IDAHO TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT BRIDGE DESIGN LRFD MANUAL

JULY 2009

Article 0.0 Page 1 of 1 4/2008 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Idaho Transportation Department LRFD Bridge Design Manual is intended to supplement and provide interpretation of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications, As well as provide guidance for designers, checkers, and consultants. The LRFD Bridge Design Manual provides guidelines and standard details that are workable, serviceable, and reasonably economical. In addition, these guidelines and details have been approved by FHWA for general use. Any departure or deviation from these guidelines and standard details in this manual will require prior approval, and may result in delay caused by obtaining approval. It will continue to be the responsibility of the designers to exercise their best engineering judgment when designing and ensure the guidelines and details provided in the LRFD Bridge Design Manual are applied properly. All new bridges that carry traffic on Interstate Highways and Ramps or US and State Highways shall be designed using the AASHTO LRFD Specifications and the guidelines in this manual unless otherwise approved by the Bridge Engineer. All rehabilitation, widening and modification to existing structures may use the AASHTO Standard Specification of Highway Bridges-17th Edition or the AASHTO LRFD specification if it is economically feasible. Commentary FHWA Policy Memorandum issued June 28, 2000, requires all new bridges on which States initiate preliminary engineering after October 1, 2007, shall be designed by the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification. All new culverts, retaining walls and other standard structures on which States initiate preliminary engineering after October 1, 2010, shall be designed by LRFD. The term preliminary engineering shall be interpreted as the initiation of the studies or design activities related to identification of the type, size, and/or location of bridges. The term initiate means the date when Federal-Aid funds are obligated for preliminary engineering. In cases where Federal-Aid funds are not used in preliminary engineering, but are used in construction or other phases of the project, the term initiate means the date when the State obligates or expends their own funds for preliminary engineering. Superstructure, substructure, and foundation bridge elements shall be designed by LRFD. Shelved bridge projects designed and packaged for construction prior to October 1, 2007, are not subject to the LRFD Policy Memorandum, unless a redesign is required by the State after October 1, 2007. The term new Bridges shall be interpreted to include both new and total replacement bridges. The Policy applies to all States-initiated federal-Aid funded projects, not just those funded with Highway Bridge Program funds, including on system and off-system projects.

Article 0.2 Page 1 of 1 11/2004 CONSULTANT PROJECT REVIEW PROCEDURE

Consultants are used on state bridge projects when the workload exceeds the capacity of the Bridge Section or when special expertise is required. Counties and cities also frequently use Consultants to design bridges for LPA projects with Federal Aid funds under LHTAC project management. A Bridge Section Engineer will be assigned when a new bridge design project is provided to the consultant. The reviewing engineer should have experience in the design of structures similar to the one to be reviewed. The Review Engineer will then become the contact for technical questions raised by the consultant throughout the design phase. This communication allows early identification of critical design areas and reduces the chances of major revisions. The Review Engineer will not generally perform an exhaustive check on the design. All details, plans, and related work will be reviewed to ensure conformance with the criteria that follows. The consultant shall apply his own seal and signature to the plans, and thereby assumes full responsibility for their correctness and general conformance with good engineering practice. The following indicates the degree and type of checking to be performed by the Bridge Section: Structure Concept Study Review All concept studies will be thoroughly reviewed to ensure adequate evaluation of: Structure types that are compatible to the site conditions Preliminary cost estimates Advantages/disadvantages of each structure type Economy, feasibility, and constructibility Structure types recommended for additional study or final design A review of the bridge layouts will be made to ensure that span lengths, clearances, and all site conditions are adequately addressed. Final Situation and Layout Plans should be thoroughly checked by using the checklist located in Chapter 17 of the Bridge Design Manual (BDM). Conformance of grades, alignments, and other data between roadway and bridge plans should be checked. The hydraulic and foundation criteria shown on the plans shall conform to the approved ITD-210 hydraulic report and approved Phase 4 foundation report. Final Design Review Plans should be reviewed for completeness, constructibility, compliance with current ITD standards, and good engineering practices. A review of major structural elements should be performed. However, no stress analysis is generally required unless the detail appears questionable. Pay items and Special Provisions should be reviewed for conformance with the Standard Specifications. Quantity calculations and rebar schedules are generally not checked in detail. Design calculations shall be on 8.5"x11" paper with a proper heading and placed a binder with an index. The signature, date and Idaho seal of a registered engineer of the consulting firm shall be on a title sheet. Final Plan Review Plans will be checked for all changes required by the Final Design Review. The signature, date and Idaho seal of a registered engineer of the consulting firm shall be on each drawing. Any new or significantly modified Special Provisions shall be added to the X:drive SPB folder.

Article 0.4 Page 1 of 3 7/2009 IN-HOUSE DESIGN & CHECKING PROCEDURES

The primary aim in both designing and checking is to produce a structure that will safely carry the anticipated loads. The design team, consisting of the designers, checkers, and structural detailers, is responsible for developing a set of practical, clear, and concise design notes, plans, and specifications by the assigned due date with the allotted manpower. The BDM provides standard details that are workable, serviceable, and reasonably economical. In addition, these details have been approved by FHWA for general use. Departure from these standards may result in delays caused by obtaining approval. Design Calculations The design calculations shall be prepared on 8x11 sheets. The cover sheet for the final design notes of record shall be stamped by the designer & checker, and shall be indexed with numbered pages. The design calculations of record and check calculations shall be microfilmed and returned to the designer/checker. A sample form for stamping the design calculations is shown on page A0.1. An electronic copy is available on the X:drive in the Bridge Design Aids folder. Designer The designers primary responsibilities include: Design concept and layout Structural design Preparing complete and legible calculations Producing a complete set of plans and specifications Resolving construction problems Load rating new/replacement bridges using VIRTIS in accordance with the latest version of the AASHTO Manual for Condition Evaluation and Load and Resistance Factor Rating (LRFR) of Highway Bridges. The designer should advise and get concurrence from the Group Leader whenever deviating from approved office standards and practices. The initial Virtis load rating may be based upon the details shown in the contract plans for the PS&E submittal. The final load rating shall reflect the changes made during construction (fabrication change, field adjustment, contractor change, etc.). The designer should inform the Group Leader of any areas of the design that should receive special attention during checking and review. The designers responsibilities also include the following project planning activities: Preparing a Design Time Estimate CPM Chart Identifying tasks and planning order of work Preparing design criteria for inclusion in the front of the design calculations Determining the number and titles of plan sheets Coordinating plan sheet detailing Coordinating computation of quantities Preparing the Cost Estimate, Construction Schedule CPM Chart, and Special Provisions Any new or significantly modified Special Provisions shall be added to the X:drive SPB folder. Design Checker The primary purpose of a design check is to insure that the designer has not, through an error in mathematics, misunderstanding of the specifications, or other cause, produced an unsafe design. The design checkers primary responsibilities include: Verifying the design theory and correct interpretation of the design code Accuracy and completeness of the design calculations to confirm the structural adequacy of the components Independent check of major controlling geometry

Article 0.4 Page 2 of 3 7/2009

The design calculations should not be checked until the Situation Layout check is completed and any differences are resolved with the designer. If revisions are necessary, the designer should revise the design and details before the design checker proceeds. The design checker may perform an independent analysis by using a methodology different from the original design. The check notes shall be stamped and shall be returned to the designer who will coordinate changes. For designs checked by an experienced engineer, the original calculation sheets may be initialed by the checker. For special designs or those done by inexperienced designers, the Group Leader may require a more complete design check by the design checker. Plan Checker The primary purpose of a plan check is to insure plans are constructible, consistent, clear, and complete. The checkers responsibilities should include, but not be limited to, the following items: Situation and Layout Make a complete check of the geometric layout Check the Typical Section for conformance to the roadway width and bridge railing curb-curb requirements Check the girder spacing and type, and slab thickness for conformance to the Typical Section and office standards Major Component Details Verify that the details are in agreement with the approved design calculations Structural Detailer The structural detailers primary responsibilities include: Preparing neat, correct, and easy to follow plan sheets conforming to current detailing standards Drawing details to scale Determining dimensions and elevations as required by the designer/checker Calculating quantities as directed Group Leader The Group Leader should work closely with the designer, design checker, and structural detailer during the design and plan preparation phases to help avoid major changes late in the design process. The Group Leaders primary responsibilities include: Compatibility of design and details within the project Determining the level of checking required by considering the complexity of the structure and the skill of the designer Approving the design criteria prepared by the designer before start of design Monitoring the design and detailing process and providing guidance and assistance as required Reviewing the design calculations for completeness and for agreement with office criteria and practices Reviewing the plans for completeness, constructibility, and agreement with office criteria and practices Reviewing the PS&E data for completeness and for agreement with office criteria and practices Bridge Engineer The Bridge Engineer provides leadership and support to assure bridge design quality for structural designs. The Bridge Engineers primary responsibilities include: Reviewing and approving the Situation Layout to assure that the most cost-effective and appropriate structure type is selected for a particular bridge site. Facilitating resolution of major project design issues.

Article 0.5 Page 1 of 2 11/2004 MAJOR OR UNUSUAL BRIDGES

Many major or unusual structures are designed to utilize features that are at the edge of todays state-of-the-art or unique fracture critical details that often require special consideration during construction, inspection, and maintenance. The following FHWA policy is to be followed in the preparation of design documents for major or unusual bridges to help avoid construction problems and provide guidelines for on-going maintenance: FHWA Memorandum November 13, 1998 Project Oversight Unusual Bridges and Structures Unusual bridges are those that have any of the following: Difficult or unique foundation problems New or complex designs with unique operational or design features Bridges with exceptionally long spans Bridges being designed with procedures that depart from currently recognized acceptable practices Examples of unusual bridges include: Cable-stayed Suspension Arch Segmental Concrete Movable Truss Examples of bridge types that deviate from AASHTO bridge design standards or AASHTO guide specifications for highway bridges include: Major bridges using LRFD design specifications Bridges requiring abnormal dynamic analysis for seismic design Bridges using a three-dimensional computer analysis Bridges with spans exceeding 500 feet Bridges with major supporting elements of ultra high strength concrete or steel A manual for the inspection and maintenance of the structure shall be prepared during the design process that includes explicit guidelines and instructions. The lead designer, whether the ITD Bridge Section or a Consultant does the design, will be responsible for the preparation of the inspection and maintenance manual. The manual will identify critical areas to be inspected and recommend maintenance procedures. The following areas will be addressed as well as any other areas requiring special attention: Deck Girders Expansion Joints Bearing Units Piers or Columns Abutments Connections Fracture Critical Members (to be marked on the drawings) Member cracking or deformation Copies of the manual shall be sent to the District, Bridge Maintenance and Bridge Section.

Article 0.7 Page 1 of 2 4/2008 TYPE, SIZE & LOCATION REPORT for CONSULTANT PROJECTS
GENERAL The purpose of the TS&L Report is to provide enough background information so that reviewers can effectively evaluate the proposed final design and the concepts it is based on. The report should describe the project, the proposed structure, and give reasons why the bridge type, size, and location were selected. The report should concisely summarize the information in 2-3 pages. A separate TS&L Report shall be prepared for each structure except minor projects such as deck joint rehabilitations or rail retrofits. The intent of the TS&L Report is the collection of pertinent data required for the design of the structure, in addition to documentation of design decisions. Pertinent data shall be extracted from other discipline reports and summarized in this Report for use by the structure designers. Even though the Hydraulics Report or Foundation Report may not be available at the time the TS&L Report is prepared, always include comments about assumptions made in consultation with the Hydraulics or Foundation Engineer. The TS&L Report will include the following sections, where applicable. Not all sections will apply to all structures. REPORT OUTLINE General Background Project description Structure location (may include roadway plan & profile and aerial photography) Right-of-way restrictions Permits and restrictions Utility conflicts or restrictions Railroad clearances or restrictions Design Specifications Environmental Wetlands Historical Sites Contaminated areas Recreation areas Threatened Species areas Environmental commitments listed in the environmental docu,emtation Design Concepts Rationale for: Building new bridge versus widening existing one Use of bridge versus culvert Foundation support assumptions Assumed pile or bearing capacity loads Assumed lateral soil pressure against abutment Seismic load assumptions Geometry and Layout Roadway width Traffic volumes Profile grade Horizontal alignment Design exceptions Sidewalks Railing Hydraulics Waterway opening High water elevation Clearance Bank protection Floodway information Deck drains

Article 0.9 Page 1 of 1 7/2009 CONSULTANT QUALITY ASSURANCE/QUALITY CONTROL

The purpose of the QA/QC procedure is to improve the quality of the structural designs and plans. ITD Bridge Design expects consultants to fully check their own work. In general, review of designs and checking of plans, calculations, specifications, and estimates should be similar to that performed by the Bridge Section for their own work. Refer to ITD Bridge LRFD Manual Article 0.4. Quality Assurance consists of the steps needed to verify quality. This should be a defined set of procedures, with measurable and verifiable actions. Quality Control consists of the act of reviewing and checking the design, the calculations, and the plans. Quality control should be thorough, appropriate to the project, and documented. Review consists of verifying general conformance of the design with project objectives. This includes general features of design, constructability, and presentation of the design. Checking consists of detailed verification of design and details. This includes checking of the design calculations, the plans, the quantities, and the specifications.

Quality Control
Preliminary Design: Review major features of the project; structure type, constructability, environmental mitigation, cost. Check of the girder capacity, clearances, geometry. Final Design: Review structure type and major features to verify that changes in the overall project have not invalidated previous project decisions; presentation and thoroughness of the plans. Check of design calculations, details of the design, and plans. Design Check A complete check of the structural design calculations shall be carried out by a Professional Engineer other than the Professional Engineer responsible for the design. This design check shall be carried out by another Consultant when the design Consultant does not have adequate in-house capabilities to provide this check. The design check notes shall be stamped and submitted with the original design calculations.

1.2 DEFINITIONS
DESIGNATION OF CULVERTS AND BRIDGES ON DRAWINGS To determine whether a structure should be designated as a Culvert or a Bridge, the structure shall be measured along the centerline of roadway from the inside face of wall or abutment. If the measured length is 20 feet or less it shall be designated a culvert, if greater than 20 feet it shall be designated a bridge. In drawings that are designated as "Culverts" the length shown in the title block shall be the clear span measured perpendicular to the walls. In drawings that are designated as "Bridges" the length shown in the title block shall be the out to out distance of the abutments or walls measured along the centerline of roadway.

Commentary
The definition of bridge is in accordance with the Federal-Aid Policy Guide Title 23 CFR Section 650.403.

Article 2.3.3 Page 1 of 2 4/2008 2.3.3 CLEARANCES

BRIDGES/CULVERTS OVER WATERWAYS OTHER THAN CANALS For all closed bottom pipes with a clear span less than 12, the ratio of the headwater to diameter during Q25 flow should be equal to or less than 1.25. In addition, the Q100 flow must pass through the pipe without overtopping the roadway. For all closed bottom rectangular structures with a clear span less than 12, the ratio of the headwater to height during Q50 flow should be equal to or less than 1.25. In addition, the Q100 flow must pass through the structure without overtopping the roadway. All open bottom structures and all bridges/culverts with spans 12 and greater and less than 20 shall have a minimum 1 of clearance above Q50 flow. In addition, the Q100 flow must pass through the structure without overtopping the roadway. All bridges/culverts with a clear span of 20 or greater shall have a minimum 2 clearance above Q50 flow. In addition, the Q100 flow must pass beneath the lowest chord of the structure. BRIDGES/CULVERTS OVER CANALS All structures over canals shall have a minimum of 1 clearance above the design flow and the maximum flow must pass beneath the lowest chord of the structure.

2.3.3.1 NAVIGATIONAL
Bridges over navigable waters shall meet the vertical clearances required by the Coast Guard.

2.3.3.2 HIGHWAY VERTICAL

All new bridges are to be designed for 17'-0" of vertical clearance. This clearance may be reduced with prior approval from the Roadway Design Engineer, Maintenance Engineer, and Bridge Engineer, but is not to be less than 16'-0". During construction, as much vertical clearance as possible is desirable, with 14'-9" being the minimum desirable. The minimum legal vertical clearance is 14'-0". Check with the Permits Unit in Headquarters for restrictions for each particular site.

2.3.3.3 HIGHWAY HORIZONTAL

The structure width is generally controlled by the geometry of the approaching roadway. The required roadway widths are established in the Roadway Design Manual, Appendix C. Refer to sketches on page A2.6. A. Bridges The curb-curb width of new bridges shall be as follows: No Sidewalk Concrete Parapet: roadway width + 3'-4" Curb Mount Metal Rail: roadway width + 4'-7" Sidewalk Raised Sidewalk: roadway width At-grade Sidewalk: roadway width + 3'-4" B. Culverts The curb-curb width of new culverts shall be as follows: Clear Zone Provided No Guardrail: roadway width + clear zone Clear Zone Not Provided W-Beam/Thrie Beam: roadway width + 10'-0" Concrete Porta-rail: roadway width + 10'-8" Concrete Parapet: roadway width + 3'-4" C. Construction Horizontal clearances should be verified with the District Design Engineer, District Traffic Engineer, and the Bridge Engineer.

