English to Chinese: Structure design General field: Tech/Engineering Detailed field: Construction / Civil Engineering
Source text - English Structures shall be designed to carry the following loads and forces: dead load, live load, impact or dynamic effect of the live load, wind loads and other possible forces like longitudinal forces, centrifugal force, thermal forces, earth pressure, buoyancy, shrinkage stresses, rib shortening, erection stresses, current pressure, and earthquake stresses.
Provision shall be made for the transfer of forces between the superstructure and substructure to reflect the effect of friction at expansion bearings or shear resistance at elastomeric bearings. Members shall be proportioned using the allowable stresses permitted by the design procedure and the limitations imposed by the material. When stress sheets are required, a diagram or notation of the assumed loads shall be shown and the stresses due to the various loads shall be shown separately. Where required by design conditions, the concrete placing sequence shall be indicated on the plans or in the special provisions. When a bridge is skewed, the loads and forces carried by the bridge through the deck system to pin connections and hangers should be resolved into vertical, lateral, and longitudinal force components to be considered in the design.
The dead load shall consist of the weight of the entire structure, including the roadway, sidewalks, car tracks, pipes, conduits, cables, and other public utility services. If a separate wearing surface is to be placed When the bridge is constructed, or is expected to be placed in the future, adequate allowance shall be made for its weight in the design dead load. Otherwise, provision for a future wearing surface is not required. Where the abrasion of concrete is not expected, the traffic may bear directly on the concrete slab. If considered desirable, 6.0 mm or more may be added to the slab for a wearing surface. The following, weights arc to be used in computing the dead load: steel or cast steel, cast iron, aluminum alloys, timber (treated or untreated), concrete (plain or reinforced), compacted sand, earth, gravel, or ballast, loose sand, earth, and gravel, rolled macadam or gravel, cinder filling, pavement (other than wood block), railway rails, guard rails, and fastenings (per linear meter of track), stone masonry, and asphalt plank.
