Chapter 11Diaphragms and Cross Frames
Bridge Engineering 2
Introduction –Functions of diaphragms and cross frames
Used to resist lateral wind loads by transferring them from the superstructure up into the deckLarge stiffness of the deck in horizontal plane will carry the loads to the supportsAt the supports, the diaphragms or cross frames transfer the loads down from the deck to bearings
Bridge Engineering 3
Introduction –Functions of diaphragms and cross frames
They also improve vertical loads distribution to longitudinal membersIf closely spaced and placed at supports, they transfer live loads more uniformlyThey create lateral stability during construction.

Steel Box Girder Bridge
Recommendations for design1) Distortion during construction
Place ties at top flanges every 1/8 length of the span (overcome distortion from concentric construction loads)Place transverse web stiffeners that increase transverse web stiffness at least 50 times (overcome distortion due to construction twist loads)
Bridge Engineering 56
Steel Box Girder Bridge
Horizontal bracing shall be placed belowthe level of top flangesInter-connecting bracings shall be mounted between boxes. These bracing systems shall be placed at the same sections as the interior distortional bracings

2) Overall Stability during construction
If , where is the mid-span
bending moment and is the cracking moment
Use linear analysis with St. Venant and warping stiffness to compute girder rotations
For higher loads,Calculate real rotations and warping stiffnessconsidering non-linear effects

CHBDC Specifications
End floor beams and end diaphragms under expansion joints that are exposed to surface runoff should be easily maintainableFloor beams and diaphragms at piers and abutments to be designed to allow jacking of the superstructure, unless longitudinal members can be jacked directly.

CHBDC- Beams, Girders and Composite Beams
Spacing of intermediate diaphragms or cross-frames:
Lateral torsional buckling resistance of girdersNeed for transfer of lateral wind loadNeed for torsional resistance due to torsionloadDesign for lateral load + 1% of compressionflange force, if girder not solely for lateral loadsIf considered in analysis, design for their shareof load
Bridge Engineering 63
CHBDC- Beams, Girders and Composite Beams
The bracing should be stable under the compression force that it receives from the compression flangeSteel or concrete slab, if attached sufficiently to compression flange will sufficePlace perpendicular to main girder, when supportsare skewed more than and design to the forcethey attractUnless otherwise justified by analysis, girder spansin excess of 50 m shall be provided with lateralbracing at or close to bottom flanges
