Proposed design steps:
(1)Calculate gross section properties, assuming a girder concrete strength of 10 ksi.(2)Calculate live load distribution factors.(3)Calculate moments and shears at 10th points due to various limit state load combinations.
(4)Approximate number and arrangement of strands based on Service III stress and NCHRPapproximate method. Then use detailed NCHRP 1807 (LRFD 2005) loss method to refine
the number of strands (use spreadsheet and check by hand).
(5)Check Strength I with strands calculated in (4), and determine concrete strength at final(use spreadsheet and check by hand).
(6)Check if the precast section satisfies Strength IV (use spreadsheet and check by hand).(7)Determine concrete strength at release; revise concrete strength at final if needed (use
spreadsheet and check by hand).(8)Determine the design moment diagram at 10th points and check that it is greater than the
Mu diagram at the same points.
(9) Check min. reinforcement limits.
(10) Design shear reinforcement; at least the critical section must be designed by handcalculation, including longitudinal reinforcement anchorage check.
(11) Check interface (horizontal) shear.(12) Design and detail the end zone reinforcement (splitting and confining steel).(13) Estimate midspan camber at release and at erection.(14) Estimate live load deflection.

1.1 Section Properties
1.1.1 Precast Girder
The LRFD Specs allow the inclusion of transformed strand in the section propertiesfor a prestressed member (Article 5.9.1.4). For initial calculations, the reinforcementamount is not available and contribution of the strand to the section properties is
neglected.
Properties of NU2000:
A = 903.8 IN2
I = 790,592 IN4
h = 78.7 IN
bW = 5.9 IN
yb = 35.7 IN
yt = 43.0 IN
Sb = 790,592 IN4 / 35.7 IN = 22,145 IN3
St = 790,592 IN4 / 43.0 IN = 18,385 IN3

Distribution Factor for Bending Moment (DFM):
For all limit states except Fatigue Limit State, for two or more lanes
loaded, DFM = 0.689 lanes/beam.
For one design lane loaded, DFM = 0.450 lanes/beam.
Therefore, in the case of the two design lanes loaded controls, DFM = 0.689
lanes/beam.
Distribution Factor for Shear Force (DFV):
For two or more lanes loaded, DFV = 0.884 lanes/beam[LRFD Table 4.6.2.2.3a-1].
For one design lane loaded, DFV = 0.72 lanes/beam.
Therefore, in the case of two design lanes loaded controls, DFV = 0.884.

3. Moments and Shears
3.1 Dead Loads
3.1.1 Girder Dead Load at Release
The moments for this condition are computed separately from other moments becausethe full length of the girder is used in computing these moments, rather than thedesign span (distance from center-to-center of bearings). The full length is used
because, when the girder cambers upward in the prestressing bed after release, its
only points of contact with the bed (and therefore its support locations) will be at theends of the girder.
Girder Dead Load:
w = (903.8 IN2/ 144) (0.140+10/1000 KCF) = 0.941 KLF
Moment at x distance from end of beam due to self weight at relaese time:
Mgdli = ( )xL2xw
L = 200 FT (overall girder length)
Mgdli = 0.941 (x / 2) (200 - x) = 94.1 x - 0.471 x2
Moment due to self weight during lifting. The lifting points are at 0.1L and 0.9 L.
w = 0.941 KLF

Locations of interest at release conditions:
1. Transfer point t = 60 db = 60 (0.6 IN) = 36.0 IN = 3.0 FT (LRFD 5.8.2.3)
2. Depression points, yet to be determined
3. Midspan

Vncdl = 4.876 0.049 x
3.1.1.5 Composite Dead Load - Barriers
Barriers: (2) (0.27 KLF / barrier) = 0.54 KLF

Future Wearing Surface: (51.00 FT) (0.025 KSF) = 1.275 KLF

All load factors are equal to 1.0 for this problem.
For moment at mid-span:
Acting on the non-composite girder, MSLnc:
MSLnc = 4,658.1+ 3,768.3 + 269.2 + 240.3 = 8,935.8 K-FT
Acting on the composite girder, MSLc:MSLc = 534.6 + 1,158.3 + 5,191.5 = 6,884.4 K-FT
3.3.2 Service III
This load combination is a special combination for Service Limit State stress checks that
applies only to tension in prestressed concrete structures with the objective of crack
control.
All load factors are equal to 1.0 for this problem, except that the live load is reduced by afactor of 0.8.
Moments at mid-span:
Acting on the non-composite girder, MSLnc (same as for Service I).
Acting on the composite girder, MSLc:
MSLc = 534.6 + 1158.3 + (0.8)(5,191.5) = 5846.1 K-FT
3.3.3 Fatigue
According to LRFD 5.5.3.1, Fatigue need not be checked for concrete deck slabs in multi-
girder applications. Fatigue of the reinforcement need not be checked for fully
prestressed components designed to have extreme fiber tensile stress due to Service III LimitState within the tensile stress limit specified in Article 5.9.4.2.2b. Fatigue of concrete is
checked indirectly by satisfying the compression stress limit of 0.4 'cf for the load
combination specified in LRFD 5.9.4.2.1.
3.3.4 Strength I
This load combination is the general combination for Strength Limit State design.Since the structure is simply supported, the maximum values for the load factors are
used because they produce the greatest effect (see LRFD Table 3.4.1-2).
No distinction is made between moments and shears applied to the non-composite orcomposite sections for strength computations. The factored loads are applied to the
composite section.
The following load factors apply:
Dead Load - Component and Attachments 1.25 DC
Dead Load - Wearing Surface and Utilities 1.50 DW
Vehicular Live Load and Impact 1.75 LL and IM

