Transverse Beam Strength Analysis

This document summarizes the calculation of deck strength when longitudinal girders are 3100mm apart and no supports are in between, and then again with two additional supports placed in between girders. For both scenarios, transverse beam, plate, and longitudinal stiffener checks were performed. With no intermediate supports, the maximum deck strength was found to be 3.202 tonnes/sqm. With two additional supports, the maximum deck strength increased to 9.121 tonnes/sqm based on the plate deflection check being the limiting factor.

  • Deck Strength Calculation Without Supports: Analyzes deck strength calculation when no supports are present between longitudinal girders, including section modulus and bending moment.
  • Plate Check Without Supports: Details the plate check calculations, including maximum load, deflection, and the effectiveness of the cross-section without supports.
  • Deck Strength Calculation With Supports: Examines deck strengthening when two additional supports are inserted between the longitudinal girders, focusing on section modulus and bending moment.
  • Plate Check With Supports: Provides a thorough plate check including calculations for maximum load and deflection with additional supports.
