Due to the Design Truck:
A closed-form solution for the maximum moment at any point along a simply-supported beam due
to an HS20 axle load is given below. Note that there are two formulae, one that is valid for the
region between the support and the L/3 point of the beam, and the other that is valid between L/3
and midspan. These two formulae correspond to different orientations of the truck (i.e., when it
faces one way or the other).

1.4 Strand Pattern Properties

For a given strand pattern, debonding pattern, and vector or check point locations, program "Apss" determines the
effective area of strands at service conditions at each location along the girder. An elevation above which all strands are
ignored is also supplied. If all strands are to be counted, enter the overall beam height for "ht".

1.6 Prestress Losses

At Release
At release, two components of prestress loss are significant: relaxation of the prestressing steel and elastic shortening.
Elastic shortening is the loss of prestress that results when the strands are detensioned and the girder shortens in
length due to the applied prestress. When the strands are tensioned in the prestress bed and anchored at the
abutments, the steel gradually begins to relax as a function of time. By the time the strands are detensioned a small,
but measurable, loss due to steel relaxation has occurred.

 Live Load Moments (HL-93):

Maximum Moments Due to Design Truck and Design Lane:

Due to the Design Truck:
A closed-form solution for the maximum moment at any point along a simply-supported beam due to the LRFD
design truck is given below. Note that there are two formulae, one which is valid for the region between the support
and the L/3 point of the beam, and the other which is valid between L/3 and midspan. These two formulae
correspond to different orientations of the truck (i.e., when it faces one way or the other).

2.4 Strand Pattern Properties
For a given strand pattern, debonding pattern, and vector or check point locations, program "Apss" determines the
effective area of strands at service conditions at each location along the girder. An elevation above which all strands are
ignored is also supplied. If all strands are to be counted, enter the overall beam height for "ht".

2.6 Prestress Losses

At Release:
At release, two components of prestress loss are significant: relaxation of the prestressing steel and elastic shortening.
Elastic shortening is the loss of prestress that results when the strands are detensioned and the girder shortens in
length due to the applied prestress. When the strands are tensioned in the prestress bed and anchored at the
abutments, the steel gradually begins to relax as a function of time. By the time the strands are detensioned a small,
but measurable, loss due to steel relaxation has occurred.

At each section the following must be satisfied for shear:

three equations (as indicated by the small

Section to investigate: vx  2 (Use this to vary section to perform detailed shear calcs.)

The critical section for shear near a support in which the reaction force produces compression
in the end of the member is, from the face of support (Fig. 2), the greater of:
a. 0.5dvcot(),
or

2.11 Longitudinal Reinforcement Check
LRFD requires that the longitudinal steel be checked at all locations along the girder. This requirement is made to
ensure that the longitudinal reinforcement is sufficient to develop the required tension tie, which is required for
equilibrium. Equation 5.8.3.5-1 is the general equation, applicable at all sections. However, for the special case
of the inside edge of bearing at simple-end supports, the longitudinal reinforcement must be able to resist a tensile
force of (Vu / - 0.5Vs - Vp )cot(). Note that when pretensioned strands are used to develop this force, only a
portion of the full prestress force may be available near the support due to partial transfer. Additionally, only those
strands on the flexural tension side of the member contribute to the tension tie force.

Required Tension Tie Force:

If only the minimum amount of transverse reinforcement that is required by design is provided, the required
tension tie force is:
 Vu2 
  Eq. 5.8.3.5-2
FL_reqd   0.5 Vs  Vp  cot( θ) FL_reqd  342.5 kip
 ϕv 
 
However, a greater amount of stirrup reinforcement is typically provided than is required, which increases the
actual Vs. Note that by Eq. 5.8.3.5-2, increasing Vs decreases the required tension tie force. Hence, it is helpful
to use the computed of Vs that results from the actual transverse reinforcement detailed in the design. In this
case, the required tension tie force is:
Assume 2 legs of No. 4 bars at 12" on center (amount of steel at the critical section for shear):
2
Av_actual  0.4 in

Provided Tension Tie Force:
The longitudinal reinforcement that contributes to the tension tie are strands that are on the flexural tension side of
the girder. Near the ends of the girder, the strands are typically only partially effective. C5.8.3.5 of the 2006 Interim
Revisions permits the strand stress in regions of partial development to be estimated using a bilinear variation, as
shown in Fig. 4.

Figure 4: Variation in strand stress in relation to distance from girder end.

Determine number of strands effective at face of bearing (strands below h/2 and not debonded):
Ns( ptn pth ht dbn)  N0

break if k = 0

 h 
Nstr  N sEPat_n EPat_h  EDb_n
 2  Nstr  22
The stress in the strands at a given section depends on the location of the section with respect to the end of the
girder. If the section is between the end of the girder and Lt (see Fig. 4), a linear interpolation is performed using a
stress variation of 0.0 at the end of the girder to f pe at a distance of Lt from the end of the girder. If the section is to
the right of Lt but to the left of Ld , then the stress is interpolated between f pe and fps. If the section is to the right of
Ld , then the stress is assumed to be a constant value of f ps.
At the face of bearing, the stress in the effective strands is:
Face of bearing: xf  0.5 ft (Distance from center of bearing to face of bearing)

Refined Estimate of Provided Tension Tie Force:
If it is assumed that the point of intersection of the bearing crack (at angle theta) and c.g. of the strands is where the
force in the strands is computed, then additional tensile capacity from the strands can be utilized.

Figure 5: Elevation view of end of girder showing location where assumed failure crack crosses the c.g. of that
portion of the strand pattern that is effective for resisting tensile forces caused by moment and shear.

Maximum Moments Due to Design Truck and Design Lane:
Due to the Design Truck:
A closed-form solution for the maximum moment at any point along a simply-supported beam due
to an HS20 axle load is given below. Note that there are two formulae, one that is valid for the
region between the support and the L/3 point of the beam, and the other that is valid between L/3
and midspan. These two formulae correspond to different orientations of the truck (i.e., when it
faces one way or the other).

