with a continuous keeper plate.
PART - 5 DETAILS OF DESIGN
5.1 The fabricators structural design of the bridge(s) shall be by or under the direct supervision of an experienced
engineer who is licensed in the state of purchase. Design shall be in conformance with the governing
specifications contained herein. Design calculations and fabrication plans shall be stamped, signed and dated
by the engineer.
5.2 The engineer shall use a three dimensional frame analysis for the truss design considering all loads and load
combinations specified by AASHTO. All joints capable of transferring moments shall be modeled as fixed or
continuous members.
5.3 Trusses shall be designed as fully welded except at required field splices. Design shall consider the pony truss
top chord stability criteria as defined in AASHTO where applicable. Truss vertical and floor members shall
make a rigid frame to resist all lateral loads and stability loads specified by AASHTO.
5.4 All welded connections shall be designed for the loads present at the connections. At the discretion of the
design engineer the connections may be designed to LRFD criteria. Main member truss splices shall be
designed as bolted. Main member connections shall use ASTM A325 bolts to match the material properties of
the truss members and shall be designed as slip critical connections. Field installed bolts shall be fully
tightened to AASHTO pretensions specified. Flaying surfaces shall not be painted and shall have a Class A
contact surfaces. Splice plates, bolt heads, and nuts shall be touch up painted by the erector. Diagonal, vertical
and other braces may be spliced with splice plates or through bolts at the option of the fabricator's engineer.

Vertical deflection of the main truss due to service pedestrian load shall not exceed L/500 of the span.
5.5.2
Horizontal deflection of the main truss due to lateral wind deflection shall not exceed L/400 of the span.
5.5.3
Deflection due to occasional vehicle loads shall not be considered.
5.6 BEARING DEVICES
A. Bearing devices should be designed to consider the temperature movements of the bridge plus the rotational
movements caused by design dead and pedestrian loads. The most economical method, as suggested by the
National Steel Bridge Alliance is the use of elastomeric bearing pads. For longer spans, a PTFE surface may
be required to reduce longitudinal forces and reduce bearing depth.
5.6.1
Elastomeric bearings shall be used at each support of the bridge. Bearings shall be designed in accordance
with Method A, preferred, or Method B as defined in the AASHTO bridge specification. Elastomer hardness
shall conform to the temperature zones shown in AASHTO. Elastomeric pads shall be designed as steel
reinforced where necessary. Cotton duct or fiberglass reinforcement shall not be permitted.
5.6.2
Pads shall be designed for the temperature differences specified and for the actual rotations occurring at the
bearing due to dead and pedestrian live loads. If local temperature records show a larger range of temperature
02850-3
than AASHTO, the Engineer/Architect shall so specify.
5.6.3
Anchor Rod(s) shall be designed at the fixed and expansion end of the bridge for the forces present at that
point. Anchor rods conforming to ASTM F1554 Grade 36, 55 or 105 shall be used. J shaped or hooked rods
shall not be used if uplift is present under 0.9DL plus any uplift forces. The design shall consider
longitudinal, transverse and uplift forces present under the standard AASHTO load cases. If epoxy rods are
used the foundation design engineer shall be given the design loads and is responsible for the embedment
design and details. (AASHTO has never addressed the design of anchor rods before the 2004 edition of the
LRFD design specification. Their design is addressed in section 14.8.3 of the LRFD specification or in ACI
318 Appendix D.)
PART 6 - ATTACHMENTS
6.1 Horizontal safety rails shall be placed on the structure to a minimum height of 5 feet above the deck surface.
The rails shall be so spaced as to prevent a 4" sphere from passing through the rail. Rails may consist of
round, square or rectangular hollow steel sections, angles turned toes vertical, or other steel section as
required. Rails shall be welded directly to the truss or to spacers which are welded to the truss.
6.2 The bridge shall have a tubular handrail on each side. Handrail shall be mounted to the truss members to
supply a clear 1.5" space between the inside of the rail and any truss member. Rail shall be designed for a
horizontal load of 50 pif applied in any direction and a non concurrent load of 200 lbs in any direction applied
at the top of the rail. When rails are designed to allowable stress criteria, the allowable stresses for members
and attachments may be increased by one-third.
PART 7 - WELDING
7.1 Welding procedures and weld qualification test procedures shall conform to the provisions of AWS D1.1,
"Structural Welding Code," latest edition. Filler metal shall be in accordance with the applicable AWS Filler
Metal Specification, and shall match the corrosion properties of the base metal.

