Girder: Girder for code check

Type of Construction [ShoredConstruction/UnshoredConstruction]: For steel I-girder bridges, unshored construction is commonly employed. In this method, any permanent load applied before the concrete deck has hardened or become composite is assumed to be borne entirely by the steel section, while any permanent load and live load applied after this stage are assumed to be supported by the composite section. In the case of shored construction, all permanent load is assumed to be applied after the concrete deck has hardened or become composite, and this information should be clearly stated in the contract documents.

Deck Reinforcement

In the computation of the sectional properties of a composite section for negative bending regions in a steel I-girder, deck reinforcement is taken into account.
