About This Item

Full Description

Preface:
This is the twelfth edition of CSA S6, Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code. It supersedes the previous editions published in 2014, 2006 (including three supplements published in 2010, 2011, and 2013), 2000, 1988, 1978, 1974, 1966, 1952, 1938, 1929, and 1922.
This Code is based on limit states design principles and defines design loadings, load combinations and load factors, criteria for earthquake resistant design, and detailed design criteria for the various materials. This Code has been written to be applicable in all provinces and territories.
There are 17 Sections in this Code:
Section 1 ('General') specifies general requirements for applying the Code and includes definitions and a reference publications clause applicable throughout this Code. It also specifies geometric requirements, based in part on the Transportation Association of Canada's Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads (2017), and hydraulic design requirements, based in part on the Transportation Association of Canada's Guide to Bridge Hydraulics (2004). There are also general provisions covering durability, economics, environmental considerations, aesthetics, safety, maintenance, and maintenance inspection access. The definitions in Clauses 1.3.2 to 1.3.4 apply to those used specifically in this Section, and new to this edition of the Code, also apply to common definitions used in more than one Section in this Code.
Section 2 ('Durability and sustainability') specifies requirements for durability and sustainability that need to be considered during the design process of bridges, culverts, and other structures located in transportation corridors. The durability requirements are based on principles applicable to service life design that consider the environmental exposure conditions, the deterioration mechanisms, the protective measures, and detailing requirements needed to meet the projected service life of structural components. The concept of sustainability considerations has been introduced to alert owners and designers to undertake design and decision-making practices that will help to achieve the context specific balance of social, environmental, and economic values, and impacts associated with the investment in building new or rehabilitation of existing bridges and other transportation structures included in the scope of this Code. Similarly, local climate change and exposure conditions are brought to the attention of designers and owners.

Section 3 ('Loads') specifies loading requirements for the design of new bridges, including requirements for permanent loads, live loads including special trucks, and special loads (but excluding seismic loads). The 625 kN truck load model and corresponding lane load model are specified as the minima for interprovincial transportation and are based on current Canadian legal loads. Ship collision provisions are also included. Section 3 does not specify limits on the span lengths for application of the truck and lane loads. Accordingly, long-span requirements have been developed and appear in Section 3 and elsewhere in this Code (these requirements, however, should not be considered comprehensive). Section 3 addresses wind tunnel testing for aerodynamic effects.
Section 4 ('Seismic design') specifies seismic design requirements for new bridges and evaluation and rehabilitation requirements for existing bridges. In this edition of the Code, performance-based design (PBD) has been maintained using updated values for damage states in ductile substructures. Additional damage and service definitions have been provided. Minimum performance levels have been revised from three to two seismic hazard levels for all bridges requiring PBD. Force-based design (FBD) remains permitted for a refined set of special cases. Requirements for geotechnical and foundation design have been moved to Section 6. Some provisions for bearing design have been moved to Section 11 with revisions in Section 4 for consistency. Capacity design has been clarified and encouraged for ductile structures using PBD and FBD. Design forces and material properties for PBD, FBD, and capacity design have been clarified. The shear capacity for ductile concrete columns has been revised upwards. Performance-based design and recommended minimum performance targets have been revised for the evaluation and rehabilitation of existing bridges. FBD approaches for existing bridges are discouraged, while guidance on displacement-based methods has been provided.

