PCI eLearning Course T215: Design and Detailing of Full-Depth Precast Concrete Deck Panels-Bridge Deck Report Sample Design Calculations

Bridge Deck Report Sample Design Calculations

Pdf Summary

This report provides a comprehensive overview of the design and construction of full-depth precast concrete bridge deck panels. It includes information on panel handling, support systems, and installation. The report also discusses design considerations such as prestressing force and stresses in the concrete. It includes design calculations for various aspects of the deck panel system, including prestressing, flexural capacity, shear connectors, and reinforcement. The design ensures that the panels can withstand different load conditions, including vehicular collision loads and dead/live loads. The document provides recommendations for the use of high-strength threaded bars for prestressing and shear connectors for composite action. It also addresses negative moment areas, overhang sections, and longitudinal reinforcement. The design calculations ensure the structural integrity and safety of the system.
