Sycamore Canyon Pedestrian Bridge

Sec. 1. References
The proposed design is a continuous two-span pedestrian bridge to be built in Sycamore Canyon located
in East San Diego County. The purpose of this bridge is to allow safe passage for pedestrians across the 5
lane low-volume roadway that is set in a small valley.
The bridge is composed of two continuous identical 46 ft long double T girders that are supported on two
neoprene bearings at each abutment and by a moment resisting bent-cap at midspan. The bent cap is
supported by an inclined column as determined by the state landscape architect for aesthetic reasons. The
depth of the slab(Deck) is 8 in and the depth of the girder is 36 in in accordance to ACI 318-11 Table
9.5(a). The column has a diameter of 4 ft.
The concrete used has a compressive strength of 4.0ksi. The grade of the steel reinforcement is ASCE
A706 Grade 60, fy=60 ksi.

Figure 1. Elevation View of Proposed Roadway Crossing


Sec. 2. Dimensions & Section property
2.a Slab/Deck
The design of the slab is shown in Figure 2 below. It has a thickness of 6 inches at the two edges and a
overall depth of 8 inches at the center. The top of the slab has a length of 186 inches while its bottom is
160 inches long. The slab is assumed to consist of a series of 1 foot long one-way solid planks supported
by the girders. The left and right ends of the planks are modeled as cantilevers. The cross-section of the
slab is shown in Figure 3, and Figure 4 shows the simplified model.
The overall thickness of the slab is demanded to be at least 8 deep by the client, while it should also
satisfy ACI 318-11 codes. In this case, the ratio of the span is less than . According to Table 9.5 (a) of
ACI 318-11, the depth should be greater than L/20 for one way solid slab and simply supported structure.
Therefore, the depth of the slab is determined to be 8 inches by Equation 1 below.
h=max(144/20 in, 8 in)= 8
Equation 1.

2. b Girder
The girder is simplified into 4 sections of lengths 2ft, 46 ft, 46 ft, and 2ft with supports 2 feet from the
end of each span and an inclined column at midspan.The simplified model is shown in Figure 6.

Figure 6. Simplified Model of Girder ( inches)

SE 151A
Design of Reinforced Concrete

Sycamore Canyon Pedestrian Bridge

Using the simplified model, the girder depth can be determined based on ACI 318-11 Table 9.5(a). The
2ft span is too short to be considered to provide continuity therefore the 552 inches span is treated as one
end continuous. In general, a section is considered continuous if its length exceeds 1/4th of the main
length. Based on Table 9.5(a), the minimum thickness h for one end continuous solid one-way slab is
determined by Equation 2:
h=L/18.5=552/18.5=29.8 Equation 2.
To simplify manufacturing, the depth of the girder is determined to be 36. The dimensions of the cross
section of the double T girder are shown in Figure 7.

Based on the dimensions of the girder, its section properties are calculated in Table 2. Detail calculations
is shown in Figure 8 in Appendix .

Sec. 3. Design loads


3 a. Slab (Deck)
The design loads of the slab consisted of the self-weight of the pedestrian bridge, the superimposed dead
loads of the asphalt and handrail, and the live loads.
i. Dead load
The pedestrian bridge is made of concrete with a unit weight of c=150pcf. The self-weight can be
modeled as distributed trapezoidal loads as shown in Figure 12.

Figure 12. Distributed load of concrete self-weight

SE 151A
Design of Reinforced Concrete

Sycamore Canyon Pedestrian Bridge

ii. Superimposed Dead load


The first superimposed dead load consisted of the uniform distributed load of the asphalt, which has a unit
weight A=101 pcf. This design load is shown in Figure 13. The second superimposed dead load is
composed of the point loads due to the weight of the handrail with linear weight of 68.5 lb/ft.This is
shown in Figure 14.

Figure 13. superimposed dead load of asphalt

Figure 14. superimposed dead load of handrails

iii. Live load


The applied live load is 86 lb/ft that can act anywhere on the entire deck.
3.b. Girder
The design loads imposed on the Girder are composed of the self-weight of the pedestrian bridge, the
superimposed dead loads of the asphalt and handrail, and the live loads.
i. Dead load
The pedestrian bridge is made of concrete with a unit weight of c=150 pcf. The self-weight dead load is
composed of 3 components: the self-weight of the girder, which is idealized as uniform distributed loads,
the self-weight of the bent cap, which is idealized as a point load located at the midspan and the selfweight of the column, which is idealized as a uniform distributed load along the length of the column
acting in the direction of gravity. This can be seen in Figure 15 below.

