For reinforced concrete decks, width of primary strip in mm for overhang is determined
as:
1140 + X
Where X = distance from load to point of support in mm.
For reinforced concrete decks, either parallel or perpendicular to the traffic, the width of
primary strip in mm is determined as:
1. The distance between the edge of the deck and inside face of the barrier plus
300 mm plus half of the full strip.
2. The full strip width.
3. 1800 mm.
The effective width of strip, with or without edge beam, is equal to smaller of the following
two:
1. The distance between the transverse edge of the deck and the center line of
the barring plus half of the full strip.
2. The full strip width.
MAIN STEEL
The main steel is determined by analysing the equivalent interior and exterior slab strips
by determining the force effects in the slab strips per unit width of the strips.
DISTRIBUTION STEEL
1750 ⁄ √𝐒 ≤ 50%
3840 ⁄ √𝐒 ≤ 67%
DETAILED DESIGN
In detailed analysis and design the strips are not defined and full 3-D analysis is done for
actual dimensions of slab by placing the highest axle on the slab in the position that is
giving the maximum shear and moment. Results obtained are multiplied by "" and 1.75
to get the vales of shear and moment for LRFD.

DESIGN OF DECK
GIVEN DATA
Design of prestress concrete girder means the determination of dimensions of the cross
section and location of the prestress force such that the stresses before and after the
application of service loads remain within the ACI specified stress limits. The materials
behave elastically for such loads and hence straight line relationship between stresses
and strains may be considered. There are three different methods of design as under:
A trial section is selected out from standard shapes given by AASHTO. Prestress force and
eccentricity from the centroid of force is determined for the expected critical conditions
of loading. The resulting configuration is then checked at all the loading stages.
Choosing the cross sectional dimensions and selecting the pre stressing force and its
eccentricity from section centroid by satisfying the code limits.
A sufficient trial section is assumed in the start. The pre stress force and tendon profiles re-
selected to provide negative forces and moments to balance the expected service
loads.
The AASHTO stress limits for the prestressing tendons are given in the table:
CLASS U MEMBERS
Class U members behave as un-cracked and computed extreme fiber tensile stress at
service loads (ft) is lesser than or equal to 5/8 √f’c. Prestressed two-way slab systems
are also considered in this category.
CLASS T MEMBERS
These are transition members between cracked and un-cracked cases and computed
extreme fibre tensile stress at service loads (ft) is greater than
5/8√f’c and lesser than or equal to √f’c. For this class, the stresses at service loads are
allowed to be computed using the uncracked section as for class U. deflections are
calculated by behaviour curve for cracked section.
CLASS C MEMBERS
These are cracked members whose behavior at service loads must be studied using
cracked sections. For these members, the computed extreme fiber tensile stress at service
loads (ft) is greater than √f’c. Deflections are to be calculated by using behavior curve
for cracked section.
