... The web is subject to regional transverse bending which results in tensile stresses on the local slab. Detailed local analysis models were used to evaluate the local stresses resulting from longitudinal tendons generating transverse forces on curved webs.

... At Las Lomas, the centerline distance between interior and exterior webs was 11 feet. This scaled to 3 ft 8 in.
From page 47...
... A 5-ft curve was more than twice the clear height of the web and was thought to be sufficient to allow regional transverse bending. A 5-ft straight transition zone on each end insulated the curve from the complex stresses at anchorages.

... Specimen 1.0DC follows the Texas State Department of Highway and Public Transportation design of the San Antonio "Y" project with an arrangement that maintained a clear spacing between ducts equal to the diameter of the duct. It is believed that this allows for better consolidation and, more importantly, eliminates the single large discontinuity found at Las Lomas.

... Figure 5-12 shows similar strain contours, but in an end view at a lower displacement. Here the crack zones are also fully formed, but are easier to see in cross section.

... the regional moment calculation in the sloping exterior webs. Though not studied in depth, there was no apparent effect on the behavior of vertical webs caused by super-elevation so it was not included in the single cell section that was studied.
From page 53...
... The boundary conditions for the models were the same as for the UT Test simulation, which produced reasonable correlation between analysis and test. The model is a sector slice taken from a curve.

... than the vertical webs, but part of this difference was caused by being exterior webs rather than interior. Exterior webs have more flexible end conditions at their connection with the top and bottom slab, and this produces larger mid-height moments.

... The results of the parameter study were influenced by the fact that when the cover is reduced, for the same overall web thickness, the moment arm for the stirrups is increased, and this is an off-setting influence on pullout resistance. As will be discussed further in the conclusions, it appears appropriate to check cover concrete thickness for resistance to initial cracking, but not to include cover concrete tensile strength in the calculation of regional transverse bending strength.

... For the single-cell example, with the 20-inch webs and double row of ducts, the finite element analysis showed capacities that were mostly lower than the hand-calculated regional transverse bending capacity (i.e., stirrup yield was reached at a range from 52% Pc up to 100% Pc) , but this is explained by the fact that, for the thicker web, failures were dominated by local lateral shearing.

... Regional transverse bending strength is directly tied to stirrup area, but it controls the design only when web/duct tie reinforcement is NOT used or when the websplitting/lateral shear-failure does not occur. In other words, if the failure mode is tending toward local duct breakout, stirrups are not a very effective deterrent against this failure mode.

... Where Mn is defined by an allowable tensile stress for concrete of , and φ = 0.55. The allowable tensile stress should also be reduced by the tensile stress in the concrete at the critical point due to regional transverse bending.

... Dimensional changes of 0.5 inch can make considerable difference in the stresses in the web concrete and reinforcing steel. The following is an example of how design and construction issues can affect conditions for lateral tendon breakout.