Figure 15. Self-weight dead load of concrete Girder


ii. Superimposed Dead load
The first superimposed dead load consisted of the uniform distributed load of the asphalt, which has a unit
weight A=101 pcf. This design load is shown in Figure 16. The second superimposed dead load is a
uniform distributed load due to the weight of the handrail shown below in Figure 17

5. Slab/Deck Design
a. Flexural Design of Critical Sections
In the deck design, the goal is to ensure that the reinforced concrete has a ductile tension-controlled
failure mode. This can be achieved by ensuring c/dt 0.375 and ensuring that a sufficient amount of
tensile reinforcement is present in the section to absorb the cracking moment. The other goal of the
flexural design is to provide enough concrete cover for the section. A rough design for a single layer of
tensile reinforcement for the positive bending moment and a single reinforcement layer for the negative
bending moment is shown in Figure 28 below.

Figure 28. Rough Design of Reinforcement (unit in inches)


Equation 1 is used to determine the design tensile strength Mn for the reinforced rectangular beam under
the conditions that the tensile reinforcement has yielded and when the sections extreme fiber in
compression crushes at an assumed compressive strain 0.003.
When equation 1 is divided and multiplied by the effective section area b*d as shown in Figure 29,
Equation 2 can be obtained. Equation 3 represents the tensile reinforcement ratio. If Equation 3 and 4 is
substituted into Equation 2, the formula of the design flexural moment can be obtained in Equation 5.

Figure 29. Effective section area


Assuming a tension-controlled failure will occur when the extreme layer of tension reinforcement is
t0.005 based on page 40 in ACI 318-11. Based on the derivation in Figure 30, Equation 6 can be
obtained.

22

SE 151A
Design of Reinforced Concrete

Sycamore Canyon Pedestrian Bridge

Figure 30. strain profile for tension-controlled failure


By equating Equation 4 and Equation 6 and setting d=dt, Equation 7 can be derived; therefore, the
maximum tensile reinforcement ratio is expressed in Equation 8.

To ensure there is enough tensile reinforcement to resist the cracking moment, the minimum
reinforcement area is defined by Equation 9 based on ACI 318-11 Section 10.5.

This Equation is nearly the equivalent to:

Therefore, in this design phase, the goal is to

make sure:
Based on ACI 318-11. Section 7.7.1 (b), the concrete cover for #5 bars and smaller is 1 to 1.5.
Table 5 below shows five analyzed reinforcement sections to check if they meet the design requirements.

From Section 4, the maximum negative moment of the deck is -5.09 kip-ft and the maximum positive
moment is 0.484 kip-ft. While top reinforcement corresponds to negative moment, bottom reinforcement
corresponds to positive moment. The optimum design should satisfy the two criteria:

For negative bending, the reinforcement should meet the cracking moment requirement, and thus has the
same design as the reinforcement design for positive moment. Therefore, the finalized design is #4 @ 6
O.C. for both the upper and bottom deck reinforcements.

24

Design of Reinforced Concrete

Sycamore Canyon Pedestrian Bridge

b. Design for shear


Since the deck is a solid one-way slab, a simplified method is used to determine the shear reinforcement
required for each section and will be further explained in details in Section 6.d. There are 4 types of shear
reinforcement specifications possible in total. Each is based on the relative values of Vc and Vu, where
Vc is the factored concrete shear strength, and Vu is the ultimate required shear strength.
Vc is calculated using Equation 10 below, which can be found in section 11.2.1.1 of ACI 318-11. is
0.75 based on 9.3.2.3 of ACI 318-11. Vu can be found from section 4 of the design envelope generated by
SAP2000 model analysis. Vc of the slab is calculated to be 9.49 kips and Vu is 1.79 kips, based on the
analysis. Based on these values, the section is classified as Type I because Vc/2Vu and thus no need for
shear reinforcement. This case can be found in ACI 318-11 Section 11.4.6.1. The calculation of shear
design can be found in Figure 31 in Appendix.

