34 Designing For Longitudinal Force by Richard D. Payne President ESCA Consultants, Inc. Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
35 Designing for Longitudinal Force WHAT DOES AREMA CHAPTER 8 SAY? Longitudinal Braking Force (kips) = L, where L is the length in feet of the portion of the bridge under consideration (Note this is Emergency Braking. The force associated with normal braking operations is much less). Longitudinal Traction Force (kips) = 25 L These are the E80 Loads. For design loads other than E80, these forces shall be scaled proportionally. The effective longitudinal force shall be distributed to the various components of the supporting structure, taking into account their relative stiffness. The passive resistance of the backfill behind the abutments shall be used where applicable. The mechanisms (rail, bearings, load transfer devices, etc.) available to transfer the force to the various components shall also be considered. Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
36 Designing for Longitudinal Force The effective longitudinal force shall be distributed to the various components of the supporting structure, taking into account their relative stiffness. All other parameters being equal (soil conditions, pile type, superstructure stiffness, etc ) which substructure unit is stiffer? Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
37 Designing for Longitudinal Force The resistance of the backfill behind the abutments shall be used where applicable Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
38 Designing for Longitudinal Force How much movement of the wall into the soil is required to mobilize the passive state? Dense Cohesionless Soil.005H Loose Cohesionless Soil.01H Stiff Cohesive Soil.02H Soft Cohesive.04H For most pile bent railroad bridges, cohesionless soil will be present behind the abutments. It may not be dense immediately after installation of a new abutment and wings, since this is often done in a hurry in between trains. How fast does the first train cross the bridge, just after completion of a construction task? At what speeds are the maximum longitudinal traction forces likely to be developed? If the required movement into the soil is greater than the anticipated longitudinal deflection of the bridge, then the at-rest pressure should be used, since the passive state will not be mobilized. Do not rely upon railroad surcharge behind abutment to resist LF. The abutment can be called upon to resist LF when there is no railroad load behind the abutment. Before assuming wings are effective with either at-rest or passive pressure, be sure to check the load path, and be assured that the wings are stiff enough and that the connection between the wings and the cap/piling is sufficient to transfer the load. Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
39 Designing for Longitudinal Force The mechanisms (rail, bearings, load transfer devices, etc.) available to transfer the force to the various components shall also be considered. Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
40 Designing for Longitudinal Force For most ballasted deck steel pile trestles, friction transferring load. is the primary factor in NEW AREMA 2006 Provisions The longitudinal deflection of the superstructure due to longitudinal force shall not exceed 1 inch (25mm) for E-80 (EM360) loading. For design loads other than E-80 (EM 360), the maximum allowable longitudinal deflection shall be scaled proportionally. In no case, however, shall the longitudinal deflection exceed 1-1/2 inches (38 mm). Since the force is distributed based upon relative stiffness, deflections must be computed anyway. Committee 8 cleared the 1 inch limitation with Committee 1 (Roadway and Ballast) and 5 (Track). Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
41 Designing for Longitudinal Force OTHER CONSIDERATIONS When is the bridge first called upon to resist longitudinal force? Figure shows distribution of LF on embankment, where embankment is uniform. Bridge can be called upon to resist longitudinal force before the train arrives on the bridge. Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
42 Designing for Longitudinal Force OTHER CONSIDERATIONS (Cont.) What else resists longitudinal force, besides at-rest (or passive) pressure at the downhill abutment? Flexure in piles. Batter in piles. What about the uphill abutment? The uphill abutment can be used to resist LF. However it is often reserved solely to resist the railroad surcharge force, which is acting in the same direction as the LF. Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
43 Designing for Longitudinal Force OTHER CONSIDERATIONS (Cont.) Methods for Analysis of Piles in Flexure There are many methods available. The Illinois Department of Transportation, in their Bridge Manual, recommends any one of the methods described in the following publications: Author Paper Broms ASCE Journal, Vol. 91, No. SM3 Davisson Highway Research Record No. 333 Reese and Matlock Special Publication No. 29, Bureau of Engineering Research, University of Texas Austin Davisson and Robinson 6 th International Conference on Soil Mechanics Vol. 2 One or more of these methods are also recommended and described in the following publications: US Steel Highway Structures Design Handbook Structural Engineers Handbook, Gaylord & Gaylord Pile Foundation Know How, American Wood Preservers Drilled Pier Foundations, Woodward, Gardner, & Greer Pile Design & Construction Practice, M.J. Tomlinson US Navy Facilities, DM-7 ( ) Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY

