 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 concrete deck slabs. It will also provide
design aids and other sources of information along with cross references to other parts of this
manual to assist in the design and preparation of plans.

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

The practices and requirements set forth herein are intended to supplement or clarify the
requirements of the AASHTO 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 specifications, the more stringent requirements shall govern.

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 (Part 2) are as follows:

1. Bridge Layout reference points are revised to lines thru center of bearings/ piles.

2. Updated cantilever design values for CPSR railing and added cantilever layout content.

3. Removed Continuous Deck Slab Retrofitting Existing Bridge Detail, which is addressed in
Chapter 32.

NOTE:
Due to various restrictions on placing files in this manual onto the Internet, portions of the
drawings shown do not necessarily reflect the correct line weights, line types, fonts, arrowheads,
etc. Wherever discrepancies occur, the written text shall take precedence over any of the drawn
views.

PART 2

INTRODUCTION - CHAPTER 10 SHEET 1 of 1
FILE NO. 10.00-1
General:

A. Concrete deck slabs on bridges designed in accordance with AASHTO LRFD for HL-93
loading. Design shall be in accordance with LRFD Sections 3, 4, 5, 9, 13, and VDOT
Modifications. The empirical design method shall not be used.

Main reinforcement may be designed by use of the tables on File No. 10.01-4. This table is
based on the requirements of LRFD Design Specifications and a ratio of A’s/As = 0.5. A set of
example calculations is provided for a slab design and cantilever design in File Nos. 10.01-8
thru 10.01-11.

Distribution steel in the bottom of slabs shall be designed in accordance with LRFD Article
9.7.3.2 and office modifications. In the top of deck slabs, the minimum amount of distribution
steel shall be 50% of the amount computed for the slab bottom, but shall not exceed 12”
spacing. An example calculation is provided in File No. 10.01-12. See File No. 10.01-13 for
a summary.

B. The following shall be used for deck slabs supported by stringers, according to the c-c
stringer spacings shown:

Minimum Slab Spacing of Stringers

Thickness Steel Concrete
7 1/ 2” 6’-0” or less 6’-9” or less
8” over 6’-0” to 7’-0” over 6’-9” to 7’-9”
8 1/ 2” over 7’-0” to 10’-0” over 7’-9” to 10’-0”
9” over 10’-0” to 12’-0” over 10’-0” to 12’-0”

C. Main reinforcing bars shall be detailed as follows:

1. For skew angles from 0° to 20°, main reinforcement shall be placed parallel to ends of
slab with truss-type slab bars alternating with straight bars top and bottom.

2. For skews over 20°, all main reinforcement shall be placed perpendicular to centerline
of bridge. Main reinforcement in the end sections shall be detailed as straight bars
top and bottom. Section of slab requiring full-length main bars shall be detailed with
truss-type bars alternating with straight bars top and bottom. Consideration should be
given to reinforcing the ends of the slab by placing additional slab bars in the vicinity
of and parallel to end diaphragms.

3. Main reinforcement bars shall be #5, distribution bars shall be #4, and reinforcing bars
in negative moment regions over piers shall typically not be greater than a #6 bar.

4. 40’ and 60’ are standard lengths for reinforcing bars. Longitudinal bars should be
detailed using a series of 40’ bars with one bar at the end to make up the remaining
length. For bridge locations where shipping to the site is not an issue, consider using
a series of 60’ bars (instead of 40’) to reduce the number of lap splices.

D. For deck slabs cast in a single pour wider than 60’ to 80’, a longitudinal or construction joint
should be considered. For deck slabs cast in a single pour wider than 80’, a longitudinal joint
shall be provided.

E. Deck reinforcement shall typically be detailed as straight bars without hooks unless there is
insufficient length for development (top bars only).

F. The use of lightweight concrete (LWC) in decks of bridges with span lengths 150 feet or
greater shall be investigated for cost effectiveness.

G. Refer to File No. 11.01-3 for requirements pertaining to additional longitudinal steel in the
negative moment regions of continuous steel girders.

control criterion has been neglected in the design.
3. Design is applicable for decks supported on at least three stringers and having a width of
not less than 14 feet between centerlines of exterior stringers.
4. For steel beams/girders, a minimum top flange width of 12 inches is assumed.
* Design controlled by maximum spacing requirement per VDOT Modifications to LRFD.

