1.INTRODUCTION

In simply supported bridges one end of the girder is fixed end and other end is free end.
To fixed the girder plinth dowel bar is installed between capping beam and end
diaphragm. Typical detail of a plinth is shown in below

Total traction force is resisted by the dowels hence dowel bars should be design
to withstand for the tranction force and other longitudinal horizontal forces.
Combination 4 is more critical than other combinations because traction force is
more greater than other longitudinal laods.
