INTRODUCTION


It is the intent of this chapter to establish the practices and specific requirements of the Structure
and Bridge Division for the design and detailing of prestressed concrete members. It will also
provide design aids and other sources of information along with cross references to other
Manuals of the Structure and Bridge Division (Volume V - series) to assist in the design and
preparation of plans.

References to AASHTO LRFD specifications in this chapter refer to the AASHTO LRFD Bridge
Design Specifications including current interims and VDOT Modifications (IIM-S&B-80).
References to AASHTO Standard specifications in this chapter refer to the AASHTO Standard
Specifications for Highway Bridges, 16
th
Edition, 1996 including the 1997 and 1998 Interims and
VDOT Modifications.

The practices and specific requirements contained in this chapter have been established based
on the Structure and Bridge Divisions experience, industry standards and recommendations, and
technological advancements made over the years.

The practices and requirements set forth herein are intended to supplement or clarify the
requirements of the AASHTO Standard and LRFD specifications, and to provide additional
information to assist the designer. In the event of conflict(s) between the practices and
requirements set forth herein and those contained in the AASHTO Standard or LRFD
specifications, the more stringent requirements shall govern.

This chapter in the manual contains specific requirements and/or guidelines for the detailing of
various prestressed concrete components. It is not the intent of these requirements and
guidelines to supercede the requirements contained in Chapter 1 of this manual but to convey
necessary information to the designer for the detailing of prestressed concrete components.

Standard sheets and cell libraries dealing with the details in this chapter can be found in the
Manuals of the Structure and Bridge Division, Volume V:

Part 3 - Current Details
Part 4 - Prestressed Concrete Beam Standards
Part 5 - Prestressed Concrete Slab Standards

It is expected that the users of this chapter will adhere to the practices and requirements stated
herein.

Several major changes and/or additions to the past office practice (Volume V - Part 2) are as
follows:

1. Section 12.01 entitled Reinforcement is revised to include general requirements for the
use of corrosion resistant reinforcing steel (CCR) with precast prestressed concrete
members.

2. New Section 12.05 entitled Prestressed Concrete Voided Slabs - LRFD is added
establishing practices and requirements regarding the use of, design and detailing of the
modified AASHTO/PCI precast prestressed voided slab sections in accordance with the
requirements of the AASHTO LRFD specifications.

PRESTRESS LOSSES - LRFD
FILE NO. 12.01-5



PRESTRESS LOSSES - LRFD:

The loss of prestress can be defined as the difference between the initial stress in the strands
and the effective stress in the strands after losses have occurred. The loss of prestress can
generally be attributed to the cumulative effects from the following sources:

- Elastic Shortening (f
pES
)

- Relaxation of Prestressing Steel (f
pR
)

- Shrinkage of Concrete (f
pSR
)

- Creep of Concrete (f
pCR
)

- Anchorage Set (seating or slip) caused by movement of strands due to chuck seating in
wedge-type anchorages

- Other Factors such as casting bed and form deformations, and temperature effects, if
any.

Producers of prestressed concrete members will normally make the necessary adjustments to the
prestressing (jacking) force to compensate for the losses due to anchorage set and other factors.


COMPUTATION OF PRESTRESS LOSSES:

Prestress losses excluding losses due to friction for normal designs shall be computed in
accordance with the requirements contained in Article 5.9.5 of the AASHTO LRFD specifications
as supplemented herein.

For the design of prestressed concrete members, prestress losses excluding friction shall be

PRESTRESS LOSSES - ASD:

The loss of prestress can be defined as the difference between the initial stress in the strands
and the effective stress in the strands after losses have occurred. The loss of prestress can
generally be attributed to the cumulative effects from the following sources:

- Elastic Shortening (ES)

- Relaxation of Prestressing Steel (CR

- Shrinkage of Concrete (SH)

- Creep of Concrete (CR
c
)

- Anchorage Set (seating or slip) caused by movement of strands due to chuck seating in
wedge-type anchorages

- Other Factors such as casting bed and form deformations, and temperature effects, if
any.

Producers of prestressed concrete members will normally make the necessary adjustments to the
prestressing (jacking) force to compensate for the losses due to anchorage set and other factors.


COMPUTATION OF PRESTRESS LOSSES:

Prestress losses excluding friction for normal designs shall be computed using the approximate
method contained in Article 9.16.2 of the AASHTO Standard specifications as supplemented
herein. For unusual or complex designs, more detailed methods (time-dependent analysis) may
be used. In no case shall the total prestress losses excluding friction be less than 25,000 psi for
both pretensioned and post tensioned members.

For the design of prestressed concrete members prestress losses excluding friction shall be
computed at the following stages in the life of the member:

DRAPING OF STRANDS:

Prestressed members shall be designed with strands having either a straight or a double
draped (harped) profile along the length of the member.

Draped points (hold-downs) shall be located at 0.4L and 0.6L.

The number of draped strands permitted shall not exceed 14 ( 7 rows of 2 strands ).


