1 GENERAL INFORMATION: This section of the chapter establishes the practices and requirements necessary for the design and detailing of deck slab extensions at abutments. For general requirements and guidelines see File Nos thru -5. The details shown in this section are intended only to provide the designer with the necessary detailing practices and requirements for the detailing of deck slab extensions. Concrete deck slab main and distribution reinforcement shall be detailed and placed in accordance with the requirements set forth in Chapter 10 except where otherwise noted in this section. Deck slab extensions shall be designed to resist the loads and forces to which the bridge deck system may be subjected. ES series bars shown in the details contained in this section shall be of the size and spacing required when combined with the deck slab distribution reinforcement (SL series bars), the deck slab extension will have sufficient strength to resist these loads and forces. Deflection of deck slab extension plus live load deflection of bearing assembly shall be limited to no more than one-half the thickness of the expanded rubber joint filler on top of backwall in order to prevent any upward forces being transmitted into the deck slab extension. Sample design calculations are included in File Nos thru of this section to assist the designer in the design of deck slab extensions. Parapet/railing terminal walls shall be located on the superstructure. The end of slab shall be used as a reference line for the Beginning of bridge and End of bridge shown on the developed section along the centerline or baseline on the title sheet. End of slab shall be labeled on the deck slab plan. The back of backwall/stem shall be used as a construction/layout reference line on the plan view shown on the substructure layout, curved bridge layout, erection diagram the abutment details. Deck slab extension details shall be shown with the Deck Slab Plan, Deck Slab Elevations and Deck Slab Placement Schedule in the bridge plan assembly. Deck slab extension details shall be shown using phantom lines with abutment sections. For location of deck slab extension details in the bridge plan assembly, see File No The design and detailing of abutments for use with deck slab extensions is similar to that for abutments. For design and detailing of abutments, see Chapter 17. Wingwall haunches shall be designed to resist the moment and shear transferred through the rub plates. For details of abutment drains, see Chapter 22. On projects where the deck extension is utilized and an approach slab is required, then a buried approach slab shall be used. For details of buried approach slabs, see Chapter 19. Details of drainage details specific to using a buried approach slab with deck slab extension are included in this section.

2 GENERAL INFORMATION (Continued): The minimum depth of deck slab extension for steel beam/girder superstructures shall be 12. Deck slab extension shall bear uniformly on the top of end diaphragm for design strength. On structure widths up to approximately 48', the designer shall connect the outside depths by a straight line, provided the maximum depth is not exceeded. Examples of deck extension on steel are shown on sheet For structure widths greater than 48', the designer shall slope the backwalls parallel to top of deck maintaining the minimum depth. Designer has some flexibility in determining whether to design straight lined or to design parallel to cross slope. Other considerations in this determination would be the elevations at the outside edges of deck slab. Certain gradients and skews could increase or decrease these numbers and should be checked. The depth and size of diaphragms are additional factors in design. Straight line design provides for easier construction. Less abutment elevations calculations are needed for design. Parallel to cross slope provides for a more uniform design. Lower transverse forces are at the acute haunches. Smaller rub plates and smaller load applied to wing haunch may be additional considerations. The depth of deck slab extension shall not exceed 1-8. Bottom of deck slab extension and top of abutment backwall shall be sloped parallel to finished grade of deck slab while maintaining the minimum depth of 12. See transverse sections on sheet The deck slab extends pass the back of backwall by four (4) inches. This dimension is affected by the thermal movement of the superstructure. The four (4) inches shall be set so that at 60 F it is at the midpoint of its movement.

7 Summary For the example problem, assume that no additional considerations affect the design. The minimum and maximum depth requirements for deck slab extension with crown deck utilizing straight-line from exterior to exterior are met. Exterior depth of deck = 13.0 > 12.0 OK Depth of deck at exterior diaphragm = Centerline depth of deck = < 20.0 OK > 12.0 OK If design is parallel to cross-slope, the design depth is to top of diaphragm. Design depth would be If straight-line method is utilized, the design depth is limited to the exterior depth of deck due to the cross-slope of the deck. For ease of fabrication, use straight-line method with a design depth of 13.0 Cover = 3.5 Distance to centerline of reinforcement d = = 9.50 in.

The resulting deflection is in. Deflection in bearing: The deflection of the bearing is also affected by the deflection of the live load applied. The compressive deflection and long term creep deflection shall be considered. The deflection of the cantilever is limited to one-half the thickness of the expanded rubber joint filler to prevent any significant upward forces to the deck extension. If the there is more than 0.25 inch deflection than the expanded rubber joint filler may be increase to 3 / 4 thickness.
