Load Modifiers

751.35.2.2 Loads

Dead Loads

Loads from beams, girders, etc. shall be applied as concentrated loads applied at the centerline of bearing. Loads from concrete slab spans shall be applied as uniformly distributed loads.

Live Loads

Loads from beams, girders, etc. shall be applied as concentrated loads applied at the centerline of bearing. Dynamic load allowance (impact) should be included for the design of the beam. No dynamic load allowance should be included for foundation design.

For wings with detached wing walls, no portion of the bridge live load shall be distributed to the detached wall. The detached wing wall shall be designed as a retaining wall. The weight of the barrier or railing on top of the wall shall be included in the dead load.

Collision

Collision shall be designed if abutments are located within a distance of 30.0 feet to the edge of roadway, or within a distance of 50.0 feet to the centerline of a railway track and conditions do not qualify for exemptions given in EPG 751.2.2.6.

751.35.2.3 General Design Assumptions

Beam

The beam shall be assumed continuous over supports at centerline of piles.

One half of the dead load of the approach slab shall be included in the beam design.

Wing

The standard horizontal reinforcement shown below was designed for soil pressure, EH, live load surcharge, LS and a railing collision force, CT for Extreme Limit State II Load Combination.

The minimum steel placed horizontally in wings shall be as shown in the figure below.

Part Section Thru Beam

751.35.2.4 End Bent Analysis

The following steps shall be used to design integral end bents.

751.35.2.4.1 Beam Cap Design

Step 1 – Obtain loads from superstructure

The live load reactions (LL), dead load of structural components (DC), and dead load of future wearing surface (DW) will be needed to design the end bents. Strength I Load Combination will be used to design the reinforcement.

Step 2 – Design bearing pads or girder chairs

From the loads obtained in Step 1, design the bearing pads or girder chairs according to EPG 751.11.

Step 3 – Find beam cap width

The standard beam cap width will be 3’-0”. However, if the bearing pad size required exceeds the allowable edge distance, the beam cap width may be widened. The bearing pads shall be centered over the centerline of pile location, which is 15” away from the stream or crossing face of the cap.

Step 4 – Design longitudinal steel in beam cap

If the centerline of bearing is 12” or less on the centerline of piles, use 4 - #6 bars at the top and bottom of the beam cap. Otherwise, the ultimate moment used for designing the longitudinal steel shall be approximated by the following equation and figure. The loads shall be factored according to the Strength I Load Combination.

$\,M_{u}=0.2R_{u}L+0.13WL^{2}$

Where:

$\,R_{u}$	= maximum interior girder reaction of factored superstructure loads, kips.
$\,L$	= pile spacing, ft.
$\,W$	= factored substructure loads equally distributed across the beam, k/ft.

Basic Assumption for Beam Analysis

A minimum of 4 - #6 Bars shall be used for the longitudinal steel in the beam cap. If more steel is required, increase bar size and keep the number of bars to 4. For example, use 4 - #7 bars instead of 5 - #6 bars.

The minimum reinforcement and bar spacing shall also be checked against the appropriate limits.

751.35.2.4.2 Pile Design

Follow Fig. 751.35.2.4.2 flowchart and select applicable pile design method from following list:

1. Rigorous pile design procedure

2. Simple pile design procedure

3. Design pile in accordance with LRFD specification

Fig. 751.35.2.4.2 Integral Abutment Pile Design Flowchart

751.35.2.4.2.1 Rigorous Pile Design Procedure

See Development Section, Structural Project Manager (SPM), or Structural Liaison Engineer (SLE), or 17-01-SEP-New Integral End Bent Pile Design Procedure.

751.35.2.4.2.2 Simple Pile Design Procedure

Use this procedure if bridge meets the length and skew limits tabulized in Fig. 751.35.2.4.2, Integral Abutment Pile Design Flowchart, bridge does not require a complete seismic analysis and where scour can be ignored.

Simple curved structures following similar length and skew limits are allowed. Complex thermal movements may require rigorous procedure.

Minimum pile embedment, See EPG 751.1.2.22 Types of Piling.