COMPUTATION OF HOLD-DOWN FORCES:

Strand hold-down devices are rated (maximum safe working load) by uplift force per strand as
well as by total uplift force per device. The magnitude of these forces shall be investigated to
ensure the availability of hold-down devices to carry these loads. In the event the actual uplift
force per strand or total uplift force per hold-down device exceeds the maximum safe working
loads of 4 kips and 48 kips respectively, the designer shall verify the availability of a hold-down
device to carry the required uplift forces with local fabricators of prestressed members. Only as
a last resort may these forces be split into two or more locations straddling the 0.4L and 0.6L
points.

PRECAST BULB-T SECTIONS:

The precast concrete Bulb-Ts sections (PCBT-series) adopted by the Structure and Bridge
Division were developed by the Prestressed Concrete Committee for Economical Fabrication
(PCEF), a joint committee of FHWA bridge engineers, mid-Atlantic State DOT engineers and
precast, prestressed concrete suppliers.

For Prestressed Concrete Bulb-T Preliminary Design Tables, see File Nos. 12.03-6 thru -15.

For simple span prestressed concrete Bulb-T sections made continuous, see File No. 12.11-1.


CONCRETE:

Concrete used in the design of precast prestressed concrete Bulb-Ts shall be Class A5 having a
minimum 28 day compressive strength of 5000 psi. Concrete having strengths up to and
including 8000 psi may be used whenever it is economical or necessary to meet the design
requirements of the project. Concrete strengths exceeding 8000 psi up to 10,000 psi may be
used only after obtaining a design waiver.

The minimum compressive strength of concrete required at release to be specified in the General
Notes shown on the title sheet of the plans shall be the computed design value rounded up to the
nearest 100 psi but in no case shall it be less than 4000 psi.


REINFORCEMENT:

All prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcement used in the design and fabrication of
prestressed concrete Bulb-Ts shall conform to the requirements contained in File Nos. 12.01-1
and -2 and as specified below.

Prestressed concrete Bulb-Ts shall normally be designed using
1
/
2
diameter strands. Strand
diameters of 0.6 and
1
/
2
(special) may be used when necessary to meet design requirements.

For draping of strands and hold-down forces, see File Nos. 12.01-11 and 12.


COMPOSITE SECTION PROPERTIES:

In computing the composite section properties for precast concrete Bulb-Ts, the effect of bolster
shall be neglected.

For composite prestressed construction where slabs or flanges are assumed to act integrally with
the precast concrete Bulb-T, the effective flange width shall be computed in accordance with the
requirements of Article 4.6.2.6 of the AASHTO LRFD specifications.

MEMBER WEIGHT AND LENGTH LIMITATIONS:

When considering a precast prestressed concrete Bulb-T section to use, the designer shall
investigate the feasibility of having the member hauled to the project site and erected.

The weight of any precast prestressed concrete Bulb-T shall be limited to 72 kips and the length
limited to 75 feet in order to allow hauling by truck to the project site. Weights in excess of 72
kips but less than or equal to 100 kips and lengths in excess of 75 feet but less than or equal to
135 feet may be used with the approval of the District Structure and Bridge Engineer. The use of
members with weights in excess of 100 kips and lengths in excess of 135 feet will require a
design waiver.


BEAM END DETAILS FOR INTEGRAL ABUTMENTS:

For beam end details for integral abutments, see File Nos. 20.05-5 thru -8.

The designer shall locate 1
1
/
2
diameter open holes to insure there are no conflicts with
prestressing strands. In the event this is not possible, the designer may consider the option of
relocating the draped strands providing the beam stresses do not exceed the allowable. When
relocating draped strands, the designer may increase the vertical spacing of strands but shall
maintain 2 increments between rows of draped strands.

Modify the end of the beam shown in the Part Plan and Part Elevation shown on the prestressed
concrete beam standard sheet to show the location of the 1
1

diameter open holes in the beam
web. For semi-integral abutments for bridges on skews, modify the Part Plan to show the top
flange clip or beam end bevel.

TOP FLANGE SLEEVE DETAILS FOR DECK DRAINS:

When top flanges of Bulb-T sections interfere with the installation of bridge deck drain
outlet/downspout pipes, a hot dipped galvanized steel pipe sleeve shall be provided and located
within the limits shown below.























When the location of deck drain outlet/downspout pipe will not provide the minimum distance from
edge of top flange to pipe sleeve shown above, the designer shall either decrease the length of
deck cantilever or locate the deck drain outlet/downspout pipe outside the top flange.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN TABLES
FILE NO. 12.03-6



PRELIMINARY BULB-T DESIGN TABLES:

The Design Tables that follow are intended to assist the designer in selecting the most
economical Bulb-T beam section and concrete strength for a particular beam spacing and span
length. The tables are not intended to provide a final beam design.

These tables were developed in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD specifications using
CONSPAN RATING Version 7.0.0 by LEAP Software, Inc.

Design parameters used for the development of these tables include the following:

1. Beams are designed as simple spans for a typical interior beam.

2. Strands used for the tables are seven-wire, Grade 270 low relaxation strands placed on a
2 grid (spacing) with drape points located at 0.4L and 0.6L.

3. Draping of strands is limited to 14 strands (7 rows of 2 strands).

4. Non-composite dead loads include an assumed 2 bolster, steel diaphragms treated as a
uniformly distributed dead load of 10 plf and 20 psf construction tolerance.

