... – Prestressed, either constant depth or variable depth, and often prestressed longitudinally as well as transversely, on potentially very wide girder spacings • Alignment: – Right – Skew • Span Location: – Positive Moment Region – Negative Moment Regions considered composite where sufficient shear studs and longitudinal reinforcing steel are supplied • Applicable Limit State, e.g., – Service II and Fatigue (elastic) , and – Strength I and perhaps Strength II (possibly inelastic)

... contains information about the finite element modeling of the prestressed girder bridge structures investigated in this study, while Appendix O (provided in print herein and on the accompanying CD-ROM) presents worked design examples illustrating the use of the new proposed provisions for effective slab width.
