PROJEK: WALKWAY BRIDGE DESIGN

SUMMARY
It is proposed to construct a walkway bridge between two existing buildings as shown on
the attached drawing. The bridge can be designed as either,
(i)
(ii)
(iii)

Reinforced concrete slab, beam and column or

Reinforced concrete slab with the beams and columns made of structural steel
S275. or
Reinforced concrete for slab and column and the beam is made from steel.

Discuss between group members whether to design the bridge as simply supported or
continuous construction and the reasons behind the selection.
The distance between the buildings is 12 metres and it is essential that access is
maintained with a clear headroom of 3.5 m and two corridors of width 6.0 m and 4.5 m
respectively.
The new structure is to be considered as a completely separate structure from the two
existing buildings and it may be assumed that all necessary access at the required level of
entry into the buildings is possible. Similarly it may be assumed that footings for the new
structure can be constructed at whatever level and within the confines of the perimeter of
the existing buildings as are necessary.
It is your group task, to prepare the necessary calculations and drawings to enable Tender
Documents to be prepared.

REQUIREMENTS
You are required to prepared the following:
(a) A Structural General Arrangement Drawing using AUTOCAD showing Plan,
Elevation and Sections of your proposed scheme with all necessary dimensions
of beams, columns and slabs etc. clearly indicated.
(b) Design calculations for the Walkway Slab, supporting beams, and one typical
column and one typical pad footing.
(c) Detail Drawings for the above members.
DESIGN INFORMATION

5.

The Reinforced Concrete is to be design according to EC2. If steel is used, the

design should comply BS5950.
Loadings to be taken from BS 6399:Part 1:1984 (Crowd Loading) given
with this instructions.
Walkway will be surfaced with 20 mm of waterproofing using aspalt.
Allowable bearing pressure at 1m below ground level is 250 kN/m2.
The type of exposure is XC3/4.

Initial member sizing calculations need not be submitted but may be asked for
from certain individuals to confirm parts of their work.
There are obviously many possible answer to this project as all important
structural member sizes have been left to you to design. Group individuality
will gain marks.
Choice of materials (i.e. Grade of Concrete or type of steel reinforcement will
be left to your judgement, but must be relevant to EC2 or
BS5950).Calculations should include all engineering decisions make together
with any explanation necessary to make them clear.

SUBMISSION

3.

All calculations are to be written on standard calculation sheets as shown

below and bound with cardboard covers to A4 size.
All drawings are to be done in Autocad and submitted with the calculations.
If design software is used, submit the results together with the report.
