National Technical Reports Library

The National Technical Information Service acquires, indexes, abstracts, and archives the largest collection of U.S. government-sponsored technical reports in existence. The NTRL offers online, free and open access to these authenticated government technical reports. Technical reports and documents in its repository may be available online for free either from the issuing federal agency, the U.S. Government Publishing Office’s Federal Digital System website, or through search engines.

Seismic Design of Bridges Design Example No. 3: Single Span AASHTO Precast Girder Bridge.

PB97141329

Publication Date	1996
Personal Author	Mast, R.; Marsh, L.; Spry, C.; Johnson, S.; Griebenow, R.; Guarre, J.; Wilson, W.
Page Count	126
Abstract	This document describes one of seven seismic design examples that illustrate 'how' to apply AASHTO's seismic analysis and design requirements on actual different bridge types across the United States. Each provides a complete set of 'designer's notes' covering the seismic analysis, design, and details for that particular bridge including flow charts, references to applicable AASHTO requirements, and thorough commentary that explains each step. In addition, each example highlights separate issues (skew effects, wall piers, elastomeric bearings, pile foundations, etc.). The third example is a skewed 70 feet single span prestressed concrete girder bridge with tall-closed seat-type abutments on spread footings, SPC-C & A equals 0.36g.