Article 2.3.3 Page 2 of 2 4/2008

2.3.3.4 RAILROAD OVERPASS

For bridges carrying the railroad over the highway, the vertical clearances for highway crossings shall apply. For bridges carrying highways over the railroad, the minimum vertical clearance shall be 23-4 from the top of rail at a point directly over the centerline of track. For exceptions, e.g. widening of existing structures, the railroad and PUC approvals should be obtained prior to final layout. The UPRR and BNRR/SANTA FE standards on page A2.3 have not been approved by FHWA and are considered guidelines only. The dimensions shown as minimums on the standards should be considered as maximums for the purpose of determining span lengths. Exceptions to the standards that will reduce the bridge cost should be considered in the preliminary design stage of the project. Any exceptions to the standards must be approved by the railroad Chief Engineer and approval should be obtained prior to the final layout. Some of the items where exceptions should be considered on a project-by-project basis are: Ditch width Location of the railroad pole line to eliminate or reduce the distance between the pier and the ditch slope. Elimination of splash boards Use of 1:1 slopes on slope paving

Article 2.5.2.1.1 Sheet 1 of 3 11/2004 2.5.2.1.1 Materials

WEATHERING STEEL SELECTION CRITERIA The purpose of the office standard is to provide guidelines to the engineer for the proper application of uncoated weathering steels and to make recommendations for maintenance to ensure continued performance of the steel. This criteria is taken from the FHWA Technical Advisory "Uncoated Weathering Steel in Structures", T5140.22, dated October 3, 1989. DESIGN Selection Criteria 1. Environmental considerations where weathering steel may not be used. High rainfall, high humidity or persistent fog. Industrial areas where chemical fumes may drift onto the structure. If the sulfur trioxide level is greater than 2.1 mg/100 cm2/day average, weathering steel shall not be used. This would apply near fertilizer plants, such as the FMC Plant in Pocatello, Potlatch Plant in Lewiston, etc. 2. Geometrics and location Grade Separations - The so-called "tunnel effect" is produced by the combination of narrow depressed roadway sections between vertical retaining walls, narrow shoulders, bridges with minimum vertical clearances and deep abutments adjacent to the shoulders as are found at many urban/suburban grade separations. These roadway/bridge geometrics combine to prevent roadway spray from being dissipated by air currents and can result in excessive salt in the spray being deposited on the bridge steel. Figure 1 shown below is representative of situations where use of uncoated weathering steel should be avoided where winter deicing salt use is significant. NOTE: There is no evidence of salt spray causing excessive corrosion in cases of narrow bridges with wing walls parallel to the over crossing road.

Figure 1 DEPRESSED ROADWAY TUNNEL EFFECT Low Level Water Crossings - Sufficient clearance over bodies of water must be maintained so that spray or condensation or water vapor does not result in prolonged periods of wetness of the steel. Clearance to bottom flange of at least 10 feet over sheltered, stagnant water and at least 8 feet over running water is recommended. Method of Selection The Bridge Engineer, in cooperation with the Group Leaders, will make the selection. The selection will be based on stress, economics, environmental considerations, and aesthetics. The selection will be made at the preliminary design stage.

Design Details When weathering steel is used, the following design details should be utilized. 1. Controlling Roadway Drainage This is the first line of defense against localized corrosion by eliminating the exposure of the steel to contact with drainage from the roadway above, especially in areas where roadway salts are used. a. Joints: To the extent possible, bridge joints should be eliminated. Virtually every bridge with joints has problems (corrosion, rideability, maintenance) attributable to the joint. Extensive experience has shown that obtaining a permanent water-tight bridge joint is an elusive goal. Therefore, when joints are necessary, the assumption should be that the joints will leak and that drainage will contact the steel. Therefore, all steel within a minimum distance of 1 1/2 times the depth of the girder from the joint should be coated. In addition, Finger Joints shall not be used with weathering steel bridges unless given prior approval of the Bridge Engineer. Drip bars on the top and bottom of the lower flanges can be effective in intercepting drainage and preventing it from running long distances along the flange and causing corrosion of the uncoated steel. However, welding of any attachment to the tension flange should be considered only after a thorough analysis of the impact of the attachment on fatigue life of the member. b. Drains The spacing between drainage scuppers should be maximized in accordance with established hydrologic and hydraulic design. The FHWA Publication HEC 21, "Bridge Deck Drainage Guidelines, provides sound recommendations in this regard. Refer to Bridge Design Manual Article 2.6.6 for a design procedure. As scupper spacing increases, the volume of water required to pass through each scupper increases, thus creating velocities high enough to flush outlets clogged by deposits from low volume rainfalls. Scupper downspouts should be designed and placed such that drainage will not contact the steel surface. However, details used to connect scuppers to drain pipes have often created more problems than they have prevented. Do not use flat runs of piping and elbows which clog or connections that separate. Careful detailing is critical. Scupper drain pipes should not be routed through closed box sections where leakage inside of the box is possible, and may go undetected for long periods of time. 2. Other Features a. Water Traps All details must be designed to provide natural drainage. Small copes in corners of plates or small drain holes are easily plugged, and should not be relied on to provide drainage. b. Box Sections Box sections that are too small to provide for adequate visual inspection and access for maintenance personnel should be painted and weep holes to allow proper drainage and circulation of air should be provided. Larger boxes should be detailed to minimize the entrance of water, debris and dirt that can promote corrosion. They must also provide for natural drainage of water that may enter and adequate access for inspection, cleaning and maintenance when necessary. Precautions should include: 1. Locked covers or screens over access holes to prevent the entry of animals and birds or unauthorized personnel. Covers over manholes should be on hinges and provided with a lock to allow easy access by inspection personnel. 2. Provision of positive drainage and adequate ventilation to minimize the wetting of the interior surfaces from water or condensation. 3. Painting of the inside of the box members should be considered. Weep holes should also be provided to allow for proper drainage and air circulation. c. Concrete Surfaces After passing over uncoated weathering steel, drainage leaves dark, non-uniform and often unsightly stains on concrete surfaces. This problem can be mitigated, if desired, by using one or more of the following approaches: Wrapping the piers and abutments during construction to minimize staining while the steel is open to rainfall. Allowing/requiring the contractor to remove staining with a commercial solvent after completion of construction.

Article 2.5.2.1.1 Sheet 3 of 3 11/2004

d. Applying epoxy or some other material to coat and/or seal the concrete surfaces against staining. Overlapping surfaces If water is allowed to flow over overlapping joints, capillary action can draw the water into the joint and cause "rust-pack" to form. Therefore, the contact surfaces of overlapping joints must be protected from intrusion of rainfall and runoff. This applies to non-slip-critical bolted joints as well as to overlapped joints such as those in tapered high mast lighting poles. The faying surfaces should be painted or sealed to prevent the capillary penetration. In slip-critical bolted splices, "rust-pack" should not occur when the bolts are spaced as per AASHTO specifications. Fascia Girders There is no evidence that coating the entire fascia girder will add to the service life of an otherwise uncoated bridge. Therefore do not paint exterior girder except in the area of expansion joints.

e.

MAINTENANCE Effective inspection and maintenance programs are essential to ensure that all bridges reach their intended service life. This is especially true in the case of uncoated weathering steel bridges. The following maintenance actions should be done routinely: Inspection Implement inspection procedures that recognize the unique nature of uncoated weathering steel and the conditions resulting from excessive corrosion damage. Develop inspection guidelines that highlight the structural features to be inspected and also illustrate the difference between the desired oxide coating and excessive rust scaling. Measurements of the oxide coating thickness should be taken during each bridge inspection and recorded in the bridge inspection reports. Controlling Roadway Drainage To the extent feasible the following should be done: Divert approach roadway drainage away from the bridge structure. Clean troughs of open (finger) joints and reseal "watertight" deck joints. Maintain deck drainage systems (scuppers, troughs, etc.) in order to divert deck drainage away from the superstructure steel and substructure units. Periodically clean and repaint all steel within a minimum distance of 1 1/2 times the depth of the girder from bridge joints. Other Maintenance Remove dirt, debris and other deposits that hold moisture and maintain a wet surface condition on the steel. In some situations, hosing down a bridge to remove debris and contaminants may be practical and effective. Some agencies have a regularly scheduled program to hose down their bridges. Maintain screens over access holes in box sections to prevent entrance by animals and birds. Remove growth of nearby vegetation that prevents the natural drying of surfaces wet by rain, spray or other sources of moisture.

Article 2.5.2.3 Page 1 of 1 9/2004 2.5.2.3 MAINTAINABILITY Bearing Replacement

New bridges with replaceable bearings should have provisions shown on the plans for jacking the superstructure. Refer to Article 3.4.3 for jacking forces. The minimum space for the jacks should be 10 in height and 11 in diameter. An additional jacking stiffener in front of the bearings may be required on steel girder bridges. Concrete girder bridges should provide room to either jack on the girder in front of the bearings or jack on the diaphragm beside the bearings.

Article 2.5.2.4 Page 1 of 1 5/2002 2.5.2.4 RIDEABILITY Approach Slabs

Application Approach slabs shall be used when the roadway approaches are concrete pavement or an integral abutment is used. When the approaches are asphalt pavement and the abutment is not an integral type, the designer shall determine the need for an approach slab with the concurrence of the Group Leader. If the approach slab is not constructed when the bridge is built then it will probably never be required. For this reason, do not provide a paving notch in the abutment or the dowel bars for an approach slab if one is not required for the original design. Design Notes The 12 thickness assumes a 10 unsupported span. This meets the requirements of AASHTO Article 2.5.2.6.3 for simple spans. Dead loads include the weight of the approach slab, concrete parapets, and 2 future wearing surface. The design is based upon Strength 1 and Service 1. Standard Drawing Notes The Standard Drawing shall be modified to meet the details for each specific project. Only the details that apply should be shown. If any of the design parameters are exceeded, the design should be checked.

Article 2.5.2.5 Page 1 of 3 6/2006 2.5.2.5 UTILITIES

UTILITIES INSTALLED WITH NEW CONSTRUCTION General Utility facilities should be allowed on structures in accordance with the ITD Utility Accommodations Policy. If utilities are allowed on the structure, the bridge designer shall determine the method of attachment and the location. Bridge plans shall include all hardware specifications and details for the utilities installed during original construction. All materials and workmanship shall be in accordance with the current edition of the Idaho Transportation Department Standard Specifications for Highway Construction. Water, sewer, and gas lines shall only be installed during original construction. Provisions for future telephone, power, and cable utility attachments shall include installation of sleeves from the roadway shoulder through the abutment backwall, intermediate diaphragms, and pier diaphragms. Threaded inserts shall also be provided in the bottom of the deck slab for future utility hangars. Design Criteria All utilities and utility supports shall be designed according to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specification to resist Strength and Extreme Event Limits States. This includes and not limited to dead load, expansion, surge, and earthquake forces. Location Utilities should be located, if possible, such that a rupture or support failure will not result in damage to the bridge, the surrounding area, or be a hazard to traffic. The utility installation shall be located so as to minimize the effect on the appearance of the structure and shall not affect bridge maintenance or bridge inspection activities. For new construction, the utility should be installed between girders. For attachment to an existing bridge, the utilities may be installed on the cantilevered portion of the deck. Utilities shall not be attached above the bridge deck nor attached to the railings or posts. Utilities and supports must not extend below the bottom of the superstructure. When appurtenances such as air release valves are required, care should be taken to provide adequate space. Termination at Bridge Ends Utility conduit and encasements shall extend beyond the end of the bridge/approach slab and shall extend to the roadway shoulder using acceptable bends or radius sweeps. Conduits and encasements installed for future use shall have the ends capped. The details shall be shown on the bridge plans and coordinated through the Utilities Engineer. Expansion Joints The utilities shall be designed with a suitable expansion system as required to prevent longitudinal forces from being transferred to bridge members. Water mains generally remain a constant temperature and are anchored in the ground at the abutments. However, the bridge will move with temperature changes and seismic forces. Pipe support systems must be designed to allow for the bridge movements. For short bridges, this generally means the bridge will move and the utility will not since it is anchored at the abutments. For long bridges that require pipe expansion joints, design must carefully locate pipe expansion joints and the corresponding longitudinal load-carrying support. Electrical conduits that use PVC should have an expansion device for every 100 of pipe due to the higher coefficient of expansion. If more than two joints are specified, a cable or expansion limiting device is required to keep the ends from separating. Pipelines for Fluids and Gases The pipeline material shall be appropriate to handle the capacity and loads required, with due care taken to protect the structure and traffic. All pipelines carrying fluids and gases shall be encased the length of the structure in an acceptable encasement pipe and braced for lateral loading. The space between the carrying pipe and the encasement sleeve shall be effectively vented and drained beyond the structure at each end and at high points. Generally, a sleeve approximately 3 larger than the outside diameter of the encasement pipe shall be used to pass the utility through concrete diaphragms or abutments.

Article 2.5.2.5 Page 2 of 3 6/2006

Pipelines transporting fluids and gases shall provide shut-off valves, either manual or automatic, at or near each end of the structure to provide a means of control in case of an emergency. All pipe systems under pressure shall state the maximum operating and test pressure on the plans. When exposed steel utility lines and supports are attached to a painted structure, they shall be painted in accordance with ITD Standard Specifications and the final coat shall match the bridge color. Any painted surfaces damaged during construction shall be cleaned and painted as directed by the Engineer. Any paint splatters shall be removed from the bridge. Volatile Fluids The utility company shall make provisions to electrically insulate pipelines carrying volatiles from its support. Water and Sewer Lines Water and Sewer lines should be steel pipe. Transverse support or bracing shall be provided for all water lines to carry Strength and Extreme Event Lateral Loading. In box girders (closed cell), a rupture of a water line will generally flood a cell before emergency response can shut down the water main. This will be designed for an Extreme Event II load case, where the weight of water is a dead load (DC). Additional weep holes or open grating should be considered to offset this Extreme Event. Water or sewer lines to be placed lower than adjacent bridge footings shall be encased if failure can cause undermining of the footing. Telephone, Power, and Cable Conduit All conduits shall be rigid. Conduits shall be galvanized steel pipe, Schedule 40 (minimum) PVC pipe of a UL approved type, or an approved equal. All metal fittings shall be galvanized in accordance with AASHTO M-111 or M-232 (ASTM A123 or A-153 respectively). PVC pipe may be used with suitable consideration for deflection, placement of expansion fittings, and of freezing water within the conduits. Utility Supports Where such conduit is buried in concrete curbs or barriers or has continuous support, such support is considered to be adequate. Where hangers or brackets support conduit at intervals, the distance between supports shall be small enough to avoid excessive sag between supports. Utility supports shall be designed so that any loads imposed by the utility installation do not overstress the conduit, supports, bridge structure, or bridge members. Designs shall provide longitudinal and transverse support for loads from gravity, earthquakes, temperature, inertia, etc. It is especially important to provide transverse and longitudinal support for single rod and other similar inserts that cannot resist moment. Attachment of conduits or brackets to non-prestressed concrete members shall be with epoxy bond anchors. There should be a minimum of 3 edge distance to the centerline of bolt holes in concrete. Drilling into prestressed concrete members for utility attachments shall not be allowed. All welding must be approved and welding across main members will not be permitted. All steel in utility supports, including fastenings and anchorages, shall be galvanized in accordance with AASHTO M-111 or M-232 (ASTM A-123 or A-153 respectively). The following types of supports are generally used for various utilities. Selection of a particular support type should be based on the needs of the installation and the best economy. Concrete Embedment This is the best structural support condition and offers maximum protection to the utility. Its cost may be high for larger conduit and the conduit cannot be replaced. Pipe Hangers Utility lines should be suspended by means of cast-in-place anchors, whenever possible. This is the most common type of support for utilities to be hung under the bridge deck. This allows the use of standard cast-in-place inserts and is very

Article 2.5.2.5 Page 3 of 3 6/2006

flexible in terms of expansion requirements. Refer to Bridge LRFD Manual pages B2.4A and B2.4B for suggested details. To avoid complete failure of the utility hanger system by failure of one hanger for heavy pipes over traffic (10 water main or larger), the Extreme Limit State should be used assuming one hangar has failed. Vertical Anvil Insert, Figure 282 or similar inserts, will not provide resistance to longitudinal forces. Transverse supports must be provided by a second hanger extending from a girder or by a brace against the girder. Where PVC conduit is to be supported by hangers or pedestals at intervals, the distance between supports shall be small enough to avoid excessive sag of the conduit. Refer to Article A2.5 for recommended support spacing for PVC pipe. UTILITIES INSTALLED ON EXISTING BRIDGES General Requests to install utilities on existing structures should follow the procedures outlined in the ITD Guide for Utility Management. Utilities shall not be allowed to attach to a highway structures until approved by ITD. Attachment details should be shown on the existing bridge plan sheets that can be obtained from the ITD Bridge Section. Design for utilities attached to existing structures should follow the same requirement as utilities installed with new construction. Any existing utilities on the same side of the structure as the proposed utility should be shown on the plans. The utility company shall be responsible for calculating design stresses in the utility and design of the support system. All calculations shall be on 8x11 paper and stamped by an engineer licensed in Idaho. Plans shall be either 11x17 or 22x34 sheets and stamped by an engineer licensed in Idaho. Pipelines for Fluids and Gases Bridges are not designed to carry the extra weight of future pipelines for fluids and gases. Adding these pipelines to an existing bridge will normally produce an overstress in the members. Design calculations are required to verify that no overstress occurs in the members and the live load carrying capacity of the bridge is not reduced.

Structures shall be designed according to the provisions of this article.

Article 2.5.2.6.3 Page 1 of 1 5/2004 2.5.2.6.3 CRITERIA FOR SPAN -TO-DEPTH RATIOS
Flexural members of bridge structures shall be designed to have adequate stiffness to limit deflections or any deformations that may adversely affect the strength or serviceability of the structure at service load plus impact. The minimum span to depth ratios are recommended unless computation of deflection indicates that lesser depths may be used without adverse effects. The span length of members that are not built integrally with their supports shall be considered the clear span plus the depth of the member but need not exceed the distance between centers of supports. The span length of continuous members shall be considered at the faces of support. When fillets making an angle of 45 degrees or more with the axis of the member are built monolithic with the member and support, the face of support shall be considered at a section where the combined depth of the member and fillet is at least 1.5 times the thickness of the member.

