§ 4.6.2.2.3c Shear Distribution - Skewed Bridges

Correction for Skewed Bridges:


The shear forces in beams of skewed bridges shall be adjusted
with a skew of 0 60
0.3
12 Lt s3
DFV' 1.0 0.20 Tan DFV
Kg

Note that this adjustment is for SUPPORT shear at the obtuse


corner of the exterior beam, except in multibeam bridges when it
is applied to all beams (Article 4.6.2.2.3c).

Note: an adjacent box girder is an example of a multibeam bridge.

En las secciones transversales de puentes de viga y losa con diafragmas o marcos transversales, el factor de
distribución para la viga exterior no se deberá tomar menor que el que se obtendría suponiendo que la
sección transversal se deforma y rota como una sección transversal rígida. Se aplicarán los requisitos del

§ 4.6.2.2.1 Dead Load Distribution

“Where bridges meet the conditions specified herein, permanent loads


of and on the deck may be distributed uniformly among the beams
and/or stringers. For this type of bridge, the conditions are:”

Width of deck is constant


Unless otherwise specified, the number of beams is not less than four
Beams are parallel and have approximately the same stiffness
Unless otherwise specified, the roadway part of the overhang, de, does
not exceed 3.0 ft
Curvature in plan is less then the limit specified in Article 4.6.1.2
Cross-section is consistent with one of the cross-sections shown Table
4.6.2.2.1-1