5. Composite dead loads include F-shape parapet (VDOT Standard BPB-3) and 15 psf
future wearing surface.

6. Live Load: HL-93.

7. Minimum concrete compressive strength at release equals 4000 psi. Concrete
compressive strength at release when necessary is increased in 500 psi increments but
in no case greater than 0.8 f
'
c
.

8. The approximate estimate method is used in computing time dependent prestress losses.
Elastic gains are not used in the computation of prestress losses.

9. Allowable tension at Service Limit State is limited to 0.19
'
c
f .

10. Slab thicknesses and dead loads used are shown below the design tables.

The number of strands shown in the design tables indicates the number of strands required for a
successful design run using the design parameters listed above. No adjustments were made to
the strand pattern to achieve the most economical layout.

To use the preliminary design tables, the designer must first select the appropriate table based on
the beam spacing. From the appropriate table the designer can determine a preliminary beam
section and concrete strength for use in the final design of the superstructure.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.04-1



GENERAL INFORMATION:

The AASHTO/PCI precast prestressed concrete I-beam sections used by the Structure and
Bridge Division in the past have become less efficient with the adoption of the precast
prestressed concrete Bulb-T sections. These sections will not be used except for widening of
existing structures.

For widening of existing structures with Types V and VI beams, the use of precast concrete
Bulb-Ts closely matching the depth of existing beams should be considered.

PRECAST CONCRETE I-BEAMS SECTIONS:

The precast concrete I-beam sections (PCB-series) used by the Structure and Bridge Division
and listed in File No. 12.04-3 along with their section properties are taken from the AASHTO/PCI
Standard I-Beam sections.

For Prestressed Concrete I-Beam Preliminary Design Tables, see File Nos. 12.04-6 thru -15.


CONCRETE:

Concrete used in the design of precast prestressed concrete I-beams shall be Class A5 having a
minimum 28 day compressive strength of 5000 psi. Concrete having strengths up to and
including 8000 psi may be used whenever it is economical or necessary to meet the design
requirements of the project. Concrete strengths exceeding 8000 psi up to 10,000 psi may be
used only after obtaining a design waiver.

The minimum compressive strength of concrete required at release to be specified in the General
Notes shown on the title sheet of the plans shall be the computed design value rounded up to the
nearest 100 psi but in no case shall it be less than 4000 psi.


REINFORCEMENT:

All prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcement used in the design and fabrication of
prestressed concrete I-beams shall conform to the requirements contained in File Nos. 12.01-1
and -2, and as specified below.

Prestressed concrete I-beams shall normally be designed using
1
/
2
diameter strands. Strand
diameters of 0.6 and
1
/
2
(special) may be used when necessary to meet design requirements.

For draping of strands and hold-down forces, see File Nos. 12.01-11 and -12.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.04-2



COMPOSITE SECTION PROPERTIES:

In computing the composite section properties for precast concrete I-beams, the effects of bolster
shall be neglected.

For composite prestressed construction where slabs or flanges are assumed to act integrally with
the precast concrete I-beam, the effective flange width shall be computed in accordance with the
requirements of Article 4.6.2.6 of the AASHTO LRFD specifications.


MEMBER WEIGHT AND LENGTH LIMITATIONS:

When considering a precast prestressed concrete I-beam section to use, the designer shall
investigate the feasibility of having the member hauled to the project site and erected.

The weight of any precast prestressed concrete I-beam shall be limited to 72 kips and the length
limited to 75 feet in order to allow hauling by truck to the project site. Weights in excess of 72
kips but less than or equal to 100 kips and lengths in excess of 75 feet but less than or equal to
135 feet may be used with the approval of the District Structure and Bridge Engineer. The use of
members with weights in excess of 100 kips and lengths in excess of 135 feet will require a
design waiver.


BEAM DIAPHRAGM DETAILS:

For beam diaphragm details, see File Nos. 12.10-1 thru -15.

For beam continuity diaphragm details, see File Nos. 12.19-1 thru -9.


MISCELLANEOUS BEAM DETAILS:

For camber and bolster computations, see File Nos. 12.02-1 thru -3.

For dead load deflection diagrams, see File No. 12.02-4.

For top of slab elevations along centerline of beams, see File No. 12.02-5.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN TABLES
FILE NO. 12.04-6



PRELIMINARY I-BEAM DESIGN TABLES:

The Design Tables that follow are intended to assist the designer in selecting the most
economical I-beam section and concrete strength for a particular beam spacing and span length.
The tables are not intended to provide a final beam design.

These tables were developed in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD specifications using
CONSPAN RATING Version 7.0.0 by LEAP Software, Inc.

Design parameters used for the development of these tables include the following:

1. Beams are designed as simple spans for a typical interior beam.

2. Strands used for the tables are seven-wire, Grade 270 low relaxation strands placed on a
2 grid (spacing) with drape points located at 0.4L and 0.6L.

3. Draping of strands is limited to 14 strands (7 rows of 2 strands).

4. Non-composite dead loads include an assumed 2 bolster, steel diaphragms treated as a
uniformly distributed dead load of 10 plf and 20 psf construction tolerance.

5. Composite dead loads include F-shape parapet (VDOT Standard BPB-3) and 15 psf
future wearing surface.

6. Live Load: HL-93.

7. Minimum concrete compressive strength at release equals 4000 psi. Concrete
compressive strength at release when necessary is increased in 500 psi increments but
in no case greater than 0.8 f
'
c
.

