Bridge Engineering Review Notes

This document provides design details for the bridge deck and edge beam of a bridge. It specifies load calculations and reinforcement design using the Working Stress Design (WSD) and Ultimate Strength Design (USD) methods. For the bridge deck, it calculates the minimum thickness, dead loads from slab and wearing surface weights, live loads from truck and lane loads, and impact loads. It then designs the main reinforcement, checks fatigue stress limits, and designs temperature and shrinkage reinforcement. Similar calculations and design steps are outlined for the edge beam using USD.