45 Designing for Longitudinal Force Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
46 Designing for Longitudinal Force Replacing an existing ballast deck timber trestle. Existing bents are on 13 centers. New structure depth limited due to hydraulics (High Water near bottom of structure). Track raise is not desirable. Offset alignment undesirable due to ROW, Environmental, and/or Geometric concerns (i.e. park land adjacent to the job, or extensive trackwork required to offset alignment due to adjacent yard facility, etc.) New structure will be built with track mounted equipment on existing alignment. 26 PPC spans chosen, to fit in between existing 13 timber spans. 39 spans would have excessive structure depth. Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
47 Designing for Longitudinal Force DESIGN CRITERIA Group III Loading D+L+I+CF+E+B+SF+0.5W+WL+LF+F For this example, CF, B, SF, and F are assumed to be negligible The effect of E (without surcharge) is taken into account by the software when computing the resistance at the downhill abutment. The uphill abutment is not counted on for resistance to LF. The design of the abutment for E is outside of the scope of this presentation. Therefore we are looking at D+L+I+0.5W+WL+LF at 125% of allowable stress. Piles are HP 14x89. Fy = 36.0 ksi. Maximum stress due to axial load not to exceed 12,600 psi ( ). Piles will be analyzed as beam-columns. The maximum stress in the piles due to combined bending and axial load will be per Chapter 15 for a steel beam-column. Impact to be included only in evaluating the pile as a structural member (4.2.2). LF= k (Emergency Braking); k (Traction). Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
48 Designing for Longitudinal Force DESIGN CRITERIA (Cont.) Piles are assumed to be laterally supported below the ground line by the earth. The top 5 feet of earth is ignored, to account for the possibility of scour. Maximum allowable longitudinal deflection of the bridge due to E80 loading is assumed to be 1.

49 Designing for Longitudinal Force Load - Deflection Chart Longitudinal Load (kips) ' Bent 20' Bent 35' Bent 'Downhill' Abutment Longitudinal Deflection (inches) Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
50 Designing for Longitudinal Force Load - Deflection Chart Longitudinal Load (kips) ' Bent 20' Bent 35' Bent 'Downhill' Abutment Longitudinal Deflection (inches) Determine load required to move the trial bridge 1 It takes 150 kips to move the downhill abutment 1 The two 10 high bents take 20 kips each before they move 1 The four 20 high bents take about 5 kips each to move 1 The two 35 bents provide negligible resistance The bridge as a unit moves 1 with an applied load of 210 k << 385 k design The bridge is not stiff enough. What do we do? Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY

53 Designing for Longitudinal Force Longitudinal Load (kips) Load - Deflection Chart 20' Pier 1/2:12 20' Pier 1:12 20' Pier 2: Longitudinal Deflection (inches) Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
54 Designing for Longitudinal Force Adding piers with battered piles helps. We added two 8-pile piers (20 tall). Now our resistance for 1 bridge deflection is: Downhill Abutment 150 kips Two 10 Bents 40 Two 20 Bents 10 Two 20 Piers 150 Total 350 kips Deflection for this configuration is 1.1 If 1 is an absolute limit, then an additional pier can be added, or the two piers can be braced longitudinally to the ground line. Tuesday September 19, 2006 Louisville, KY
55 Designing for Longitudinal Force WHAT IS COMMITTEE 8 DOING NEXT? We are thinking about the issue of probability as it relates to emergency braking. We believe that many bridges may be more likely to experience erience EQ loading than Emergency Braking. Yet, we currently allow a much greater overstress in the bridge foundations for EQ than we do for LF. We may remove the longitudinal deflection limitation for Emergency Braking.
