1 Introduction
This report presents the detailed design and calculations involved for the simply supported
superstructure (63m span c/c bearings) of the Non-Ballasted Through Triangulated Truss
Bridge.

The details of the analysis for the superstructure (including loads, sections, results of
analysis) and design calculations are presented in this report. These analysis models cover
superstructure elements such as truss elements consisting of top chords, bottom chords,
diagonal members, vertical members, top & bottom cross beams, bottom stringers, top &
bottom lateral bracings, portal & sway bracing, braking bracings, stringer bracings etc.

The models considered in this report are described in Section 3. This report is to be read in
conjunction with the latest Design Basis Note.

2 General Arrangement
The superstructure is primarily a truss type. The two planes of the truss are placed 6.4m
apart so as to be able to provide a broad gauge railway line at the bottom level of the
superstructure. The height of the truss is 10m. The truss planes are connected together
through top & bottom cross girders, top & bottom lateral bracing, braking girder & portal and
sway bracings.

2.1 Arrangement of Truss

The cross sectional shapes and their dimensions of the truss members are as listed below:

• The top and bottom chords are hollow box sections. The top chord sections are 558
mm deep and 525 mm wide. Top flange of top chord has 75mm projection on each
side. First two Bottom chords are 554 mm deep and 525 mm wide with web plate
thickness 20 mm and the middle bottom chords are 558 mm deep and 525 mm wide
with web plate thickness as 45 mm.

• End Rakers are also hollow box sections, which are 567 mm deep and 525 mm wide.
Top flange has 75 mm projection on each side.

• The diagonals are I-sections of flange width 500, 450, 400 mm respectively for the
first three diagonals having 550 mm depth with web plate thickness of 12 mm.

• The verticals are I-sections of flange width 320mm and depth 550 mm with web plate
thickness of 10 mm and flange thickness of 16 mm.

• All the intermediate top cross girders are I-sections, 350 mm deep, having flange
width 200 mm whereas the End Top Cross girders are 400 mm deep, having flange
width 250 mm. All the bottom cross girders are also I-sections with 440 mm width and
1393 mm depth.

• Railway stringers are I-sections of depth 1018 mm and width 500mm.

• Top lateral bracings are having star angle configuration with ISA angle sections of
200 x 200 x12, bottom lateral bracings are also star angles with ISA angle sections
200 x 200 x 12, 150 x 150x 12, 130 x 130 x 12, 110 x 110 x 12 respectively from
either end. Bottom lateral bracings are connected with the stringers at two points.

• Portal bracings are 2 ISA angle sections of 100 x 100 x 10 placed back to back,
whereas Sway bracings are 2 ISA angle sections of 75 x 75 x 8 placed back to back.

2.2 Arrangement of Railway Floor

The rail tracks are laid on steel channel sleepers (as per RDSO Standards) which are
supported on stringers. Stringers are placed at a spacing of 1.9 m. The stringers are
connected to the bottom cross girders.

Based on the truss panel sizes, the centre to centre distance between bottom cross girders is
kept 7.875 m. The ends of the cross girders are connected with the vertical members and
diagonal members of the truss.

The stringers are designed for carrying the train load and transverse forces due to wind on
train, seismic forces, raking forces, overturning effect and fatigue stresses. Stringers transfer
these loads to the bottom chord joints through bottom cross girders.

3 Overall Design Assessment

As envisaged in Design Basis Notes the models described herein this report are analysed for
various load cases. Based on the analysis of the Model, sections have been chosen and
validated as per various clauses of Design Basis Note and the relevant codes mentioned
therein.

3.1 Structural Model

Three dimensional beam model of the superstructure (shown in Figure 1) is created using
STAAD Pro software to analyze the effects of the various loads.

The basic features of the model are:

1. Linear elastic elements.

2. All elements are beam elements, except bracings, which are truss elements.
3. Bottom chords, stringers, cross girders, bottom lateral bracings are modelled at the
same level (bottom chord centre) and then offsets are provided accordingly.
4. The joints in the plane of truss are idealised as moment resisting joints.
5. The railway stringers are connected with the bottom cross girders by shear
connections.
6. The bottom cross girders are connected with the bottom chords joints by shear
connections.
7. The top cross girders are connected with the top chords joints by shear connections.

The allowable stress for different values of l/r is listed in Table IV of IRS Steel Bridge Code.

For members in bending compression the permissible stresses are modified as per Clause
3.9.1 of IRS Steel Bridge code.

5 Load Application and Assessment of Critical Load Position

5.1 Permanent Loads

5.1.1 Dead Load

The permanent loads are due to the self-weight of the truss and rail fixtures and sideways,
while the live loads are due to railway. The assumptions for analysis and design are in
conjunction with the Design Basis Note.