8. The approximate estimate method is used in computing time dependent prestress losses.
Elastic gains are not used in the computation of prestress losses.

9. Allowable tension at Service Limit State is limited to 0.19
'
c
f .

10. Slab thicknesses and dead loads used are shown below the design tables.

The number of strands shown in the design tables indicates the number of strands required for a
successful design run using the design parameters listed above. No adjustments were made to
the strand pattern to achieve the most economical layout.

To use the preliminary design tables, the designer must first select the appropriate table based on
the beam spacing. From the appropriate table the designer can determine a preliminary beam
section and concrete strength for use in the final design of the superstructure.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN TABLES
FILE NO. 12.05-6



PRELIMINARY VOIDED SLAB DESIGN TABLES:

The Design Tables that follow are intended to assist the designer in selecting the most
economical Voided Slab section for a particular out-to-out bridge width and span length. The
tables are not intended to provide a final slab design.

These tables are developed in accordance with the AASHTO LRFD specifications and
CONSPAN RATING Version 7.0.0 by LEAP Software, Inc.

Design parameters used for the development of these tables include the following:

1. Concrete compressive strength at twenty-eight days equals 5000 psi. Concrete
compressive strength at release equals 4000 psi.

2. Strands used for the tables are seven-wire, Grade 270 low relaxation strands placed on a
2 grid (spacing).

3. Dead loads include the F-shape parapet (VDOT Standard BPB-3) and asphalt overlay.

4. Dead loads used are shown below the design tables.

5. Live Load: HL93.

6. Voided Slabs are designed as simple span for a typical interior slab.

7. The approximate estimate method is used in computing time dependent prestress losses.
Elastic gains are not used in the computation of prestress losses.

8. Allowable tension at Service Limit State is limited to 0.19
'
c
f .


The bridge width shown in the design tables is the out to out of bridge deck. It includes
3-0 wide solid exterior slabs when using 3-0 wide interior voided slabs and 4-0 wide solid
exterior slabs when using 4-0 wide interior voided slabs.

The number of strands shown in the design tables indicates the number of strands required for a
successful design run using the design parameters listed above. No adjustments were made to
the strand pattern to achieve the most economical layout.

To use the preliminary design tables, the designer must first select the appropriate table based on
the out to out of bridge deck required. From the appropriate table the designer can determine a
preliminary voided slab section for use in the final design of the superstructure.

FILE NO. 12.08-1



GENERAL INFORMATION:

The precast prestressed concrete box beam sections used by the Structure and Bridge Division
and listed in File No.12.08-5 along with their section properties are taken from the AASHTO/PCI
standard box beam sections with modifications made to the longitudinal shear key details and
width of end diaphragms.

Precast prestressed concrete box beams shall not be used on bridges with the following roadway
functional classifications:

Freeways

Urban/Rural Principal Arterial

Precast prestressed concrete box beams may be used on all other roadway functional
classifications as follows:


Design Year ADT ADTT Deck / Overlay
4000 100 Asphalt Overlay
> 4000 100 < ADTT 200
Concrete deck 5 thick with
single layer of reinforcement
> 4000 > 200
Concrete deck 7 thick with
two layers of reinforcement


The use of precast prestressed concrete box beams may be justified when considering but not
limited to the following pertinent site specific parameters:

1. Hydraulics

Precast prestressed concrete box beam spans often provide the shallowest
superstructure alternative, hence the most favorable from a hydraulic perspective. For
superstructure replacements, the swallowest possible superstructure may satisfy an in-
kind hydraulic analysis thus avoiding the substantial cost and time of a site survey and a
full blown hydraulic analysis.

2. Heavy Debris Laden Streams/Rivers

Precast prestressed concrete box beam spans provide a smooth bottom to the
superstructure which allows greater passage of debris beneath the structure as opposed
to beam/girder spans which are prone to catching debris beneath the structure thus
leading to larger debris blockages. Debris can no longer be left to continue on its
course. Maintenance crews must remove the debris from the stream, often by the use of
a crane and the debris is then trucked from the site at a considerable monetary cost and
opportunity (time) cost to the maintenance crew. Contact the District Bridge Engineer for
information and recommendation.

3. Rapid Bridge Construction

The time it takes to construct a precast prestressed box beam superstructure to the
extent that it can provide for the controlled passage of vehicles can be as little as days or
even hours if necessary. Short term closings in lieu of expensive detours can often be
negotiated with the municipality and the immediate community with the benefit of
providing substantial project cost and user cost saving.

The design guidelines specified herein along with the sections, section properties and details
contained in File Nos. 12.08-5 and -6 are intended only for reference.

a minimum 28 day compressive strength of 5000 psi.

The minimum compressive strength of concrete required at release to be specified in the General
Notes shown on the front sheet of the plans shall be the computed design value rounded up to
the nearest 100 psi but in no case shall it be less than 4000 psi.


REINFORCEMENT:

All prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcement used in the design and fabrication of
prestressed concrete box beams shall conform to the requirements contained in File Nos. 12.01-1
and -2, and as specified below.

