LRFD Live Load Distribution Factors*

Live Load Distribution Factors are calculated according to AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 4th Edition
(2007, with no interim revisions) as prescribed by TxDOT policies (LRFD Design Manual July 2008) and practices.
The Range of Applicability is ignored.

*For typical cross section g, j, and i (if the beams are connected only enough to prevent relative verticle displacement at the
interfaces). Table 4.6.2.2.1-1 (Slab Beams, Decked Slab Beams, and Double Tee Beams )

Results
Final LLDF:
Interior LLDF, gInt = 0.429
Exterior LLDF, gExt = 0.429

The Final LLDF may be modified according to the following TxDOT

policies:
Use Table 4.6.2.2.2b-1, using cross section(g, i, and j), for shear and
moment LLDF on the all beams.
No skew correction factor are applied.
Decked Slab Beams and Double Tee Beams have a maximum LLDF
of S/10.
In no case shall the LLDF be less than mNLNb.

CALCULATIONS:
Equation

(Table 4.6.2.2.2b-1)
K=

0.60

C = K (W / L) K
C = 0.6 * (30 / 28.6) 0.6 =

0.60

D = 11.5 - NL + 1.4 NL (1 - 0.2 C)

D = 11.5 - 2 + 1.4 * 2 * (1 - 0.2 * 0.60)
D=

11.7

S/D = 5 / 11.7 =

0.429

Minimum LLDF
TxDOT Policy states g must be mNLNb
mNLNb =

0.333

TxDOT uses Table 4.6.2.2.2b-1 for all

LLDF.

TxDOT does not apply a skew

correction factor.
