Effective Width using AASHTO

[x5bulldog]

I am studying for the upcoming PE Exam in April and need help determining the effective width using AASHTO. I do not have the AASHTO design specifications and do not want to lose points on the exam for a simple question. Can someone help be with the effective width for interior and exterior beams for bridges supported with either steel beams or concrete members. I don't need to know effective widths for p/c closed box sections, open steel or p/c boxes, etc. Just want to know effective width for a steel beam and concrete tee beams maybe also for a p/c bulb-tee section; interior and exterior. Thanks

I try searching on google and all I keep getting is documents of research of what effective widths should be for many complex sections.

Would it help to obtain the AASHTO specifications prior to writing the exam?

The effective width is a function of the type of deck used. There are several tables in the AASHTO.
