I <br /> 1 The Contractor shall determine if girder bracing to control lateral bending during <br /> I 2 shipping is required and shall provide it if necessary. When bracing is required, the <br /> 3 Contractor shall submit a girder shipping plan with supporting calculations conforming to <br /> 4 the criteria specified below as a Type 2E Working Drawing. The Contractor shall <br /> 5 perform all bracing operations at no additional cost to the Contracting Agency. <br /> I6 <br /> 7 Criteria for Girder Stresses and Stability for Handling, Shipping and Erecting: <br /> 8 Girder stresses and lateral stability shall conform to the requirements of the WSDOT <br /> 19 Bridge Design Manual LRFD (M23-50) including Sections 5.2.1.C, 5.6.2.C.2 and 5.6.3. <br /> 10 <br /> 11 6-02.3(25)N Prestressed Concrete Girder Erection <br /> I 12 This section is revised to read: <br /> 13 <br /> 14 Before erecting any prestressed concrete girders, the Contractor shall submit an <br /> I 15 erection plan as a Type 2E Working Drawing. The erection plan shall conform to the <br /> 16 Criteria for Girder Stresses and Stability for Handling, Shipping and Erecting in <br /> 17 Section 6-02.3(25)M. The erection plan shall provide complete details of the erection <br /> I <br /> 18 <br /> 19 process including at a minimum: <br /> 20 1. Temporary falsework support, bracing, guys, deadmen, and attachments to <br /> 21 other Structure components or objects; <br /> I 22 <br /> 23 2. Procedure and sequence of operation; <br /> 24 <br /> 1 25 3. Girder stresses during progressive stages of erection; <br /> 26 <br /> 27 4. Girder weights, lift points, lifting embedments and devices, spreaders, and <br /> I 28 <br /> 29 angle of lifting cables in accordance with Section 6-02.3(25)L, etc.; <br /> 30 5. Crane(s) make and model, mass, geometry, lift capacity, outrigger size, and <br /> I 31 reactions; <br /> 32 <br /> 33 6. Girder launcher or trolley details and capacity (if intended for use); and <br /> I 34 <br /> 35 7. Locations of cranes, barges, trucks delivering girders, and the location of <br /> 36 cranes and outriggers relative to other Structures, including retaining walls and <br /> 37 wing walls. <br /> 1 38 <br /> 39 The erection plan shall include drawings, notes, catalog cuts, and calculations clearly <br /> 40 showing the above listed details, assumptions, and dimensions. Material properties and <br /> I 41 Specifications, structural analysis, and any other data used shall also be included. <br /> 42 <br /> 43 The concrete in piers and crossbeams shall reach at least 80 percent of design strength <br /> I 44 before girders are placed on them. <br /> 45 <br /> 46 The Contractor shall hoist girders only by the lifting embedments at the ends, always <br /> I 47 keeping the girders plumb and upright. When the girders are to receive a cast-in-place <br /> 48 concrete deck, lifting embedments shall be removed after erection to provide a <br /> 49 minimum 214-inch clearance to the top of the deck. When the girders are not to receive <br /> 50 a cast-in-place concrete deck, lifting embedments shall be removed 1-inch below the <br /> 51 girder surface and grouted with an epoxy grout conforming to Section 9-26.3(1)A. <br /> 52 <br /> I <br /> I AMENDMENTS TO THE 2014 STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS BOOK <br /> Revised: 8/3/15 <br />
