LRFD Live Load Distribution Factors*

Live Load Distribution Factors are calculated according to AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, 4th Edition
(2007, with no interim revisions) as prescribed by TxDOT policies (LRFD Design Manual July 2008) and practices. The
Range of Applicability is ignored.

Thickness of Slab, ts = 5 in DMin = N/A J = A4 / (40 * Ip) = 81,581 in4
Possoins Ratio, = 0.20 K = sqrt((1+) * I/J) = 0.60

*For typical cross section g, j, and i (if the beams are connected only enough to prevent relative verticle displacement at the
interfaces). Table 4.6.2.2.1-1 (Slab Beams, Decked Slab Beams, and Double Tee Beams )

Results
The Final LLDF may be modified according to the following TxDOT
Final LLDF:
policies:
Interior LLDF, gInt = Use Table 4.6.2.2.2b-1, using cross section(g, i, and j), for shear and
0.429 moment LLDF on the all beams.
Exterior LLDF, gExt = 0.429 No skew correction factor are applied.
Decked Slab Beams and Double Tee Beams have a maximum LLDF
of S/10.
In no case shall the LLDF be less than mNLNb.

CALCULATIONS:

Equation (Table 4.6.2.2.2b-1) TxDOT uses Table 4.6.2.2.2b-1 for all

K= 0.60 LLDF.

C = K (W / L) K
C = 0.6 * (30 / 28.6) 0.6 = 0.60
D = 11.5 - NL + 1.4 NL (1 - 0.2 C)
D = 11.5 - 2 + 1.4 * 2 * (1 - 0.2 * 0.60)
D= 11.7 TxDOT does not apply a skew
correction factor.
S/D = 5 / 11.7 = 0.429
Checks
Check q: 0 45 OK
Check NL: 26 OK
Check Nb: 64 OK
Minimum LLDF
TxDOT Policy states g must be mNLNb
mNLNb = 1.00 * 2 / 6 = 0.333
