  1. Plot the concordant trajectory
    Do this by applying the values of C 3 appearing in Table 4; for example, ev = +21.87
    (0.0550)70.0700 = +17.19 in (436.626 mm). At midspan, em = +21.87(0.0625)70.0700 =
    +19.53 in (496.062 mm).
    Record the eccentricities on line 10 of the table. It is apparent that this concordant tra-
    jectory is satisfactory in the respect that it may be linearly transformed to one falling
    within the confines of the section; this is proved in step 14.

  2. Apply Eq. 56 to find fbp and ftp
    Record the results in Table 4. For example, at section 1, fbp = 1,160,000(10.32 +
    17.19)714,860 - +2148 lb/in^2 (+14,810.5 kPa);j^ - 1,160,000(22.32 - 17.19)732,140 = +
    185 lb/in
    2
    (+1275.6 kPa).

  3. Multiply the values of fbp and ftp by 0.85, and record
    the results
    These results appear in Table 4.

  4. Investigate the stresses at every boundary section
    In calculating the final stresses, apply the live-load stress that produces a more critical
    condition. Thus, at section \Jbi = -959 + 2148 = + 1189 lb/in^2 (+8198.2 kPa);/ft/ = -959



  • 691 + 1826 = + 176 lb/in^2 (+1213.6 kPa);/,, = + 444 + 185 = + 629 lb/in^2 (+4337.0
    kPa);/0-= + 444 + 319 + 157 = +920 lb/in^2 (+6343.4 kPa). At section 2:fbi = -1221 +
    2513 = + 1292 lb/in^2 (+8908.3 kPa);/fc/ = -1221 - 972 + 2136 = -57 lb/in^2 (-393.0 kPa);
    fa = + 565 + 16 = + 581 lb/in^2 (+4006.0 kPa);/^= +565 + 450 + 14 = + 1029 lb/in^2
    (+7095.0 kPa). At section 3:fbi = -785 + 1903 = + 1118 lb/in^2 (+7706.8 kPa);/^= -785 -
    844 + 1618 = - 11 lb/in^2 (-75.8 kPa);/ft- = + 363 + 298 = + 661 lb/in^2 (+4558.0 kPa);
