or elasto-plastic in some cross-sections ndash the design of the connection at ULS starts by an elastic calculation of the shear force per unit length at the interface steel-concrete by elastic analysis with the cross-sections properties of the uncracked section taking into account the effects of construction (EN-1994 6622 (4)) following the same procedure as made for SLS in the previous paragraph

In each cross-section the shear force per unit length at ULS is therefore given by

VEd is the design shear force for the considered load case and coming from the elastic global cracked analysis considering the constructive procedure

Fig 628 shows the variations in this design longitudinal shear force per unit length for the ULS combination of actions for the case of the example

According to EN-1994-2 6612 (1) the number of shear connectors (headed studs) per unit length constant per segment should verify the following two criteria

Fig 628 ULS shear force per unit length resisted by the headed studs

6742 Design with plastic zones in sagging bending areas

If a cross-section with a positive bending moment at ULS has partially yielded the previous elastic calculation made for the ULS combination of actions should be supplemented (EN-1994-2 6622 (1))

As far as the structure behaviour is no longer elastic the relationship between the shear force per unit length and the global internal forces and moments is no longer linear Therefore the previous elastic calculation becomes inaccurate In a plastic zone the shear connection is normally heavily loaded and a significant bending moment redistribution occurs between close cross-sections

In our case although the mid-span cross-sections are Class 1 sections no yielding occurs as we can see on Fig 61 with a medium tensile value for the lower flange of 3429MPa lt fy=345MPa There is therefore no need to perform the more complex calculations established by EN-1994-2 in clauses 6622 (2) and (3)

675 SYNOPSIS OF THE DESIGN EXAMPLE

Paragraphs 673 and 674 summarize respectively the connection design at SLS and ULS Fig 629 shows the results of the spacing of rows of 4 headed stud connectors resulting from the design at SLS (red solid line) the design at ULS (orange solid line) and the results of applying the maximum spacing requirements (green solid line) defined in paragraph 671 according to EN-1994-2

Fig 629 Envelope of spacing of rows of 4 connectors after connection dimensioning

As described before we have used an engineering criterion of dimensioning the spacing of rows of connectors with 50 mm steps This figure also shows the final envelope (in black dotted line) resulting from the three mentioned conditions and with the provision of symmetrical spacing design of the connection in the total length of the bridge Although that could not be theoretically necessary constructively thinking it is absolutely convenient

Note that in general the SLS criteria nearly always govern the design over the ULS requirements except for the sections around the mid-span In these zones the spacing just necessary to resist the SLS shear flow becomes too large to avoid buckling in the steel flange between two successive stud rows And then the governing criterion becomes the construction detailing

676 DESIGN OF THE SHEAR CONNECTION FOR THE FATIGUE ULS COMBINATION OF ACTIONS

In this paragraph we summarize the fatigue verification that has to be performed to confirm the design of the connection already performed in previous paragraphs under SLS and ULS combination of actions

Once the connection is designed and decided the final spacing of rows of connectors fatigue ULS of the connectors has to be verified according to EN-1994-2 section 68

The fatigue load model FLM3 induces the following stress ranges

o ∆τ shear stress range in the stud shank calculated at the level of its weld on the upper structural steel flange

Unlike normal stress range the shear stresses at the steel-concrete interface are calculated using the uncracked cross-section mechanical properties The shear stress for the basic combination of non-cyclic loads (EN1992-1-1 683) has therefore no influence ∆τ is thus deduced from variations in the shear force per unit length under the FLM3 crossing only ndash noted ∆νLFLM3 ndash by taking account of its transverse location on the

For bridges the damage equivalent factor λv for headed studs in shear should be determined from λv= λv1middotλv2middotλv3middotλv4 (EN-1994-2 6862 (3))

Factors λv2 to λv4 should be determined in accordance with EN-1993-2 952 (3) to (6) but using exponents 8 and 18 instead of 5 and 15 to allow for the relevant slope m=8 of the fatigue strength curve for headed studs given in EN-1994-2 683 (3)

In general once the connection at the steel-concrete interface is designed under the SLS and ULS combination of actions and the final spacing of connectors is decided fulfilling the maximum spacing limits established by EN-1994-2 (see paragraphs 672 to 675) the fatigue ULS verification does not influence the design of the connection

Figure 630 shows the verification of the connection under the fatigue ULS for the case of the example and Figure 631 shows the spacing of the rows of 4 studs under the fatigue ULS

677 INFLUENCE OF SHRINKAGE AND THERMAL ACTION ON THE CONNECTION DESIGN AT BOTH DECK ENDS

The shear force per unit length at the steelconcrete interface used in the previous calculations only takes account of hyperstatic (or secondary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions It is therefore necessary to also verify according to EN-1994-2 6624 (1) that sufficient shear connectors have been put in place at both free deck ends to anchor the shear force per unit length coming from the isostatic (or primary) effects of shrinkage and thermal actions

The first step is to calculate ndash in the cross-section at a distance Lv from the free deck end (anchorage length) ndash the normal stresses due to the isostatic effects of the shrinkage (envelope of short-term and long-term calculations) and thermal actions

Integrating these stresses over the slab area gives the longitudinal shear force at the steelconcrete interface for the two considered load cases

The second step is to determine the maximum longitudinal spacing between stud rows over the length Lv which is necessary to resist the corresponding shear force per unit length The calculation is performed for ULS combination of actions only In this case EN1994-2 6624 (3) considers that the studs are ductile enough for the shear force per unit length vLEd to be assumed constant over the anchorage length Lv This length is taken as equal to beff which is the effective slab width in the global analysis at mid-end span (6 m for this example)

All calculations performed for the design example a maximum longitudinal shear force of 215 MN is obtained at the steelconcrete interface under shrinkage action (obtained with the long-term calculation) and 114 MN under thermal actions

This therefore gives VLEd = 10x215 + 15x114 = 386 MN for ULS combination of actions

Chapter 6 Composite bridge design (EN1994-2) - M Ortega Cornejo J Raoul

172

Notice that according to EN-1992-1-1 2421 (1) the recommended partial factor for shrinkage action is γSH=10

The design value of the shear flow νLEd (at ULS) and then the maximum spacing smax over the anchorage length Lv= beff between the stud rows are as follows

Ps

This spacing is significantly higher than the one already obtained through previous verifications (see Fig 79) As it is generally the case the anchorage of the shrinkage and thermal actions at the free deck ends does not govern the connection design

Notes

o To simplify the design example the favourable effects of the permanent loads are not taken into account (self-weight and non-structural bridge equipments) Anyway they cause a shear flow which is in the opposite direction to the shear flow caused by shrinkage and thermal actions So the suggested calculation is on the safe side

Note that it is not always true For instance for a cross-girder in a cantilever outside the main steel girder and connected to the concrete slab the shear flow coming from external load cases should be added to the shear flow coming from shrinkage and thermal actions Finally the shear flow for ULS combination of these actions should be anchored at the free end of the cross-girder

o EN1994-2 6624(3) suggests that the same verification could be performed by using the shear flow for SLS combination of actions and a triangular variation between the end cross-section and the one at the distance Lv However this will never govern the connection design and it is not explicitly required by section 7 of EN1994-2 dealing with the SLS justifications