3.6 Prestress Losses

At Release:
At release, two components of prestress loss are significant: relaxation of the prestressing steel and elastic shortening.
Elastic shortening is the loss of prestress that results when the strands are detensioned and the girder shortens in
length due to the applied prestress. When the strands are tensioned in the prestress bed and anchored at the
abutments, the steel gradually begins to relax as a function of time. By the time the strands are detensioned a small,
but measurable, loss due to steel relaxation has occurred.

3.11 Interface Shear Design

The ability to transfer shear across the interface between the top of the precast beam and the cast-in-place deck
must be checked. This check falls under the Horizontal Shear Design section of the Standard Specifications (STD
9.20.4). However, little guidance is given by the Specs. in determining the design shear force. The procedures
implemented here for determining the factored horizontal shear force are generally in conformance with those of
Section 9.3.12 of the PCI Bridge Design Manual and the commentary of Art. 5.8.4 of the LRFD Specs .

Live Load Moments (HL-93):

Maximum Moments Due to Design Truck and Design Lane:

Due to the Design Truck:

PSBeam uses a sophisticated, highly flexible and accurate axle-placement algorithm. However, for
convenience in checking, a closed-form solution for the maximum moment at any point along a
simply-supported beam due to the LRFD design truck is given below. There are two formulae, one
which is valid for the region between the support and the L/3 point of the beam, and the other which is
valid between L/3 and midspan. These two formulae correspond to different orientations of the truck
(i.e., when it faces one way or the other).

Prestress Losses per LRFD 3rd Edition

At Release:
At release, two components of prestress loss are significant: relaxation of the prestressing steel and elastic shortening.
Elastic shortening is the loss of prestress that results when the strands are detensioned and the girder shortens in
length due to the applied prestress. When the strands are tensioned in the prestress bed and anchored at the
abutments, the steel gradually begins to relax as a function of time. By the time the strands are detensioned a small,
but measurable, loss due to steel relaxation has occurred.

Vu  Vr Note: Evaluation has been disabled for these three equations (as indicated
by the small boxes) to enable them to be shown without first evaluating their
parameters.
Vr  ϕVn (LRFD 5.8.2.1-2)

Vn  Vc  Vs  Vp (LRFD 5.8.3.3-1)

Critical Section for Shear:

The critical section for shear near a support in which the reaction force produces compression in
the end of the member is, from the face of support (Fig. 2), the greater of:
(LRFD 5.8.3.2)
a. 0.5dvcot(), or
b. dv
where,
d v = Effective shear depth = Distance between resultants of tensile and compressive forces = de - a/2

Compute Aps & d p

Note that A ps in the equation used to compute x is the area of the prestressing steel on
the flexural tension side only. It is not the total area of strands. The variable A ps_ex is
introduced below to handle this.

value of  is not within 0.1 degrees of the value from the previous trial (the assumed value for the first
trial), then another iteration should be performed. Experience has shown that this level of

4.8 Longitudinal Reinforcement Check
LRFD requires that the longitudinal steel be checked at all locations along the girder. This requirement is made to
ensure that the longitudinal reinforcement is sufficient to develop the required tension tie, which is required for
equilibrium. Equation 5.8.3.5-1 is the general equation, applicable at all sections. However, for the special case
of the inside edge of bearing at simple-end supports, the longitudinal reinforcement must be able to resist a tensile
force of (Vu / - 0.5Vs - Vp )cot(). Note that when pretensioned strands are used to develop this force, only a
portion of the full prestress force may be available near the support due to partial transfer. Additionally, only those
strands on the flexural tension side of the member contribute to the tension tie force.

Required Tension Tie Force:

If only the minimum amount of transverse reinforcement that is required by design is provided, the required
tension tie force is:

 Vu 
FL_reqd    0.5  Vs  Vp  cot( θ) FL_reqd  573.2 kip Eq. 5.8.3.5-2
 ϕv 
However, a greater amount of stirrup reinforcement is typically provided than is required, which increases the
actual Vs. Note that by Eq. 5.8.3.5-2, increasing Vs decreases the required tension tie force. Hence, it is helpful
to use the computed of Vs that results from the actual transverse reinforcement detailed in the design. In this
case, the required tension tie force is:
Assume 2 legs of No. 4 bars at 12" on center (amount of steel at the critical section for shear):

Provided Tension Tie Force:
The longitudinal reinforcement that contributes to the tension tie are strands that are on the flexural tension side of
the girder. Near the ends of the girder, the strands are typically only partially effective. C5.8.3.5 of the 2006 Interim
Revisions permits the strand stress in regions of partial development to be estimated using a bilinear variation, as
shown in Fig. 4.

Figure 5: Variation in strand stress in relation to distance from girder end.

The stress in the strands at a given section depends on the location of the section with respect to the end of the
girder. If the section is between the end of the girder and Lt (see Fig. 5), a linear interpolation is performed using a
stress variation of 0.0 at the end of the girder to fpe at a distance of Lt from the end of the girder. If the section is to
the right of Lt but to the left of Ld , then the stress is interpolated between f pe and fps. If the section is to the right of
Ld , then the stress is assumed to be a constant value of f ps.
At the face of bearing, the stress in the effective strands is:

Refined Estimate of Provided Tension Tie Force:

If it is assumed that the point of intersection of the bearing crack (at angle theta) and c.g. of the strands is where the
force in the strands is computed, then additional tensile capacity from the strands can be utilized.

Figure 6: Elevation view of end of girder showing location where assumed failure crack crosses the c.g. of that
portion of the strand pattern that is effective for resisting tensile forces caused by moment and shear.

4.9 Interface Shear Design

The ability to transfer shear across the interface between the top of the precast beam and the cast-in-place deck must
be checked. This check falls under the interface shear or shear friction section of LRFD (5.8.4). Recall that under the
Standard Specs, this check falls under the horizontal shear section.

