NU girders, debonding outside of top flange
NU girders, debonding outside of top flange
(OP)
I was talking with a coworker in another office this morning. He is designing a new bridge with NU girders and was reviewing the state DOT's design requirements.
One of them was placing felt paper on the outside 9" of each side of the top flange.
This bridge is off system and tge DOT has no jurisdiction so he isn't going to follow it.
Anyone have any idea what purpose the debonding serves?

Trying to get slab reaction centrally over the web of the girder?
