The deck is supported by nine longitudinal girders. Longitudinal girders are supported
on bearings at abutment and on cross girder at pier. Cross girder at pier is supported
by three bearings below inner longitudinal girders.. The articulation arrangement is as

Support reactions and the rotations of the girder at the support points are determined from
the LEAP 5 analysis for different loads and the maximum effects are summarised on in
the next sheet.

Al though Cl 7.2.3.3 of BS 5400 Part 4 limits the allowable bearing pressure to
0.4 fcu, increase in the bearing stress to 0.5 f cu at the bottom of the bearing is
allowed because of well defined bearing plinth with confining reinforcement is
provided.