Article 2.6.6 Page 1 of 1 11/2004 2.6.6 ROADWAY DRAINAGE

I. BASIC CONCEPTS In the design of bridge drainage facilities, the aim is to keep the traveled way free from hazardous flooding except infrequent, excessively heavy rainstorms. Roadway drainage inlets must be provided to remove water upstream of the structure. To remove the storm water from the bridge deck, the standard drain inlet shall be used. The deck is used to carry the storm water to these drain inlets. The drains are placed according to hydraulic principles and located next to the curbing. The collected water should be dropped over the median or slope paving. Flexible sealers are used at expansion joints to prevent undesirable leakage through the deck. As a minimum, place one Type I Deck Drain upstream (approximately 10 ft), of any expansion joint to reduce leakage onto the substructure. The intent is to remove the gutter flow ahead of the expansion joint except for larger storms that will infrequently splash over the drain and wet the expansion joint. The preferred drain is the Type 1. Use the type 2 drain when a larger opening is required by the design procedure. The Type 3 drain should only be used with voided slabs, box beams, and deck bulb tee type structures. For further reference, see Hydraulic Engineering Circular No. 21, May 1993, Design of Bridge Deck Drainage. II. DECK DRAIN LOCATION 1. Avoid locations over Highway or Railroad travel way as piping will be required. 2. Locate over medians, water or slope paving. If over a median, provide a suitable splash pad or downspout to eliminate unsightly erosion. 3. Low points. Usually these will include at least one and frequently all four corners of the bridge deck. In each case the drain shall be placed as close to the corner of the deck as practicable. 4. In the case of bridges where the approach grade is downward toward the bridge, removal of runoff must be handled in the roadway plans. Runoff exiting the structure must be handled similarly. Assurances to this effect should be obtained from the appropriate area engineer. If received verbally, record it in writing and file it in the subject files. Note on Situation & Layout sheet for roadway plans to pick up runoff and the volume of runoff involved. 5. Flat areas will require further investigation. Check if bridge can be sloped. 6. Trash, gravel, and ice are the main consideration in designing drainage piping systems. III. DESIGN PROCEDURE Refer to Bridge Design Manual Appendix 2.1

DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR CONSTANT GRADE BRIDGES If the bridge grade is less than 0.3 percent, then the procedure for flat bridges should be followed. 1. Determine the rainfall intensity. Calculate the intensity using the Rational Method Calculate the intensity using the Avoidance of Hydroplaning Method Intensity due to Vision Impairment is 4.00 in/hr. Use the Rational Method value for the design intensity Compare the Rational Method value to the Avoidance of Hydroplaning and Vision Impairment values 2. Calculate the full gutter flow, Qf, at the design spread, T. 3. Calculate the distance to the first inlet, L0, from the upslope end of the bridge. 4. Determine if inlets are needed on the bridge. If L0 is greater than the total bridge length, no inlets are required. If L0 is less than the total bridge length, calculate the spacing between inlets, Lc. 5. Space inlets at Lc until the end of the bridge is reached. 6. Design the bridge end treatment. Inlets beyond the end of the bridge should be sized for a flow. Energy dissipation devices should be provided, if necessary, at the toe to prevent erosive velocities. Where debris is a problem, assume a percentage of blockage of the drains. Assume a duration time and design spread width. Calculate the intensity using the Rational Method. Compute tc and compare to the assumed duration time. Iterate until the assumed and computed values are equal. Compute the design flow. Compute the spread. Iterate until the assumed duration and spread values are equal to the computed values. DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR FLAT GRADE BRIDGES Bridges with vertical curves are nearly flat at their low or high points. For bridges with grades less than 0.3 percent at the high or low points of vertical curves or on a constant grade, check the required inlet spacing assuming the bridge is flat. Use the flat spacing if it is less than the spacing required for a constant grade. 1. Determine the rainfall intensity using the Rational Method. Use a duration of 5 minutes Determine the Rainfall Intensity Zone for the bridge site and compute the intensity 2. Calculate the constant inlet spacing, Lc. 3. Determine if inlets are needed on the bridge. If Lc is greater than the total bridge length, no inlets are required. 4. If inlets are needed, calculate the required inlet perimeter, P. 5. Design the bridge end treatment. DESIGN PROCEDURE FOR VERTICAL CURVE BRIDGES 1. Compute the distance from the turning point of the vertical curve to each end of the bridge. 2. Determine the rainfall intensity using the Rational Method. Assume a duration and compute the intensity. Compute the time of concentration, tc, by summing the gutter and overland flow times, t0 and tg. Iterate until tc equals the assumed duration. 3. Determine the spacing to the first inlet. Assume a distance from the turning point to the first inlet and compute the slope at that point. Compute the gutter flow, Qf., at the design spread. Compute the distance to the first inlet, L0, letting K=1. Iterate the process until the trial and computed values are equal. If L0 is greater than the distance from the turning point to the end of bridge, than inlets are not required. 4. Determine the spacing to the next inlet, if required. Select a trial spacing Compute the local slope, S. Calculate the gutter flow, Qf.

Compute the inlet efficiency, E. Compute the interception coefficient, K. Compute the inlet spacing and compare to the trial value. Iterate the process until the trial and computed values are equal. Repeat step 4 until the sum of the inlet spacing is greater than the distance from the turning point to the end of bridge. Repeat steps 3, 4, & 5 for the drains on the other side of the turning point. Design bridge end treatment.

SLOPE PAVING
Slope protection under bridges shall generally be provided under the end spans of grade separations and interchange structures and at railroad overpasses. Slope protection shall be concrete or crushed rock. Consult with the District to determine which one shall be used. Concrete slope paving shall be used in urban and suburban areas where vandalism could be a problem. Vandalism may be anticipated even if pedestrian traffic is prohibited under the bridge. Concrete slope paving may also be required by a duly constituted authority such as a railroad company. The maximum recommended slope for concrete slope paving is 2:1. Crushed rock of approximately 4 maximum dimension may be used at locations where vandalism is not likely to be a problem. The District should verify that a materials source for the rock is readily available. Avoid unpaved areas between slope paving and sidewalks. Avoid conducting water drained from slope paving across the top of a sidewalk. For dual structures over 15 skew, the end flared section shall be the same as for single structures over 15 skew. The center section shown on the standard drawing is typical for all dual structures at any skew angle with medians not more than 76 edge to edge of traveled lanes. For median strips greater than 76 use two single structures. Welded wire fabric may be deleted if fiber reinforced concrete is used. Modify the Standard Drawing details accordingly and add the following note to the Standard Drawing: Polypropylene fibrillated fibers, Fiber Mesh MD or equal, shall meet the material specifications of ASTM C-1116, Type 111 Section 4.1.3 (Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete or Shotcrete). The weight of the fibers shall be 0.056 pcf. Calculate the data shown in the following sketch and show on the drawing to make the field layout easier.

Article 5.7.3.6.2 Page 1 of 1 1/2002 5.7.3.6.2 DEFLECTION and CAMBER

The ultimate purpose in computing deflections due to prestressing and dead load is to produce a structure which will conform with the profile grade after the effects of immediate dead load deflection and prestressing and subsequent deflection due to creep have taken place. In prestressed, precast girders the pretensioned steel strands induce upward deflection or camber. This camber is lessened by the weight of the girder, but not negated. Since concrete is subject to creep, the camber increases with time. The camber strip is the relatively thin layer of concrete between the underside of the bridge deck and the top of the girder. The purpose of the camber strip is to compensate for the difference between the profile of the underside of the deck along the girder line and the girder itself. The camber strip shall be of sufficient thickness so that the top of the girder does not protrude into the slab. The thickness of the deck at centerline of bearing shall be shown on the plans. The thickness shall include the following: Basic deck thickness Camber strip thickness Superelevation allowance Vertical curve effects Horizontal curve effects Fabrication/Construction tolerances Deflections and camber are assumed to be parabolic curves and shall be computed according to ITD Research Report 98-1601, Camber Growth In Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders. The design procedure is outlined in Appendix A, Article A5.6. Deck Forms At the time of setting deck forms, the primary concern is that the tops of the girders not extend into the deck and interfere with the reinforcing steel. After the girders are set, the tops of the girders are profiled. Finish grades for the top of the deck are generated by adding the correction for the slab dead load deflection. The bottom of deck form elevation is computed by subtracting the deck thickness. The top of girder profile should be lower than the bottom of deck form elevation. If not, the profile grade may require adjustment.

In equation 5.8.3.5-2 for the required tensile reinforcement at the inside edge of the bearing area of simple end supports to the section of critical shear, the values of Vu, Vs, Vp, and calculated at the section of critical shear shall be used. Where there is an embedded steel bearing plate in the girder, the inside edge of the bearing area shall be taken as the inside edge of the embedded steel plate and the theoretical crack is assumed to propagate from the inside edge of the embedded steel plate at an angle of , where is calculated at the section of critical shear. Refer to Figure C5.8.3.5-1. For prestressed girders, if the prestressing strands alone are not sufficient to resist the required tensile force, then the embedded steel plate can be lengthened slightly, mild steel can be utilized, or a combination of the two. Any lack of full development in either prestressing strands or the mild reinforcing shall be accounted for. Check development of mild reinforcing from the end of the girder to the point where the reinforcing bars cross the theoretical crack. At other sections (critical section, 0.1L, 0.2L, etc.), the tensile capacity of the tensile reinforcement on the flexural tension side of the member shall be calculated using equation 5.8.3.5-1. The values of Mu, Nu, Vu, Vs, Vp, and shall be the values that are calculated for the section under consideration.

Commentary: At sections other than at the end, the values of Mu, Nu, Vu, Vs, Vp, and are assumed to apply over a bandwidth that is centered on the section under consideration. At the end, the bandwidth is taken as the distance from the inside edge of the bearing area to the section of critical shear. The code is not clear regarding what values of Mu, Nu, Vu, Vs, Vp, and apply over the bandwidth at the end. The commentary allows using Vu, Vs, Vp, and calculated at the section of critical shear over this bandwidth (Refer to C5.8.3.5.). Mu is taken as 0.0 ft-kips over this bandwidth. For uniformity within the Bridge Section, we have chosen to use the method in the commentary.

Article 5.9.5 Page 1 of 3 4/2008 5.9.5 LOSS OF PRESTRESS

Elastic Losses or Gains, fpES fpES is the sum of all the losses or gains to the strand stress due to elastic shortening or extension caused by either internal (prestressing) or external (gravity) loads applied to the concrete section. fpES should be calculated using either the iteration of Equation 5.9.5.2.3a-1 or directly solving with Equation C5.9.5.2.3a-1. LongTerm Losses, fpLT fpLT is the sum of losses due to long-term shrinkage and creep of the concrete, and relaxation of the prestressing steel. There are 3 methods listed in the AASHTO LRFD code for computation of long-term losses: 1. 2. 3. The approximate estimate according to the provisions of Article 5.9.5.3 and Equation 5.9.5.3-1. The approximate estimate according to the provisions of Article 5.9.5.3 and Table 5.9.5.3-1. The refined estimates according to the provisions of Article 5.9.5.4.

Method 1 is an approximate method that gives reasonably good results (as compared to Method 3) for conventional prestressed girders with a composite cast-in-place deck; however this method can be unconservative for girders without a cast-in-place deck. Method 2 is the least accurate method and should not be used for final design. Method 3, the refined method, presumably results in the most accurate estimate of long-term losses for all prestressed girder types with or without a cast-in-place deck, however it requires significantly more effort than either Method 1 or 2. For typical bridge construction with a conventional prestressed girder and a cast-in-place deck, Method 3 will not yield significantly different or better results as compared to Method 1. It is the Bridge Sections opinion that for conventional prestressed girders with cast-in-place deck the presumed level of accuracy achieved by using Method 3 is seldom warranted or even possible because the material properties that effect creep and shrinkage and the times for various load application are either unknown or beyond the control of the bridge designer. In general, Method 1 may be used for typical ITD bridge construction that involves precast, pretensioned members with a composite cast-in-place slab. Method 3 may be used for all prestressed girder types but must be used for precast, pretensioned members without a composite slab (such as deck bulb tees, side-by-side voided slab sections, etc) the use of Method 1 in this case would be unconservative. Method 2, if used at all, should be limited to preliminary designs only, not for final design. The term construction staging as used in C5.9.5.3 is understood to refer to a member that is constructed in stages rather than a bridge that is constructed in stages. Examples of members that are constructed in stages are segmental construction and post-tensioned spliced precast girders.

Design Assumptions for Method 3 (refined estimate of losses) It is ITD policy to use 55% humidity for all locations in Idaho. When using the refined estimate of losses (Method 3) there are some assumptions that need to be made concerning the age of the girder concrete (ageing starts at the end of the cure period) at transfer, at deck placement and at final time. Also the age of the deck concrete is also required for the determination of losses or gains due to loads applied to the composite section (such as rail loads and wearing surfaces). Because these ages are not usually known during the design process some conservative assumptions should be made.

Article 5.9.5 Page 2 of 3 4/2008

The sooner a cast-in-place deck can be placed on prestressed girders the lower the long term prestress loss will be. Consequently the design should be based on the deck being placed at the latest practical time; this will result in the greatest long term losses and thereby produce a more conservative design. Therefore, if no better information is known, it is ITD policy to assume the following: For Prestressed Girders with Composite cast-in-place Decks, Age of girder at transfer = 0.75 days (a smaller number will result in greater prestress loss) Age of girder at deck placement = 270 days (a larger number will result in greater prestress loss) Age of deck at composite loading = 1 day (a smaller number will result in greater prestress loss) Final time = 3650 days (a smaller number will result in less prestress loss, a larger number has little effect) For Prestressed Girders without cast-in-place Decks, Age of girder at transfer = 0.75 days (a smaller number will result in greater prestress loss) Age of girder at installation = 15 days (a smaller number will result in greater prestress loss) Final time = 3650 days (a smaller number will result in less prestress loss, a larger number has little effect) The assumed values above were chosen to be conservative in most cases. If the designer has information to more accurately predict the number of days for the various conditions listed above different design values may be used in consultation with the Group Leaders.

Commentary:
The total loss of prestress, fpT, is defined as the difference in the stress in prestressing strands immediately before transfer (the jacking stress) and the effective stress in the prestressing strands after all losses, fpe. The total loss of prestress, fpT, is further defined as the sum of elastic losses and long-term (also called time-dependent) losses. For typical pretensioned, precast members with low-relaxation strand, the above definitions can be re-stated as the following equations: fpe = (0.75 * 270 ksi) fpT fpT = fpES + fpLT Where 0.75 * 270 ksi is the jacking stress. Where fpES is the elastic loss and fpLT is the long-term loss.

(Eqn. 5.9.5.1-1)

fpES , elastic losses or gains, occur instantaneously at the time of load application. While fpES consists of many different components, one for each load, there are two general categories. The first category is the elastic loss that occurs immediately after transfer of the prestress force to the girder (loss due to prestress combined with gain due to the member self weight). The second category is the loss or gain due to additional loads, such as non-composite dead loads, composite dead loads and live loads that are applied after transfer. It is ITDs policy to ignore the effects of this second category for simplicity and the fact that it is conservative to due so because in most cases this effect would result in a gain or increase in prestressing force. fpLT , long term losses, occur due to long-term shrinkage and creep of concrete, and relaxation of the prestressing steel. Sign Convention When loads or prestressing forces cause a member to shorten or the strands are allowed to relax, the tension stress in the strands decreases and the strands undergo a loss. A loss is considered to be a positive quantity. When loads cause the strands to elongate, the tension stress in the strand increases and the strands undergo a gain. A gain is considered to be a negative quantity. For typical construction, the losses will be greater than the gains, and the sum of losses and gains will result in an overall loss. fpT will typically be a positive quantity that is subtracted from the jacking stress.

Article 5.9.5 Page 3 of 3 4/2008

Section Properties The AASHTO LRFD code allows the bridge designer to use either gross or transformed section properties when designing prestressed girders. Gross section properties are the properties of the girder section based only on the gross concrete area without regard to the area of prestressing steel or other reinforcement. The advantages of gross section properties are that they are simple to compute and they do not vary along the girder length with the eccentricity of harped strands. Transformed section properties are those properties that take into account the effective area of the prestressing steel as well as any other longitudinal reinforcement in the girder based on the steel-to-concrete modular ratio. The use of transformed section properties does have the advantage of implicitly accounting for all elastic losses or gains due to applied loads including prestress, dead load and live load. The use of transformed section properties is technically more correct and should yield a more accurate estimate of stresses in both the prestressing steel and the concrete. When gross section properties are used to analyze prestressed girders the typical analysis assumes that the prestressing force in the girder remains constant during all loading conditions. However this is not actually true since the prestressing strands are bonded to the concrete and if plane sections remain plane the stress in the strands (and therefore the prestressing force) varies with girder loading. Gross section analysis does not account for this change in prestress force directly. Therefore, to account for this effect the prestressing force has to be adjusted by calculating the elastic losses or gains and subtracting or adding them to the initial force. It should be noted that if transformed section properties are used for the structural analysis of the girder there is no need to consider elastic losses or gains in the prestressing strands, the change in the strand stress is already accounted for implicitly because of the adjusted section properties. This effect can be understood with the simple case of a 10 by 10 rectangular concrete section with 1.5 square inches of prestressing steel located at the center of the section with a steel-to-concrete modular ratio (Es/Ec) of 7.0. Assuming the force at transfer is 0.75*270 ksi the initial prestress force on the section is 0.75*270*1.5 = 303.75 kips. If transformed properties are used the section area becomes 10*10 + 1.5(7.0 1) = 109 sq. in., dividing the total initial force by this area results in a compressive stress over the total transformed area of 303.75/109 = 2.787 ksi. Since the transformed area of the steel is part of the total area that the force is applied to then subtracting this compressive stress times the modular ratio from the original tension stress in the steel gives the net stress in the steel, 0.75*270 2.787*7.0 = 182.99 ksi. Now if gross section properties had been used for the analysis then to find the effective stress in the steel the elastic losses must be calculated with Equation C5.9.5.2.3a-1, the result for this example is a loss of 19.24 ksi. The effective stress in the steel is then, 0.75*270 19.24 = 183.26 ksi. The effective stress from the gross section analysis is essentially the same, well within the level of accuracy of the design material properties. ITD has historically used gross section properties for prestressed girder design, ignoring all gains in the prestressing force due to added dead load and live load. As a result we have a good history of crack free prestressed girder performance in Idaho. It is ITD policy to continue to use gross section properties ignoring added dead load and live load elastic gains. Humidity The average annual humidity in Idaho can vary from 70% in the far north to as low as 55% in the southwest part of the state. Since concrete shrinks more in a low humidity environment resulting in greater prestress loss it is conservative to assume a low humidity in designing prestressed girders, therefore it is ITD policy to use 55% humidity in design unless the designer has better information for a particular bridge location.

In this section, the prestressing force at transfer is to be taken as the prestressing force just after transfer. This means that the loss due to elastic shortening should be subtracted out. For example, for low-lax strands the stress in the strand equals 0.75*fpu fpES where fpES is computed per section 5.9.5.2.3.