Little guidance is offered by the LRFD Specs on how to compute the applied shear stress at the strength limit state.
Two procedures are presented here for comparison. One treats the problem as a linear elastic analysis using the
VQ/Ib approach, and the other uses the approach recommended by the PCI Bridge Design Manual, which is a strength
limit state approach. Both approaches assume that all loads generate stress across the interface.

5.3 Moments and Shears

Three different structural models are required to assess the effects of all the load types that act on a
continuous pretensioned girder bridge, as shown in Fig. 5 below.

Figure 5: Longitudinal section through 3-span continuous bridge with structural models.

At Release:
At release, when the prestress force is transferred to the girder, the structural model is a simple-span beam. The
assumed length of the beam can be the overall length of the girder, or it can be somewhat less than the overall length
to model supports that are located some distance in from the ends of the beam. For this example, the effective girder
length at release will be assumed to be the overall length of the precast girder.
While the girder is in the prestress yard, there are three (actually, there are five, but two are symmetric) locations
along the girder that are potentially of interest: the transfer point of the strands, the depression points of the draped
strands (assuming a 2-point depressed pattern), and midspan of the girder. For girders with no debonding, the net
stress due to prestress and girder self-weight will achieve maximum and minimum values at one or more of these
locations .

At Final Conditions:
Check Points:
At final conditions, there are two structural models that are required to perform the analysis. For a composite
system, such as this one, some of the loads act on the bare precast beam and some of the loads act on the
continuous, multi-span system. Using the principle of superposition, the effects of the loads that act on the
simple-span model can be added to the moments, shears, and stresses caused by loads that act on the
continuous system.
Two frames of reference are convenient for locating checkpoints at final conditions on a continuous structure. For
checking stresses in the girder, for checking the positive flexural capacity, and for computing the required
transverse reinforcement (i.e., stirrups), the centerline of the left bearing of the girder will be the reference point and
will be designated xf. For computing gross moments and shears acting on the continuous system and for
assessing the negative flexural capacity of the system, the centerline of the left pier of the span will be used as the
point of reference and will be designated xfc.
For this particular structure, for the first frame of reference, there are five points of interest in Span 2
at final conditions:

1. Centerline of left bearing xf  0.0 ft (Note: All final checkpoints are referenced to L. bearing)

For the second frame of reference there are eleven points of interest in Span 2 at final conditions,
which correspond to tenth points of of Span 2, measured from centerline of the left pier (Pier 2) to
the centerline of the right pier (Pier 3) :

For girder design itself, the results of the continuous structure (10th points, measured from centerline of pier to
centerline of pier) must be mapped onto the checkpoints of the girder. In reference to Fig. 6, the following function
maps the results from the continuous beam analysis to the girder check points at final using linear interpolation.

Note: Since for a simple-span structural system of this type, it is unlikely that compression at the top of the deck at
a given section would exceed its allowable value, calculation of those stresses will be omitted for simplicity. Only
the stresses at the bottom and top of the precast beam itself will be computed.

5.9 Flexural Strength Check

Positive Moment Envelope

Note: The methods of evaluation of the flexural capacity of a prestressed concrete girder specified in the AASHTO Standard
Specifications and in the AASHTO LRFD Specifications incorporate the same basic theory. While there are minor differences
in some of the calculations, the main differences are in the nomenclature each spec uses. For simplicity, therefore, PSBeam
incorporates only one of the methods, the one in the LRFD Specifications.

5.11 Interface Shear Design
The ability to transfer shear across the interface between the top of the precast beam and the cast-in-place deck
must be checked. This check falls under the Horizontal Shear Design section of the Standard Specifications (STD
9.20.4). However, little guidance is given by the Specs. in determining the design shear force. The procedures
implemented here for determining the factored horizontal shear force are generally in conformance with those of
Section 9.3.12 of the PCI Bridge Design Manual and the commentary of Art. 5.8.4 of the LRFD Specs .

Case (c): Surface is intentionally roughened and minimum ties are provided:
Vnhc  350 psi b tf  ds Vnhc  1120.9 kip (STD 9.20.4.3(c))
For each percent of tie reinforcement crossing the contact surface in excess of
minimum, the shear strength can be increased by:

6.2 Section Properties

Note that the parameter 'Ac' is specifically

defined in LRFD as the area of concrete on
the flexural tension side of the member as
shown in Figure 3 (LRFD Article 5.8.3.4.2
and LRFD Fig. 5.8.3.4.2-3). Ac is used in
the shear calculations.

6.3 Moments and Shears
Three different structural models are required to assess the effects of all the load types that act on a
continuous pretensioned girder bridge, as shown in Fig. 5 below.

Figure 5: Longitudinal section through 3-span continuous bridge with structural models.

At Release:
At release, when the prestress force is transferred to the girder, the structural model is a simple-span beam. The
assumed length of the beam can be the overall length of the girder, or it can be somewhat less than the overall
length to model supports that are located some distance in from the ends of the beam. For this example, the
effective girder length at release will be assumed to be the overall length of the precast girder.
While the girder is in the prestress yard, there are three (actually, there are five, but two are
symmetric) locations along the girder that are potentially of interest: the transfer point of the strands,
the depression points of the draped strands (assuming a 2-point depressed pattern), and midspan of
the girder. For girders with no debonding, the net stress due to prestress and girder self-weight will
achieve maximum and minimum values at one or more of these locations .

At Final Conditions:
Check Points:
At final conditions, there are two structural models that are required to perform the analysis. For a composite system,
such as this one, some of the loads act on the bare precast beam and some of the loads act on the continuous,
multi-span system. Using the principle of superposition, the effects of the loads that act on the simple-span model
can be added to the moments, shears, and stresses caused by loads that act on the continuous system.

