1 Live Load Design of Concrete Pipe

2 Outline Critical Items Comparison of AASHTO Methods Testing and Research Latest Information

3 Live Load Distribution Factor A Critical Item AASHTO Standard Spec 1.75 AASHTO LRFD Initially 1.15 or 1.0 AASHTO LRFD Currently 1.15 up to 24 inch ID 1.75 for 96 inch ID and above Linear Interpolation in between these sizes

4 Distribution Through the Pipe A Critical Item Industry x OD AASHTO Previously No Comment Currently 0.06 x ID

5 Current Designs Based On: NCHRP Report 647, Recommended Design Specifications for Live Load Distribution to Buried Structures The results of the comparison of predictions from computer models with data from actual field test was often poor; extenuating circumstances are discussed in Section

27 Crack Spacing Parameter

28 Moment at the Location Being Checked for Shear

29 Crack Spacing Parameter Add: s xe = the incorporation of the effect of maximum aggregate size into the crack spacing parameter. The requirement that s xe equal or exceed 12 inches need not apply to slabs.

31 Limit s xe to 12 inches? 31

32 Moment at the Location Being Checked for Shear Add: In continuous slabs not containing prestressing, the value of M u for the location being analyzed may be utilized without consideration of the M u min = V u V p d v limitation.

33 Why the V u x d v requirement? Tension Face Compression Face If M v = 0, and N v = 0 Tension in the Entire Element

34 β versus Span 34

35 β versus ρ (depth limit removed) 35

36 β versus ρ (no limit) 36

37 Behavior and Strength in Shear of Beams and Frames Without Web Reinforcement Roger Diaz De Cossio and Chester P. Seiss A study of the test results in Table 3 and 4 reveals also that shear capacity is roughly a linear function of tensile steel percentage. 37

41 Minimum M u Required? 41

42 Why the Minimum M u? 42

43 What Has Been Implied? The minimum value of s x should be removed, or at least reduced to 5 inches. Relative Agreement The requirement that M u be not less than V u *d v should be removed, at least for frames/continuous members Additional discussion required 43
