Live Load Distribution in Prestressed Concrete Girder Bridges with Curved Slab
This paper presents the live load distribution in straight prestressed concrete (PSC) girder bridges with curved deck slab utilizing finite element analyses. Numerical modeling methodology was established and calibrated based on field testing results. A parametric study of 73 cases with varying 6 critical parameters was used to determine a trend over each parameter. Through live load girder distribution factor (GDF) comparisons between the AASHTO LRFD, AASHTO Standard factors and finite element analyses results, both AASHTO live load distribution predicted conservatively in most bridges considered in the parametric study. However, in the bridges with curved slab, GDF was underestimated due to curvature influences. This study proposes a new live load distribution formula to predict rational and conservative live load distribution in PSC girder bridges with curved slab for a preliminary design purpose. The proposed live load distribution provides better live load analysis for the PSC girder bridge with curved slab and ensures the GDF is not underestimated.