3.03 CURING AND PROTECTION
A. Curing:
1. Immediately after surface defects have been repaired, apply a spray coat of curing compound to all
exposed surfaces, including slabs, walls, beams and columns in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Protect exposed steel keyways and other embedded items from the curing
compound. Water cure, as specified in paragraph B hereunder, all concrete surfaces that are to be
exposed to wastewater, surfaces that are to coated with a coal tar epoxy system, and concrete floors
requiring a bond for special finishes.
2. Do not apply compound during periods of rainfall. Should the film become damaged from any
cause within the required curing period, immediately repair the damaged portions with additional
compound. Upon removal of forms, immediately coat the newly exposed surfaces to provide a
curing treatment equal to that provided for the surface.
3. Curing and Sealing Compound: Use clear compound conforming to Federal Specification
TT -C -800A, 30% solids content minimum, having test data from an independent laboratory
indicating a maximum moisture loss of 0.030 grams per sq. cm. when applied at a coverage rate of
300 sq. ft per gallon, and equal to Super Floor Coat or Super Pliocure by The Euclid Chemical
Company or Masterseal 66 by Master Builders. Furnish manufacturers certification as required.
4. Apply specified clear curing and sealing compound to all horizontal areas so noted on the Drawings
or in the Specifications. Apply immediately after final finishing. Apply this compound to
non-structural construction joints of slabs on grade to act as a bond breaker prior to placement of
adjacent concrete.
B. Water Curing Method:
Cure all concrete that is to be water cured by either the wet burlap method, by continuous fogging or
by covering the waterproof sheet.
1. Wet Burlap Method: Cover concrete surface with a double thickness of burlap, cotton mats, or other
approved materials, kept thoroughly saturated with water. Keep the fors wet until removed and
upon removal, start the curing specified herein immediately. Cure the concrete for a period of 7
days for normal Portland cement or 4 days for high early strength cement. Do not submerge
03100-5
concrete poured in the dry until it has attained sufficient strength to adequately sustain the stress
involved and do not subject it to flowing water across its surface until it has cured 4 days.
2. Continuous Fogging: Perform continuous fogging by fogging with a nozzle which so atomizes the
flow of water that a mist, and not a spray, is formed. Fog the concrete surface regularly without
allowing any part of the surface to become dry. Take all necessary precautions to prevent erosion of
the concrete surface by water.
3. Covering the Waterproof Sheets: Keep the entire area to be cured continuously wet by fogging, as
specified in the fogging paragraph above, for at least 18 hours and then immediately cover the
waterproof curing sheet conforming to ASTM C171, waterproof paper and polyethylene film, free
of holes or tears. Keep sheet fully fat, without wrinkles or air bubbles, held down tautly at all edges.
Do not use this method on slabs which will be exposed to view.
3.04 PLACING REINFORCEMENT

Note: Time periods in the table include all days except those in which the temperature falls below 40 degrees
F.
3.07 CONCRETE FINISHINGS
A. Repair of Surface Defects:
1. General: Repair surface defects, including tie holes immediately after form removal. Dampen the
area to be patched and an area at least 6 inches wide surrounding it to prevent absorption of water
from the patching mortar. Notify the Engineer prior to commencing operations.
2. Removal of Defective Concrete: Remove all honeycombed and other defective concrete down to
sound concrete. Cut edges perpendicular to the surface or slightly under cut. Sand blast surfaces to
receive repair.
3. Bonding Grout: Thoroughly dampen surfaces to be patched and apply a coat of bonding grout
consisting of one part cement to one part fine sand passing a No. 30 sieve and having the
consistency of thick cream.
03100-7
4. Placing Patching Mortar: After the bonding grout begins to lose its water sheen, apply a premixed
patching mortar, thoroughly consolidating it into place and striking it off so as to leave the patch
slightly higher than the surrounding surface. Leave mortar undisturbed for one hour to permit initial
shrinkage and then finally finish.
5. Tie Holes: After being cleaned and thoroughly dampened, fill the tie holes solid with patching
mortar.
B. Floated Finish: After concrete has been placed, consolidated, struck off and leveled, do not work the surface
further until water sheen has disappeared and the surface has hardened sufficiently to permit floating. During
the first floating, check the planeness of the slab with a 10 foot straightedge applied at no less than two
angles. Cut down all high spots and fill all low spots to produce a surface having the required tolerance.
Then refloat the slab to a uniform sandy texture.
C. Light Broomed Finish: After floating, power trowel slabs to receive a light broomed finish to produce a
smooth surface, relatively free of defects. Before the surface sets, pass a soft broom drag over the surface to
produce a surface uniform in texture and appearance.
D. Troweled Finish: After floating, power trowel slabs to receive a troweled finish to produce a smooth surface,
relatively free of defects. Hand trowel after the surface has hardened sufficiently. When a ringing sound is
produced as the trowel is moved over the surfaces, perform final troweling by hand to produce a surface
which is thoroughly consolidated, free from trowel marks, uniform in texture and appearance and plane to a
tolerance of 1/8 inch of 10 feet as determined by a 10 foot straightedge placed anywhere on the slab in any
direction.
E. Hardener Finish: Where indicated to receive a troweled hardener finish, water cure slabs without application
of curing and sealing agent. When slab is at least 20 days old and thoroughly dry, apply the hardener in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations. Where dry -shake hardener or slip resistant finish is
required, apply the hardener or slip -resistant product prior to complete curing and finishing, in accordance
with the requirements and recommendations of the product manufacturer.
F. Saw Cut Joints: Cut joints that are to be saw cut not sooner than 2 hours after the concrete is poured and not
later than 8 hours after the pour.
3.08 TESTS
