Configuration Information
WSDOT
This
configuration implements the practices and policies of
the WSDOT Bridge
and Structures Office as
defined in the WSDOT Bridge Design Manual.
Use this when designing precast-prestressed girder bridges
for the Washington State Department of Transportation.
- August 15, 2024
- Updated live load factors for load rating per WSDOT BDM Chapter 13.
- March 19, 2024
- Updated default slab girder stirrup layout
- July 3, 2023
- Changed maximum girder hauling weight to 262 kip to match BDM

- August 28, 2019
- Fixed hauling compression limit for stresses with lateral bending
- July 3, 2019
- Changed Fatigue I live load factor to 1.75 to match changes to the AASHTO LRFD BDS 8th Edition
- May 14, 2019
- Fixed hauling tension limit for max. superelevation case. Moved W-DG girders to Legacy
- April 4, 2019
- Updated diaphragm layout rules for W, WF (WF-G, WF-DG, WF-TDG, and WF-PTG), U, and UF girders to match the BDM

AASHTO
Standard Girders from PCI BDM
This configuration is based on the Precast-Prestressed
Concrete Institute Bridge Design
Manual. The PCI-BDM does not provide complete information for girder
definition, traffic barriers, project criteria, etc. Much of data in
the libraries is based on engineering experience and practices at
WSDOT, however the project criteria reflects the AASHTO LRFD Bridge
Design Specifications. This library is neither created by nor endorsed
by AASHTO.
- July 3, 2019
- Changed Fatigue I live load factor to 1.75 to match changes to the AASHTO LRFD BDS 8th Edition
- November 9, 2016
- Fixed dimensions of Type I, II, and IV girders
PCI UHPC
This configuration is based on the structural design guidance given by the Precast-Prestressed
Concrete Institute in "Implementation of Ultra-High Performance Concrete in Long-Span Precast Pretensioned Elements for Concrete Buildings and Bridges", Phase II Report, September 15, 2021