Section 5 ('Methods of analysis') specifies requirements for analyzing bridge superstructures. Additional guidance related to longitudinally connected beams and integral abutment bridges are provided. This Section presents new methods for the simplified analysis of longitudinally connected concrete box-beam bridges (previously named shear connected beams), curved steel girder bridges, and steel or aluminum pony-truss bridges. Reductions to limitations for when a curved bridge can be analyzed in the same manner as a straight bridge have been introduced. The robustness and accuracy of the simplified method has been verified by conducting thorough analysis using a large database of simply supported and continuous slab-on-girder bridges. This analysis resulted in shear forces being increased by up to 13% at interior supports for slab-on-girder bridges. In collaboration with Section 3, more specific requirements related to traffic loading are provided with the aim of clarifying the use of refined method of analysis. Revised requirements and guidance for the refined method of analysis have therefore been included. Methods for the design of deck slab cantilever overhang have been updated. Finally, a new simplified method of analysis is provided for determining the factored flexural resistance of steel-reinforced concrete barrier to transverse traffic barrier load.
Section 6 ('Foundations and geotechnical systems') adopted a risk-based approach to the design of foundations and geotechnical systems (including bridge approach embankments and retaining systems) in the 2014 edition of the Code. The risk-based design approach involves using a resistance factor, which captures our uncertainty in the ground and in our performance predictions, combined with a consequence factor, which adjusts target reliabilities depending on the severity of failure consequences (i.e., depending on the importance of the supported structure), to produce designs which properly account for the level of site understanding and failure consequences. This edition of the Code provides considerable additional changes, adding Code provisions in four design areas, three of which are entirely new to this Section, as follows:

• Clause 6.14, on seismic design, brings the geotechnical seismic design content originally in Section 4 into Section 6 and adds up-to-date content;
• Clause 6.10, on shallow foundations, has been brought up to date and its application is now much clearer;
• Clause 6.18, on permafrost design, provides new specifications for geotechnical design in cold climates; and
• Clause 6.19, on mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) wall systems, provides code requirements for MSE wall systems within the LRFD framework of Section 6 and addresses issues based on Canadian experience with these systems.

Section 7 ('Buried structures') deals with structures whose design and performance are heavily influenced by soil-structure interaction. The conduit wall of these buried structures can be fabricated from metal, steel or aluminum, or concrete. For metal structures, the conduit wall is made from corrugated plate which fits one of the three industry categories: shallow, deep, or deeper corrugated plate. For concrete structures the wall is reinforced concrete and can be precast or cast-in-place. Section 7 provides for a wide variety of structure shapes from low profile metal boxes or three-sided concrete boxes to large span metal or concrete arches. Section 7 specifies the use of refined methods of analysis for design although some simplified design equations can be used in smaller structures if specific geometric conditions are met. Section 7 also specifies requirements for determining the properties and dimensions of the engineered soil and non-soil components and addresses construction requirements, geotechnical requirements, and foundation design requirements.
Section 8 ('Concrete structures') covers reinforced, fully prestressed, and partially prestressed concrete components, including deck slabs, made of normal-density, semi-low-density, and high-density concrete of a strength varying from 30 to 80 MPa. Compression field theory is used for proportioning for shear and for torsion combined with flexure. The strut-and-tie approach is used for proportioning regions where the plane sections assumption is not applicable. New to this edition is an informative Annex that provides design provisions for tension softening and tension hardening fibre-reinforced concrete, including ultra-high performance concrete. Other significant changes in this edition include revised provisions relating to the design of slender compression members, the control of cracking, and the use of debonded strands in pretensioned components.
Section 9 ('Wood structures') specifies properties for materials and fastenings that are consistent with CSA O86 Engineering Design in Wood. In this edition of the Code, provisions have been reconfigured, and specified strengths revised, to make the application of service condition factors, related to moisture content in members, transparent for the designer. Specified strengths and moduli of elasticity for spruce, lodgepole pine, Jack pine glued-laminated timber have been introduced. Preservative treatments related to durability have been updated to reflect current industry practices, and design values for structural composite lumber have been removed as such products are proprietary and design values can vary between manufacturers. Finally, glued-laminated decks have been introduced.
Section 10 ('Steel structures') specifies the requirements for the design of structural steel bridges and highway accessory supports, including requirements for structural steel components, such as tension and compression members, composite and non-composite straight and horizontally curved girders of I-shape or box shape and their connections. It also covers trusses and arch type bridges. The requirements for structural fatigue and fracture control are outlined in Clauses 10.17 and 10.23, respectively. The construction requirements for steel bridges are specified in Annex A10.1. Provisions for hybrid girders have been re-introduced into Section 10 as Annex A10.2.
Section 11 ('Joints and bearings') specifies the minimum requirements for the design of deck joints and bearings. The design of elastomeric bearings has been updated from previous editions to be consistent with approaches used in other North American and international standards and codes. Alternative sliding materials (as an alternative to PTFE) comprised of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene are presented. A testing protocol for such materials is also presented.
Section 12 ('Barriers and highway accessory supports') specifies the requirements for the design of permanent bridge barriers and highway accessory supports. New provisions have been added in this edition of the Code to define the extent of the 'zone of Intrusion' behind barriers and for the design of noise barriers. Also, new provisions have been added for designing highway accessory supports at the serviceability and fatigue limit states.