5.12.1 General

All State and Locally sponsored projects shall be required to provide a deck protection system in the design and construction on all new concrete bridge decks, regardless of the winter roadway maintenance salt policy. Both mats of reinforcing steel should be considered for epoxy coating in deck slabs that will be carrying high volumes of traffic and will be subjected to frequent winter salting applications. Since both high traffic and frequent salting will occur primarily in urban areas, all structures located in urban areas shall be evaluated for a dual protection system. A Single Deck Protection System is the minimum acceptable deck protection for decks exposed to traffic on all interstate, state, or county highways unless additional deck protection is required. The single deck protection system shall meet the requirements listed below. The type of deck protection system shall be shown or noted on the Situation and Layout Drawing. EXPOSED DECK SLAB The deck slab is considered exposed to traffic when the distance between the finished grade and the top of the concrete deck is less than 4 inches between the paved roadway shoulders. SINGLE DECK PROTECTION SYSTEM The concrete deck shall have an 8-inch minimum thickness of Class 40A concrete, which includes a inch expendable wearing surface that is considered as added dead load and not having structural capabilities. The top mat of reinforcement shall have 2 inches of cover. All reinforcement within 4 inches of surfaces exposed to traffic shall be epoxy coated, including concrete parapets. DUAL DECK PROTECTION SYSTEM A dual deck protection system shall be utilized for all structures requiring special construction techniques or that have been classified as major or unusual bridges. Any structure that will require shoring for removal and repair of the deck (e.g. CIP box girders, CIP tee beams, CIP slab bridges) shall have a dual protection system. Deck slabs on box girder bridges are difficult and costly to repair unless the deck is designed so a portion of the deck can be removed without requiring shoring, such as the Type 1 dual deck protection system. The dual deck protection system shall meet the requirements listed for one of the 3 following types. The type selected will require the approval of the Bridge Design Engineer prior to incorporating that system in the design. TYPE 1 The concrete deck shall have a 7 inch minimum thickness of Class 40A concrete, which does not include the 1 inch of replaceable wearing surface that is considered as added dead load and not having structural capabilities. The top mat of reinforcement shall have 1 inches initial cover (before scarification of inches). The deck shall be designed so that the top 1 inches can be removed without requiring shoring while maintaining traffic on a portion of the deck. The replaceable wearing surface of 1 inches shall be latex modified concrete or micro silica modified concrete. All reinforcement within 4 inches of surfaces exposed to traffic shall be epoxy coated, including concrete parapets. TYPE 2 The concrete deck shall have an 8-inch minimum thickness of Class 40A concrete, which includes a 1-inch expendable wearing surface that is considered as added dead load and not having structural capabilities. The top mat of reinforcement shall have 3 inches of cover. All reinforcement within 4 inches of surfaces exposed to traffic shall be epoxy coated, including concrete parapets. TYPE 3 Bridges using precast prestressed boxes or slabs as the deck to support traffic shall use the Type 3 Dual Deck Protection System. The concrete class and member sizes for precast, prestressed deck members shall be determined by design. The top mat of reinforcement shall have 2 inches of cover. The top surface of precast beams that act as the bridge deck shall have an asphalt overlay of 1 inches with an interlayer waterproofing membrane. Prior to placement of the membrane, all joints between precast units that exceed inch difference in elevation shall be over grouted to accommodate hand finishing. The grouted slopes

Article 5.12 Page 2 of 3 6/2006

shall not be greater than 1:12. All reinforcement within 4 inches of surfaces exposed to traffic shall be epoxy coated, including concrete parapets.

BURIED DECK SLABS The deck slab is considered buried when the distance between the finished grade and the top of the concrete deck is greater than 4 inches between the paved roadway shoulders. This generally applies to box culverts and stifflegs where roadway ballast is carried over the top slab. UNDER ROADWAY WITH LESS THAN 2 FEET FILL The deck slab shall be Class 40A concrete with a waterproof membrane applied as specified in Section 511 of the Standard Specifications. The top mat of reinforcement shall have 2 inches of cover. Both mats of reinforcement in the deck slab shall be non-epoxy coated bars. OUTSIDE ROADWAY OR FILL EXCEEDS 2 FEET The deck slab shall be Class 40B concrete. The top mat of reinforcement shall have 2 inches of cover. Both mats of reinforcement in the deck slab shall be non-epoxy coated bars.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTION TO BRIDGE DECK REINFORCEMENT The following is standard practice for locating electrical test connection points on the edges of new concrete bridge decks. CADDS cell on B5.7 is available for use on the plans. PLAIN & EPOXY COATED REINFORCEMENT Each deck section shorter than 250 should have two connection points. These connections should be located at the extreme ends of the deck section, within 3 of the ends of the deck section. The connections should be located on opposite sides of the deck. On decks greater than 250, electrical connection points should be evenly spaced, but no more than 250 apart. Locations should alternate between opposite edges of the deck. Spacing should be adjusted so that there is a connection point within 3 of each end of the deck section. A deck section is defined as a portion of deck where the longitudinal reinforcement is continuous throughout. The section ends at any point where there is a transverse joint if the longitudinal reinforcement does not pass through the joint. At a construction joint, where longitudinal steel is carried through the joint, the deck on both sides of the joint is part of a single, continuous deck section for electrical testing purposes.

CATHODIC PROTECTION On decks designed for cathodic protection, connection points shall be installed in the same locations as for ordinary reinforcement. In addition, some means must be provided to break the cathodic protection circuit so that readings can be taken with the protective current shut off.

PRECAST PRESTRESSED SLABS Electrical connection points are not required for precast, prestressed slab bridges and deck bulb-tee bridges.

Article 5.14.1.2.7 Page 1 of 1 12/2001 5.14.1.2.7 SIMPLE SPAN PRESTRESSED GIRDERS MADE CONTINUOUS
Negative Moments The following design criteria shall apply for the design of the negative moment steel in the deck. Case 1 Girders Designed As Simple Spans & Reinforcement Added To Control Cracking. (This is the typical design case for new bridges) The top longitudinal deck reinforcement over the piers, in addition to the standard empirical design reinforcement, shall be #6 bars at 12 spaced between the standard top deck bars. The full area of the additional reinforcement shall extend either direction from the bearing centerlines a distance of at least 10 feet or 15% of the longer span whichever is greater. At least half the area of the additional reinforcement shall extend to a distance from the pier of at least 15 ft or 20% of the longer span whichever is greater. The bottom longitudinal deck reinforcement shall be per the empirical design method, Article 9.7.2. Case 2 Girders Designed Fully Continuous For Live Load (This case may be used for new bridges where Case 1 is not feasible) The weight of the parapet may be distributed evenly to all the girders. The maximum negative moment may be taken at the face of the support. Longitudinal reinforcement shall be anchored in accordance with Article 5.14.1.2.7b. The section shall meet Strength 1 limit state requirements as follows: 1.25*DCnoncomposite, acting as simply supported and 1.25*DCcomposite + 1.5*DW + 1.75*LL, acting as a continuous beam. Both layers of steel in the deck may be used in resisting the negative moments. Only structures with fully effective construction joints at the piers, per Article 5.14.1.2.7c, shall be designed as continuous for the Service III limit state. This may be accomplished by placing the pier diaphragm concrete and the negative moment regions of the deck first and the positive moment regions only after the pier diaphragm concrete has reached 100% of its design strength. Case 3 Girders Designed As Simple Spans And The Deck Is Replaced To Eliminate Joints. (This case is used for existing bridges that are retrofitted) No design is required. Use #5 bars in the top mat at approximately 12 spacing over the piers and carry them at least a development length past the face of the support but not beyond the 1/4 pt.

Commentary
Case 1 The additional reinforcement is based on providing enough steel in the deck over the piers to limit the top deck steel stress to 36 ksi, the maximum allowed for serviceability. This is based on the assumption that all girders act together as a single unit, as in deflection calculations, and that the distance between the centerlines of bearings for each of the spans on a bent is at least 24 inches. The 24 inches between bearings is assumed to act as a short span between the main spans with a moment of inertia of a cracked section. The additional deck steel along with the steel provided in the empirical design method may not supply enough negative moment capacity to resist the full negative moments that would be realized in continuous girder design, however it will provide enough restraint to limit the steel stress to 36 ksi under service loads for all prestressed girder depths up to 72. Case 2 If the negative moment areas of the deck are placed first it may be assumed that the provisions of Article 5.14.1.2.7c are met. However, the deck reinforcement over the piers will then need to be designed for the negative moments at the piers generated by the concrete placed in the positive moment areas of the spans in addition to the composite loads. Otherwise the calculations of Article 5.14.1.2.7c will need to be provided in order to utilize continuity for Service III.

Case 1 Girders Designed As Simple Spans & Top Deck Reinforcement Added To Control Cracking. (This is the typical design case for new bridges) The top longitudinal deck reinforcement over the piers, in addition to the standard empirical design reinforcement, shall be #6 bars at 12 spaced between the standard top deck bars.

At least half the area of the additional reinforcement shall extend to a distance from the pier of at least 15 ft or 20% of the longer span whichever is greater. The bottom longitudinal deck reinforcement shall be per the empirical design method, Article 9.7.2. A positive moment connection at the piers shall be provided. This shall entail extending the required number of prestressing strand beyond the end of each girder 8 horizontally then bent vertical and anchored in the pier diaphragm. See details on standard drawing for Prestressed AASHTO Girder Details B5.2D or Prestressed Bulb Tee Girder Details B5.3O.

Varies

Case 2 Girders Designed Fully Continuous For Live Load (This case may be used for new bridges where Case 1 is not feasible and approved by the Bridge Engineer) The weight of the parapet may be distributed evenly to all the girders. The negative moment reinforcement shall be determined based on the maximum negative moment taken at the face of the support. Longitudinal reinforcement shall be anchored in accordance with Article 5.14.1.2.7b. The section shall meet Strength 1 limit state requirements as follows: 1.25*DCnoncomposite, acting as simply supported and 1.25*DCcomposite + 1.5*DW + 1.75*LL, acting as a continuous beam. Both layers of steel in the deck may be used in resisting the negative moments. Only structures with fully effective construction joints at the piers, per Article 5.14.1.4.3, shall be designed as continuous for the Service III limit state. The requirements of Article 5.14.1.4.3, may be considered satisfied if the girder age is at least 90 days at the time the continuity diaphragm is placed. A positive moment connection at the piers shall be provided with a minimum capacity, Mn, of 1.2Mcr in accordance with NCHRP Report 519. Case 3 Girders Designed As Simple Spans And The Deck Is Replaced To Eliminate Joints. (This case is used for existing bridges that are retrofitted) No design is required. Use #5 bars in the top mat at approximately 12 spacing over the piers and carry them at least a development length beyond the centerline of bearing of the girders but not beyond the 1/4 pt. of the span.

Article 5.14.1.4 Page 2 of 2 6/2006

Commentary
Case 1 The additional reinforcement in the top of the deck is based on providing enough steel over the piers to meet the requirements for control of cracking in the deck per Article 5.7.3.4 assuming the total Service 1 live load is distributed equally to all girders. This additional deck steel may not supply enough negative moment capacity to resist the full negative moments that would be required in a continuous girder design for Strength 1 loading, however it will provide enough reinforcement to limit the steel stress requirements for crack control for spans up to 130 and girder depths up to 73.5. Girders not specifically designed for continuous action should still be provided with a positive moment connection in order to prevent possible cracking in the diaphragm and also to securely anchor the girders in the diaphragm. The number of prestressing strands that are extended into the pier diaphragm is based on the area of steel required to provide a moment capacity, Mn, sufficient to resist 0.6Mcr for the composite girder section in positive bending based on Mcr = Sfr where S is the composite section modulus and fr is the modulus of rupture equal to 0.24f`c where f`c is the strength of the diaphragm concrete. ITDs maximum slab thickness and the maximum effective composite slab width per Article 4.6.2.6.1 were used to establish the number of strands required for the various girder depths as well as development length. However, the number of strand and the development length shown on the standard drawing may be considered adequate. Case 2 Since the effects due to creep and shrinkage are highly dependent on conditions beyond the control or knowledge of the designer, it is more practical to allow the girders to age for 90 days before continuity is established in order to negate the effects of creep and shrinkage rather than attempting to calculate these effects based on assumed conditions and material properties that can vary significantly.

Article 6.7.2 Page 1 of 3 6/2006 6.7.2 DEAD LOAD CAMBER

Steel girders require cambering in order to compensate for the effects of roadway vertical curvature, dead load deflections and concrete deck shrinkage deflections. In order to maintain a constant dimension from the top of the bridge deck to the top of the girder web throughout the length of the girder, the web must be fabricated to a profile that matches the finished grade profile of the bridge, along the girder line, after all permanent design loads are applied to the girder. The camber information shall be shown on the plans at the tenth points of each span and at field splice points in both graphic (a camber diagram) and tabular form. The first aspect of developing the camber diagram is to establish a baseline from which all camber dimensions can be measured. While any straight line, whether horizontal or sloped, is adequate for this purpose the preferred baseline is a line that connects a point at the top of the web at one end of a continuous girder to a point at the top of the web at the other end of the same girder. This line is represented on the camber diagram as a horizontal line. This baseline definition is preferred over other definitions because if the conditions stated below are met the resulting camber diagram will have zero offset from the baseline at both the beginning and end of the girder and the same camber values will be good for all girders in the crosssection, regardless of bridge skew angle. All girders in the cross-section are straight and the same length. The beginning or end of a vertical curve does not fall within the limits of the bridge (this is only critical if the bridge is skewed). No abrupt changes occur in the deck cross-slope on the bridge (such as the start or end of a super transition).

In those cases where the bridge geometry does not meet the above conditions the baseline may be defined, at the discretion of the engineer, as something other than what is described above. In such cases a separate camber table may be required for each girder. Curved girders will always require a separate camber table for each girder. In all cases the definition of the baseline shall be clearly indicated on the bridge plans. It should be noted here that interior and exterior girders on straight bridges should be cambered the same even if the design dead loads are different. For camber purposes all dead loads should be distributed equally to all girders in a cross-section. If the exterior girders are cambered different from the interior it will not only be difficult to attach the cross-frames but it will be impossible to control the finished grade across the width of the deck with a screed machine supported on the exterior girders. If the screed rails are set for finishing to the exterior girders they will not be correct for finishing over the interior girders. The exterior and interior girders essentially deflect the same during deck placement due to the load distribution effects of the diaphragms. The second part of developing the camber diagram is determining the amount of offset from the baseline to the finished position of the girder after all permanent loads have been applied. For bridges with no vertical curvature or abrupt changes in cross-section this offset will be zero the full length of the girder. Bridges fully or partially on vertical curves will have camber values varying from zero at the ends to a maximum value near the center of the girder (with positive values for crest and negative values for sag vertical curves). These values should be labeled in the camber table as vertical curve. The third part of developing the camber diagram is determining the amount of deflection dead loads and deck shrinkage cause in the girder. There are four types of deflections to consider: the self-weight of the steel (non-composite load), the weight of the deck concrete (partial-composite load), the weight of all other dead loads such as parapet & future wearing surface (fullycomposite load) and the effect of deck shrinkage over time (fully-composite load). Each one of these deflection types are calculated separately and shown in the camber table, a downward deflection is shown as positive camber and vice versa. The camber diagram shall only show the total of all camber values added together for a given point. The calculation of the deflections for girder self-weight and the parapet & FWS are relatively straight forward, however the calculation of the deflections due to the deck concrete and shrinkage are more complex. It is ITD policy to determine deflections due to the deck concrete based on the pour sequence. The deflections of the first pour are based on the whole girder acting non-composite, then the deflections of the second pour are based on the area of the first pour acting compositely with the rest of the girder non-composite and so on until the last pour. The deflections due to each pour sequence are added together and only the total is shown in the camber table. For deck shrinkage deflections a method based on classical structure analysis is presented below. Other methods that utilize structural analysis software (such as LARSA) may also be used provided they are based on the same concrete shrinkage strain.

Article 6.7.2 Page 2 of 3 6/2006

STEEL GIRDER CAMBER DUE TO DECK SHRINKAGE In addition to dead load and vertical curvature, steel structures should also be cambered for the effect of concrete deck shrinkage. The deflection due to shrinkage should be calculated based on the shrinkage strain of the deck acting on the composite girder sections of the structure. From Article 5.4.2.3.3 the shrinkage strain can be calculated as follows: sh = kvs khs kf ktd (0.00048) where: sh = shrinkage strain of plain concrete kvs = factor for volume to surface ratio (assume 1.0 for decks) khs = humidity factor (1.16 for Idaho based on an average humidity of 60%) kf = factor for concrete strength (1.0 for 4000 psi concrete) ktd = time development factor (0.99 after ten years) Using these assumptions; sh = 0.00055

The shrinkage deflection of composite beams can be determined by substituting an equivalent compression force for the shrinkage strain, this force is applied to the ends of each girder segment at mid depth of the deck. For deflection purposes this eccentric compression load has the same effect as applying a positive moment to the ends of each girder segment (a segment being a length of girder with the same section properties). The magnitude of the applied moments is equal to the compression force times the distance from the mid depth of the deck to the c.g. of the composite section for that segment. Where two segments join the applied moment is the difference between the calculated moments for each segment. The equivalent force and moments are determined as follows: Fsh = (1 )sh AE/3 Mi = Fsh(cgi T/2) where: Fsh = compression force required to produce a strain equal to sh Mi = moment applied to each end of a particular segment to model the shrinkage effect A = tributary area of the deck per girder (use total area of deck divided by number of girders) E = modulus of elasticity of the concrete cgi = center of gravity as measured from the top of a particular composite section T = thickness of the deck = average ratio of longitudinal deck steel to deck area for a given girder segment Example of a two span bridge with two different girder sections:
Span 1 Span 2

(this expression is divided by 3 to account for creep)

Segment 2

Segment 3

The composite I for the girder sections in this analysis should be based on 3n to account for the long-term creep effect and, at the engineers option, the transformed deck section to take advantage of the deck reinforcement. The resulting deflections for this load case are equivalent to the shrinkage deflections. These deflections can then be added to the dead load deflections and combined with the vertical curvature corrections to determine the total camber. This method is appropriate for both single and multiple spans.