PRETENSIONED ANCHORAGE ZONE DESIGN
GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.12-1



GENERAL INFORMATION:

This section establishes practices and requirements regarding the design and detailing of the
pretensioned anchorage zone reinforcement for prestressed concrete Bulb-Ts.

The design practices, tables and reinforcement details contained in this section were established
as a result of research done by Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia to address problems with
cracking at beam ends.

The practices and requirements set forth herein are intended to supersede the requirements set
forth in both the AASHTO Standard and LRFD specifications.























The anchorage zone as referred to in this section is the region from end of beam to 3h/4 where h
is the depth of the member. For purposes of design, the anchorage zone is divided into two
regions. The first region extends from end of beam to h/4 and the other region extends from h/4
to 3h/4.

In the anchorage zone region between h/4 and 3h/4, it is suggested that the designer first design
for the anchorage zone reinforcement requirements set forth herein and then check against the
requirements for horizontal and vertical shear. The most stringent requirement shall govern. In
the region beyond 3h/4, stirrups shall be provided as required for horizontal and vertical shear.

Confinement reinforcement at beam ends shall be provided in accordance with the requirements
contained in Article 5.10.10.2 of the AASHTO LRFD specifications.

For Anchorage Zone Reinforcement Details, see File Nos. 12.12-2 and 3.

For Anchorage Zone Design Tables, see File Nos. 12.12-4 thru 13.

PRETENSIONED ANCHORAGE ZONE DESIGN
BULB-T REINFORCEMENT DETAILS
FILE NO. 12.12-2



BULB-T REINFORCEMENT DETAILS:

The stirrup bars used in the anchorage zone shall consist of a standard 180 bend, double leg
stirrup bar with 90 standard hooks. There are two types of stirrup bars used.

One type of stirrup bar extends out of the top flange of the beam to at least mid-depth of
the deck slab. This type of stirrup bar is used when required for horizontal shear transfer
and to ensure composite action between beam and deck slab. See Detail A,
File No. 12.12-3.

The second type of stirrup bar does not extend above the top flange of the beam. This
type of stirrup bar is used when not required for horizontal shear. See Detail B,
File No. 12.12-3.

Maximum size stirrup bar used for anchorage zone reinforcement shall be #5 reinforcing bar.

The area of reinforcement, number and size of stirrups, and spacing required in these two regions
can be obtained from the appropriate anchorage zone design table contained in this section.























Stirrups required in the region from end of beam to h/4 may need to be bundled in order to
achieve the spacings shown in the design tables.

The first stirrup in the region from end of beam to h/4 shall consist of a pair of bundled stirrup bars
which shall extend out of the top flange of the beam to at least mid-depth of the deck slab.

In most cases stirrups required in the region from h/4 to 3h/4 will not need to be bundled to
achieve the spacings contained in the design tables.

Designers shall adjust location(s) of anchorage zone reinforcement to avoid conflicts with inserts,
open holes and studs in insert plates.

Confinement reinforcement shall be a #4 reinforcing bar shaped as shown in Details A, B and C
below and spaced at 4 on centers for a distance of 1.5h from end of beam. The bar may be
fabricated as a two piece bar with a minimum 1-8 lap.

















Reinforcement provided beyond the anchorage zone shall satisfy the requirements for vertical
and horizontal shear.

Stirrup bars placed beyond the anchorage zone shall consist of a standard 180 bend, double leg
stirrup bar without 90 standard hooks. See Detail C below.

BULB-T DESIGN TABLES
FILE NO. 12.12-4



BULB-T DESIGN TABLES:

The design tables that follow are intended to assist the designer in providing sufficient
reinforcement in the end anchorage zone of a member to control beam end web cracking.

The design tables do not address the following:

Beams with straight strands only or draped strands not raised to full height at end of
beam.

Beams with debonded strands.

Beams with 300 ksi strands.

Beam sections other than precast concrete Bulb-T sections (PCBT-series).

Spliced girders.

For beams with the above conditions, it is recommended that the designer conduct an analysis
using the strut-and-tie model to determine the appropriate stirrup reinforcement required.

To use the design tables, the designer must first select the appropriate table based on the PCBT
cross section, type of concrete (normal or lightweight) and the diameter of strands used. From
the appropriate table the designer can find the total area of required steel, number and size of
stirrups, and spacing of stirrups for each of the anchorage zone regions.

ERECTION DIAGRAM SHEET
GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.13-1



GENERAL INFORMATION:

This section of the chapter establishes the practices/requirements necessary for the completion
of the erection diagram sheet for a plan assembly. Included are sample erection diagram sheets
with a checklist for completing these sheets.

It is not the intent of the sample erection diagram sheets and checklist contained in this section to
show how to lay out the superstructure of a bridge.

A typical project will normally have a single erection diagram sheet which will include notes.
Space permitting, other details pertaining to the erection diagram or prestressed concrete
member may be shown on this sheet. In all cases, the erection diagram sheet shall contain all of
the items shown in this section. Information placed in blocks on the sample erection diagram
sheets is for designers information only and are not to be placed on the erection diagram sheet.

For major projects or long structures, the erection diagram sheet may have to be extended to
additional sheets to adequately show the complete structure. For structures with repetitive spans,
only one erection diagram need be drawn for each typical unit. Designation of typical units shall
be indicated on the title sheet (plan view).