DECK SLAB DESIGN TABLE FILE NO. 10.01-5
 CANTILEVER DESIGN
The cantilever deck slab shall be designed/detailed with additional #5 bars between the
transverse bars in the top layer. This is the minimum requirement of reinforcement with or
without additional analysis. The bars shall extend past the exterior beam/girder with the
development length extending past the contraflexure point in the slab.

Yield-line analysis will not be required if all four of the following requirements are met:

beam/girder spacing is less than or equal to 12’-0”

cantilever length is less than or equal to 0.3 x beam/girder spacing

railing/parapet type (if any on the cantilever) is an approved VDOT crash tested system.

additional loads (i.e., soundwall, utilities, etc.) are not added to the cantilever except for
fencing as shown in BPF-series standards.

For all other cases, the cantilever deck slab shall be designed in accordance with the AASHTO
LRFD A13.4 with the revisions described herein.

For Design Case 1, the deck overhang supporting concrete parapet railings shall be designed to
resist the combined effects of tensile force T and moment Ms, and other applicable forces at the
inside face of the parapet or the gutter line, as specified as follows.

For an interior parapet segment:

For an end parapet segment:

Ft = transverse force specified in Table A13.2-1 (kips) of AASHTO LRFD

Lt = longitudinal length of distribution of impact force Ft (ft)

H = height of wall (ft)

T = tensile force per unit of deck length (kip/ft)

Ms = design moment in the in the deck overhang due to Ft (kip-ft/ft), not greater than 110%
of the average of Mc of the bridge railing/parapet, Mc_ave

Mc = resistance of the parapet about an axis parallel to the longitudinal axis of the bridge
(kip-ft/ft)

CPSR (TL-4) 8.6 11.8 15.4 15.4 16.9 16.9
At other sections in the deck overhang, at some distance from the parapet, the value of T and M s
per unit length may be decreased by spreading them at an angle of 30o.

For the VDOT approved Kansas Corral rails, the deck overhang may be designed with the
method described above.

For the deck supporting Post-and-Beam railings, the deck overhang shall be designed in
accordance with the AASHTO LRFD A13.4.3.

Designer shall consider additional loads on the cantilever or blister. Examples include fencing,
soundwall attachments, supports for sign structures, etc.

CANTILEVER LAYOUT
The minimum deck overhang shall be 10” beyond the edge of the top flange for steel
beam/girders and 3” beyond the edge of the top flange for prestressed concrete bulb-T beams.
The maximum deck overhang shall be 0.35 x the beam/girder spacing or 4’-0”, whichever is less.
Curved girders are required when straight beams/girders cannot meet the geometric limits for the
bridge deck overhangs.

The designer shall not design deck overhang or bridge railing/parapet geometry that does not
provide a smooth, continuous alignment in meeting the allowable geometric limits provided
above. Abrupt breaks in the alignment of the bridge railing/parapets will not be allowed. To
provide a smooth transition for the bridge railing/parapet, the designer may design the overhang
to extend not more than 2” beyond the back of the bridge railing/parapet.

Flares on the inside or outside of the deck may be provided to accommodate roadway features
such as the addition of a lane or ramp. Deck overhangs must still meet the geometric limits
provided above.

Design distribution reinforcement:

For effective length, use S = 10’-0”. Neglect the small deduction in span for the thickness of the
web in steel beams. For prestressed beams, subtract the thickness of the web to determine the
effective length.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

This section of the chapter establishes the general practices and requirements regarding the
detailing of concrete deck slabs.

The items in blocks are for the designer’s information only and are not to be placed on the plans.
See Introduction File No. 10.00-1.

CONCRETE BOLSTER (HAUNCH) DETAIL:

All bolsters (haunches) for concrete deck slabs on concrete or steel stringers in excess of 4” in
height shall be reinforced.

All bolsters greater than 7” may require additional reinforcement and larger size(s) of bars.
Recommend spacing the U-stirrup bars for larger bolsters with the same spacing as the
transverse reinforcement.

NOTES TO DESIGNER:

1. DECK SLAB CONCRETE PLACEMENT SCHEDULE shall be placed on plans for all
continuous steel beam or girder spans with concrete decks.

