| Summary: | carried by the deck slab if no diaphragms are present. come close to actual diaphragm forces measured on three Diaphragms have been shown to have no contribution to lateral different bridges. distribution of live load as far as design of longitudinal for bridges with high skewness, and a correction factor for for the prediction of diaphragm member forces under vehicle from orthotropic plate theory. These forces also increase Inclusion of diaphragm in the design of a highway bridge may increase the required moment capacity for exterior girders if live load for both the strength and fatigue limit states. steel girders is concerned. However, they do distribute the that the diaphragm forces predicted by the developed method the vehicle-girder distance is large. A method is presented These forces are shown to vary significantly among bridges this is included in the method. Field data is used to confirm transverse moments in a bridge which must otherwise be where 8 is a property based upon bridge geometry and derived with different diaphragm-deck stiffness ratios and 0 values, |
