End Region Detailing of Pretensioned Concrete Bridge Girders, Summary Report
Introduction of the Florida-I Beam (FIB) in 2009 renewed interest in prestressed concrete beam design, especially end region details. In this study, University of Florida researchers examined construction detailing at the FIB end region. End region detailing has a significant effect on the serviceability, behavior, and capacity of pretensioned concrete girders. In this project, experimental and analytical research programs were conducted to evaluate and quantify the effects of different end region detailing schemes. Using results from these programs, two end region design models were developed. The first model can be used to design confinement reinforcement to prevent lateral-splitting failure at ultimate strength. The second model focuses on serviceability criteria and can be used to calculate bottom flange stresses due to prestressing and thereby assess the likelihood of bottom flange cracking in the end region.
