Design loads for in service bridge shoring

Design loads for in service bridge shoring

Design loads for in service bridge shoring

(OP)
I am involved in timber bridge repair project that started out as a deck overlay replacement and is turning into a major rebuild of portions of the superstructure.  Significant decay has been found in some of the timber beams requiring them to be replaced.  I am recommending temporary shoring of the structure as the owners insist that the bridge cannot be closed, but that at least one of the two lanes remain open to traffic.  I cannot find prescribed design loads for this temporary shoring in ASCE 7-05.  Does anyone know where to find shoring design loads?

Thanks
Jethro

RE: Design loads for in service bridge shoring

You should be using AASHTO, since its a bridge.

You have to calculate the loads in the shoring based upon your shoring configuration.

You shoud have a copy of the AASHTO specifications for temporary works.