Article 6.10.3 Page 1 of 3 4/2008 6.10.3 Constructibility Considerations for Steel Plate Girder Bridges
There are several constructibility issues that are unique to steel plate girder bridges that designers should account for in the design, plan preparation, and shop drawing review stages of a project. Diaphragm Installation for Skewed Bridges: On straight non-skewed bridges all girders across the width of the bridge rotate at their bearings about a single axis line which is perpendicular to the girders, therefore as each girder is loaded all the girders rotate about a common line and the end diaphragms that connect the girders are unaffected. On skewed bridges each girder rotates about its own axis offset from adjacent girders, consequently as the girders are loaded and the girder ends rotate a distorting force is induced in the end diaphragms that connect the girders, since the diaphragms are very stiff diagonally and the girders are relatively flexible torsionally the diaphragms will twist the girders, pulling the web out of plumb. The angle that the girder web is twisted out of plumb can be calculated as follows: = tan() where: = the out-of-plumb angle = the bridge skew angle = the angle of the end of the girder due to the dead load camber (other than girder self weight)

While there is no way to prevent girder twisting without the complete removal of diaphragms, when and how the girders twist can be controlled by the way the girders are detailed and fabricated. If the girders and diaphragms are detailed and fabricated for the diaphragms to fit the initial position of the girders, before the bridge deck is placed, then the girders will be plumb when the erection is complete. However, after the deck is placed, the girders will be twisted permanently in their final position, the girders will not sit level on the bearings and high distortional stresses will be locked into the diaphragms and girders. The only advantage to this method is that the girders and diaphragms fit initially, making it easier for the contractor to assemble.

Article 6.10.3 Page 2 of 3 4/2008

On the other hand, if the girders and diaphragms are detailed and fabricated for the final position then the girders will need to be twisted out of plumb initially in order to get the diaphragms installed. However, after the deck is placed, the girders will be plumb for their final permanent position with a minimum amount of permanent distortional stresses in the diaphragms and girders. Standard practice for ITD is to detail diaphragms for the final position. Since some fabricators detail for the initial fit all shop drawings should be carefully checked to ensure they conform to the plans and the design. It is also good practice to specify the direction of the deck placement on the plans. The girders will initially be out of plumb to the greatest extent at the ends of the girders so the deck placement should progress from the dead load inflection point of the span toward the end of the girders so that the girders are near plumb by the time the placement reaches the girder ends. There is a similar effect from intermediate diaphragms on skewed bridges. Because intermediate diaphragms are typically detailed to attach to the girders such that the diaphragms are perpendicular to the girder lines, they connect adjacent girders at slightly different span points. Since the amount of camber is different at each of these points the girders will need to twist initially out of plumb if the diaphragms are detailed to fit in the final deflected position. But, like the end diaphragms, once the deck has been placed the girders at the intermediate diaphragms will be in the correct upright position. Camber Differences of Interior and Exterior Girders: Interior and exterior girders for a given span are often designed for different amounts of dead load due to different tributary areas. This can result in a difference in the dead load camber shown in the plans for interior and exterior girders. However, if the girders are fabricated with different cambers it may become difficult to install the diaphragms during erection, but more importantly the deck may not be finished to the desired thickness across the full width of the bridge. Typically the screed rails for deck finishing machines are supported by the exterior girders, therefore if the exterior girders have more or less camber than the interior girders the deck will either be screeded too thick or too thin over the interior girders since the girders will not yet be fully loaded and therefore not in their final deflected position at the time the screed is finishing the deck. Even though it is appropriate to design the interior and exterior girders for different dead loads for the strength limit state, the dead load camber should be based on the dead load distributed equally to all girders so that all girders are cambered the same. This is really more representative of how the girders will actually deflect during construction as they are all connected to each other by diaphragms. Bearing Alignment and Changes in Girder Length: Bearings are often designed to accommodate the movement of girders for such effects as temperature change and live load rotations, but bearings should also accommodate construction tolerances and the length change that occurs in the bottom flange of girders between the initial unloaded condition and the final fully loaded condition. While there are two construction tolerances to consider: 1) girder length, and 2) bearing placement on abutments and piers, there are also two parts to bottom flange lengthening: 1) the elastic lengthening due to the strain in the bottom flange resulting from the applied loads, and 2) the geometric change in the effective horizontal length of the girder due to the flattening of the fabricated camber. Typically most of the lengthening is the result of elastic strain while the effect due to the flattening of the camber is usually minor and can be ignored in most cases, however camber flattening may become significant when there is a large amount of total camber constructed in the girder. Accommodating the various factors that contribute to nonalignment of sliding bearings is relatively straight forward since the sliding surface can just be increased. However for elastomeric bearings without a sliding surface it becomes more difficult because the bearings need to be designed to accommodate the extra lateral displacement by increasing the elastomer thickness. This in turn can affect other bearing properties such as load capacity, stability and vertical deflection. To avoid potential problems due to these issues, rather than increasing the elastomer thickness, the contractor can be required by specification to jack the girders and reposition the bearings after all dead loads have been applied and the temperature is near the midpoint of the design range. Lateral Deflections of Exterior Girders due to Deck Overhang Brackets: The construction of deck overhangs on steel girders is usually done with the use of standard deck overhang brackets. The use of these brackets introduces a torsional load into the exterior girders during placement of the concrete deck and the potential exists for the girder to rotate laterally, resulting in excessive overhang deflections. This can adversely affect finished grades

Article 6.10.3 Page 3 of 3 4/2008

when the screed rail is placed at the end of the overhang, the resulting deflection causes the screed to finish the deck lower than anticipated across the full width of the bridge. In order to minimize this problem all steel girder bridges should be checked for exterior girder rotational deflections due to overhang brackets. Anytime the calculated deflection at the edge of the overhang due to torsional effects exceeds 0.20 a revision should be made in the plans to reduce the deflection, such as closer diaphragm spacings, a larger top girder flange, or smaller overhangs. When the structural details cannot be altered temporary girder bracing should be detailed in the plans to resist the rotational effect. For more information on analyzing torsional loading refer to Article 6.10.3.4 and Appendix 6.1 of the Bridge Design LRFD Manual or to the Kansas Torsional Analysis of Exterior Girders method found on the Bridge Design X-Drive or available from KDOT.

The magnitude of the deflection at the edge of the deck in relation to the exterior girder is dependent on several factors; rotational stiffness of the girder, diaphragm spacing, amount of deck overhang and screed weight and location. The calculation of actual rotational stiffness of a welded I-girder is complex, and is made more difficult by the use of diaphragms, the change in flange sizes and the use of unsymmetrical sections. However the problem can be simplified by assuming that any applied torsion acts as a couple with one component of the couple applied to the top flange and the other opposing component applied to the bottom flange. The flanges can then be assumed to carry their respective loads as independent beams in the lateral direction (neglecting the effect of the web). The sum of the two resulting deflections divided by the depth of the girder is the amount of rotation at any given location. This method is conservative and results in rotations approximately 10% greater than would be calculated from a more precise torsional stiffness analysis. The flanges can be assumed to be continuous beams along the length of the structure with the diaphragms acting as supports. As a result the diaphragm spacing becomes the effective span when calculating the lateral deflections in each flange. The diaphragms should also be checked to be sure they are structurally adequate to carry the resulting reactions.

The couple that is applied to the flanges can be calculated from the net eccentric vertical loading applied to the exterior girders. A typical construction detail involves an overhang bracket on the exterior side of the girder and a beam hanger on the interior side. The loads from this arrangement are multiplied by their respective moment arms as measured from the centerline of the girder and algebraically added together resulting in the applied torsional moment. This moment is then divided by the girder depth and the resulting load applied to both the top and bottom flange to form a couple. The flanges are then checked for the greatest deflection case and the resulting deflections for the top and bottom flange are added together and divided by the girder depth, which will give the rotation in radians. This value is then multiplied by the overhang dimension giving the amount of deflection that will occur at the end of the overhang. The deflection at the overhang should not be greater than 0.20 inches.

Overhang Load, Concrete & L.L. Interior Bay Concrete Load Reaction

Screed Load & Walkway L.L.

Assume a three span welded plate girder bridge with overhangs of 3.25 ft and a deck thickness of 8 inches. The spans are 80 ft 100 ft 80 ft. The distance between the centers of the top and bottom flange is approximately 3.0 ft. The diaphragms are bent plates spaced at 20 ft in spans one and three and 25 ft in span two. The Girder spacings are 9.5 ft. The flanges vary as follows:

The top and bottom flanges actually act as twelve continuous sections for lateral load, however the remote sections have very little effect on deflections. Only two sections behind and one section in front of the section being checked need to be considered in the structural model, this limits the analysis to no more than four sections (see case 1 and 2 in this example). There are four vertical loads that should to be considered for the rotational effects: 1. The deck overhang concrete load. 2. The deck interior bay concrete load reaction on the exterior girder. 3. The screed load on the overhang. 4. The construction live load and walkway load in the work zone. (The work zone is considered to be a 20 ft. long zone centered on the screed) It is not necessary to consider the weight of the falsework because it is already in place when the form grades and screed rail settings are made. In this example the deck weighs 100 lbs/ft2, however an assumption must be made for the screed load. In this example the screed is assumed to weigh 4500 lbs per side spread out over 10 ft. The construction live load is 30 lbs/ft2 and the walkway load is 75 lbs/ft. The load per foot of length with associated moment arms, the resulting torsion and the equivalent lateral load applied to the flanges are as follows:

Article A6.1 Page 2 of 4 11/2003

Deck Overhang Load = 100(3.25 (1.16/2)) = 267 lbs/ft (overhang minus half the flange width) MomArm = (3.25 (1.16/2))/2 + 1.16/2 = 1.92 ft Torsion = 267(1.92) = 513 lbs*ft/ft Lateral Load = 513/3 = 171 lbs/ft Load = 100{(9.5 1.16)/2} = 417 lbs/ft MomArm = 1.16/2 = 0.58 ft Torsion = 417(0.58) = 242 lbs*ft/ft Lateral Load = 242/3 = 81 lbs/ft (girder spacing minus flange width divided by 2) (one half the flange width)

Interior Deck

Total Lateral Concrete Loads = 171 81 = 90 lbs/ft Screed Load Load = 4500/10 = 450 lbs/ft MomArm = 3.25 ft Torsion = 450(3.25) = 1463 lbs*ft/ft Screed Lateral Load = 1463/3 = 488 lbs/ft Uniform L.L.

(applied to all sections behind and including the one being checked)

(only applied to 10 ft at center of section checked)

Load = 30(3.25) = 98 lbs/ft (only applied to overhang area, a conservative assumption) MomArm = (3.25)/2 = 1.63 ft Torsion = 98(1.63) = 160 lbs*ft/ft Lateral Load = 160/3 = 53 lbs/ft Load = 75 lbs/ft MomArm = 3.25+1 = 4.25 Torsion = 75(4.25) = 319 lbs/ft Lateral Load = 319/3 = 106 lbs/ft

Walkway L.L.

(applied one foot beyond edge of deck)

Total Lateral L.L. = 53 + 106 = 159 lbs/ft

(only applied to 20 ft at center of section checked)

The top flange has a moment of inertia of 229 in4 or 314 in4, depending on flange thickness. The bottom flange has a moment of inertia of 314 in4 or 372 in4. The deflection in this example is checked at two places, halfway between the abutment and first diaphragm (Case 1) and halfway between the fifth and sixth diaphragm, which is near the center of the second span (Case 2). The girder is assumed to be progressively loaded as the deck is placed with the screed located at the center of the last section to be loaded. For analysis purposes only one unloaded section and at most two loaded sections, other than the section being checked, need to be included when calculating the deflections. This is a conservative simplification; actual deflections will be slightly less.

Case 1: Deflection at midspan of the first section in the case 1 model: Concrete Load Deflection Top Flange = 0.035 in Screed Load Deflection Top Flange = 0.124 in Live Load Deflection Top Flange = 0.061 in Concrete Load Deflection Bottom Flange = 0.025 in Screed Load Deflection Bottom Flange = 0.090 in Live Load Deflection Bottom Flange = 0.044 in

Rotation = (0.035 + 0.124 + 0.061 + 0.025 +0.090 + 0.044)/36 = 0.0105 radians Deflection at end of overhang = 0.0105(3.25)(12) = 0.41 in > 0.20 Deflection is too great. Case 2: Deflection at midspan of the third section of the case 2 model: Concrete Load Deflection Top Flange = 0.043 in Screed Load Deflection Top Flange = 0.182 in Live Load Deflection Top Flange = 0.100 in Concrete Load Deflection Bottom Flange = 0.031 in Screed Load Deflection Bottom Flange = 0.134 in Live Load Deflection Bottom Flange = 0.074 in

Rotation = (0.043 + 0.182 + 0.100 + 0.031 + 0.134 + 0.074)/36 = 0.0157 radians Deflection at end of overhang = 0.0157(3.25)(12) = 0.61 in > 0.20 Deflection is also too great, either the diaphragm spacing will need to be reduced or a smaller overhang used.

Once the deflections are satisfactory the diaphragm and its connection to the girder should be checked: The greatest reaction at a diaphragm is in Case 2 just to the left of the section that has the screed load applied to it. The reaction loads at this diaphragm are as follows: Top Flange Reaction Concrete Load = 2400 lbs Screed Load = 2790 lbs Live Load = 1900 lbs Concrete Load = 2410 lbs Screed Load = 2760 lbs Live Load = 1890 lbs

Bottom Flange Reaction

Assuming the diaphragm is centered on the girder web the net LRFD Service II slip critical moment and force on the bolt pattern is, Net factored moment = (3/2){1.0(2400 + 2410) + 1.3(2790 + 1900 + 2760 + 1890)} = 25,428 lbs*ft Net factored force = 1.0(2400 2410) + 1.3(2790 + 1900 2760 1890) = 42 lbs

Article 10.6 Page 1 of 1 6/2006 DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR SPREAD FOOTINGS ON ROCK
The design of spread footing on rock shall be in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications as summarized in the following procedure. General On rock, a linear pressure distribution is used for all limit states. This is because the rock will not be able to yield to form a more rectangular pressure distribution. The deformation of the rock will basically stay linear. The flexibility of the footing will affect this, but the linear distribution is the closest distribution to use. Service Limit State In the design of the footing reinforcement, the service limit state must be checked for crack control. Settlement does not need to be checked for footings on competent rock. As per Article 10.6.2.2.3d, elastic settlement on rock may generally be assumed to be less than . If settlements of this magnitude are unacceptable and a settlement analysis is required, there are no eccentricity requirements. There are no sliding requirements. The resistance factor is 1.0.

Strength Limit State The eccentricity requirements should be in accordance with Article 10.6.3.2.5. The resistance factors should be provided by the Geotechnical Engineer based upon his method of estimating the capacity of the rock. Sliding should be checked in accordance with Article 10.6.3.3. For equation 10.6.3.3-2, the friction angle shall be in accordance with Table 3.11.5.3-1.

Extreme Limit State The eccentricity requirements should be in accordance with Article 10.6.3.2.5 which limits the length of the pressure distribution under the footing is at least the footing length or width. This is to keep the footing from rocking too much. Sliding should be checked in accordance with Article 10.6.3.3. For equation 10.6.3.3-2, the friction angle shall be in accordance with Table 3.11.5.3-1.

Seismic Design of Abutments Article 11.6.5 allows the location of resultant of the reaction forces to within the middle to middle 0.8 of the footing base.

If there is calculated uplift on a pile, positive means of anchorage and 12" of embedment shall be provided. 2. If there is a possibility of scour under footings, use 12" of embedment. 3. Use 24" embedment in the case of stubby abutments where the superstructure is integral with the pile cap and rotation is accomplished by bending in the piles. 4. For encased pile bents, the cut-off elevation should be a minimum of 1' above normal water elevation to avoid cutting off piles under water. 5. The concrete cover at the sides of piles in encased pile bents shall be a minimum of 9". Pile spacing greater than 10' should be avoided.

Article 10.7.1.5 Page 1 of 1 4/2008 10.7.1.5 PILE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

The ultimate load capacity for driven steel H-pile or Pipe-pile shall not exceed: 1) The geotechnical capacity determined by an analysis of the foundation soils as recommended in the Foundation Investigation Report. 2) The structural capacity of the pile as determined by the Nominal Compressive Resistance per Article 6.9.4.1 of the AASHTO LRFD Design Specifications based on the pile acting as a column with the appropriate unsupported length. 3) 75% of the yield strength of the specified pile steel multiplied by the cross-sectional area of the pile.

Commentary
For the purpose of determining the structural capacity of the pile per Article 6.9.4.1the appropriate unsupported pile length for exposed pile bents should be based on the initial unsupported length plus the anticipated scour depth. For pile caps that are initially buried the appropriate unsupported pile length should be based on the anticipated scour depth below the bottom of the pile cap or seal concrete. A limit of 75% of the yield strength of the pile is imposed to avoid potential pile damage during driving. For economy 36 ksi steel should be specified in most cases because the large ultimate loads that are possible with 50 ksi steel are very difficult to achieve and verify with standard pile driving equipment.

Article 11.6.1.3 Page 1 of 5 4/2008 11.6.1.3 DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR INTEGRAL ABUTMENTS
Integral abutments, where appropriate, should be considered for most bridge projects in order to eliminate joints and bearings thereby simplifying construction and reducing maintenance problems. Integral abutments are defined as those abutments that are rigidly attached to both the superstructure and the supporting piles so that all thermal movements and girder end rotations are transferred from the superstructure through the abutment to the piles.

Design Limitations for the Use of Integral Abutments

Length: The total bridge length shall not exceed the following limits unless a more in-depth analysis is made. Concrete Structures 650 feet Steel Structures 350 feet For bridge skews of 25 degrees or less, no skew effects need to be considered. For skews greater than 25 degrees the forces tending to rotate the structure shall be accounted for in the design. Abutments shall be supported on a single row of steel H-piles, steel smooth hollow pipe pile or steel-encased concrete piles utilizing smooth steel tubes. Piles should be embedded into the abutment concrete at least 2 feet. The preferred orientation of the piles is for bending about the strong axis. On skewed bridges the pile flanges should remain parallel with the abutment.

Skew: Foundations:

Abutment Thickness: The minimum thickness of the abutment wall should be 3 feet in order to provide enough width to encase the piles and girders. Wing Walls: The wing walls should be cantilevered off of the abutments and shall be constructed parallel with the girders in order to minimize the soil pressure against the wings.

