LRFD

This document discusses the evolution of bridge design specifications in the United States from the 1930s to present day. It provides background on the Federal Highway Administration and its role in providing funding and technical support to states for transportation infrastructure projects. It then outlines how the adoption of Load and Resistance Factor Design specifications in the 1990s helped modernize design standards and improve bridge safety, reliability, and longevity across most U.S. states.

Basic Concepts
•Visualize flow of stresses and sketch a strut-tie model to transfer load to the
supports, where:
•Compressive forces are resisted by concrete “struts”
•Tensile forces are resisted by steel “ties”
•Struts and ties meet at “nodes”
•For best serviceability, the model should follow the elastic flow of forces

Examples of Good and Poor
Strut-and-Tie Models

1. Shortest & stiffest path to supports


2. Minimum release of energy (min cracks)
STM Procedures
1. Visualize flow of stresses
2. Sketch an idealized strut-
and-tie model
3. Select area of ties
4. Check nodal zone stresses
5. Check strength of struts
6. Provide adequate
anchorage for ties
7. Provide crack control
reinforcement

Pr = φPn (5.6.3.2-1)
where:
Pr = Factored resistance of strut or tie
Pn = Nominal resistance of strut or tie
φ = Resistance factor for tension or compression (5.5.4.2)
For compression in strut-and-tie models….0.70
For compression in anchorage zones:
normal weight concrete……………….0.80
lightweight concrete……………………0.65
For tension in steel in anchorage zones…...1.00
For tension of reinforced concrete………….0.90
For tension of prestressed concrete.………1.00
5.6.3.3 Proportioning of Compressive Struts
5.6.3.3.1 Strength of Unreinforced Strut

Pn = f cu Acs (5.6.3.3.1-1)

5.6.3.3.4 Reinforced Strut


Pn = f cu Acs + f y Ass (5.6.3.3.4-1)

where:
fcu = limiting compressive stress as specified in
Article 5.6.3.3.3
Acs = effective cross-sectional area of strut as
specified in Article 5.6.3.3.2
Ass = area of reinforcement in the strut
Factors Affecting Size of Strut

Width of the strut is affected by:


• Location and distribution of reinforcement (tie)
and its anchorage
• Size and location of bearing

reinforcement
Ast = total area of longitudinal mild steel reinforcement
in the tie
Aps = area of prestressing steel
fpe = stress in prestressing steel due to prestress after
losses
5.6.3.5 Proportioning of Node Regions

The concrete compressive


stress in the node regions of
the strut shall not exceed:

• For node regions bounded by


compressive struts and
bearing areas: ……….0.85 φ f′c

• For node regions anchoring a


one-direction tension tie:
………..………..……….0.75 φ f′c

• For node regions anchoring


tension ties in more than one
direction:..…..…………0.65 φ f′c
