Precast-prestressed Girder Bridges

Define additional horizontal interface shear reinforcement at the girder/slab interface.
The bars in these zones are used to resist horizontal interface shear and are used in addition to any primary bars that have been extended into the deck. This zone layout is independent of the primary zones.

NOTE: This input generally isn't used any more. In the LRFD 1st Edition 1994, 5.8.4, a minimum of four bars where required to cross the interface plane with the deck. It was common to add extra bars in the top flange of girders that had two bars extended into the deck, combined with two stirrup legs, to meet the four bar minimum. This requirement was removed in LRFD 2nd Edition 1998.
