Pre-Con ALL PRESTRESSED BEAMS CONCRETE TRANSFER STRENGTH (fc;) Giders should be designed for 0 maximum f= 34MPo to ensure a one day production cycle, If @ higher tronsfer strength is required by design, then the lowest value dictated by the design should be spectied Note:Higher tronsfer strengths may be achieved in overnight curing time, but not consistent Therefore o two day production cycle moy be required ond may increase girder cost if fej is Greater thon J4MPa, The transler strength should consider that for production ond hondling the supports ore at least 1200mm from the girder ends RECOMMENDED PRESTRESS JACKING FORCE. 9) Design for rmokimum Pj =78%(Fpy Aps). for worm weather production (>5°C). Design for maximum Pj =72%(Fpy (Ape), for cald weother production (<5°C). Notes: 1) Worm concrete in cold weather increases initial prestress losses by expending the cold stel strond ofter it has been stressed. A temperature correction is applied to the strand on the doy of production by increasing the jacking force sufficiently to compensote for this expansion. Thus, the design volue for P; is achieved. Designs ossuming worm weather production but requiring cold weather production may be mocified on Pre-Con shop drawings by reducing P; per strond ond adding strands to mointain the designers total P; per girder. 2) The maximum P; = 78% (Fpu )(Aps) allows for sippage correction to strand pull, so os rot to exceed the code volue of 80%. 3) Consideration should be given to lowering the jocking force on deflected strands due to Tocolized bending stress ot the droped location SHIPPING AND ERECTION DETAILS The shop drowings will indicate additional details including temporary post—tensioning in the top flonge cond/or temporary bracing to abutments ond piers os required. These details are designed by Pre-Con t ‘alow sofe handing of the girders considering additionat loteral foods due to roodway superelevation ‘and wind. This usuolly applies to CPCI 1600, 1900 and 2300 girders.
