USING THEORY OF PLATE TO DESIGN THE SLAB TYPE REINFORCED CONCRETE OF THE BRIDGE

This study is undertaken to develop a more realistic analysis of rectangular concrete slab bridge. The bridge isconsidered to be simply supported on two opposite edges while the other two edges are stiffened by curbs. It is anticipated that the proposed method for designing this type of bridge will result in a more economical structure compared to the one using current design method. The problems involved in the application of the isotropic plate theory to bridge design are examined. The effects of bridge geometry on the adequacy of the design are investigated. A computer program will be utilized for obtaining numerical results. (TRRL)