The practices for the completion of interior sheets contained in Chapter 4 shall be adhered to.

still be legible when reduced to half-size.

Show skew angle(s) if applicable. Skew angle shall be as shown on the title sheet.
Skew angles for curved bridge layout on span chords are angles between face of
backwalls/end of slabs or L of pier(s)/bent(s) with a radial line through intersections of
route L / L and face of backwalls/end of slabs or L of pier(s)/bent(s).

For non-integral abutments, show and label:

Face of backwall
Abutment A or B

For full and semi-integral abutments, show and label:

End of slab
Abutment A or B

Show and label L / L of bridge. This designation shall match that shown on the title
sheet. Do not include the word proposed.

Show and label L piers(s)/bent(s). Piers/bents shall be designated from left to right
using consecutive numbers when more than one pier/bent exists, e.g., L Pier 1/
Bent 1.

Label spans from left to right using lower case designators, e.g., Span a, Span b.

Label beams/girders from top to bottom using upper case designators, e.g.,
Beam/Girder A, Beam/Girder B.

Locate the L of all utilities supported by the bridge. Provide the number, size of
conduits and name of utility utilizing the conduit(s). When water, gas or other similar
systems are located on the bridge, the diameter of pipe should also be shown. Utilities
shall preferably be located between an exterior beam/girder and the first interior
beam/girder unless otherwise directed by the utility company. Gas lines shall be
located between an exterior beam/girder and the first interior beam/girder.

Dimension span length(s) along the route L / L . This is the distance between the
face of backwall/end of slab and the L of pier/bent, L pier/bent to L pier/bent, and L
of pier/bent to face of backwall/end of slab.

Show beam/girder spacings. Dimensions shall be normal to the L of beams/girders
for both straight and skewed bridges. Dimension the location of the first beam/girder
on each side of the route L / L of the bridge.

Show and label location of line(s) through centers of inserts or bolts for intermediate
steel diaphragms (File Nos. 12.10-7 and -9) or L of intermediate concrete diaphragms.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

This section of the chapter establishes the general practices/requirements necessary for the
completion of a plan assembly for a typical superstructure containing prestressed concrete
members. Included are sample plan detail sheets necessary for providing a complete bridge
plan assembly.

It is not the intent of the sample plan detail sheets contained in this section to show practices and
requirements for the design of the superstructure of a bridge. The plan detail sheets shown in
this section are intended only to provide the designer with the necessary detail requirements for a
complete bridge plan assembly.

For specific requirements and guidelines for completing plan detail sheets, refer to the
appropriate section of this chapter and notes to designers contained in the Manuals of the
Structure and Bridge Division, Volume V, Parts 3 through 5.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.15-1



PRECAST BULB-T SECTIONS:

The precast concrete Bulb-Ts sections (PCBT-series) adopted by the Structure and Bridge
Division were developed by the Prestressed Concrete Committee for Economical Fabrication
(PCEF), a joint committee of FHWA bridge engineers, mid-Atlantic State DOT engineers and
precast, prestressed concrete suppliers.

For Prestressed Concrete Bulb-T Preliminary Design Tables, see File Nos. 12.15-4 thru -13.

For simple span prestressed concrete Bulb-T sections made continuous, see File No. 12.11-1.


CONCRETE:

Concrete used in the design of precast prestressed concrete Bulb-Ts shall be Class A5 having a
minimum 28 day compressive strength of 5000 psi. Concrete having strengths up to and
including 8000 psi may be used whenever it is economical or necessary to meet the design
requirements of the project. Concrete strengths exceeding 8000 psi up to 10,000 psi may be
used only after obtaining a design waiver.

The minimum compressive strength of concrete required at release to be specified in the General
Notes shown on the title sheet of the plans shall be the computed design value rounded up to the
nearest 100 psi but in no case shall it be less than 4000 psi.


REINFORCEMENT:

All prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcement used in the design and fabrication of
prestressed concrete Bulb-Ts shall conform to the requirements contained in File Nos. 12.01-1
and -2 and as specified below.

Prestressed concrete Bulb-Ts shall normally be designed using
1
/
2
diameter strands. Strand
diameters of 0.6 and
1
/
2
(special) may be used when necessary to meet design requirements.

For draping of strands and hold-down forces, see File Nos. 12.01-11 and 12.


COMPOSITE SECTION PROPERTIES:

In computing the composite section properties for precast concrete Bulb-Ts, the effect of bolster
shall be neglected.

For composite prestressed construction where slabs or flanges are assumed to act integrally with
the precast concrete Bulb-T, the effective flange width shall be computed in accordance with the
requirements of Article 9.8.3 of the AASHTO specifications for precast prestressed concrete
beams with wide flanges.

ANCHORAGE ZONE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS:

For anchorage zone design requirements, see File Nos. 12.12 -1 thru -13.


MEMBER WEIGHT AND LENGTH LIMITATIONS:

When considering a precast prestressed concrete Bulb-T section to use, the designer shall
investigate the feasibility of having the member hauled to the project site and erected.

The weight of any precast prestressed concrete Bulb-T shall be limited to 72 kips and the length
limited to 75 feet in order to allow hauling by truck to the project site. Weights in excess of 72
kips but less than or equal to 100 kips and lengths in excess of 75 feet but less than or equal to
135 feet may be used with the approval of the District Structure and Bridge Engineer. The use of
members with weights in excess of 100 kips and lengths in excess of 135 feet will require a
design waiver.