Two frames of reference are convenient for locating checkpoints at final conditions on a continuous structure. For
checking stresses in the girder, for checking the positive flexural capacity, and for computing the required transverse
reinforcement (i.e., stirrups), the centerline of the left bearing of the girder will be the reference point and will be
designated xf. For computing gross moments and shears acting on the continuous system and for assessing the
negative flexural capacity of the system, the centerline of the left pier of the span will be used as the point of
reference and will be designated xfc.
For this particular structure, for the first frame of reference, there are five points of interest in Span 2
at final conditions:

1. Centerline of left bearing xf  0.0 ft (Note: All final checkpoints are referenced to L. bearing)
1
Lovr  Ldes
2. Left transfer point of strands: xf  L t 
2 2
3. Left critical section for shear.
The critical section for shear is dv from the face of the support. This can be conservatively
assumed to be 0.72h.

For the second frame of reference there are eleven points of interest in Span 2 at final conditions,
which correspond to tenth points of Span 2, measured from centerline of the left pier (Pier 2) to the
centerline of the right pier (Pier 3) :

Figure 6: Girder, bearing, and pier configuration at an interior pier.

For girder design itself, the results of the continuous structure (10th points, measured from centerline of pier to
centerline of pier) must be mapped onto the checkpoints of the girder. In reference to Fig. 6, the following function
maps the results from the continuous beam analysis to the girder check points at final using linear interpolation.

Note: Since for a simple-span structural system of this type, it is unlikely that compression at
the top of the deck at a given section would exceed its allowable value, calculation of those
stresses will be omitted for simplicity. Only the stresses at the bottom and top of the precast
beam itself will be computed.

6.10 Vertical Shear Design

At each section the following must be satisfied for shear:
Vu  Vr (LRFD 5.8.2.1-2)
Note: Evaluation has been disabled for these
three equations (as indicated by the small
Vr  ϕVn boxes) to enable them to be shown without first
evaluating their parameters.
Vn  Vc  Vs  Vp (LRFD 5.8.3.3-1)

Critical Section for Shear: (LRFD 5.8.3.2)

The critical section for shear near a support in which the reaction force produces compression
in the end of the member is, from the face of support (Fig. 2), the greater of:
a. 0.5dvcot(),
or
b. dv
where,
dv = Effective shear depth = Distance between resultants of tensile and compressive forces = de - a/2
an
d v  ds  d v  73.24 in a n  6.019 in
2
But dv need not be taken less than the greater of 0.9de and 0.72h. Thus,
d e  d s 0.9  de  68.625 in 0.72 hc  57.6 in


Min_d v  if 0.9 d e  0.72 hc 0.9 d e 0.72 h c  Min_d v  68.625 in


d v  if dv  Min_d v Min_d v d v  d v  73.24 in

To compute critical section, assume: θ  25 deg

0.5 dv cot( θ)  78.532 in


Crit_sec  if dv  0.5  dv cot( θ) d v 0.5  dv cot( θ)  Crit_sec  78.53 in (LRFD 5.8.2.7)

©2014 Eriksson Technologies, Inc. 219 PSBeam QC Document

Assuming that the distance from the face of support to the centerline of bearing is half
the bearing pad length, the critical section for shear is:
L pad
Crit_sec  Crit_sec  Crit_sec  7.044 ft
2
The above calculations for determining the location of the critical section for shear per LRFD are for illustrative purposes.
PSBeam uses a conservative approach to estimating the location of the critical section that is consistent with the LRFD
provisions, but which requires no assumptions and no iteration.

PSBeam assumes the critical section to be located at 0.72h from the face of bearing. The logic of this is as follows:
since dv need not be lower than the greater of 0.9de and 0.72h, either of these two values is permissible. And since the
greater of the two values may be used, either value may be used since adopting the lesser value is conservative since
the design shear is higher closer to the support.

Recall that 0.72h from the face of the support was computed earlier as: xf  5.3 ft

At the critical section, the factored shear is:

The shear contribution from the concrete, Vc, is given by:

This procedure has been automated below using a double interpolation procedure.

6.11 Longitudinal Reinforcement Check
LRFD requires that the longitudinal steel be checked at all locations along the girder. This requirement is
made to ensure that the longitudinal reinforcement is sufficient to develop the required tension tie, which is
required for equilibrium.
At simple-end supports, the longitudinal reinforcement must be able to resist a tensile force of (Vu / -
0.5Vs - Vp )cot(). Note that when pretensioned strands are used to develop this force, only a portion of
the full prestress force may be available near the support due to partial transfer of the strands.
Additionally, only those strands on the flexural tension side of the member contribute to the tension tie
force. For sections away from the face of bearing, Eq. 5.8.3.5-1 is used to compute the required tensile
tie force.
If the reaction force introduces direct compression into the flexural compression face of the member, the
area of longitudinal reinforcement need not exceed the amount of reinforcement required to resist the
moment acting alone (Art. 5.8.3.5). At interior supports of continuous structures, this is the case.
Hence, if the amount of tension steel in the deck slab (continuity steel) is proportioned to resist the
maximum negative moment, then a separate check of longitudinal reinforcement is not required.

6.12 Interface Shear Design

The ability to transfer shear across the interface between the top of the precast beam and the cast-in-place deck
must be checked. This check falls under the interface shear or shear friction section of LRFD (5.8.4). Recall
that under the Standard Specs, this check falls under the horizontal shear section.
Little guidance is offered by the LRFD Specs on how to compute the applied shear stress at the strength limit
state. Two procedures are presented here for comparison. One treats the problem as a linear elastic analysis
using the VQ/Ib approach, and the other uses the approach recommended by the PCI Bridge Design Manual
which is a strength limit state approach. Both approaches assume that only loads that act on the composite
section generate stress across the interface.