6. Girder Design
The design of the girder can be split into two parts. The first part is from the left rubber bearing support to
the face of the bent cap (A-B). The second part is from the face of the bent cap to the face of the right
rubber bearing (B-C). For simplicity and conservatism, the design of both sections can be taken as the
larger value of the two negative and positive ultimate moments. From the previous section, the larger
value of positive moment is located in the right span: +Mu=1040 kip-ft and the larger value of negative
moment is -Mu= -1310 kip-ft. Our design goal is to achieve a tension controlled failure mode and the
design moment capacity must be greater than 1.2 times of the cracking moment.
a. Flexure Design of Critical Section
i. Rough Design
The rough flexural design for the girder needs to verify MnMu. The area of steel needed is
, where j is 0.9, Mu is the ultimate moment, d is the distance from the extreme fiber in
compression to the centroid of the tensile reinforcement, and fy is the yield stress of the steel.
ii. Positive Moment (Bottom reinforcement)
The calculated demand value for As is 8.025 in2 for the positive moment. We will be using 6 #11 rebars
total in the double T section, which have a total steel cross-sectional area of 9.36 in2. Details of the
calculation can be found in Figure 32 in the Appendix.

iii. Negative Moment (Top reinforcement)


The calculated demand value for As is 10.108 in2 for the negative moment. We will be using 6 #11 and 4
#9 rebars total in the double T section, which have a total steel cross-sectional area of 13.36 in2. Details of
the calculation can be found in Figure 32 in the Appendix.

SE 151A
Design of Reinforced Concrete

iv Bar Spacing
The bar spacings must meet the requirement of ACI 318-11 in section 7.6. Based on this section, the
minimum clear spacing between parallel bars in a layer shall be the diameter of the rebars used, but not
less than 1 in. Thus for the design clear spacing, we use 1.5 for the #11 rebars and #9 rebars, and 0.5
for #4 rebars. Figure 33 below shows the spacing layout for the positive moment reinforcement, while
Figure 34 shows the spacing layout for the negative moment reinforcement. The calculations are shown in
Figure 35 in the Appendix.

v. Effective Section Properties
Based on section 8.12 in ACI 318-11 the width of slab effective as a T-beam flange should not exceed
of the span length of the beam, and the effective overhanging flange width on each side of the web should
be min(8* slab thickness, clear distance to the next web). The effective section properties of the
double-T girder are listed in Table 6 below; the meaning of the variables are shown in Figure 36. Details
of the calculation are shown in Figure 37 in the Appendix.

vi. Design Strength Mn- and Mn+
The flexural design strength of the girder is calculated using the fiber discretization method. It was done
by creating a matlab file and the script of the file is shown in the Appendix. Specifying the number of
compressive fibers to be 360, we found the design strength Mn+ to be 1709.3 kip-ft and Mn- to be 1506.4 kip-ft. On the other hand, the cracking moment for positive bending was calculated to be 387.956
kip-ft and the cracking moment for negative bending is 909.434 kip-ft. Details of the calculation can be
found in Figure 38 in the Appendix. The optimum design should satisfy the following two criteria:
for positive moment: MnMu_positive; Mn1.2*Mcr,
for negative moment: MnMu_negative; Mn1.2*Mcr,
Check: for positive moment: 1709.3 kip-ft > 1040 kip-ft ; 1383.4 >1.2*387.956
for negative moment: 1506.4 kip-ft > 1310 kip-ft; 1506.4 kip-ft > 1.2*909.434 kip-ft.
These values capacities were chosen slightly higher in order to account for any uncertainties
Therefore, we will be using 6 #11 rebars for positive bending, and 6 #11 and 2 #9 rebars for negative
bending with a total area of 18.13 in2.

6.b. Design of Shear Reinforcement


The design for shear can be divided into different types based on the relative values Vu,Vc,n*Vc. The
different types are listed below.
Type I.
When Vu Vc/2, no shear reinforcement is needed.
Type II.
When VcVu>Vc/2, minimum shear reinforcement is used to meet 11.4.6.1 of ACI 318-11:
; the stirrup set O.C. spacing is restricted by min (d/2,24 in) based on section
11.4.5.1 of ACI 318-11.