BEAM END DETAILS FOR INTEGRAL ABUTMENTS:

For beam end details for integral abutments, see File Nos. 20.05-5 thru -8.

The designer shall locate 1
1
/
2
diameter open holes to insure there are no conflicts with
prestressing strands. In the event this is not possible, the designer may consider the option of
relocating the draped strands providing the beam stresses do not exceed the allowable. When
relocating draped strands, the designer may increase the vertical spacing of strands but shall
maintain 2 increments between rows of draped strands.

Modify the end of the beam shown in the Part Plan and Part Elevation shown on the prestressed
concrete beam standard sheet to show the location of the 1
1
/
2
diameter open holes in the beam
web. For semi-integral abutments for bridges on skews, modify the Part Plan to show the top
flange clip or beam end bevel.


BEAM DIAPHRAGM DETAILS:

For beam diaphragm details, see File Nos. 12.10-1 thru -15.

For beam continuity diaphragm details, see File Nos. 12.11-1 thru -10.


MISCELLANEOUS BEAM DETAILS:

For camber and bolster computations, see File Nos. 12.02-1 thru -3.

For dead load deflection diagrams, see File No. 12.02-4.

For top of slab elevations along centerline of beams, see File No. 12.02-5.

PRELIMINARY DESIGN TABLES
FILE NO. 12.15-4



PRELIMINARY BULB-T DESIGN TABLES:

The Design Tables that follow are intended to assist the designer in selecting the most
economical Bulb-T beam section and concrete strength for a particular beam spacing and span
length. The tables are not intended to provide a final beam design.

These tables are developed in accordance with the AASHTO Standard specifications using the
Structure and Bridge mainframe computer program, HWY1514 Prestressed Concrete I-Beam
Design and Analysis.

Design parameters used for the development of these tables include the following:

1. Beams are designed as simple spans for a typical interior beam.

2. Strands used for the tables are seven-wire, Grade 270 low relaxation strands placed on a
2 grid (spacing) with drape points located at 0.4L and 0.6L.

3. Draping of strands is limited to 14 strands (7 rows of 2 strands).

4. Dead loads used include the F-shape parapet (VDOT Standard BPB-3) and an assumed
2 bolster.

5. The weight of steel diaphragms treated as a uniformly distributed dead load.

6. Live Load: HS20-44.

7. Minimum concrete compressive strength at release equals 4000 psi. Concrete
compressive strength at release when necessary is increased in 500 psi increments but
in no case greater than 0.8 f
'
c
.

8. The approximate estimate method is used in computing time dependent prestress losses.
Elastic gains are not used in the computation of prestress losses.

9. Allowable tension at Service Limit State is limited to 6
'
c
f .

10. Slab thicknesses and dead loads used are shown below the design tables.

The number of strands shown in the design tables indicates the number of strands required for a
successful design run using the design parameters listed above. No adjustments were made to
the strand pattern to achieve the most economical layout.

To use the preliminary design tables, the designer must first select the appropriate table based on
the beam spacing. From the appropriate table the designer can determine a preliminary beam
section and concrete strength for use in the final design of the superstructure.

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
I-BEAMS - ASD
GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.16-1



GENERAL INFORMATION:

The AASHTO/PCI precast prestressed concrete I-beam sections used by the Structure and
Bridge Division in the past have become less efficient with the adoption of the precast
prestressed concrete Bulb-T sections. These sections will not be used except for widening of
existing structures.

For widening of existing structures with Types V and VI beams, the use of precast concrete
Bulb-Ts closely matching the depth of existing beams should be considered.


PRECAST CONCRETE I-BEAMS SECTIONS:

The precast concrete I-beam sections (PCB-series) used by the Structure and Bridge Division
and listed in File No. 12.16-3 along with their section properties are taken from the AASHTO/PCI
Standard I-Beam sections.


CONCRETE:

Concrete used in the design of precast prestressed concrete I-beams shall be Class A5 having a
minimum 28 day compressive strength of 5000 psi. Concrete having strengths up to and
including 8000 psi may be used whenever it is economical or necessary to meet the design
requirements of the project. Concrete strengths exceeding 8000 psi up to 10,000 psi may be
used only after obtaining a design waiver.

The minimum compressive strength of concrete required at release to be specified in the General
Notes shown on the title sheet of the plans shall be the computed design value rounded up to the
nearest 100 psi but in no case shall it be less than 4000 psi.


REINFORCEMENT:

All prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcement used in the design and fabrication of
prestressed concrete I-beams shall conform to the requirements contained in File Nos. 12.01-1
and -2, and as specified below.

Prestressed concrete I-beams shall normally be designed using
1
/
2
diameter strands. Strand
diameters of 0.6 and
1
/
2
(special) may be used when necessary to meet design requirements.

For draping of strands and hold-down forces, see File Nos. 12.01-11 and -12.

PRESTRESSED CONCRETE
I-BEAMS - ASD
GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.16-2



COMPOSITE SECTION PROPERTIES:

In computing the composite section properties for precast concrete I-beams, the effects of bolster
shall be neglected.

