Abstract:
The paper presents the analysis of statically indeterminate orthotropic bridge decks due to rectangular patch loads. Decks are classified into three main categories depending on relative rigidities in flexure and torsion.

Design live loads for major bridges in eighteen countries are compared by studying their effects on simple spans of 30 to 140 ft. (9 to 42 meters nominal). A very wide diversity in the design load effects such as maximum bending moments and shear forces is noted--the heaviest effect being about two and one-half times that of the lightest. This wide diversity cannot be easilty justified by the normal volumes of traffic loads in these countries. It is hoped a more uniform design load, if specified, will result in economy in some countries and perhaps greater safety in others.

This paper presents an important aspect of the structural design of concrete bridges under various combinations of loading. 'Load Factors', which are quantities used to define the pattern and magnitude of design loadings, are evaluated from a statisitcal point of view in such a manner as to assure a desired level of safety for the structure.

A successful computer program for the solution of plate problems - such as one based on the finite element idealization - can provide a basis for the design of slab bridge decks. Much additional work must be done before a fully streamlined program suitable for design work is practicable. . .The paper deals with the three aspects of the problem.
