Abstract

The switch to Eurocodes from April 2010 requires the development and updating of many existing design tools. For many years Corus, and British Steel before them, have published preliminary design charts for steel–concrete composite highway bridges as part of their suite of design guidance for bridge engineers. These charts were originally developed using BS 5400 and the Highways Agency's design manual for roads and bridges. This paper describes the development of a new set of charts based on the structural Eurocodes. The new charts take advantage of benefits in efficiency permitted by the Eurocodes and also extend the scope of the original charts. The process adopted to generate the data for the charts is described and the key differences between the BS 5400 design approach and the Eurocode approach are discussed.
