PROBLEM:
Design a through type single lane truss bridge for broad gauge main line
loading. The effective span length of the bridge is 50 m. Consider m = 1.15.
(1)TRUSS ARRANGEMENT [See Fig. E1]:
Effective Span of truss girder = 50 m.
Assume 10 panels @ 5 m interval.
Height and truss girder:
For economical considerations, height =

(b) Live loads and impact loads from IRS Bridge Rules - 1982:
Live loads and impact factors for each loaded length are found from IRS
Bridge Rules - 1982. For maximum forces in chord members, the whole of the
span should be loaded and Live load is determined corresponding to maximum
B.M. For other diagonal and vertical members, part of the span as indicated by
influence line diagrams, should be loaded and the live load is determined
corresponding to S.F. The impact factor is found corresponding to loaded
length.