Mu or Vu = 1.25DC + 1.50DW + 1.75(LL + IM)
For moment at midspan, Mu:
Mu = (1.25) [4,658.1 + 3,768.3 + 269.2 + 240.3 + 534.6] + (1.50) (1,158.3) + (1.75)
(5,191.5)
Mu = 22,660.6 K-FT
For shear at the critical section for shear, Vu :
Vu = (1.25) [88.3 + 71.4 + 5.1 + 4.6 + 10.1] +(1.50) (21.9) + (1.75) (133.3)
Vu = 490.5 KIP
For moment at the critical section for shear, Mu:
Mu = (1.25) [518.4 + 419.4 + 30.0 + 26.7 + 59.5] + (1.50) (128.9) + (1.75) (577.8)
Mu = 2,521.9 K-FT
3.3.5 Strength IV
This design limit state checks a precast members strength under its own weight plus the
weight of all loads applied before composite action takes effect. If this condition is satisfied,
there is no need to check the compressive stress limit of 0.45 'cf due to effective prestress plus
dead load.
The following load factors apply:
Dead Load - Component and Attachments: DC 1.50
Moment at mid-span should be determined for self weight, deck slab weight and haunch
weight, Mu:
Mu = (1.5) [4658.1 + 4037.4+ 240.3] =13,403.6 K-FT
The bending moments and shear forces for all required limit states at 10th
points of the span
are shown in Tables 3.1 and 3.2:

4. Total number and arrangement of strands
4.1 Estimated Number of Strands
The total number and arrangement of strands was estimated using service III and NCHRP 18-07
approximate loss method. Refer to attached Excel sheet 4.1 and Tables 4.1 and 4.2. The total
number of bottom strands can be found = 85-0.6 in. strands: 46 straight strands at the bottomflange, which is the maximum number of strands that the bottom flange can accommodate. The
rest of the strands will be harped in three groups at 0.2L, 0.3L, and 0.4 L as shown in Figures 4-1
and 4-2. The strands can be harped using a hold down device or steel pipes attached to theprestressing bed.

4.2 Number of Strands Using Detailed NCHRP 18-07 Method
Use service III and NCHRP 18-07 (LRFD 2005) detailed loss method. For this iterative process
to be done quickly, the Loss spreadsheet is used. Refer to Spreadsheet 4.2 and Tables 4.3 and
4.4. The total number of bottom strands can be refined to 82-0.6 in. strands: 46 straight strands at
the bottom flange and 36 harped strands. To avoid excessive uplift force on the prestressing bed,a maximum of 12 strands will be harped at any point. Thus, the 36 strands will be harped in three

groups. The drape point locations will be assumed at 0.2L, 0.3L, and 0.4 L as shown in figures 5-1 and 5-2. Further design checks may require altering this arrangement. In addition, 4 straight top
strands will be used for mild reinforcement support and for control of top cracking at prestress
release. For the top strands, the tension will be specified at 10 ksi. The effect of the top strandson the total prestress force will be ignored.