 7.2 Check Points
Two sets of check points are used for calculations: one for release and the other for final conditions since the
locations of interest are different at release as compared to final conditions.
At Release:
At transfer, there are seven locations along the girder of interest:
1. Transfer point of strands: xr  60  db xr  2.5 ft (LRFD 5.8.2.3)
2 2
2. 10th points:

Array of check points at release: xr  ( 0 2.5 9.6 19.2 28.8 38.4 48 )  ft
At Final:

At final conditions, 10th points of the span (to midspan) plus the critical section for shear will be investigated.
1. The critical section for shear is dv from the face of the support. At this point in the
calculations dv is not known, so a reasonable value must be assumed. Assume dv
equals 90% of the height of the section. Thus, from the centerline of bearing, the critical
point for shear is estimated as:

7.3 Strand Pattern Properties

For a given strand pattern, debonding pattern, and vector or check point locations, program "Noeff" determines the
number of strands effective at a given location. An elevation above which all strands are ignored is also supplied. If all
strands are to be counted, enter the overall beam height for "ht".

Maximum Moments Due to Design Truck and Design Lane:

Due to the Design Truck:
A closed-form solution for the maximum moment at any point along a simply-supported beam due
to the LRFD design truck is given below. Note that there are two formulae, one which is valid for
the region between the support and the L/3 point of the beam, and the other which is valid between
L/3 and midspan. These two formulae correspond to different orientations of the truck (i.e., when it
faces one way or the other). For technical support, visit www.lrfd.com.

7.9 Prestress Losses
Total Loss of Prestress:
ΔfpT  ΔfpES  ΔfpLT (LRFD 5.9.5.1-1)

where:
f pES = Sum of all losses due to elastic shortening at time of application of prestress load (ksi).
Note that in accordance with LRFD C5.9.5.2.3a, the effects of losses due to elastic shortening are
implicitly accounted for when transformed section properties are used. That is, fpES should not be
included in the loss calculations as a separate quantity. Therefore, fpES need not be computed
separately since it is implicitly accounted for in the calculations.
fpLT = Total loss due to long-term effects, which include shrinkage and creep of the concrete and
relaxation of the prestressing steel (ksi).
In pretensioned bridge girder design, stresses have traditionally been assessed at two time frames: at release of
prestress (i.e., when the prestress force is applied to the girder) and at final (long-term) conditions. Therefore, loss
of prestress has been evaluated at these two periods in the life of the girder. However, with the new prestress loss
procedure introduced in the 2005 Interim Revisions, long-term losses are computed in two steps: (a) The time
period between prestress transfer and placement of the cast-in-place concrete deck and (b) the time period
between deck placement and the end of the service life of the girder. These two periods correspond to the
non-composite and composite phases of the structural system. The rate of stress change in the strands can differ
significantly in each phase, hence the need to subdivide the long-term losses into two components.

In non-composite precast girder systems, such as the non-composite adjacent box beams used in this example,
some modifications to the loss procedure are necessary to properly apply it. After the girders are erected, no
deck is cast; significant loads are introduced to the bridge nonetheless. Barriers and an asphalt wearing course
are typically applied, which result in a significant stress change in the girder. Hence, the same two time periods
will be used as for a composite system, except that the "deck placement" stage will be called superimposed
dead loads (SDL) placement.

Loss at Release:

The principal component of prestress loss when the strands are released and the prestress force in the strands is
imparted into the girder is elastic shortening. This reduction in prestress (prestress loss) occurs essentially
instantaneously. However, as noted above, since transformed properties (i.e., the prestressing steel is
transformed into an equivalent area of concrete) are used in this example problem, a separate calculation need
not be performed to compute the effects of elastic shortening; the effects are implicit in the stress calculations.

Loss at Final Conditions:

The time-dependent loss of prestress consists of three distinct components. Loss due to:
1. Creep of girder concrete,
2. Relaxation of prestressing strands, and
3. Shrinkage of girder concrete.
These are computed in two stages:
1. From time prestress force is imparted to the girder to the time the girder is erected and
2. From the time the barriers and wearing surface are applied to final time.
Mathematically, this is expressed as:
fpLT = (fpSR+f pCR+f pR1 )id + (f pSD+f pCD+f pR2 -fpSS)df (LRFD 5.9.5.4.1-1)

Since there is no CIP slab in this system, the last term of this expression should be omitted:
fpLT = (f pSR+f pCR+f pR1 )id + (f pSD+f pCD+f pR2 )df

Materials Properties:

The shrinkage and creep properties of the girder need to be computed in preparation for the actual prestress loss
computations. These are addressed in LRFD Article 5.4.2.3. Creep coefficients are computed in accordance with
Article 5.4.2.3.2 and shrinkage strains are computed in accordance with Article 5.4.2.3.3.

Loss from Transfer to SDL Placement:

The prestress loss from transfer of prestress to placement of SDL consists of three loss components: shrinkage of the
girder concrete, creep of the girder concrete, and relaxation of the strands. That is,

Time-Dependent Loss from Transfer to SDL Placement = f pSR+f pCR+f pR1

between concrete and bonded steel in the section being considered for the time

ecc_r contains values at check points relative to release (i.e., the end of the girder), and vector
ecc_r is relative to final check points (i.e., relative to the left bearing of the girder). The

where:
k'L = Factor accounting for type of prestressing steel, equal to 45 for low-relaxation
steel and 10 for stress-relieved steel.