For composite prestressed construction where slabs or flanges are assumed to act integrally with
the precast concrete I-beam, the effective flange width for precast concrete I-beams shall be
computed in accordance with the requirements of Article 9.8.1.1 (for beam Types II thru IV) and
Article 9.8.3 (for beam Types V and VI) of the AASHTO Standard specifications.


MEMBER WEIGHT AND LENGTH LIMITATIONS:

When considering a precast prestressed concrete I-beam section to use, the designer shall
investigate the feasibility of having the member hauled to the project site and erected.

The weight of any precast prestressed concrete I-beam shall be limited to 72 kips and the length
limited to 75 feet in order to allow hauling by truck to the project site. Weights in excess of 72
kips but less than or equal to 100 kips and lengths in excess of 75 feet but less than or equal to
135 feet may be used with the approval of the District Structure and Bridge Engineer. The use of
members with weights in excess of 100 kips and lengths in excess of 135 feet will require a
design waiver.


BEAM DIAPHRAGM DETAILS:

For beam diaphragm details, see File Nos. 12.10-1 thru -15.

For beam continuity diaphragm details, see File Nos. 12.19-1 thru -9.


MISCELLANEOUS BEAM DETAILS:

For camber and bolster computations, see File Nos. 12.02-1 thru -3.

For dead load deflection diagrams, see File No. 12.02-4.

For top of slab elevations along centerline of beams, see File No. 12.02-5.

GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.18-1



PRECAST CONCRETE PILE SECTIONS:

The prestressed concrete pile sections used by the Structure and Bridge Division and listed in
File No. 12.18-2 along with their section properties are taken from the AASHTO/PCI standard
prestressed concrete pile sections.


CONCRETE:

Concrete used in the design of prestressed concrete piles shall be Class A5 having a minimum
28 day compressive strength of 5000 psi.

The minimum compressive strength of concrete at release shall be 3500 psi.

When piles are exposed in bridges over tidal water such as in pile bents and in footings
constructed above Mean High Tide elevation, the concrete shall be cured and finished in
accordance with Section 404 of the VDOT Road and Bridge Specifications.


REINFORCEMENT:

All prestressed and non-prestressed reinforcement used in the design and fabrication of
prestressed concrete piles shall conform to the requirements contained in File Nos. 12.01-1
and -2, and as specified below.

Prestressing strands used in the design of the prestressed concrete piles shall be
1
/
2
diameter
strands.

Spiral ties shall be #5 gage steel wire. For Seismic Performance Category B bridges or other
structures, #4/0 gage wire or #3 reinforcing bars shall be used.

Prestressing strands shall be laid out symmetrical about a vertical and horizontal axis through the
centroid of the pile cross section. Strand pattern may be either square or circular.

When piles are exposed in bridges over tidal water such as in pile bents and in footings
constructed above Mean High Tide elevation, the spiral ties and all other reinforcing bars shall be
hot dipped galvanized.


DESIGN BEARING CAPACITY:

The design bearing capacities shown in the section properties table in File No. 12.18-2 are based
on the structural strength of the pile section.

The design bearing capacity of a pile used for foundation design is generally governed by the
pile-soil system which is usually limited by the strength of the soil and not by the structural
strength of the pile. Therefore, the designer shall have these loads evaluated by the
Geotechnical Support section.

CONTINUITY DIAPHRAGMS FOR I - BEAMS
GENERAL INFORMATION
FILE NO. 12.19-1



GENERAL INFORMATION:

This section establishes the practices and requirements for the design and detailing of closure
diaphragms for simple span prestressed concrete I-Beam sections made continuous for super-
imposed (composite) DL and LL+IM for both the AASHTO Standard and LRFD specifications.

The design and detailing of closure diaphragms for simple span prestressed concrete I-Beam
sections made continuous for composite DL and LL+IM shall be in accordance with the
requirements of Article 5.14.1.4 of the AASHTO LRFD specifications as supplemented herein.

For typical positive moment closure diaphragm details, see File Nos. 12.19-3 thru -9.


CONCRETE:

Concrete used in cast-in-place concrete closure diaphragms shall be Class A4 having a minimum
28 day compressive strength of 4000 psi.


REINFORCEMENT:

All reinforcement used in cast-in-place concrete closure diaphragms shall conform to the
requirements contained in File Nos. 12.01-1 and -2 and as specified below.


MINIMUM AGE OF BEAM:

The minimum age of a precast, prestressed concrete beam at time of establishment of continuity
(at time closure diaphragms are cast) shall not be less than 90 days from release of strands.

When this is not practical, the positive moment connection shall be designed in accordance with
the procedures outlined in the August 1969 PCA Engineering Bulletin Design of Continuous
Highway Bridges with Precast, Prestressed Concrete Girders. For such cases the following
shall also apply:

In using this procedure, a reduction in the simple span positive moment due to composite
DL and LL + Impact may be taken for the design of the beam within the span.

Minimum non-prestressed positive moment reinforcement shall be 4 - #8 rebars or an
equivalent area of steel.

Minimum embedment length of non-prestressed positive moment reinforcement shall be
50 times the strand diameter plus the development length in tension for the deformed bar
used. In no case shall all positive moment reinforcement bars be terminated at the same
location.