Rotate HP piles for skews over 45°, resulting in strong axis parallel to center line of beam cap.

Show pile prebore elevation on the plan where applicable in accordance with flowchart. Side friction in prebored areas shall be ignored.

See EPG 751.36.5.7.1 Integral End Bent Simple Pile Design for typical pile design values.

751.35.2.5 Beam Reinforcement Special Cases

SPECIAL CASE I

If centerline bearing is 12" or less on either side of centerline piles, for all piles (as shown below), use 4-#6 top and bottom and #4 at 12" cts. (stirrups), regardless of pile size.

SPECIAL CASE II

When beam reinforcement is to be designed assuming piles to take equal force, design for negative moment in the beam over the interior piles.

751.35.3.3 Prestressed Girder End Bent

(1) See EPG 751.12 Protective Barriers for barrier or railing details.

(2) Keep 1 1/2" minimum clear cover for reinforcement between approach notch and girder. Increase beam width (1" increments) to get the 1 1/2" clear cover if necessary.

(3) Use 1” plus half of bearing pad length when bearing pads are used. Use 3 ½” minimum for NU Standard Girders and 5” minimum for MoDOT Standard Girders when girder chairs are used.

(4) 12" minimum at gutter line at end of slab.

(5) All concrete in the end bent above top of beam and below top of slab shall be Class B-2.

(6) Provide a minimum of 8" clearance from outside edge of pile to face of beam. For pile greater than 14” wide (diameter), shifting pile centerline towards fill face is preferred based on structural considerations (eccentric load to pile). Otherwise, increase beam width (1” increments) toward front face in order to meet 8” minimum clearance.

Example:

Pile size = 16”

Option I (preferred): Shift pile centerline 1” toward fill face and consider eccentric load to the pile.

Minimum beam width = 20”+16”=3’-0”

Option II: Increase beam width 1” toward front face.

Minimum beam width = 21”+16”=3’-1”

(7) See Design Layout for maximum spill slope.

Note:	Neoprene bearing pads are to be used on integral bents (prestressed structures) if pad size and beam clearance permit; otherwise, use girder chairs. See EPG 751.11.3.6 Girder/Beam Chairs for additional girder chair details.
	Squared beam steps are shown. Steps may be skewed to facilitate placement of U1 and V1 stirrup bars. See EPG 751.35.4 Reinforcement for details.
*	18" minimum, 2'-0" maximum; provide a minimum of 8" clearance from outside edge of pile to outside face of beam.

751.35.3.4 Steel Girder or Beam End Bent

(1) See EPG 751.12 Protective Barriers for barrier or railing details.

(2) Keep 1 1/2" minimum clear cover for reinforcement between approach notch and girder. Increase abutment beam width (1" increments) to get the 1 1/2" clear cover if necessary.

(3) Use 1" plus half of bearing pad length when bearing pads are used. Use 3" minimum when girder chairs are used.

(4) 12" minimum at gutter line at end of slab.

(5) All concrete in the end bent above top of beam and below top of slab shall be Class B-2.

(6) Provide a minimum of 8" clearance from outside edge of pile to face of beam. For pile greater than 14” wide (diameter), shifting pile centerline toward fill face is preferred based on structural considerations (eccentric load to pile). Otherwise, increase beam width (1” increments) toward front face in order to meet 8” minimum clearance.

Example:

Pile size = 16”

Option I (preferred): Shift pile centerline 1” toward fill face and consider eccentric load to the pile.

Minimum beam width = 20”+16”=3’-0”

Option II: Increase beam width 1” toward front face.

Minimum beam width = 21”+16”=3’-1”

(7) See Design Layout for maximum spill slope.

Note:	Neoprene bearing pads are to be used on integral bents (steel structures) if pad size and beam clearance permit; otherwise, use girder chairs. See EPG 751.11.3.6 Girder/Beam Chairs for additional girder chair details.
	Squared beam steps are shown. Steps may be skewed to facilitate placement of U1 and V1 stirrup bars See EPG 751.35.4 Reinforcement for details.