Art. 5.9.5.4.2c also permits 1.2 ksi to be assumed as the loss for low-relaxation strands.
Using the first formula:
The parameter f pt is the stress in the strands immediately after transfer. At that point in
time, the loss associated with elastic shortening has already occurred. However, since
transformed section properties are being used in this example, there has been no need to
compute elastic shortening as a separate item since its effects are implicit in the
calculations (see LRFD C5.9.5.2.3a). But to compute fpt, the loss caused by elastic
shortening must be computed since the stress in the strands--rather than the
concrete--after release is needed. This can be computed by calculating the stress in the
concrete immediately after release and multiplying by the modular ratio, n, to determine
the change in strand stress. This change in strand stress can then be deducted from the
jacking stress to obtain the net strand stress after release.
The stress in the concrete at the cg of the strands after transfer was computed above
(using transformed section properties), which is f cgp :
fcgp  1.305  ksi

Thus, the change in steel stress is:

Loss from SDL Placement to Final:

The prestress loss from placement of SDL to final conditions consists of four loss components: shrinkage of the
girder concrete, creep of the girder concrete, and relaxation of the strands. That is,

Time-Dependent Loss from SDL Placement to Final = f pSD+f pCD+f pR2

Shrinkage of Concrete Girder:

ΔfpSD  ε bdf  Ep  Kdf (LRFD5.9.5.4.3a-1)

7.10 Stress Due to Prestress

Stress Due to Total Initial Prestress Force at Transfer

The stress in the concrete at transfer is computed directly by applying the total initial prestress force to the
transformed girder properties at release:

Change in Concrete Stress Due to Prestress Loss

The change in concrete stress due to long-term losses is computed by applying the change in strand force due
to long-term losses to the concrete cross section that resists the forces at the time. Recall that the long-term
losses were computed in two parts: f pLTid ,the long-term loss between transfer and SDL placement, and
fpLTdf, the long-term losses from SDL placement to final time. For each of these changes in stress, the
corresponding forces are computed. The changes in concrete stress are then computed by applying these
forces to the gross precast section.

sections, and the resulting stresses are summed.

8.2 Check Points

Two sets of check points are used for calculations: one for release and the other for final conditions since the
locations of interest are different at release as compared to final conditions.
At Release:
At release there are three locations of interest along the girder:

1. Transfer point of strands:

Transfer_Length  60 d b (LRFD 5.8.2.3)

xr  Transfer_Length

A closed-form solution for the maximum moment at any point along a simply-supported beam due to the
LRFD design truck is given below. There are two formulae, one which is valid for the region between the
support and the L/3 point of the beam, and the other which is valid between L/3 and midspan. These two
formulae correspond to different orientations of the truck (i.e., when it faces one way or the other).

8.8 Prestress Losses
Total Loss of Prestress:
ΔfpT  ΔfpES  ΔfpLT (LRFD 5.9.5.1-1)

where:

f pES = Sum of all losses due to elastic shortening at time of application of prestress load (ksi).
Note that in accordance with LRFD C5.9.5.2.3a, the effects of losses due to elastic shortening are
implicitly accounted for when transformed section properties are used. That is, fpES should not be
included in the loss calculations as a separate quantity. Therefore, fpES need not be computed
separately since it is implicitly accounted for in the calculations.
fpLT = Total loss due to long-term effects, which include shrinkage and creep of the concrete and
relaxation of the prestressing steel (ksi).

In pretensioned bridge girder design, stresses have traditionally been assessed at two time frames: at release of
prestress (i.e., when the prestress force is applied to the girder) and at final (long-term) conditions. Therefore, loss
of prestress has been evaluated at these two periods in the life of the girder. However, with the new prestress loss
procedure introduced in the 2005 Interim Revisions, long-term losses are computed in two steps: (a) The time
period between prestress transfer and placement of the cast-in-place concrete deck and (b) the time period
between deck placement and the end of the service life of the girder. These two periods correspond to the
non-composite and composite phases of the structural system. The rate of stress change in the strands can differ
significantly in each phase, hence the need to subdivide the long-term losses into two components.

Loss at Release:

The principal component of prestress loss when the strands are released and the prestress force in the strands is
imparted into the girder is elastic shortening. This reduction in prestress (prestress loss) occurs essentially
instantaneously. However, as noted above, since transformed properties (i.e., the prestressing steel is
transformed into an equivalent area of concrete) are used in this example problem, a separate calculation need
not be performed to compute the effects of elastic shortening; the effects are implicit in the stress calculations.

Loss at Final Conditions:

The time-dependent loss of prestress consists of three distinct components. Loss due to:
1. Creep of girder concrete,
2. Relaxation of prestressing strands, and
3. Shrinkage of girder concrete and shrinkage of deck concrete.
These are computed in two stages:
1. From the time prestress force is imparted to the girder to the time the deck is cast and
2. From the time the deck is cast until the end of the service life of the girder.
Mathematically, this is expressed as:
fpLT = (fpSR+f pCR+f pR1 )id + (f pSD+f pCD+f pR2 -fpSS)df (LRFD 5.9.5.4.1-1)

Materials Properties:

The shrinkage and creep properties of both the girder and deck concrete need to be computed in preparation for the
actual prestress loss computations. These are addressed in LRFD Article 5.4.2.3. Creep coefficients are computed in
accordance with Article 5.4.2.3.2 and shrinkage strains are computed in accordance with Article 5.4.2.3.3.

Loss from Transfer to Deck Placement:

The prestress loss from transfer of prestress to placement of deck consists of three loss components: shrinkage of the
girder concrete, creep of the girder concrete, and relaxation of the strands. That is,

Time-Dependent Loss from Transfer to Deck Placement = f pSR+f pCR+f pR1

Shrinkage of Concrete Girder:

ΔfpSR  εbid Ep  Kid (LRFD5.9.5.4.2a-1)

where:
bid = Concrete shrinkage strain of girder between transfer and deck placement. Computed using
LRFD Eq. 5.4.2.3.3-1
Ep = Modulus of elasticity of prestressing strand (ksi).
Kid = Transformed steel coefficient that accounts for time-dependent interaction
between concrete and bonded steel in the section being considered for the time
period between transfer and deck placement.

The transformed section coefficient, k id , is computed using:

ecc_r contains values at check points relative to release (i.e., the end of the girder), and vector
ecc_r is relative to final check points (i.e., relative to the left bearing of the girder). The
eccentricity at the midspan of the girder is the value of interest.

KL = Factor accounting for type of prestressing steel. Taken as 30 for low-relaxation
strands and 7 for other types of prestressing steel.

where:
k'L = Factor accounting for type of prestressing steel, equal to 45 for low-relaxation
steel and 10 for stress-relieved steel.