5. Strength I at Mid-Span
The reinforcement bars in the deck slab and the top flange strands are ignored in thesecalculations. The I-beam top flange is assumed to be a rectangle of equal area to the actual flange
area. The depth can found to be 3.93 in for the actual width of 48.2 in. of the NU I girder top
flange shape. The strain-compatibility approach was used to calculate the mid- span section
strength. See Table 5.1 for the results. The last cycle of the iterative analysis will be redone bylong hand below to explain the spreadsheet analysis and to check its results (See attached Excel
Spreadsheet 5.1 for Strength I).
Straight strands As1=460.217=9.982 IN2 y1 = 81.60 IN from top of slab
Harped Strands As2=360.217=7.812 IN2
y2 = 78.20 IN from top of slab
From the spreadsheet, the value of the compression block depth, is a = 11.06 IN This indicates
that the compression block is within the top flange of the beam: 11.07-7 (slab) 1 (haunch) =
3.07 IN.
According to the average beta formula source PCI BDM and LRFD,
Deck 1 = 0.85-0.05(fc-4) = 0.85-0.05(5-4) = 0.8Girder 1 = 0.85-0.05(fc-4) = 0.85-0.05(10-4) = 0.65
Average 1 = (Ac1fc11+ Ac2fc22)/ (Ac1fc1 + Ac2fc2) = 0.76
c = a/ 1 = 14.55 IN
The compression force in the deck slab and moment due to force at the top of the deck slab is
Fc1 = 0.855(9127) = 3213.00 KIPMc1 = 3213.00 7/2 = 11245.50 K-IN
Similarly, the compression force in the haunch and moment due to this force at the top fiber ofthe deck slab are 204.85 kips and 1536.38 kip-in; the compression force in the beam top flangeand moment due to this force at the top of the deck slab are 1259.17 kips, and 12008.27 kip- in.
The spreadsheet is able to treat each strand layer individually. For convenience in the handcalculation check, we will assume two groups of strands, the straight strands and the harped
strands, clustered at two points.

Sum of forces = 2,049.66 +2627.36 -204.85 -1259.17-3213.00 = 0.0
Since strain in the extreme bottom stand layer is larger than 0.005, the resistance factor =1.
Sum of M =1 (160,283.4 +217,045.84 -12,008.27 -1536.38 -

need to be revisited unless the final number of strands has been extremely reduced. This also
tells us that the assumed final concrete strength of 10 KSI may be too high. The Strength IV
check should confirm this. We also have an option to try to use a lower deck strength at thistime.

6. Strength IV Limit State
This limit state is used to check the capacity of the precast section only. The Excel strain-
compatibility program was used to design the section. The capacity of the precast section
without any mild reinforcement in the compression zone was estimated at:
FTKIPMn = 0.12314 against the demand of :
FTKIPMu = 6.13403 (from table 3-1)
The mild reinforcement was provided in the top flange to obtain the adequate moment capacity.8 # 9 was used to satisfy this limit state. This reinforcement is extended to the 0.4 L. The 6 # 9
are extended to the 0.3 L.
The section at point 0.4L with 6 # 9 in the top flange has capacity of
FTKIPMn
= 0.12922 > FTKIPMu = 5.12867 . OK
The section at 0.3L without any top reinforcement has a capacity of
FTKIPMn
= 0.11774 > FTKIPMu = 51.11259 . OK
For brevity, the hand calculation for the last iteration only is shown below (mid-span).

7. Required Concrete Strength at Release
Because of the extreme length of this beam, it is necessary to set the lifting points some distance
away from the beams ends to help resist buckling of the top flange. We will assume that a careful
lifting analysis has resulted in identifying the lifting points at 20 feet from each end.
Based on NDOR Policy and January-February 2001 PCI paper by Tadros et al., Strength Design
of Pretensioned Flexural Concrete Members at Prestress Transfer, the prestressed member canbe treated as a reinforced concreted column subjected to moment combined with axial
compression force equal to the force in the prestressing steel just before prestress transfer.
Therefore, we can solve for the neutral axis location c and 'cif by using the equilibrium
equations.

Points
The flexural moment capacities were estimated at 10th
points of the span. For the end section, themoment capacity was based on 8 bottom strands bent in the end diaphragm. The embedment of
those strands was assumed to be equal to 36 inches, which allowed us to develop puf8.0 .
The moment capacity of the section located at the distance equal to the development length wasalso estimated. The development length of prestressing strands was calculated using the formula:

10. Shear Design
10.1 Transverse Shear Reinforcement
In this example, the girder will be designed for vertical shear at the critical section for shear.In a full design, other sections along the length of the girder would have to be designed as
well.
10.1.1 Critical Section for Shear
Critical section for shear is located at distance dv from the support:
dv = Effective shear depth (LRFD revision 2004)
= Distance between the resultants of tensile and compressive forces
The depth of the compression block, a, was computed in determining the moment
capacity of the section (see Section 3.1.4.5). You can also use the output of Excelprogram Strength I, Strain-Compatibility Approach AASHTO LRFD @ critical
section (cell M8).
( )2
ationcriticalgchh
add fgev +== = (78.7 + 7.0 + 1 -22.19) - (10.05/2)

But dv need not be taken less than the greater of (LRFD 5.8.2.7)
0.9 de = (0.9) (78.7 + 7 + 1 22.19) = (0.9) (64.51) = 58.06 IN
0.72 h = (0.72) (78.7 + 7 + 1) = 62.42 IN GOVERNS
Therefore, use dv = 62.42 IN.
The critical section for shear is then
0.50 FT + 62.42 IN / 12 = 5.70 FT from centerline of support.
At the critical section for shear, Vu = 490.5 KIPS.