The unit weight of steel used for the estimation of dead load is 78.5 kN/m3. The dead load of
the truss is applied using the self weight command. The sideways dead load is applied at the
bottom of verticals as join loads. The weight of truss members is increased by 25% to
account for the stiffeners, diaphragms, gussets, rivets etc.

5.1.2 Superimposed dead load

The load due to rail fixtures consists of weight of rails, guard rails and sleepers. The load
calculations are shown below-

Weight of rail + ch. rail = (60+68)*2 kg/m

Weight of sleepers = 260 kg /sleeper (Channel Sleeper)

Sleeper density = 1660 per km

The weight of rails and sleepers is applied on the stringer beams as uniformly distributed
load.

Load acting on one stringer = [(60+68)*2*9.8/1000+260*(1660/1000)*9.8/1000]/2

= 3.37 kN/m

5.2 Variable Loads

5.2.1 Railway Live Load & Braking/ Traction forces

The Modified Broad Gauge for Dedicated Freight Corridor load (for 32.5 t loading revised
standards) is taken from the Design Basis Note. This load is applied on the structure with
corresponding Coefficient of Dynamic Augment (CDA).
The sideway live load is calculated with dynamic impact consideration and applied as nodal
loads at bottom end of verticals. This live load was calculated as follows-

Effective Live load including dynamic

Span effect
Span< 7.5m 4.07 kN/m2

7.5<span<30 Linearly varying from 4.07

m kN/m2 to 2.89 kN/m2
Span>30 m {13.3+400/L} {(17-w)/142.8}
kN/m2
L = eff. Span of bridge in meter
W = width of foot-way in meter

The effects of braking and traction are also considered. The Equivalent Uniformly Distributed
Load (EUDL) for bending, CDA, and the braking loads are also taken from ‘Design Basis
Note Live Loads for Dedicated Freight Corridor’. The horizontal braking load is applied on the
stringers.

The horizontal braking force on the bridge is considered as per ‘Design Basis Note
Longitudinal Loads for Dedicated Freight Corridor’.

5.2.2 Racking force

As per Clause 2.9.1 of IRS Bridge Rules, the lateral load due to racking force need not be
taken into account when calculating stresses in the chords or flanges of main members.
Hence a lateral load of 6.86 kN/m on each stringer is considered for the design of stringers.

5.2.3 Fatigue Loading

Fatigue analysis is carried out as per EURO codes (Eurocode-3: Design of steel structures –
Part 1-9: Fatigue – prEN 1993-1-9). First of all, all the 7 type of trains as listed in design
basis note are considered. Their total no. of cycles in the design life (120 Years) has been
calculated, which is calculated as follows-

Train Type No. of trains per day No. of trains in the entire
design life (120 years)

Type-1 (Double headed 6 =(365x120+120/4)x6

diesel loco + 75 Gondola) =262980

Type-7 (Double Headed 22.5 2 87660

T loco + 55 Gondola)-empty

Total 33 1446390

As the total no. of run of trains is equal to the total no. of cycles for the main members of
truss, damage factor for main members is calculated for 1446390 cycles, whereas stringers
and bottom cross girders are subjected to significantly higher no. of cycles than this, so for
them, corresponding to each run of train, stress cycles are plotted and by reservoir method
cycles are counted in order to calculate the damage factor.

Fatigue parameters:

1. Partial factor for fatigue strength- γMf = 1.15 (by Table 3.1)

2. Partial factor for equivalent constant amplitude stress ranges- γFf = 1 (by Table 3.1)

3. Reference value of fatigue strength at NC = 2 million cycles-

∆σC = 100 (Table 8.2)

∆τC = 100 (Table 8.2)

4. Fatigue limit for constant amplitude stress ranges at the no. of cycles ND –

Hence, ∆σD = 73.68, ∆τL = 45.73

Damage Factor calculation:

1. For Stringer & Bottom cross girder-

Damage factor is calculated for bending as well as shear.

For every run of each train, stress cycle has been plotted and then corresponding to
various stress ranges obtained, no. of cycles in design life (n) has been calculated by
Reservoir method.

n
DamageFactor = ∑
NR
NR is the endurance in cycles w. r. t. that stress range. And this damage factor is sum
of such damage factors calculated for all the run of all type of trains in entire design
life.

NR is calculated as follows-

1. For Bending-

If n < = 5 x 106 (for any bending stress range ∆σR, from stress cycle plot)-

 ∆ σ C × γ Ff 
N = 2 × 10 6

The net damage factor for fatigue, hence calculated both for bending and shear must be
lesser than 1

2. For main members of truss and bracings-

Here total n = 1446390

Where- γMf = 1.15, γFf = 1 and ∆σC = 100

To calculate ∆σR-

Among all the live load cases, various possible combinations of stresses were
formulated by “F/A ± My/Zy ± Mz/Zz” for maximum and minimum live load cases and
then by their maximum absolute difference ∆σR was obtained.

