Recommended Practice for Lateral Stability of Precast, Prestressed Concrete Bridge Girders, 2nd Edition PRINT (CB-02-26H)
The revised Recommended Practice presents the methodology to analyze the lateral stability of long, slender bridge girders. Each stage of a girder’s transition from the casting bed to its final location in the bridge is considered. Guidance covers how to handle girders with embedded or attached devices from the top and how to support girders from below during storage, transit, and in various conditions on the bridge during construction. Topics expanded or added in this edition include an explanation of roll stability theory; the role of top temporary strands on girder stability; methods to estimate hauling parameters such as truck roll stiffness; special cases such as girders with unequal overhangs during hauling, eccentric loadings, and preformed camber; and a comprehensive girder design procedure that considers lateral stability. An updated calculation of post-erection bracing forces is provided.
This is a must-have publication for all stakeholders in bridge design, fabrication, hauling, and construction.