10.2 Longitudinal Reinforcement Requirement
In this example, the longitudinal reinforcement requirement will be checked at the
critical section for shear. The Specifications require that this requirement be satisfiedat each section of the girder. Therefore, in a full design, other sections along the
length of the girder would also have to be checked.

10.2.2 Available Longitudinal Force
The force to resist Treqd must be supplied by the reinforcement on the flexural tension
side of the member. In this case, the available reinforcement consists of the straight
strands. The available force that can be provided by these strands at the critical
section for shear must be determined considering the lack of full development due tothe proximity to the end of the girder.

The location at which T must be provided is where the failure crack is assumed forthis analysis, which radiates from the inside face of the support and crosses the
centroid of the straight strands. The angle determined during shear design at thislocation is used here. The inside face of the support is 12 IN from the end of the
girder.
Figure 10.1: Assumed failure crack and location where
crack crosses straight strands.
The total effective prestress force for the straight strands is
Pes = Aps fpe = 9.982 IN2 (172.0 KSI) = 1716.9 KIPS.
The distance from the bottom of the girder to the centroid of these strands is
dg = c.g. straight strands = 4.09 IN.
Measured from the end of the girder, the crack crosses the centroid of the straightstrands at
x = + cotdgb = 12 IN + 4.09 IN (cot 21.22) = 22.53 IN.
This location is within the transfer length, t , so the available stress is less than the
effective prestress force for the straight strands. The available prestress force, Tavail,at x is therefore computed assuming a linear variation in stress from the end of the
girder to the transfer length. The transfer length, t , is 60 db or 36 IN. (LRFD 5.11.4.1.)
Tavail = Pes ( )tx = 1716.9 KIPS (22.53 IN / 36 IN) = 1,074.1 KIPS.
Since Tavail = 1074.1 KIP > Treqd = 736.5 KIPS, the straight strands are adequate to
resist the required longitudinal force at this location, and no additional reinforcement
is required.
If the strands had not been adequate to resist the force, additional mild reinforcement
would have been added to provide the remainder of the required force.
It is good practice to bend at least 8 strands from the bottom layer of the strands.

11. Interface Shear Reinforcement
The girder will be designed for interface shear at the initial critical section for shear.
The width of the shear interface is equal to the width of the top flange of the girder,which is 48.20 IN. Therefore, bv = 48.20 IN.
Assume that the top surface of the girder is intentionally roughened to an amplitude
of 0.25 IN and cleaned prior to placement of the deck concrete. The requirement for
intentional roughening of the top of the girder should be indicated on the plans.
Compute the factored horizontal shear, Vh:
Vh = Vu/ de (LRFD C5.8.4.1-1)
The definition for de given for this equation is the same as dv.
Therefore use dv as computed above.
Vh = Vu/ dv = 490.5/ 62.42 = 7.858 KIPS/IN.
Since Vh Vn and = 0.9,
Vn reqd = Vh/ = 7.858 / 0.9 = 9.702 KIPS/IN.
Check limits on Vn:
Vn 0.2 fc Acv or 0.8 Acv :0.8 Acv is controlling the design
Acv = area of concrete engaged in shear transfer
= vb = (48.2 IN) (1.0 IN) = 48.2 IN2
Use = 1.0 IN to compute Vh on a per inch basis.
Vn reqd = 7.858 KIPS/IN 0.2 fc Acv = (0.8) (48.2) = 38.56 KIPS / IN. O.K.

12. Design and detail the end zone reinforcement
12.1 Anchorage Zone Reinforcement
LRFD 5.10.10.1 requires that the factored bursting resistance of a pretensioned
anchorage zone be at least 4.0% of the total prestressing force. This resistance isprovided by vertical reinforcement close to the ends of pretensioned girders.
The factored bursting resistance is given by
Pr = fs As , (LRFD 5.10.10.1-1)
where
Pr = (0.04) Po = (0.04) [(0.75) (270 KSI) (17.794IN2)] = 144.13 KIP
Note: The total jacking force prior to any losses is used as the total prestressing
force Po in this calculation:
fs is the working stress in the reinforcement, not to exceed 20 KSI.

Therefore, at least 7.20 IN2 of vertical reinforcement must be placed within h/5 =
78.7 IN / 5 = 15.7 IN from the end of the member. Stirrups placed for vertical or
interface shear can also be used to satisfy this requirement since this reinforcement is
only required to resist forces at release.

Note: The first spacing from the end of the girder to the first stirrup is 3 inches as

12.2 Confinement Reinforcement
In accordance with LRFD 5.10.10.2, confinement reinforcement of not less than # 3
bars at a spacing of not more than 6.0 IN shall be placed within 1.5 d (say 1.5 h =
9.00 FT) from the end of the girder. These bars shall be shaped to enclose thestrands.
