CALCULATION OF BRAKING FORCE

As per AASHTO LRFD 2012 Clause 3.6.4 explains calculation of

Braking Force

1) 25% of Axle Weights of Design Truck

No. of Lanes = 2
Multiple Presence Factor = 1
For HL-93 Total Axle Weight = 72 kips
BR1 = 36.00 kips

2) 5% of Design Truck Plus Lane Load

Design Lane Load = 0.64 kip/ft (As per AASHTO)

Span of Bridge = 30 m 98.43
BR2 = 6.75 kips

3) 5% of Design Tandem Plus Lane Load

Design Lane Load = 0.64 kip/ft (As per AASHTO)

Span of Bridge = 30 m 98.43
Total Axle Weight of Tandem = 50 kips
BR3 = 5.65 kips

Therefore BR = 36.00 kips

No. of Girders or Bearing = 2
BR per Girder or Bearing = 18 kips
Deck Thickness = 0 mm 0.00
Wearing Thickness = 50 mm 0.16
Girder Depth = 1600 mm 5.25
Moment Arm = 6ft+Deck Th.+Wearing Th.+Girder Depth
Transom Depth = 1200 mm 3.94
Moment Arm = 13.58 ft
Moment = 244.48 kip-ft

C= (4*V^2)/(3*g*R)

R= 250 m

V= 45.5672 ft/sec

C= 0.1048193137

No. of Lanes = 2

No. of Bearings = 2

distance b/w Bearings = 2.6 m

Span = 29.5 m
AXIAL FORC
Girder depth 1.4 m

Transome Depth 1.4 m

LOAD of one HL-93 Truck = (32+32+8) Kips

TOTAL LOAD of HL-93 Truck for no. of lanes= 65.33575 Tons

Total Transverse force at center of vehicle = 6.848449 Tons

Transverse force component per bearing = 3 Tons

Axial Component per bearing = 10 Tons

HL-93 length 8.533984 m

centrifugal force per meter length 0.80 Tons/M

moment due to centrifugal force= 1.47 ton-m/M
