design of cross griders for bridges

(OP)
While designing the bridges ( girder + slab),the Courbon method is used for the transverse distribution of vertical loads. How to design the cross girders for the lateral distribution of vertical loads.I want to know the concept and good reference material available in the internet.

Please help me

RE: design of cross griders for bridges

You will find information on such steel bridege items in

Is your structure suitably braced? SSRC 1993

AASHTO Bridge Manuals

Structural Engineering Handbook, Gaylord & Gaylord, McGraw Hill

Structrual Steel Designer's Handbook, Brockenbrough et al., Mc Graw Hill

Design of Modern Highway Bridges, Taly, McGraw Hill

The WSDOT (Oregon) Bridge Manual is online in pdf format and may have information on that as well (haven't checked).

OF course, for known joint boundary conditions a 3D FEM analysis will be revealing.

RE: design of cross griders for bridges

Er, WSDOT for Washington State, not Oregon.
