Rules of Thumb on Final Camber
Rules of Thumb on Final Camber
(OP)
Does anyone have rules of thumb on final soffit profile for composite concrete deck on steel girder bridges as a function of span length, etc?
Shrinkage and other camber losses come to mind for me as I don't want a sag condition to develop over time.

Sorry, I meant for the camber of the steel girder, not the concrete deck. Rules of thumb for how much positive camber.

Also, if your bridge is being constructed in stages you have to consider the effect in the camber calculation.
