    The document provides information to calculate load intensities on a bridge with a 10m wide carriageway and 4m wide footways on each side. The live load intensity on the footways is 4 kN/m^2 for the first meter and decreases to 3.4 kN/m^2 and 2.8 kN/m^2 further from the carriageway. The accidental wheel loading on the footways is a single 500kN load. Horizontal loads due to vehicle collision with parapets are placed anywhere along the parapets.

    Note : Put the load any where
    Clause 6.5.1 Nominal Live Load
    (Footway/Cycle Track)
    • Clause 7.1.1, for loaded length 40m >36m, nominal live
    load on elements supporting footways/cycle track only =
    k(5.0) kN/m2
    = (0.9)5.0 = 4.5 kN/m2
    • Clause 6.5.1 nominal load for elements which support
    footways/cycle tracks and a highway loading = 0.8(4.5) =
    3.6 kN/m2
    • Since width of footway 3m > 2m,
    Load intensity on first 1m = 3.6 kN/m2
    Load intensity on 2nd 1m = 3.6=3.6 kN/m2
    Load intensity on other 1m = 0.85(3.6)= 3.06 kN/m2
    • Average intensity = (3.6+3.6 + 3.06)/3 = 3.35 kN/m2