Art. 5.9.5.4.2c also permits 1.2 ksi to be assumed as the loss for low-relaxation strands.
Using the first formula:
The parameter f pt is the stress in the strands immediately after transfer. At that point in
time, the loss associated with elastic shortening has already occurred. However, since
transformed section properties are being used in this example, there has been no need to
compute elastic shortening as a separate item since its effects are implicit in the
calculations (see LRFD C5.9.5.2.3a). But to compute fpt, the loss caused by elastic
shortening must be computed since the stress in the strands--rather than the
concrete--after release is needed. This can be computed by calculating the stress in the
concrete immediately after release and multiplying by the modular ratio, n, to determine
the change in strand stress. This change in strand stress can then be deducted from the
jacking stress to obtain the net strand stress after release.
The stress in the concrete at the cg of the strands after transfer was computed above
(using transformed section properties), which is f cgp :
fcgp  3.046 ksi

Thus, the change in steel stress is:

Loss from Deck Placement to Final:

The prestress loss from placement of deck to final conditions consists of four loss components: shrinkage of the
girder concrete, creep of the girder concrete, relaxation of the strands, and shrinkage of the deck. That is,

Time-Dependent Loss from Deck Placement to Final = f pSD+f pCD+f pR2 + f pSS

Change in Concrete Stress Due to Prestress Loss

The change in concrete stress due to long-term losses is computed by applying the change in strand force due to
long-term losses to concrete cross section that resists the forces at the time. Recall that the long-term losses
were computed in two parts: f pLTid ,the long-term loss between transfer and deck placement, and f pLTdf, the
long-term losses from deck placement to final time. For each of these changes in stress, the corresponding forces
are computed. The changes in concrete stress are then computed by applying these forces to the appropriate
cross section. For the loss between transfer and deck placement, the resisting cross section is the gross precast
section. For the loss between deck placement and final time, the resisting cross section is the gross composite
section.
Change in prestress force due to long-term losses:
From initial to deck placement:

ΔfpLTid  23.003 ksi

T
ΔPdf   ΔfpLTdf  Aps ΔPdf  (  15.7  15.7  15.7 )  kip

To compute the changes in concrete stress, these forces are applied to their respective resisting cross sections,
and the resulting stresses are summed.

PSBeam Verification Problem 9
Description: Design of an interior girder of a composite single-span bridge. The girder is a spliced BT-95 bulb tee
girder consisting of 3 segments with closure pours. Girder segments are pretensioned with a straight
strand pattern for handling and hauling. At the bridge site, the girder segments are aligned,
post-tensioning ducts are connected, closure joint steel is tied in, and the closure pours are made.
After the required closure pour concrete strength is achieved, the tendons are stressed. The girders are
are then erected into their final positions on the bridge.

Note that the parameter 'A c' is specifically

defined in LRFD as the area of concrete on the
flexural tension side of the member as shown in
Figure 3 (LRFD Article 5.8.3.4.2 and LRFD Fig.
5.8.3.4.2-3). Ac is used in the shear
calculations.

At Stressing of PT Tendons
Check Points

After the closure pours have been made and the PT tendons stressed, the girder is now in its final form and ready
to be erected onto the bridge. Stresses at this stage need to be assessed since only prestress and girder
self-weight are acting on the girder. There are two points of interest with regard to assessing stresses: the end of
the girder and the midpoint of the girder.

Due to the Design Truck:

PSBeam uses a sophisticated, highly flexible and accurate axle-placement algorithm. However, for
convenience in checking, a closed-form solution for the maximum moment at any point along a
simply-supported beam due to the LRFD design truck is given below. There are two formulae, one
which is valid for the region between the support and the L/3 point of the beam, and the other which is
valid between L/3 and midspan. These two formulae correspond to different orientations of the truck
(i.e., when it faces one way or the other).

Since the profile of each tendon is a parabolic arc, it is assumed that the tendon is in full contact with the duct over the
full length of the girder. Accordingly, Z must be added to the ordinate of the c.g. of the tendon along its entire path. Note
that nominally straight tendons do not require a Z-factor correction.

9.6 Prestress Losses
There are three stages in the life of the girder at which stresses must be assessed, and, therefore,
when prestress losses must be computed:
Stage 1: At the initial fabrication of the girder segments at the prestress plant when the pretensioning strands
have been released. Girders segments have been pretensioned for handling and shipping.
Stage 2: At the bridge site, when the girder segments have been aligned, PT ducts connected, reinforcing
steel tied into the closure pour spaces, and closure pours have made and cured, and PT tendons
stressed. Immediately after the PT tendons have been stressed, a critical state of stress occurs.
Stage 3: At the end of the service life of the bridge. Long-term, time-dependent losses have effectively
reached their limiting values at this stage. Total prestress loss is at a maximum now.

Stage 1: At Release of Pretensioning Force

At the time of release of the pretensioning force, two components of prestress loss are significant: relaxation of the
prestressing steel and elastic shortening.

Steel relaxation loss occurs when the strands are tensioned in the prestress bed and anchored at the abutments, at
which point the steel gradually begins to relax as a function of time. By the time the strands are detensioned a small but
measurable loss due to steel relaxation has occurred.

Elastic shortening is the loss of prestress that results when the strands are detensioned and the girder shortens in
length due to the applied prestress. Self-weight of the girder also affects elastic shortening loss.

Stage 2a: Just Prior to Stressing of PT Tendons

Time-dependent losses (concrete creep, concrete shrinkage, and steel relaxation) occur at a decreasing rate with
respect to time. At the time the segments are connected, but just prior to when the post-tensioning force is applied,
a significant portion of the time-dependent losses will have taken place. These are estimated by computing the
long-term value of each time-dependent loss component and multiplying each by the time factors given in the LRFD
Specifications. The "long-term" loss values are computed assuming the girder remains in a non-composite state.
Later, when the actual long-term losses are computed, the true composite state will be factored into the analysis.