Pile Design Procedures

The number of piles in the abutment shall be based on the vertical load requirements. The total dead load reaction of the structure at the abutment shall be distributed to all piles equally. The live load reactions at each pile shall be determined by assuming the piles in the abutment act as a group:

R=

P Pex + N I

where: R = single pile live load reaction (KIPS) P = total live load reaction at the abutment, without impact (KIPS) N = number of piles in the abutment e = the eccentricity of the total live load relative to the center of the pile group (FT) x = the distance from a given pile to the center of the pile group (FT) I = the moment of inertia of the pile group (FT2) For vertical loads piles shall be designed in accordance with Article 10.7 of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications for Strength I. Lateral loads on the piles may need to be considered on bridges skewed more than 25 when required to resist the soil pressure forces tending to rotate the structure. Piles must be ductile enough to accommodate both thermal movements and dead load and live load rotations of the superstructure. The ductility of the piles may be checked using the following equations: For Steel H-pile:

Abutment Backwall Design Procedures

The total height of the abutment shall be as short as practical with a minimum of 3 feet below the fill slope and 2 feet clear between the bottom of the girders and the fill slope. The abutment shall be designed for both Strength I and Service I using the following cases: Bending of the abutment acting as a horizontal pile cap for vertical dead loads and live loads assuming that all piles are loaded equally. The maximum positive moment (bottom steel) will occur approximately in the center of the abutment when the live load reactions are concentrated near the center; one, two, or possibly more lanes should be checked for positive moment. The maximum negative moment will occur approximately in the center of the abutment when two lanes are placed at the outside edges of the structure, two lanes will govern on abutments up to 80 wide. For dead loads only the pile cap section of the abutment shall be considered effective and for live loads the full abutment (both pile cap and end diaphragm) may be considered effective.

Bending of the abutment acting as a continuous beam spanning between the girders under a soil pressure load. The full section of abutment (both pile cap and end diaphragm) may be used. For all design elements the soil pressure distribution may be assumed as the passive pressure for the top third of the abutment with the pressure varying linearly down to the at-rest pressure at the base of the abutment (strength I load factor for soil pressure of 1.00, 3rd Edition Article C10.5.5). This distribution is appropriate for concrete bridges up to 320 feet in length and steel bridges up to 120 feet in length. A more in-depth analysis of soil pressure distribution should be made for longer structures. The abutment need not be designed by the strut and tie model if the longitudinal reinforcement is determined by conventional beam analysis for each of the above cases and a minimum orthogonal grid of reinforcing bars is provided in accordance with Article 5.6.3.6.

Girder End Capacity

The capacity of the end of the girders shall be checked for negative moment using Strength I for steel and concrete girders with an additional check of Service III for prestressed concrete girders. The design load shall be determined by assuming the maximum soil pressure (strength I load factor of 1.00), as determined above, acting on the back of the abutment combined with the lateral pile reaction and moment resulting from thermal expansion (strength I load factor of 0.5). The resulting compression force and bending moment taken about the c.g. of the composite girder section shall be applied to the end of the girders. The loads shall be distributed equally to all girders. Also, for concrete girders, the tension force resulting from the lateral resistance of the piles due to contraction shall be used in the design of the longitudinal reinforcement of the girders in accordance with Article 5.8.3.5 (strength I load factor of 0.5).

Skew Affects
On structures with skews greater than 25 degrees, the tendency for the structure as a whole to rotate due to the non-concentric soil pressure forces acting against the abutments must be checked. A rotational moment about the center of the structure is induced by the soil pressure (strength I load factor of 1.00) acting on the abutment backwall at an angle normal to the backwall minus the soil-concrete interface friction angle;

= tan 1 (0.8 tan f )

(Article 10.6.3.4)

Article 11.6.1.3 Page 4 of 5 4/2008

Where: = soil-concrete friction angle f = internal soil friction angle If is greater than or equal to the bridge skew angle there will be no tendency for the structure to rotate and no further check is required. If is less than the bridge skew angle the magnitude of the induced rotational moment will be equal to the resultant soil force times the eccentricity of the opposing forces. The resultant soil force is based on the normal soil force (from assumed soil pressure distribution used for the abutment backwall design procedures) increased by the vector addition of the friction component. The eccentricity of these two opposing soil forces is equal to the bridge length times the sine of the difference between the bridge skew angle and the friction angle;

M RS = FRS (e RS )

FRS =

FNS cos

e RS = L sin( )

where: MRS = the soil pressure induced rotational moment FRS = resultant soil force eRS = the eccentricity of the opposing soil forces FNS = normal soil force based on the assumed soil pressure distribution = the soil-concrete friction angle L = bridge length = the bridge skew angle The resulting rotational moment must be resisted by a combination of the lateral pile resistance (strength I resistance factor of 0.55, ITD policy), and the soil force acting against the inside face of the wings at the acute corners (strength I resistance factor of 0.50, Table 10.5.5.2.2-1), as indicated in the sketch below. It can be assumed for simplicity that the resisting forces in the piles as well as the soil force against the wing walls is applied at right angles to the bridge centerline and their respective eccentricities calculated accordingly.
Bridge Length Lateral Pile Resistance Forces Soil Force Eccentricity

Soil Friction Force Resultant Soil Force

Normal Soil Force Soil Pressure Force on Wing at Acute Corner

Wing Wall Design

The wing walls shall be designed for at-rest pressure unless they are utilized to resist the rotational tendency of skewed bridges. In which case the wings at the acute corners shall be designed for the actual pressure required to stabilize the structure but need not exceed the passive pressure (strength I factor of 1.35).

Approach Slabs
Approach slabs shall be used on all integral abutment bridges with a total thermal movement of more than inch. This will result in approach slabs on all concrete girder bridges over 130 feet long and on all steel girder bridges over 65 feet long. The expansion joints at the ends of the approach slabs need only be sized to accommodate thermal expansion assuming the joints are constructed at 60 F with a maximum temperature of 80 F for concrete and 100 F for steel.

Article 11.6.1.3 Page 5 of 5 4/2008

Commentary
The allowable bridge length for integral abutments was determined by limiting the total thermal movement range to 4, which results in 2 of movement per abutment. Studies at Iowa State University in 1987 and at the University of Tennessee in 1996 have shown that for lateral displacements of H-piles up to 2 there is no reduction in vertical capacity of the pile. Therefore the only design requirements are vertical capacity and ductility, provided the piles remain embedded in the soil. (It is unlikely that a bridge would remain in service with an abutment that has scoured to the extent the piles become exposed for any significant length.) When the bridge is skewed more than 25 degrees there is also the design consideration for lateral capacity if it is assumed that the piles are used to resist skew induced rotation. It is preferred to orient H-piles so that thermal expansion and contraction causes bending about the strong axis. While the resulting forces induced in the abutment will be higher, the pile itself will handle larger deflections without flange buckling. The forces and moments induced in the pile due to thermal deflections should be determined based on the soil-pile interaction assuming the pile head is fixed against rotation. This can be done using the COM624 program or a similar program that takes into account the soil properties. In order to simplify details and provide sufficient room for reinforcement the piles on skewed bridges should also be skewed so that the flanges remain parallel with the abutments. Studies by the University of Tennessee in 1999 showed that piles with an embedment depth of 2 feet led to significantly lower stresses in the concrete and, in turn, to significantly less cracking at large values of lateral displacement when compared to piles embedded only 1 foot. The equations used to determine pile ductility are from, Rational Design Approach for Integral Abutment Piles, Transportation Research Record 1233 (year 1983). The assumed soil pressure distribution at the abutments, which is based on passive pressure for the top third of the abutment varying to at-rest pressure at the base, was developed by Maine as the result of studies done in 1992 where the pressure was monitored behind an integral abutment for one year. Because the appropriate maximum span length for this distribution is not known it is limited here to a deflection into the soil of a inch, assuming the abutments are constructed at 60 F. The strut and tie model can become complicated for an abutment with a large number of piles and several models may be necessary for the different live load cases. Because the minimum reinforcement requirements of Article 5.6.3.6 almost always governs when checking the strut and tie model it is sufficient to design the main steel for bending using conventional analysis and then provide the orthogonal grid of minimum reinforcement required for strut and tie. Skew affects do not need to be considered for skews less than 25 degrees. The soil-to-concrete friction angle at the abutment will always be at least 25 degrees; therefore soil friction alone will stabilize the structure. The ultimate lateral capacity of the piles, for the purpose of resisting rotational effects, shall be defined as the lateral force developed in the pile when subjected to a lateral displacement of 2. As stated above this is the limiting displacement for which there is no reduction in vertical capacity of the pile. Approach slabs are needed to prevent excessive compaction behind the abutments as well as provide an expansion joint that will minimize, if not prevent, the approach pavement from shoving, settling and cracking. It also isolates the joint away from the main structure where damage due to a leaking joint will be minimized. The joint width at the end of the approach slab where it rests on the sleeper beam should only be large enough to prevent the joint from completely closing during hot weather, with an allowance for the minimum compressed width of the joint seal material. It is not necessary to design the joint for the full movement range that would be required in a typical joint design.

Where interference between the piles and soil reinforcement occurs, the reinforcements must be designed around the piles, and the piles treated as backfill obstructions. A clear distance of no less than 1.5 feet from the back of the wall facing to the edge of the nearest pile or pile casing shall be provided. ITDs Special Provision further stipulates that 15 is the maximum angle that reinforcement can be skewed from a line perpendicular to the wall.

DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR CAST-IN-PLACE STIFFLEGS AND BOX CULVERTS
The design of concrete cast-in-place culverts shall be in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications as summarized in the following procedure.
Design Span Design Span

Box Culvert

Maximum Span for Stiffleg = 25 feet

Maximum Span for Box Culvert = 15 feet

When the maximum span for the structure type is exceeded, a different structure type or multiple cells should be evaluated. Class 40 concrete and Grade 60 reinforcement should be used on all designs. Class 40B should be used for the footings or floors, barrel walls and wing walls. Class 40A should be used for deck slabs with less than 2 of fill and Class 40B when the fill is 2 or greater. When the distance between the finished grade and the top of deck is less than 4 between the paved shoulders the concrete cover over the top layer of reinforcement should be 2 and all reinforcement within 4 of the surface should be epoxy coated. When the fill is greater than 4 but less than 2 the cover over the top layer of reinforcement should be 2 however no epoxy steel is required. When the fill is 2 or greater the cover should be 2 with no epoxy steel. Main reinforcement for skews greater than 25 (Article 9.7.1.3) should be placed perpendicular to the centerline of the culvert. For skews 25 or less, the main reinforcement should be placed on the skew and the design span measured along the skew. Fillets should have a minimum leg of 6. Walls should be double reinforced and have a minimum thickness of 10. Slab thickness should be a minimum of 8 or (S +10)/30 whichever is greater (Table 2.5.2.6.3-1). The span length to determine the minimum thickness is the clear span between walls. Construction joints with keyways should be placed transverse to the barrel and should be located in the walls, top slab, and bottom slab. Joint spacing should not exceed 40. In lieu of a construction joint in the walls, the contractor may substitute an approved contraction joint. The minimum footing width for stifflegs should be 2 on rock and 3 on other materials. The design of culverts should meet the criteria for Strength - 1 and Service - 1 limit states.

Concrete D.L. Assume 150 lbs/ft3 for the concrete and reinforcement (Table 3.5.1-1 & C3.5.1). Wearing Surface Assume a future overlay of 6 with a weight of 140 lbs/ft3 (Table 3.5.1-1). Earth Fill D.L. Use the density given in the Phase IV report. When not given assume 140 lbs/ft3 (rolled gravel from table 3.5.1-1). The earth loads should be modified to account for soil-structure interaction. The soil-structure interaction factor is as follows (Art. 12.11.2.2): For embankment installations (the typical case), Fe = 1 + 0.2(H/Bc) Fe shall not exceed 1.15 for installations with compacted fill along the sides of the box section, or 1.40 otherwise. Where, H = fill height above the deck surface Bc = out-to-out dimension of the culvert span For trench installations, Ft = CbBd2/HBc Fe Where, Cb = coefficient from figure 12.11.2.2.1-3 Bd = horizontal width of trench

Earth Pressure Shall be assumed to be linearly proportional to the depth of the soil based on the at rest pressure coefficient taken as k o = 1- sin f where f is the internal friction angle of the soil (Art. 3.11.5.2). Earth Surcharge When the structure is buried the fill above the deck is considered an earth surcharge and a constant uniform horizontal earth pressure shall be applied in addition to the basic earth pressure. The uniform horizontal pressure due to earth surcharge should be based on the at rest coefficient ko (Art. 3.11.6.1). Live Load Surcharge At the barrel wall live load surcharge shall be determined as follows (based on table 3.11.6.4-1): Up to 5 H: heq = 4.0 From 5 to 10 H: heq = 4- 0.2(H-5) From 10 to 20 H: heq = 3- 0.1(H-10) Higher than 20 H: heq = 2.0 Where heq is the equivalent height of soil in feet and H is the distance between the surface and the bottom of the footing in feet. Live Loads Where the span exceeds 15 feet (Art. 3.6.1.3.3) the live loads shall be either a design truck in combination with a lane load or the design tandem in combination with a lane load (Art. 3.6.1.2). Where the span does not exceed 15 feet, only the axle loads of the design truck or design tandem shall be applied (Art. 3.6.1.3.3). The live load applied shall be a single loaded lane with the single lane multiple presence factor applied to the load (Art. 12.11.2.1). Impact shall be 0.33(1.0 0.125DE) but shall not be less than 0.0 where DE is the minimum depth of earth cover over the structure (Art. 3.6.2.2). Impact shall only be applied to the truck or tandem (Art. 3.6.2.1).

Article 12.11 Page 3 of 6 7/2009

Fill less than 2 (Article 4.6.2.10): Case 1. Traffic Travels Parallel to the Span (normal case) Analysis shall be based on a single loaded lane with the single lane multiple presence factor. The axle load shall be distributed to the top slab for moment, thrust, and shear as follows: E = 96 + 1.44(S) Espan = Lt + LLDF(H) Where E = lateral distribution width perpendicular to the span (inches) Espan = longitudnal distribution length parallel to the span (inches) S = the clear span length (ft) Lt = length of the tire contact area parallel to the span, 10 inches (Art. 3.6.1.2.5) H = depth of fill from top of culvert to top of pavement (inches) LLDF = fill distribution factor of 1.15 or 1.00 (Art. 3.6.1.2.6) The equivalent strip width used for the top slab should also be used for the walls and floor (Art. 12.11.2.3). Shear strength may be considered adequate when the slab is designed by the above procedure (see commentary). Case 2. Traffic Travels Perpendicular to the Span Live load shall be distributed according to Article 4.6.2.1 for concrete decks with primary strips perpendicular to the direction of traffic. Fill greater than 2: Wheel loads may be considered to be uniformly distributed over a rectangular area with sides equal to the dimension of the tire contact area increased by 1.15 times the depth of fill in granular backfill, or the depth of fill in all other cases. The lane load may be distributed over 12 feet in all cases. The tire contact area is 20 inches wide and 10 inches long. Where such areas overlap the total load shall be uniformly distributed over the area within the resultant perimeter. Multiple presence factors shall be used where applicable. Live load may be neglected where the depth of fill is over 8 feet and exceeds the total length of the structure. Where the live load moment based on distribution through fill depths more than 2 exceeds the moment calculated by Art. 4.6.2.10, the moment calculated by Art. 4.6.2.10 should be used. (Art. 3.6.1.2.6) Shear design when fill is greater than 2 (Art. 5.14.5.3): Vc = [0.0676(fc`)0.5 + 4.6(As/bde)(Vude/Mu)]bde But Vc shall not exceed 0.126(fc`)0.5(bde) where: As = area of tension steel (in2) de = effective depth from extreme compression to tension centroid (in) Vu = shear from factored loads (kips) Mu = moment from factored loads occurring simultaneously with Vu (kip-in) b = design width (in) For single span stifflegs and single cell boxes only, Vc need not be less than 0.0948(fc`)0.5(bde) Vu may be calculated at either the distance dv (Art. 5.8.3.2) from the face of the wall or at the end of the fillet. dv = center of compression force to center of tension force but not less than 0.9de or 0.72h. (in kips) Vc > Vu = 0.85

Article 12.11 Page 4 of 6 7/2009

Water Pressure Culverts should be designed assuming static water pressure on the inside of the walls for the full design height. Analysis The analysis should be based on the equivalent strip method assuming a rigid frame fixed against lateral movement at the base and free to side-sway at the top (classical force and displacement method). The design span length and wall height should be based on the centerline-of-member to centerline-of-member dimensions. For simplification in determining the shears and moments in the structure the foundation soil pressure on box culverts may be considered to be uniformly distributed across the floor for all load cases (ITD Bridge Section policy). Where monolithic haunches inclined at 45 are used the negative reinforcement in the walls and slabs may be proportioned based on the flexural moment at the intersection of the haunch and uniform depth member (Art. 12.11.4.2). Reinforcement Minimum Reinforcement (Art. 5.7.3.3.2); Transverse Distribution Reinforcement; (Art. 5.14.4.1)

Min As shall be sufficient to resist 1.2Mcr or 1.33Mu whichever is less Adist= As/(L)0.5 but no more than 0.5As

where As is the required positive moment reinforcement and L is the span length in feet For crack control (Art. 5.7.3.4); e = 0.75 to be used in equation 5.7.3.4-1

Note: When calculating the Service-1 limit state stresses in the reinforcement for the purpose of satisfying crack control requirements the compression thrust forces in the culvert members may be considered in order to take advantage of the resulting reduction in tensile stresses. The equations presented in the commentary for Article 12.11.3 may be used for this purpose. Edge Beam Design The Live Load on edge beams shall be one line of wheels (either truck or tandem) plus a tributary portion of the lane load (Art. 4.6.2.1.4b). The tributary portion of the lane load shall be considered to be a uniform load of 64 lbs/ft2 on either the effective edge beam width, or in the case where the edge beam is skewed relative to the main slab reinforcement, on the same tributary area as defined for dead load. The effective edge beam width for culverts with main slab reinforcement parallel with the edge beam shall be the distance between the edge of deck and the inside face of the barrier or curb, plus 12, plus one-quarter of the strip width, E, determined above. The effective width shall not exceed either one-half the full strip width or 72 (Art. 4.6.2.1.4b). The dead load should be the weight of all structure components and the fill on the effective width. When the end of the culvert is skewed relative to the main slab reinforcement the dead load applied to the edge beam shall also include the weight of all loads on the tributary area at the end of the culvert as shown below. These loads may be applied to the edge beam as a uniform load. The edge beam should be designed as a simple span with a span length based on center-of-wall to center-of-wall along the skew.

