... 78 5.9.5.4 – Refined Estimates of Time-Dependent Losses 5.9.5.4.1 – General For nonsegmental Prestressed members, more accurate values of creep-, shrinkage-, and relaxationrelated losses than those specified in Article 5.9.5.3 may be determined in accordance with the provisions of this Article. For precast pretensioned girders without a composite topping and for precast or castin-place nonsegmental post-tensioned girders, the provisions of Articles 5.9.5.4.4 and 5.9.5.4.5, respectively, shall be considered before applying the provisions of this Article.

... 79 5.11.4 – Development of Prestressing Strand 5.11.4.1 – General In determining the resistance of pretensioned concrete components in their end zones, the gradual buildup of the strand force in the transfer and development lengths shall be taken into account. The stress in the prestressing steel may be assumed to vary linearly from 0.0 at the point where bonding commences to the effective stress after losses, fpe, at the end of the transfer length.