Shrinkage Loss in Pretensioned Strands

Note: Evaluation has been disabled for this equation (as indicated by the small
ΔfpSR  ( 17  0.150 H )  ksi black box) to enable it to be shown without first evaluating its parameters.

segment since the pretensioning strands were released. Therefore, f cdp is zero.

Stage 2b: At Stressing of PT Ten do ns

Once the girder has been assembled and the PT tendons stressed, the self-weight moment at midspan of
the overall girder is substantially greater than the self-weight moment when the segment was detensioned.
Additionally, the stress in the pretensioned strands is affected by the post-tensioning tendons. As the PT
tendons are jacked, the girder shortens, which reduces the stress in the pretensioned strands.

Figure 11: Sketch of assembled girder. The forces from the post-tensioning tendons acting on entire girder and
pretensioning forces acting on center segment are shown (pretension forces acting on end segments not shown).

Before the elastic shortening due to the post-tensioning can be computed, the losses in the post-tensioning
tendons due to friction and anchor set must first be computed.

Friction Loss in PT Tendons

Loss of prestress due to friction between the tendon and duct are estimated using:

ΔfpF  fpj 1  e

 ( K x μ α)
 (LRFD 5.9.5.2.2b-1)

where:
K = Wobble friction coefficient (per ft of tendon).
 = Total angle change or prestressing path from jacking end to the point under investigation.
 = Coefficient of friction.
x = Length of prestressing tendon from the jacking end (ft).

Anchor Set Loss in PT Tendons

After the post-tensioning operation is complete, the tendons must be anchored. When a tendon seats in
its anchorage, it pulls into the seat and a portion of the prestress is lost, depending upon the distance
each strand moves to anchor itself in its strand chuck. The stress in the tendon is reduced as a function
of distance from the anchorage at a rate that depends on friction losses. Knowing the rate of friction loss,
the length over which the anchor set loss extends along the tendon path (for simplicity, assumed to be
along the girder length) is computed as follows:

Aset Ep
XA 

Elastic Shortening Loss in Pretensioned Strands

At this stage, the pretensioning strands, self-weight of the overall girder (all 3 segments), and post-tensioning
tendons exert force on the girder. Note that the girder self-weight moment acting on the center segment is much
higher now since the segment is part of the overall girder with a much longer span length. The elastic shortening
loss in the pretensioned strands at this stage is best calculated using LRFD Eq. 5.9.5.2.3a-1. The net stress in
the concrete due to pretensioning, post-tensioning, and overall girder weight is computed at the level of the c.g.
of the pretensioning strands. This stress is then converted into the change in pretensioned strand stress using
the modular ratio.

Creep in Pretensioned Strands:

There is an interaction between the pretension losses and the post-tension losses. As mentioned
earlier, application of the post-tension force causes an increase in stress at the level of the
pretensioned strands. This additional stress causes higher creep losses. To estimate the
additional creep loss due to post-tensioning, Castrodale (2004) recommends that an additional
term be added to the long-term creep equation:

9.11 Longitudinal Reinforcement Check
LRFD requires that the longitudinal steel be checked at all locations along the girder. This requirement is made to
ensure that the longitudinal reinforcement is sufficient to develop the required tension tie, which is required for
equilibrium. Equation 5.8.3.5-1 is the general equation, applicable at all sections. However, for the special case
of the inside edge of bearing at simple-end supports, the longitudinal reinforcement must be able to resist a tensile
force of (Vu / - 0.5Vs - Vp )cot(). Note that when pretensioned strands are used to develop this force, only a
portion of the full prestress force may be available near the support due to partial transfer. Additionally, only those
strands on the flexural tension side of the member contribute to the tension tie force.

Required Tension Tie Force

If only the minimum amount of transverse reinforcement that is required by design is provided, the required
tension tie force is:

 Vu 
FL_reqd    0.5  Vs  Vp  cot( θ) FL_reqd  881.4 kip Eq. 5.8.3.5-2
 ϕv 
However, a greater amount of stirrup reinforcement is typically provided than is required, which increases the
actual Vs. Note that by Eq. 5.8.3.5-2, increasing Vs decreases the required tension tie force. Hence, it is helpful
to use the computed of Vs that results from the actual transverse reinforcement detailed in the design. In this
case, the required tension tie force is:
Assume 2 legs of No. 4 bars at 12" on center (amount of steel at the critical section for shear):

 Provided Tension Tie Force
The longitudinal reinforcement that contributes to the tension tie are strands and PT tendons that are on the
flexural tension side of the girder. Near the ends of the girder, the strands are typically only partially effective.
C5.8.3.5 of the 2006 Interim Revisions permits the strand stress in regions of partial development to be estimated
using a bilinear variation, as shown in Fig. 13.

Figure 13: Variation in strand stress in relation to distance from girder end.
The stress in the pretensioned strands at a given section depends on the location of the section with respect to the
end of the girder. If the section is between the end of the girder and Lt (see Fig. 5), a linear interpolation is
performed using a stress variation of 0.0 at the end of the girder to f pe at a distance of Lt from the end of the girder.
If the section is to the right of Lt but to the left of Ld , then the stress is interpolated between f pe and fps. If the
section is to the right of Ld , then the stress is assumed to be a constant value of f ps.
At the face of bearing, the stress in the effective strands is:

9.12 Interface Shear Design

The ability to transfer shear across the interface between the top of the precast beam and the cast-in-place deck must
be checked. This check falls under the interface shear or shear friction section of LRFD (5.8.4). Recall that under the
Standard Specs, this check falls under the horizontal shear section.

Little guidance is offered by the LRFD Specs on how to compute the applied shear stress at the strength limit state.
Two procedures are presented here for comparison. One treats the problem as a linear elastic analysis using the
VQ/Ib approach, and the other uses the approach recommended by the PCI Bridge Design Manual, which is a strength
limit state approach. Both approaches assume that all loads generate stress across the interface.