Section 13 ('Movable bridges') specifies requirements for the design, construction, and operation of conventional movable bridges, i.e., bascule, swing, and vertical lift. Although the structural design aspects are based on the limit states design approach, the mechanical systems design procedures follow the working stress principle used in North American industry. This Section provides special load combinations and load factors that are specific to movable bridges.
Section 14 ('Evaluation') includes provisions concerning the three-level evaluation system, evaluation of deck slabs, detailed evaluation from bridge testing, and load posting of bridges. An optional probability-based mean load method that uses site-specific load and resistance information for more accurate evaluation is also provided. As in previous editions, an approach to determining material grades from small samples is provided.
Section 15 ('Rehabilitation and repair') specifies minimum design requirements for the rehabilitation of bridges, with particular emphasis on condition assessment, remaining service life, and rehabilitation design life. This Section also provides guidance on the selection of loads and load factors for rehabilitation that is based on the intended use of the bridge following rehabilitation. In this new edition of the Code, this Section introduces a new subsection on rehabilitation of structural steel elements to provide guidance on repair and strengthening of steel components and their connections.
Section 16 ('Fibre-reinforced structures') specifies design requirements for a number of structural components containing high- modulus fibre-reinforced polymers. The high-modulus fibres (aramid, carbon, and glass) are employed in fibre-reinforced polymers (FRPs), which are used for internal reinforcement as replacements for steel bars and tendons or as external reinforcement for retrofit. A new clause also briefly describes the use of the low-modulus fibres which are used for controlling cracks in concrete. This Section covers concrete beams, slabs, columns, concrete deck slabs, barrier walls, and stressed wood decks using FRP. Section 16 also includes design provisions for glass-fibre-reinforced polymers to be used as primary reinforcement and as tendons in concrete. An informative annex is now included to provide guidelines for GFRP composite bridges.
Section 17 ('Aluminum structures') specifies the requirements for the design, fabrication, and erection of aluminum highway bridges and pedestrian bridges. Where permitted in Section 12, Section 17 may now also be applied to highway accessory structures. In this edition of the Code, Clause 17.19 on aluminum bridge decks has been simplified and generalized recognizing that aluminum deck products may come in a broad variety of forms. Clause 17.20 on fatigue has been updated to add new local stress approaches, and a new Clause 17.26 on performance assessment by testing has been added. CSA Group acknowledges that the development of this Code was made possible, in part, by the financial support of the governments of Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, the Northwest Territories, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan, and the Yukon, Public Works and Government Services Canada, the Federal Bridge Corporation Limited, and Les Ponts Jacques Cartier et Champlain Incorporée.

S6-14 - Canadian highway bridge design code

Intended Use

In Canada, the legal mandate for establishing design and construction requirements for highways, including highway bridges, lies with the provincial and territorial governments. The Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code was developed to provide a state-of-the-art model design code that could be adopted by all provinces and territories.
This Code establishes safety and reliability levels for highway bridges that are consistent across all Canadian jurisdictions. It makes it easier for the consulting and producer industries to respond to calls for proposals and also supports the implementation of a national highway transportation system with agreed minimum standards and loadings for bridges on interprovincial highways, thereby encouraging consistency of vehicle weights across jurisdictions and supporting the objective of more cost-effective transportation of goods.
This Code uses the limit states design approach and reflects current design conditions across Canada as well as research activity since the publication of the previous edition. Several design aspects are addressed for the first time in this edition and a more detailed treatment of many areas is provided.
This Code is complemented by CSA S6.1-14, Commentary on CAN/CSA-S6-14, Canadian highway bridge design code, which provides rationale statements and explanatory material for many of the clauses of this Code.