Footing Pressures The dead load footing pressures on the footings of stifflegs and the floor of box culverts may be uniformly distributed to the total footing area. The live load footing pressures may be assumed to act on a length of footing equal to the width of the design lane plus 1.15 times the distance from the surface to the bottom of the footing (this is the same

Article 12.11 Page 5 of 6 7/2009

distribution rate as the live load on the fill over a buried structure). Overlapping areas from more than one lane loaded shall be uniformly distributed over the length of the overlapping regions, multiple presence factors shall be applied where applicable. The total design loaded length shall not exceed the actual footing length. The footing pressure should be assumed to be uniform across the width of the footing or floor. Foundation design shall be in accordance with Section 10 of the LRFD Code.

Wing Wall Design Live load surcharge shall be applied where vehicular load is expected to act on the surface of the backfill within a distance equal to one-half the wall height behind the back face of the wall. Heq, the equivalent height of soil in feet, should be based on Table 3.11.6.4-2. The typical wing wall on a spread footing is free to deflect at the top under soil pressure and may therefore be designed using soil pressures based on the active state. The soil pressure coefficient, ka, may be determined by the Coulomb method from the information in the Phase IV report. Overturning: For foundations on soil, the location of the resultant of the factored strength-1 and extreme event-2 (vehicle collision at rail, if present) forces shall be within the middle one-half of the base. On rock the resultant shall be within the middle three-fourths (Art. 11.6.3.3). Sliding: For footings on cohesionless soils the factored resistance against failure by sliding may be taken as (Art. 10.6.3.4): RR = T(V tan f ) where: RR = factored resistance T = 0.8 for strength-1 (from table 10.5.5.2.2-1) T = 1.0 for extreme event-2 (Art. 10.5.5.3) V = total factored vertical load (minimum factors) f = internal friction angle of soil

The factored (strength-1 and extreme event-2) lateral loads shall not exceed RR . Wing Wall Footings: Foundation design shall be in accordance with Section 10 of the LRFD Code.

Commentary:

The LRFD design requirements for shear in slabs with less than 2 feet of fill are not consistent. Article 5.14.5.2 states that the provisions of Article 5.13.3.6 shall apply which indicates shear design is required. However if the live load distribution of Article 4.6.2.3 is used, which is a less conservative distribution than Article 4.6.2.10 for spans over about 9 feet, slabs may be considered satisfactory for shear (Art. 5.14.4.1). In addition it has been ITD practice for many years, in accordance with the Standard Specifications, to consider slabs designed with less than 2 feet of fill to be adequate for shear. Because ITD has had a good history of performance with this design procedure it will remain ITD policy. For fills over 2 feet the provisions of 5.14.5.3 shall also apply to stifflegs as well as box culverts. AASHTO is silent for the most part on cast-in-place concrete three sided frames however structurally they behave and are designed more like a four sided box culvert than a simply supported slab bridge. The culvert test results for shear shown in the commentary indicate that frame structures with the walls integral with the slab behave differently than simple slabs.

Article 13.4 Page 1 of 2 6/2006 13.4 BRIDGE RAILINGS - GENERAL

One of the standard rail types as shown in the Bridge Design Manual Standard Drawings shall be shown on the plans, unless there is a clearly provable advantage in doing otherwise. Among those types, selection shall be made with due consideration of economy, aesthetics, Level of Service, and the preference of the District Engineer. The following table indicates the test level of ITD standard railings. Test Levels are defined in Article 13.7.2. Bridge Railing Concrete Parapet Combination Rail Two Tube Curb Mount Rail W-Beam Railing Delaware Retrofit Iowa Retrofit Test Level TL-4 TL-3 TL-4 TL-3 TL-4 TL-4

NEW CONSTRUCTION Concrete parapet is the preferred rail type for safety reasons. When an overlay is placed on the structure during original construction, the height of the parapet should be 2'-8" from the top of the overlay. Other rail types should be considered to meet Context Sensitive Design criteria. Concrete parapets and median barriers shall be constructed perpendicular to the roadway cross slope for superelevation rates up to 6%. Bridges with superelevation rates greater than 6% shall be evaluated on a case-by-case basis. For superelevation rates greater than 6%, revise the Notes on the Standard Drawing as follows: Concrete parapet shall be constructed so that the outside face is in a vertical plane. Height control shall be at the inside (traffic) face. End faces that fit up to precast concrete end sections shall be constructed perpendicular to the roadway grade. Concrete median barrier shall be constructed vertically. Combination railings shall be used on a raised sidewalk when there is no barrier between the roadway and sidewalk. Pedestrian/Bicycle Railing shall be used when a traffic barrier separates the roadway from the sidewalk. W-Beam railing may be used if the site meets TL-3 criteria and the span length is less than 40. REHABILITATION The following options should be considered on a deck rehab project: DO NOTHING When no major work is being done on the bridge and the existing rail is continuous and designed for a 10k rail load, then the existing rail is acceptable. The railing does not require a successful crash test, but the connection to the roadway railing should be modified to meet current standards. RETROFIT When no major work is being done on the bridge and the existing rail was not designed for a 10k rail load, the existing rail should be retrofit using the metal rail details shown on G-2-F in the Roadway Standard Plans, the Delaware Retrofit, or the Iowa rail retrofit. See Rail Standard drawings B13.7A, B13.7B, B13.7C, B13.7D, and B13.7E. No design calculations are needed to check the deck slab, but the exterior girder should be checked for the rail dead load and truck wheel load.

Article 13.4 Page 2 of 2 6/2006

UP-GRADE Up-grading the existing rail should be considered when the work will be cost effective; e.g., when the deck slab is replaced. One of the standard rail types shown in the Bridge Design Manual should be used. The deck slab and exterior girder shall meet the requirements of the current AASHTO code.

Article A13.4.1 Page 1 of 1 4/2002 A13.4.1 DECK OVERHANG DESIGN

STANDARD CONCRETE PARAPET Bridge Section policy for the reinforcement of deck overhangs that support ITD standard concrete parapet shall be the reinforcement for the empirical deck design requirements for the top mat (#4 rebar at 12) with the addition of #6 rebar spaced between the standard #4 bars. This shall be considered adequate for those areas at least 8 feet from any joint or discontinuity in the parapet. For areas less than 8 feet from joints or discontinuities in the parapet two #6 bars shall be evenly spaced between the #4 bars. The length of the additional #6 rebar shall be such that the bar extends at least halfway between the exterior girder and the first interior girder. This policy only applies to 8 inch thick decks with a minimum overhang of 24 inches from the centerline of the exterior girder to a maximum overhang of 72 inches.

STANDARD CONCRETE RAIL MOUNTED ON WALLS, CURBS OR EDGE BEAMS For the design of retaining walls and curbs or edge beams supporting standard concrete parapet the following design procedure may be used (also applicable for decks supporting curbs or edge beams where parapets are constructed on the curb or edge beam, i.e. buried decks): For walls and curbs only design Case 1 of Article A13.4.1, extreme event limit state, need be considered. The design loads are specified in Table A13.2-1. Design Case 3 need only be considered for the design of decks that support curb or edge beams with parapets. The loads for Design Case 3 shall be in accordance with Article 3.6.1, strength limit state. Design Case 1 Loads for Traffic Railings. Ft = 54 kips (from table A13.2-1 for TL-4)

For the general case, at least 8 feet from parapet joints or discontinuities, the design loads may be distributed over a length of wall, curb or deck as follows: Em = 11 + 2.67x Et = 6 + 2.67x

(for horizontal members only)

For the ends of parapet sections within 8 feet of joints or discontinuities the design loads may be distributed over a length of wall, curb or deck as follows: Em = 7.5 + 0.5x Et = 10 + 4x

(for horizontal members only)

where: Em = the length of wall, curb or deck the design moment is distributed over in feet. Et = the length of deck the design tension force is distributed over in feet. x = the distance from the base of rail to the design location in feet, either vertical or horizontal or both. In any case the load distribution length shall not exceed the actual member length. In lieu of the above method the provisions of Article A13.4.2 may be used where applicable.

Commentary
The above distribution equations where derived from the results of an elastic finite element analysis using the LARSA structural analysis program. These equations are based on the resulting tension and bending moment in the most severely stressed 6 width of the supporting member. If these equations are directly applied to the case of a parapet supported on a standard 8 thick deck overhang the calculated area of reinforcement at the face of rail would be 0.76 in2/ft, while a #4 and #6 bar at 12 inch spacings equals 0.64 in2/ft which is 84% of the calculated value. This is considered acceptable, however, because the LARSA model conservatively assumes an elastic distribution while the extreme event limit state relies on the ultimate strength of the supporting deck, which cannot be realized without significant yielding of the reinforcement (the strain at ultimate in this case is 580% of the yield strain), thereby resulting in a greater width of load distribution.

Expansion joint devices are designed to accommodate structure movement, provide smooth and quiet passage of traffic, prevent water runoff (particularly deicing chemicals) from damaging the supporting structural elements, and provide a long service life. The following selection criteria cover the expansion joint systems most commonly used in Idaho: SMALL MOVEMENT JOINTS Small movement joints can be utilized where the total movement is approximately 1"-2" and the skew is less than 30. Joint types include compression seals, silicone sealants, and asphalt plug joints. Compression Seals are the preferred joint type for new construction. Silicone Sealant joints should be limited to repair/rehabilitation projects. Compression Seals are continuous preformed elastomeric sections with extruded internal web systems and are held in place by mobilizing friction against adjacent vertical faces. They must be sized and installed to always be in a state of compression. The nominal uncompressed width of Compression seals should not exceed 4and the skew should not exceed 30. Seals should be designed according to the Selection Criteria for Compression Seals in A14.6. The following is a list of approved joints: MANUFACTURER WATSON BOWMAN & ACME D.S. BROWN

STYLE WA Series CV Series

Silicone sealants are poured in place directly over a foam backer rod placed in the expansion gap. The cured silicone sealant joint can accommodate tensile movements of up to 100% and compressive movements of up to 50% of the sealant width at installation. A minimum recess is required from the top of the pavement to the top of the silicone sealant in order to prevent tire traffic from contacting and debonding the sealant from the substrate. The following is a list of approved joints: MANUFACTURER DOW CORNING

STYLE Dow 902 RCS

Asphaltic plug joints consist of polymer modified asphalt (PMA) installed within a blockout over a steel plate. The steel plate spans across the expansion gap to retain the PMA during its installation. Application guidelines must be carefully followed to assure successful performance. They should not be used for joints having large skew angles, joints subjected to large rotations, joints subjected to differential vertical movements (for example, longitudinal separation joints), or in situations where the total height of the PMA above the steel plate is less than 2. Asphaltic plug joints should not be used in situations where the adjacent pavement is subjected to significant acceleration or deceleration (off ramps, traffic signals) because the PMA has a tendency to creep out of the blockout and this tendency is amplified by any horizontal loading.

Polymer concrete headers are recommended at compression seal and silicone sealant joints. Polymer concrete provides tensile strength and toughness to resist traffic impact. Proprietary elastomeric concretes can also be used to further enhance impact resistance. Patent infringement issues may result when generic polymer concrete is used in combination with a Dow Corning silicone sealant.

MEDIUM MOVEMENT JOINTS Strip Seals are the preferred system for medium movement joints. Maximum allowable joint opening, measured in the direction of traffic, is 4". This is to improve ride and reduce hazard to motorcycles and bicycles. Strip Seals should be designed according to the Selection Criteria For Strip Seals in A14.6. The following factors that affect movement should be considered in determining the joint size: Creep Construction tolerances Temperature range Bearing type and direction of allowed movements Skew External restraints Movement from earthquake is not generally considered. When designing joint modifications, review past inspection reports for recorded joint movement history. Adjustment of the expansion device to compensate for bridge temperature at time of installation must be possible. The majority of joint failures have been due to failure of the anchorage system. Complete full-width units should be shipped to the job site. Lengths up to 60' can normally be shipped without difficulty. No joints in the continuous rubber seal should be allowed. One pre-approved manufacturers shop vulcanized splice per seal is permitted. Closely analyze joints at sidewalks and parapets with respect to leakage, constructibility, and maintenance. At highly skewed locations, an effort should be made to reduce skew to diminish joint complexity. Structural steel extruded shapes with a minimum thickness of 1" should be used. Aluminum extruded shapes should not be used. The following is a list of approved joints: MANUFACTURER WATSON BOWMAN & ACME D.S. BROWN

STYLE SE Series A2R Series

EXTRUSION TYPE E or A SSA2

LARGE MOVEMENT JOINTS Modular Expansion devices are the preferred system for movements in excess of 4". The skew angle should be less than 30and the movement per sealing element should not exceed 3. The same criteria for Medium Movement Joints apply to modular joints, in addition to the following. All large expansion devices should be designed for the movements required plus a safety factor of 15%. This excess allowance is intended to prevent destruction of the joint due to unpredictable movements at a given location. Consideration should be given to accommodating some earthquake movement. All elastomeric sealing components shall be continuous full width of each roadway, including curb treatment. The entire joint device should be shipped completely assembled to the jobsite. For large expansion joints specify all accepted name brands that provide good performance. Do not specify "OR APPROVED EQUAL".

Generic details are provided for both the Silicone Sealant and Asphaltic Plug joints. MAINTENANCE Consideration should be given to the maintainability of the joints (particularly for movements over 4"), availability and replaceability of parts, and provisions for access to reach these parts. WIDENING AND REHABILITATION During the rehabilitation of bridge decks, it is recommended that existing joints and structure layout be studied to determine which joints can be eliminated or what modifications are necessary to revamp those joints that remain to provide an adequate functional system. Some latitude will be necessary on joint type selection for rehabilitation projects. SNOW PLOWS Snow plows have a fixed blade angle between 28- 35(left-forward). To minimize the possibility of having a snowplow blade drop into a joint, joint skews between 25-38 (left-forward) should be avoided. If not avoidable, modify the joint so the blade can pass over the joint without snagging. SUBSTRUCTURE PROTECTION Concrete surfaces beneath expansion joints should be protected with a penetrating water repellant sealer that conforms to Section 511, Type C system. Faces of backwalls, beam seat surfaces, and exposed faces of the cap should be protected on abutments. Pier surfaces to be protected include the beam seat and pier cap. Areas to be protected should be shown on the contract plans.

RECOMMENDATIONS Eliminate expansion joints where feasible. Use monolithic abutments on smaller bridges. Use continuity to reduce the number of joints on larger bridges. The following joint types should be used for the range of movement shown: JOINT TYPE Compression Seal Silicone Sealant Asphaltic Plug Strip Seal Modular Joints TOTAL MOVEMENT 1" - 2" 1" - 2" 1" - 2" 2" - 4" 4"

As a guideline, bridges with the following lengths may be designed continuous without expansion joints at end abutments if the skew is less than 30. STRUCTURE TYPE Steel Structures Post-tensioned Concrete Cast-In-Place Concrete Prestressed Girder LENGTH 300' 400' 400' 400'

Compression seals should not be used when the skew exceeds 30. Joints with skews greater than 30 require special consideration - see "Selection Criteria for Strip Seals". To prevent snowplow blades from dropping into a joint, left-forward skews of 25-38 should be avoided.

Article 14.7.2 Sheet 1 of 1 6/2001 TFE/STAINLESS STEEL EXPANSION BEARING UNITS

GENERAL The design of TFE/stainless steel bearings shall be in accordance the AASHTO LRFD Bridge design Specifications, Section 14. This type of bearing shall be used when elastomeric bearing pads become too large. The TFE/stainless steel surface shall be designed to accommodate the horizontal movement of the bridge. The elastomeric pad shall be designed for the compressive stresses and rotation.

Article 14.7.5 & 14.7.6 Page 1 of 3 7/2009 DESIGN GUIDELINES FOR ELASTOMERIC BEARINGS
Elastomeric bearings shall consist of either plain elastomeric pads or steel-reinforced laminated pads. The bearings may be designed by either Method A (Article 14.7.6) or Method B (Article 14.7.5) of the AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications. Method A is the required design procedure for plain elastomeric pads. Method B is the preferred method of design for steel-reinforced laminated pads. Design Method B and/or the use of Grade 4 elastomer requires that a long term load test be preformed on at least 10% of the completed bearings per ITD Standard Specifications, Subsection 711.02 (5e). When Method B or Grade 4 elastomer is used it should be clearly noted in the plans to ensure that the correct testing is performed. The elastomeric material shall be specified by its hardness and grade when designing by Method A. Most bearing designs for Method A should be based on 60 durometer elastomer, Grade 3. The shear modulus for 60 durometer elastomer shall be assumed to range from 130 psi to 200 psi, with the least favorable value being used for the particular design parameter being considered. When designing by Method B the elastomeric material shall be specified by shear modulus and grade. The shear modulus should be specified as 130 psi with the design value increased or decreased by 15% whichever is the least favorable value for the particular parameter being considered. Grade 4 elastomer should be specified when the bridge is located in low temperature Zone D, if Grade 3 is used in Zone D the other components of the bridge must be designed to resist 1.5 times the shear force determined by Article 14.6.3.1 when a low friction sliding surface is used or 4 times this shear force for a nonsliding surface (see Article 14.7.5.2). Zone D for Idaho shall be defined as any area above an elevation of 3800 feet or any location in Bonner or Boundary County. Live Load reactions for bearing design shall be based on the girder distribution factor for shear, Article 4.6.2.2.3. In calculating the live load rotations the whole structure cross-section, acting as a unit, may be used. All loads and rotations used in bearing design shall be determined using the Service I limit state including dynamic load allowance (IM).