28

SE 151A
Design of Reinforced Concrete

Sycamore Canyon Pedestrian Bridge

Type III.
When 3*VcVu>Vc, it is recognized as moderate shear zone. According to 11.1 and 11.2 of ACI 31811: Vs=(Vu -Vc)/. The stirrup spacing can be found
.Similar to Type II, the spacing should
be less than d/2 and 24 in (11.4.5.1 of ACI 318-11).
Type IV.
When 3Vc<Vu5Vc, it is identified as the high shear zone, in which Vs=2Vc. ACI places tighter
restrictions on the spacing of the shear reinforcement based on section 11.4.5.3: s cannot be greater than
d/4 and 12 in.
Type V.
When Vu>5Vc, it is identified as likely shear failure zone caused by crushing the concrete carrying
shear, and this is not permitted by ACI. Therefore, the maximum permitted value for Vs is 4*Vc by ACI

The two spans are designed identically to have the capacity to support the most critical shear values.
The shear design plot is shown in Figure 42 below from the face of the rubber bearing support to the face

7. Development of Longitudinal Reinforcement and Miscellaneous Requirements
7.a Slab Reinforcement
The longitudinal bar development is designed off of the positive moment 5.81kip-in and a negative
moment of 61.09kip-in
i. Longitudinal Bar Development
The bars used were #4 bars spaced 6 inches on center for the top and bottom longitudinal reinforcement.
The longitudinal bar development for #4 bars is 19 in (rounded up from 18.97 in) The calculation may be
found in Figure 44 in the Appendix. This reinforcement size and spacing is kept constant throughout the
entire length of the bridge.
ii. Shrinkage and Temperature
The temperature and shrinkage reinforcement will be perpendicular to the flexural reinforcements. Based
on ACI 318-11 Section 7.12.2, Ast0.0018*hdeck*s, where Ast is the total cross-sectional area of steel, hdeck
is the height of the slab, and s is the spacing between the temperature and shrinkage reinforcements. #4
bars @ 12 O.C. were tried first and were then checked to ensure that the spacing was not more than five
times of the slab thickness nor greater than 18 inches.
Check: Ab=0.2in2>12*8*0.0018 (O.K)
12<5*8(O.K)
12<18(O.K)
A model of the deck reinforcement is shown in Figure 45, 46 and 47 below.

7.b Girder Reinforcement


The longitudinal bar development is designed off of the positive moment 1040 kip-ft and a negative
moment of 1310 kip-ft
i. Longitudinal Bar Development
The bars used were #9 and #11 for the top longitudinal reinforcement and #11 for the bottom longitudinal
reinforcement. The development length for #9 bars is 8ft (rounded up from 5.796ft) and the development
length for #11 bars is 8 ft (rounded up from 7.246ft). The development length of the #9 bars was rounded
up to match the development length of the #11 bars for easier constructability. The calculation may be
found in Figure 44 in the Appendix. This reinforcement varies throughout the length of the girder as
shown in the figures below. The length of the required flexural reinforcement was determined using ACI318 12.10.3 and 12.2.2. Details on the calculation can be found in the Appendix Figure 49.
For both the positive and negative flexural reinforcement, the cut off length was chosen from the
maximum from the left and right span of the bridge.
For the negative reinforcement, Bars B were chosen to be cut off. Bars B consist of 4#9 bars totaling
to an area of 4 in2. The B bars were determined to be 9 ft measured from the center of the bent cap. ACI

section 12.12.3 and 12.10.5 were used to determine these lengths. Details on the calculation can be found
in the Appendix Figure 50 and 52
For the negative reinforcement, the A bars were chosen to continue through the length of the bridge.
The A bars consist of 6#11 bars totaling to an area of 9.36 in2 The minimum length of Bars A are 19
ft measured from the center of the bent cap. Although the bars A are not required for flexural stability
of the bar, the reinforcement continues throughout the length for the bridge in order for the installment of
shear reinforcement. ACI section 12.12.3 and 12.10.5 were used to determine these lengths. Details on the
calculation can be found in the Appendix Figure 51 and 53.

For the positive reinforcement, Bars B were chosen to be cut off. Bars B consist of 2#11 bars totaling
to an area of 3.12 in2. The B bars were determined to be 10 ft measured from the center of maximum
moment which is located 18 ft measured from the simple support. ACI section 12.11.1 and 12.10.5 were
used to determine these lengths. Details on the calculation can be found in the Appendix Figure 56 and
57.
For the positive reinforcement, the A bars were chosen to continue through the length of the bridge.
The A bars consist of 4#11 bars totaling to an area of 6.24 in2. The reinforcement continues throughout
the length for the bridge in order for the installment of shear reinforcement. The ACI section 12.12.3 and
12.10.5 were used to determine these lengths. Details on the calculation can be found in the Appendix
Figure 55.
The positive reinforcement hook near the rubber bearing has a clear distance of 12.25 in which is larger
than .5db=7.05 in. Details on the location of the hook can be found in Figure 57 in Section 9: Drawings

a. Interaction Diagram
The interaction diagram shown in Figure 63 was formed using a Matlab code applying the concept of
fiber discretization to reinforced concrete columns. This code can be found in the Appendix. The diameter
of the column was previously defined to be 4 while the reinforcement was assumed to be composed of
12 bars. With the interaction diagram, the reinforcement ratio of the column was determined as well as
the required diameter of each bars, The value of Pn is capped at:
to prevent brittle failure due to concrete crushing.

