CROSS-FRAMES
(Article 6.7.4.1)
The need for diaphragms or cross-frames shall be
investigated for all stages of assumed construction
procedures and the final condition. The investigation
should include, but not be limited to the following:
w Transfer of lateral wind loads from the bottom of the girder
to the deck & from the deck to the bearings,
w Stability of the bottom flange for all loads when it is in
compression,
w Stability of the top flange in compression prior to
curing of the deck,
w Consideration of any flange lateral bending effects, and
w Distribution of vertical dead & live loads applied to the
structure.

LRFD Negative Moment Loading
(Article 3.6.1.3.1)
For negative moment between points of
permanent-load contraflexure & interior-pier
reactions, check an additional load case:
n Add a second design truck to the design lane
load, with a minimumheadway between the
front and rear axles of the two trucks equal to
50 feet.
n Fix the rear-axle spacing of both design trucks
at 14 feet, and
n Reduce all loads by 10 percent.

DEFLECTION EVALUATION
Refer to Article 3.6.1.3.2:
Deflection is taken as the larger of:
- That resulting from the design truck by
itself.
- That resulting from 25% of the design
truck together with the design lane

CONSTRUCTIBILITY
Section 2-2 (Interior Pier)
In regions of negative flexure, the constructibility checks
for flexure generally do not control because the sizes of the
flanges in these regions are normally governed by the sum
of the factored dead and live load stresses at the strength
limit state. Also, the maximum accumulated negative
moments during the deck placement in these regions
typically do not differ significantly from the calculated DC
1
negative moments. Deck overhang brackets and wind
loads do induce lateral bending into the flanges, which can
be considered using the flexural design equations.
Web bend-buckling and shear should always be checked in
these regions for critical stages of construction (refer to the
design example).
