BIM Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Technical Standards Branch Class B Bridge Inspection Course Bridge Structural Considerations BASIC STRUCTURAL CONSIDERATIONS
BIM Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Technical Standards Branch Class B Bridge Inspection Course Bridge Structural Considerations Introduction Bridge members must be able to carry loads applied to them. This presentation considers: –How loads are applied to members –How bridge members are stressed by loads –How bridge materials resist stress

BIM Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Technical Standards Branch Class B Bridge Inspection Course Bridge Structural Considerations Strain It is described as the amount of deformation. It denotes the ratio of material’s deformed dimension to its original dimension. L ΔLΔL Strain = ΔL/L
BIM Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Technical Standards Branch Class B Bridge Inspection Course Bridge Structural Considerations Deformation & Modulus of Elasticity Elastic Deformation - It is reversible distortion of a material. Plastic Deformation – It is the irreversible distortion of a material. Modulus of Elasticity (E) = Stress/Strain

BIM Bridge Inspection and Maintenance Technical Standards Branch Class B Bridge Inspection Course Bridge Structural Considerations Buckling of Steel Members Steel members are normally made up of slender components. Slender compression members are susceptible to buckling. Mis-aligned member in compression lowers the load at which it buckles.
