concrete slab/beams with HS20-44 truck loads
concrete slab/beams with HS20-44 truck loads
(OP)
I have not done this before but I have a condition that I ned to design a concrete slab (multiple spans)that spans between concrete beams spaced at 8.75'the length of the concrete beam is 59 feet. The beam frames into retaining walls One span condition) and continous over two supports.
Is there a software that someone can refer me to? Or are there any design aids/example that can be of help?
Thank you for your assistance in advance.

It's a simple design.

The slabs are spanning between concrete beams that have a span of 59' spaced at 8'-9" do you have any suggestion for beam design with HS20-44. I am using the CALTRANS simple beam span and moment capacity (the beam is connected to retaining walls so really it is not simple) but the moment will be based on wl**2/8 instead of wl**2/12.
Another colleague suggested to get DRbeam pro software. have you heard of that?
Looking forward to your suggestions.

Can you get me the exact name of the AASHTO standard specification? Is the title Standard Specifications for Highway Bridges 17th edition-2002? Do they have design examples?
Thanks again.
