If there are holes in the tension flange at the section

under consideration, the tension flange shall also satisfy

the requirement specified in Article 6.10.1.8.

Load-resisting bolted connections either in or to

flexural members shall be proportioned to prevent slip
under the factored loads at each critical construction stage.
The provisions of Article 6.13.2.8 shall apply for
investigation of connection slip.

6.10.3.2—Flexure

6.10.3.2.1—Discretely Braced Flanges in

Compression

For critical stages of construction, each of the

following requirements shall be satisfied. For sections with
slender webs, Eq. 6.10.3.2.1-1 shall not be checked when
fe is equal to zero. For sections with compact or
noncompact webs, Eq. 6.10.3.2.1-3 shall not be checked.

dy = resistance factor for flexure specified in

Article 6.5.4.2.
foun = flange stress calculated without consideration of

flange lateral bending determined as specified in

Article 6.10.1.6 (ksi)

fe = flange lateral bending stress determined as

specified in Article 6.10.1.6 (ksi)

Few= nominal bend-buckling resistance for webs

specified in Article 6.10.1.9 (ksi)

Fre = nominal flexural resistance of the flange (ksi). Fre

shall be determined as_ specified in

Article 6.10.8.2. For sections in straight I-girder
bridges with compact or noncompact webs, the
lateral torsional buckling resistance may be taken
as M,- determined as specified in Article A6.3.3
divided by Syc. In computing F;,. for
constructibility, the web load-shedding factor, Rp,
shall be taken as 1.0.

Myc = yield moment with respect to the compression

flange determined as specified in Article D6.2
(kip-in.)

R, = hybrid factor specified in Article 6.10.1.10.1. For

hybrid sections in which fj, does not exceed the

specified minimum yield strength of the web, the
hybrid factor shall be taken equal to 1.0.
