• 4.4.4 Precast Prestressed Girders & Bulb-Tee
Sections Composite with Concrete Deck
❑ Design method – simple spans for non-
composite loads and continuous for LL and
composite DL. Link slabs my be acceptable.
❑ Draped/Straight Strands, Debonding
• Straight-debonded strands preferred.
Draped strands may be used.
❑ Haunch
• 2-inch minimum haunch to provide for
camber variations
• Maximum 3/8-inch projection into the
slab is typical to avoid interference with
the bar support when matching SIP deck
forms are used