Then,

n
DamageFactor =
NR
The damage factor hence calculated must be lesser than 1

5.3 Incidental Loads

Incidental loads include the loads due to wind and earthquake.

5.3.1 Wind Load

Wind load is estimated according to IS 875: Part 3 and applied as per Clause 2.11 of Bridge
Rules. As per Clause 2.11.2 of Bridge Rules, if the wind pressure exceeds 1.47 kN/m2 the
bridge shall not be considered to carry any live loads. The details of the estimation of wind
load as per IS: 875 are shown below:

Basic wind speed = 47 m/s (Refer Clause 5.2 & Fig1of IS 875 Part 3)

Design wind speed, Vz = Vb k1 k2 k3 (Refer Clause 5.3)

Design life = 120 yrs

Risk coefficient, k1 factor = 1.10 (Clause 5.3.1 and Table 1)

Terrain category =1 (Clause 5.3.2)

Class of structure =C

Height of structure = 15 m

Terrain, height and structure size factor, k2 = 1.03 (Table 2)

Topography factor, k3 = 1.0 (Assuming plain topography, Cl 5.3.3)

Load Application and Assessment of Critical Load Position

Page 10
Designing and Developing Detailed Drawings for Superstructure of standard RDSO spans C1093502
Detailed Design Notes for 61m span (Welded Through Type) Truss Girder DN002 Rev. A

Design wind speed Vz = 47 × 1.10 × 1.03 × 1.0 = 53.04 m/s

Design Wind pressure pz = 0.6 Vz2 (Refer Cl. 5.4)

Design wind pressure, pz = 0.6 Vz2= 0.6×53.04x53.04= 1687.99 N/m2= 1.688 kN/m2

This loading is greater than 1.47 kN/m2, hence live load need not be considered along with a
wind load of 1.688 kN/m2 as per IRS Bridge Rules.

A load of 1.47 kN/m2 is considered along with the live load. Wind load for the truss is applied
on the members as uniformly distributed load. Wind load on the train is applied to the
stringers as uniformly distributed load with a moment (transferred). As per Clause 2.11.3 of
IRS Bridge Rules, top level of rails to bogey bottom clearance was considered to be 600 mm.

A load of 1.688 kN/m2 is considered for checking the stability of truss without considering the
live load.

5.3.2 Seismic Load

The seismic loading is applied in accordance with IRS Bridge Rules. As per design basis
note, Seismic Zone IV has been considered. Both the horizontal and vertical seismic loads
have been considered for design. The design horizontal seismic coefficient is calculated as
follows-

αh = βIαo (As per cl.2.12.4.2 of IRS Bridge Rules)

Where-
• β is a coefficient which depends on soil-foundation system- as per cl. 2.12.4.3 its value
has been taken as 1.5
• I is a coefficient which depends on importance of structure, hence as per cl. 2.12.4.4 its
value has been taken as 1.5
• αo is basic horizontal seismic coefficient, whose value as per cl. 2.12.3.3 has been taken
as 0.05 considering zone IV.
Then αh = 1.5 x 1.5 x 0.05 = 0.1125,
Hence for design, Design horizontal seismic coefficient has been adopted as 0.12
Further as per cl. 2.12.4.5, design vertical seismic coefficient has been adopted as 50 % of
αh - = 0.5 x 0.12 = 0.06
As per cl. 2.12.6, live load is ignored in the traffic direction, but in the direction perpendicular
to traffic, it is taken as 50 % of design live load without impact consideration.

5.3.3 Temperature Loads

The effect of variation in temperature is considered as per Cl. 2.6 of IRS Bridge Rules. The
coefficient of expansion for steel shall be taken as 11.7 × 10-6 per 10C. A temperature
variation of +/-35 degree is considered for the design.

5.3.4 Bearing Friction

Coefficient of bearing friction is taken as per design basis note section 3.6-

Type of Bearing Coefficient of Friction

Roller Bearing 0.03

Sliding bearing of steel on cast iron or steel bearing 0.25

Sliding bearing of steel on ferro-bestos 0.20

Sliding bearing of steel on hard copper alloy bearing 0.15

Sliding bearing of elastomeric/PTFE type 0.10

7 Check for Global stability

(A) Stability against Wind loads:
The Transverse wind load is applied on the structure to verify that the overturning moment is
lesser than the restoring moment.
Loaded Structure:

Total Wind Load = 1557.98 KN

Overturning Moment = 8779.32 KNm

Restoring Moment = 12212.54 KNm + 33422 KNm

= 45634.35 KNm
Factor of Safety against
= 5.2
