Minimum Number of Connectors for Bridges Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

No of Connector in Bridge = (Slab Force+Force in Slab at Negative Moment Point)/(Reduction Factor*Ultimate Shear Connector Stress)
N = (P_{on slab}+P₃)/(Φ*S_ultimate)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

No of Connector in Bridge - No of Connector in Bridge is total number of joints.
Slab Force - (Measured in Newton) - Slab Force at maximum positive moments.
Force in Slab at Negative Moment Point - (Measured in Newton) - Force in Slab at negative moment point is the force where maximum negative occurs.
Reduction Factor - Reduction Factor is constant term used as factor for load calculation.
Ultimate Shear Connector Stress - (Measured in Newton) - Ultimate Shear Connector Stress is the maximum strength in shear.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Slab Force: 245 Kilonewton --> 245000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Force in Slab at Negative Moment Point: 10 Kilonewton --> 10000 Newton (Check conversion here)
Reduction Factor: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required
Ultimate Shear Connector Stress: 20 Kilonewton --> 20000 Newton (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

N = (P_{on slab}+P₃)/(Φ*S_ultimate) --> (245000+10000)/(0.85*20000)

Evaluating ... ...

N = 15

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

15 <-- No of Connector in Bridge

(Calculation completed in 00.020 seconds)