Bearing Design Criteria for Prestressed/Precast Concrete Girders

For the purpose of simplification all girder reactions may be based on simple span analysis, even if the girders are made continuous for composite loads. However, the live load rotations may still be determined assuming continuous action. The instantaneous compressive deflection (LL and IM only) shall be less than 1/8. The long term compressive deflection due to dead load including creep shall be limited to 3/16 (the value of 3/16 for the allowable long term compressive deflection is considered acceptable for smoothness of ride without restricting the design of the bearings unnecessarily). For expansion bearings without a sliding surface shear deformation shall be determined from the combined effects of thermal, creep and shrinkage movements of the structure. The thermal movement shall be based on 65% of the total design thermal range (LRFD Article 3.12.3.1). A creep and shrinkage factor of 0.002 may be used in lieu of a more precise calculation. For bearings with a stainless steel TFE sliding surface the shear deformation shall be determined from the shear force calculated by multiplying Dead Load reaction with the coefficient of friction for the appropriate bearing surface type in accordance with Table 14.7.2.5-1 of the LRFD specifications. Combined compression, rotation and shear shall be checked by assuming Service I reactions are applied to the bearing in combination with Live Load rotation and initial lack of parallelism as defined below. Dead load rotation need not be included since the internal prestress force produces an end rotation that is at least as great as the dead load rotation and in the opposite direction, thereby canceling the effect of the dead load rotation.

Article 14.7.5 & 14.7.6 Page 2 of 3 7/2009

Live Load Rotation shall be taken as the rotation due to all design lanes on the structure being loaded in a manner that produces the maximum rotation and assuming the load is distributed to all girders equally. Dynamic load allowance shall be included. When combining compression and rotation the Live Load reaction may be either the maximum load or the load associated with the rotation. Initial Lack of Parallelism a rotation of 0.005 radians shall be assumed due to construction tolerances; this initial lack of parallelism includes the net difference between the dead load girder end rotation and the prestress end rotation. However this is not sufficient in many cases to include the effects of the roadway profile grade, consequently the beam seats of a precast concrete girder should be constructed on the same slope as the girder. (The slope of the girder is defined here as the difference in bearing seat elevations of the two girder ends divided by the length of the girder; this is not necessarily the same as the roadway grade.)

Bearing Design Criteria for Steel Girders

Compressive stress shall be determined from the combined Service I reactions as determined from the structural model used for the girder design. The instantaneous compressive deflection (live load and impact only) shall be less than 1/8. The long term compressive deflection due to dead load including creep shall be limited to 3/16. Shear deformation shall be determined based on 65% of the total design thermal range (LRFD Article 3.12.3.1). For bearings with a stainless steel TFE sliding surface the shear deformation shall be determined from the shear force calculated by multiplying Dead Load reaction with the coefficient of friction for the appropriate bearing surface type in accordance with Table 14.7.2.5-1 of the LRFD specifications. Combined compression and rotation requirements shall be checked by assuming the Dead Load and Live Load reactions, as determined above, are applied to the bearing in combination with the Dead Load rotation (for non-cambered girders only), Live Load rotation and initial lack of parallelism as defined below: Dead Load Rotations need only be included for girders constructed of rolled sections that have not been cambered. Cambered girders should have no net dead load rotation. Live Load Rotation shall be taken as the rotation due to all design lanes on the structure being loaded in a manner that produces the maximum rotation and assuming the load is distributed to all girders equally. Dynamic load allowance shall be included. Initial Lack of Parallelism a rotation of 0.005 radians shall be assumed due to construction tolerances. However this is not sufficient in many cases to include the effects of the roadway profile grade. A beveled sole plate shall be used to compensate for grade. Consequently the bearing surfaces on the abutments and piers should be constructed level for steel structures.

Bearing Details
Steel reinforced elastomeric bearings shall consist of alternating layers of a minimum of 14 gage A36 steel and neoprene bonded together. All internal layers of neoprene shall be of equal thickness, there is no limit on the maximum thickness of internal layers as there was in previous specifications provided all design criteria are met. However, the minimum thickness of internal layers should be 3/16 so that a minimum external layer does not violate the requirement to be no more than 70% of the thickness of an internal layer (Article 14.7.5.1). Exterior layers shall have a minimum thickness of 1/8 to provide enough cover to protect the reinforcement. Sole plates for steel girders shall be welded to the bottom flange to provide a level surface for the elastomeric pads to bear against. Sole plates shall be beveled to compensate for the longitudinal grade of the bridge. Sole plates shall be detailed with enough length (in the direction of the span) to accommodate construction tolerances.

Article 14.7.5 & 14.7.6 Page 3 of 3 7/2009 Information for Required Testing
All steel reinforced elastomeric bearings are to be tested for the Short-Duration Compression Test (subsection 711.02 {5d}). In order to perform this test the maximum design load for each bearing size and type is required. Therefore the method (A or B) that was used in design, along with the maximum design load for each size and type of bearing, must be called out on the bearing detail sheet so that all the information for fabrication and testing is available in one place.

Commentary In most cases Method B will result in significantly smaller and thinner bearing pads and although it requires more rigorous testing it will result in a more practical sized bearing.

Revisions July 2009 Revision to specify material by shear modulus for Method B and the definition of thermal movement to comply with 2008 interims.

Article 15.1 Page 1 of 2 5/2004 CHECKING PROCEDURE FOR PRESTRESSED GIRDER SHOP DRAWINGS
The following is a list of items that should be checked to insure a complete and thorough review of prestressed girder shop drawings. Submittal Data Strand Certification Strand type (stress relieved or low relaxation) Ultimate strength Strand Area Modulus of elasticity Jacking Force/Gauge Pressure Data from the calibration test and a graph or equation representing the relationship between jacking force and gauge pressure shall be included. Bed Layout Total length of strand being tensioned Hold-down point locations with horizontal and vertical dimensions Hold-up point locations with horizontal and vertical dimensions Elongation Calculations Elongation of each strand to be measured and the corresponding gauge pressure Checking Procedure The tensioning method varies with each fabricator and the method of calculating the elongations varies accordingly. Jack Data

Jacking data shall fit the graph or equation submitted and the jack used in the test shall be the jack used for tensioning.

Strand Data Strand data shall match the certification sheet. The prestressing manufacturer must be reminded in the review letter that if the actual strand properties being used vary by more than 5% from the assumed values in the calculations then new elongation calculations will have to be made. Initial Prestress Force An initial force and initial gauge pressure shall be given. This is the force in the strand before any elongation measurements are made. Final Prestress Force This is the desired force in the strand after all the elongation losses have occurred. Low relaxation strand Pf = 0.75x270xstrand area Stress relieved strand Pf = 0.70x270xstrand area Calculated Elongations i = initial elongation = Pi L/AE f = final elongation = Pf L/AE Elongation Losses Elongation losses are treated differently depending on when they occur. There are three different times an elongation loss can occur: a. Before the strand is seated, B (dead-end seating or abutment deflection due to the jacking in progress). b. When the strand is seated, S (strand slipping in the chuck when released). c. After the strand is seated, A (abutment deflection due to subsequent jacking of other strands).

Article 15.1 Page 2 of 2 5/2004

The values for the three different losses should be given since they are unique to each prestressing yard.

Gauge Pressure for Straight Strands Use the gauge pressure vs. jacking force graph or equation and solve for the gauge pressure. Fj = jacking force = (f + S + A) AE/L Elongation for Straight Strands Measured before seating Measured after seating M = f - i + B + A + S M = f - i + B + A

Elongation for Harped Strand Use the geometry for the hold-down and hold-up points to calculate the increase in the strand length due to harping. H = elongation due to increase in length of harped strand MH = elongation of harped strand = M - H Gauge Pressure of Harped Strand Use the gauge pressure vs. jacking force graph or equation and solve for the gauge pressure. Fj = jacking force = (f - H + S + A) AE/L The above calculations should be made for each strand and a table prepared listing the measured elongation and corresponding gauge pressure for each strand. Refer to Appendix H of the PCI Manual for Quality Control for Plants and Production of Structural Precast Concrete Products, 4th Edition, for sample tensioning calculations.

Article 16.4 Sheet 1 of 5 5/2004 QUANTITIES

General The quantities of the various materials involved in the construction of a project are needed for determining the estimated cost of the project and for establishing a base for the contractors bid and payment. Upon completion of structural design and detailing of plans, the quantities of materials in the construction of the project shall be computed. Quantities are to be computed and checked independently. Final quantities to be listed in the Special Provisions and Bid Proposal sheet are to be calculated to have an accuracy of +/- 1 percent. Method of measurement for the various materials shall be in accordance with the ITD Standard Specifications for Highway Construction, current edition, and Supplemental Specifications. Section 210 Structure Excavation and Compacting Backfill Structure Excavation, Schedule No. 1, shall include excavation for bridges, box and stiffleg culverts, and Structure Excavation, Schedule No. 2, shall include excavation for all other structures. Structure excavation will be measured by the cubic yard of material in its original position, using the average end area method. The volume of material actually removed shall be measured within a prism with limiting planes as follows: 1. Conduit and Structural Plate Pipe: As shown on the plans. 2. Other Structures: a. The bottom of the foundation. b. The vertical planes 2 ft. outside of and parallel to the outside lines of the structure, in the case of bents with individual column footings, the entire bent shall be considered as one structure. c. With upper limits as follows: (1) In embankment sections, the existing ground surface as cross sectioned. (2) In roadway cut sections or channel changes, the planes of the roadway cut or channel change as excavated.

Compacting backfill will be measured by the cubic yard of backfill material placed. The volume will be determined as follows: 1. Conduit: As shown on the plans. 2. Other Structures: a. Below the original ground surface: A volume equal to the volume of structure excavation less the volume of the permanent structure including opening, contained within the limits of measurement for structure excavation. b. Above the original ground surface: The volume contained between the outside walls of the structure and vertical planes 4 ft. outside thereof; the original ground surface; and a horizontal plane 1 ft. above the top of the structure or of the subgrade, whichever is the lesser. c. Volumes of backfill placed through water around abutments, wing walls and piers, will not be included in the measurement of quantities for compacting backfill.

Article A16.1 Page 1 of 1 4/2008 ELIGIBLE & EXEMPT ITEMS FOR COST ESTIMATE
GENERAL The bridge construction unit costs are submitted yearly to FHWA. This cost data is used in the apportionment process as described in Title 23, U.S.C. Section 144(e). The unit cost report is for new and replaced highway bridges constructed with Federal funds on Federal-aid highways (highway bridges on the NHS and other Federal-aid highways) and on non Federalaid highways (highway bridges on local roads and rural minor collectors; off-system highway bridges). Unit costs shall be based on bridge costs only. To make this data as accurate as possible and uniform nationwide, the following guidelines for eligible costs should be followed when coding the Bridge Cost Estimate database. EXEMPT ITEMS (Items not to be included in the Unit Cost Calculations) Mobilization Demolition of existing bridge Stream channel work Riprap Slope paving Earthwork (exclusive of structural excavation and structural backfill) Clearing and grubbing Retaining walls not attached to the abutment Guardrail transitions to bridges Maintenance and protection of traffic Detour costs Signing and marking Lighting Electrical conduit Inlet frames and grates Field office Construction engineering items Training Right-of-way Utility Relocation Contingencies Painting steel or concrete members for aesthetic purposes Textured concrete surface ELIGIBLE ITEMS (Items to be included in the Unit Cost Calculations) As a general rule, if the item is necessary to construct the bridge, it is eligible. The following items have been ruled eligible by FHWA HQ. Temporary shoring for bridge construction (formwork, falsework, and retention of roadway fill) Work bridges or platforms Deck treatments or wearing surface overlays Deicing systems used for deicing decks for traffic safety Approach slabs (when paid for as a bridge item, e.g. on integral abutment bridges) Painting steel members to prevent corrosion

Article 17.1 Page 1 of 3 7/2009 DETAILING PRACTICES & PLAN PREPARATION

PURPOSE The purpose of these standards is to enable the Bridge Section to produce consistent and effective plan sheets which will have uniform appearance and information. Engineers and detailers are responsible for ensuring that the criteria are implemented. DRAWING ORIENTATION & LAYOUT CONTROL The standard sheet for bridge drawings is 34x22 with the title block as shown on page B17.3. Plastic lead or ink shall be used on mylar drafting film for making changes and signing drawings. Drawings shall be carefully organized so the intent of the drawing can be easily read. North arrows shall be shown on Situation layout and Footing Layout sheets. Related details shall be grouped together in an orderly arrangement. The drawing should not be overcrowded with details. The standard sheet configuration should be as follows:

PLAN SECTION & DETAILS ELEVATION

NOTES

PLAN ORGANIZATION Plan sheets shall be assembled in the normal order of construction as follows: Situation and Layout Sheet Index, Quantities, & Vicinity Map Design and General Notes Foundation Investigation Stage Construction Details Footing Layout and Pile Details Abutment Details Wingwall Details Bent or Pier Details Framing Plan Girder Details Deck Typical Section Deck Details and Pour Sequence Bearing Details Expansion Joint Details Railing/Parapet Details Approach Slab Details Reinforcement Details

Article 17.1 Page 2 of 3 7/2009

LETTERING & DIMENSIONING Lettering shall follow the CADDS standards shown in Article 17.4. Underline all titles with a single line having the same weight as the lettering used with the scale noted beneath the line. Lettering shall be oriented so as to be read from the bottom or right edge of the sheet. A dimension shall be shown once on a drawing, unless repeating it is necessary for clarity. All dimensions shall be placed above the dimension line so that they may be read from the bottom or the right edge of the sheet. Reinforcing bar clearances need not be specified unless different from the General Notes sheet. When details or structural elements are complex, utilize two drawings; one for dimensions and the other for reinforcement details. Dimensions 12 or more shall be shown in feet & inches unless the item dimensioned is conventionally designated in inches; e.g. 16 pipe. Dimensions should be placed outside the view. However, in the interest of clarity and simplicity, it may be necessary to place them otherwise. Breaks are allowable in lines that cross, provided that their intent is clear. Detail or object lines take precedence over dimension lines; dimension lines take precedence over note or information lines. REINFORCEMENT CALL-OUT FORMAT Rebar shall be noted as follows: 20 F1~#6 19 spaces @ 12 = 19-0 Rebar sets shall be noted as follows: 1 set W1~#8 9 spaces @ 6 = 4-6 Epoxy coated rebar shall be denoted as follows: 25 S1~# 6(E) 24 spaces @ 12 = 24-0 SCALE An engineering scale shall be used for the Situation Layout sheet and may be used for framing plan sheets. An architectural scale shall be used for all detail sheets. All Plan, Elevation, and Details should be drawn to a scale to be clearly represented. The use of not to scale details should be limited to a minimum and used only on very simple details. When selecting a scale, it should be kept in mind that the drawing will be reduced. Generally, the minimum acceptable scale is as follows: Situation and Layout. 1 = 20 Section Details with rebar. = 1-0 Details for steel sections. = 1-0 Plan View without rebar. = 1-0 Section, details and views may be enlarged for clarity, but the number of different scales used on a sheet should be kept to a minimum. SECTIONS, VIEWS, AND DETAILS A Section cuts through the structure or object; a View is from the outside; a Detail shows part of a structural element in more detail and usually at a larger scale. Care shall be taken to ensure that the orientation of a detail is identical to that of the plan, elevation, etc., from which it is taken.

Article 17.1 Page 3 of 3 7/2009

Section or Views are noted by using an arrow with a letter as follows:

A
If the section can not be placed on the same sheet where it is taken, the following note should be added next to the section symbol; For Section A-A see sheet #_. Details are noted by using a bubble with a letter and a leader line to a bubble around the specific detail or view to be expanded for clarity as follows:

See Detail A

or

The letter designation for views and details shall begin with A on each sheet; e.g., Detail A, View A-A. Each structural component (abutment, pier, etc.) shall be detailed separately as a general rule. If similar components are the same except for height, then the details can be shown on a single sheet using a table for the variable dimensions. REVISIONS The revision block shall be used to record revisions made after the plans have been signed by the Bridge Engineer. Minor revisions shall be done using plastic lead or ink and erasing or crossing out the items to be changed. Major revisions may require the changes be done using the CADD and resigning the drawing. Revisions shall be noted by a number in a triangle next to the change. A number corresponding to the change shall be placed in the triangle in the revision block, followed by the date, the initials of the person making the change, and a brief description of the changes made on the drawing. FINAL PLANS The completed drawings shall be stored in the vertical plan file and the index filled out to indicate which packet contains the drawings. Both the full size stamped mylars and half size plans for bidding with electronic signature shall be stored in the vertical file.

17.5 Sheet 1 of 1 8/2006 DECK PLACING SEQUENCE

A deck placing sequence diagram and notes shall be shown on the plans for all multi-span bridges. Continuous placement shall not be allowed. STANDARD SEQUENCE FOR BRIDGES DESIGNED AS SIMPLE SPANS OR DESIGNED CONTINUOUS FOR LIVE LOAD WHEN GIRDERS ARE AT LEAST 90 DAYS OLD. CL Pier CL Pier

T = 20% - 25% of the adjacent span length

NOTES 1. No deviation from the deck placing sequence shown will be permitted. 2. Areas marked 1 shall be placed before areas marked 2, but areas of the same number need not be placed simultaneously. 3. Placement of areas marked 2 shall not commence until at least 48 hours have elapsed after completion of placement of areas marked 1. 4. When the deck slab is continuous over the piers, the pier diaphragm shall be placed simultaneously with the adjacent deck area.

BRIDGES DESIGNED CONTINUOUS FOR LIVE LOAD WHEN GIRDERS ARE LESS THAN 90 DAYS OLD When the deck is placed on girders that are less than 90 days old from the time they are cast, any rational deck placement sequence (other than continuous placement) may be used provided the girders are designed in accordance with Article 5.14.1.4.3 for the loading, creep and shrinkage that result from the sequence that is chosen.

Commentary
Refer to Article 5.14.1.4 -Simple Span Precast Girders Made Continuous In order to mitigate the development of positive moments at the piers due to girder creep, the girders are required to mature for 90 days to prevent excessive creep after the deck is placed. In accordance with the AASHTO Specifications this allows the same placing sequence as girders designed as simple spans without the need to calculate the effects of creep as is required for girders less than 90 days old.

Revisions:
June 2006 August 2006 Article was renumbered to 17.5 to allow for new article 17.1. The deck placement sequence for bridges designed continuous for live load was revised to reflect changes that were adopted by AASHTO 2006 ballot item #13.
