Abstract:The 2007 AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Specifications contain prescriptive
requirements for the quantity and placement of confinement reinforcement located in the bottom
flange of pretensioned concrete I-girders. This chapter proposes a rational model that can be
used to design confinement reinforcement as an alternative to the prescriptive requirements of
AASHTO LRFD. The model considers a wide range of conditions and variations, yet is
intended to be practical enough for use by bridge design engineers. Variables in the design
model include: flange and bearing geometry, strand size and placement, effective prestress
force, concrete and steel material properties, and the effects of steel bearing plates. Derivation of
the model is presented, and the model is compared to experimental results from the published
literature.