c. Design for Shear


Based on ACI 318-11 Section 21.6.4, the plastic hinge region should be greater than the maximum of :
a. The depth of the member at the joint face or at the section where flexural yielding is likely to
occur (48 in)
b. One-sixth of the clear span of the member (44 in)
c. 18 in.
According to ACI 318-11 Section 21.6.4.3, the spacing of transverse reinforcement along the length l0 of
the member shall not exceed the the least of:
a. of the minimum member dimension (12 in)
b. 6 times the diameter of the smallest longitudinal bar (10.14 in)
c. Equation 21-2 with the provision that the spacing will not exceed 6 nor be less than 4
Therefore, the spacing is determined to be 4 inches for sections within plastic hinge region. Based on
7.10.5.1, the transverse size for longitudinal size #14 should be at least #4 rebar. The spacing of the hoops
within the remainder of the column will be taken as the minimum of the following criteria:
a. 16 times of the longitudinal rebar diameter (27.04 in)
b. 48 times of the hoop wire diameter (24 in)
c. Least Dimension of Column (48 in)

Thus, a transverse bar spacing 27 inches will be specified for the remainder of the column. However, for
the ease of construction and be conservative, the company uses a spacing of 14 inches. Table 8
summarizes the spacing of shear reinforcement of the column design. Figure 65 shows the detailing of the
transverse reinforcement.

Applying the interaction diagram shown in Figure 63, the required reinforcement ratio is found to be less
than 1%, and the results using 8 #14 rebars will be sufficient. However, given the inexperience of the
designers and the importance of the column for structural integrity, 10 #14 will be used for the
longitudinal reinforcement of the column. This provides a new reinforcement ratio of 1.24% which more
than exceed the require. Figure 64 details the column flexural reinforcement layout.

d. Longitudinal Bar Development


The longitudinal bar development is based on ACI 318-11 Section 12.3.2. Based on ACI,
deformed bars and deformed wire ldc should be the larger of

is defined as 1.0 based on 12.2.4 (d), db is 1.69 inches for #14. ldc is therefore determined as 33
inches. The company decides to have the longitudinal development length of the column to be 33
inches for the portions of both bent cap and pile for the ease of construction. Even though the
development length is longer than the depth of the bent cap, we can leave the longitudinal bars to
extend outside of the bent cap for connection purpose. Figure 66 shows the detailing for the bent
cap, while Figure 67 shows the detailing for the reinforcements in the pile.

9. Extra Credit: Pile Design
The pile of the bridge has a circular cross session with a diameter of 6, and the height of the pile is 90 ft.
The company idealizes the pile as P-y spring system with the bottom joint constrained by a pin. The
tributary areas are given as:

The empirical relationship for the springs is given by:

Figure 68 shows the spreadsheet used to generate the SAP model, while Figure 69 shows the generated
model of the pile using SAP 2000.

Applying the axial forces and moments in the top joint with the demand values from section 4, we can
obtain the demand loads and moments with SAP 2000. We have also included the self-weight of the
concrete pile in the applied axial loads. Table 9 shows the Pu, Mu combinations for the pile design. The
calculation of the self weight of the pile is shown in Figure 70 in the Appendix.

The company then calculate the required ratio using the normalized P-M diagram of the column section,
and normalize the demand load and moment of the pile with the section of pile:

be found in the Appendix.

Since the required ratio is less than 1%, the company decides to have 18 #14 rebars for the longitudinal
rebars design to have 1% steel ratio. Figure 72 shows the designed cross section of the pile.

Figure 72. Pile Cross section


For the ease of construction, the spacing of transverse reinforcement of the pile is determined to be the
same as the transverse reinforcement of the column in the plastic region, which is 4 inches. #5 rebars will
be used for the transverse reinforcement. Figure 73 shows the detailing of the reinforcement.