2. Locate construction joints in the positive moment ranges near points of contraflexure and
show dimensions to indicate joints.

Notes to designer:

The following two notes shall be added to the table of elevations in the plan assembly:

Slab elevations are on top of finished roadway at faces of curbs (and median);
those shown on ____________ centerline are at point of finished grade
denoted on Transverse Section.

Points along faces of curbs (and median) are aligned (radially)(________) with
points on centerline unless otherwise shown. Straight line interpolation for
intermediate elevations on top of finished roadway may be made, in any
direction, between any two adjacent points.

At a minimum, elevations shall be shown at tenth points for spans > 100 feet and
quarter points for spans < 100 feet. Points shall be from C/L bearing to C/L bearing.
Additionally, provide elevations at end of slab.

Additional points may be needed if the limiting interval (based on vertical or

horizontal curvature) controls. The limiting interval is the smaller of the two limitations.

0 .2
For vertical curvature, the limiting interval is .
M

CONCRETE DECK SLAB PART 2

DATE: 31Oct2019
DECK SLAB ELEVATIONS SHEET 1 of 2
DECK SLAB ELEVATION LAYOUT NOTES FILE NO. 10.04-1
 R
For horizontal curvature, the limiting interval is 0.2 where R is the radius of
e
centerline curvature in feet and e is the lateral superelevation rate.

EXAMPLE

Given:

g1 = -2.65 %
g2 = -1.56 %
LC = 400 feet
R = 5000 feet
e = 2.00 %

Determine maximum interval based on vertical curvature:

ABS(g2 - g1 ) ABS(-0.0156 - (-0.0265))

M = = = 0.00002725
LC 400

0 .2 0.2
l = = = 38.35 feet
M 0.00002725

Determine maximum interval based on horizontal curvature:

R 5000
l = 0 .2 = 0.2 = 100 feet
e 0.02

∴ Maximum interval is 38.35 feet.

GENERAL INFORMATION:
This section of the chapter includes deck plan sheets with a checklist for completing them.

A typical project will normally have a single deck plan sheet. Space permitting, other details
pertaining to the deck may be shown on this sheet. In all cases, the deck plan sheet shall contain
all of the items shown in this section. Information placed in blocks on the sample deck plan
sheets is for designer’s information only and is not to be placed on the deck plan sheet.

For major projects or long structures, the deck plan sheet may have to be extended to additional
sheets to adequately show the complete structure.

While previously, it was recommended that for repetitive spans only one deck plan needed to be
drawn for a typical unit. This practice is no longer recommended. All spans should be drawn to
simplify possible field revisions.

Deck plan sheet shall provide the following information: plan of the deck slab showing
dimensions and reinforcement, end bolster details if needed, pouring sequence, deck slab
elevations, and corner details if needed. If not shown on the deck plan sheet, these details may
be shown on additional sheets.

CHECK LIST FOR DECK PLAN SHEET:

1 Deck plans shall be drawn to a scale of sufficient size to fit the full size sheet and still be
legible when reduced to half-size. It is typical for the final drawing to be shown not to
scale due to the fact that the scale needs to be exaggerated for the end of slab bars.

2 Show additional details if needed. Corner details, end diaphragm. etc. Deck slab
elevations and pouring sequence may be shown on the DECK PLAN sheet or on a
separate sheet. For skewed bridges, adjust dimension of terminal wall extension
beyond end of slab such that the desired length of the terminal wall overhang (see
applicable terminal wall standard) is achieved.

3 For full integral abutments, show and label:

Line thru center of piles

4 For other abutments, show and label:

Line thru center of bearings

5 Show End of slab.

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

7 Show and label CL 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., C L Pier 1/
C
L Bent 1.

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

9 Dimension span length(s) along the centerline of the baseline . This is the distance
between the face of backwall/end of slab and the CL of pier/bent, CL pier/bent, C
L to CL
pier/bent, and CL pier/bent to face of backwall/end of slab. etc.

10 Label transverse bar designation and spacing.

11 Laps should be shown parallel to skew angle.

12 Dimension the distance between End of slab and Line thru center of bearings/piles at
the intersections to CL / BL of bridge.

13 Show skew angle.

14 For instructions on completing the title block, see File Nos. 04.02-1 and -2.

15 For instructions on completing the project block, see File No. 04.01.
