Yellow: #23Simplified Wind Dist.Sub-Item #2
Add the following after Table 3.8.1.3-1:
For the usual girder and slab bridges having an individual span
length of not more than 125 ft. and a maximum height of 30.0
ft. above low ground or water level the following wind loading
may be used:
0.10 KLF, transverse
0.04 KLF, longitudinal

Yellow: #25 Superimposed
Deformations (CR, SH, TU, PS) FAQ #1Where did the 0.5 value come from?
Artifact accounting for dissipation over time
Should not be used in conjunction with IefforIcr
FAQ #2--Why move CR and SHw/DC, etc?
Coupled w/ material properties (TUreverses)
FAQ #3Why so many different values? Segmentalfactors must be same as DC Typ. Bridgescontinue w/ CR, SHin prestress loss
estimate for superstructure; 0.5 for substructure, only

Deformations (CR, SH, TU, PS)
Revise the sixth paragraph of Article 3.4.1 as follows:
The larger of the values provided for load factors of TU, CR and SHshall be
used for deformations and the smaller values for all other effects. Forsimplified analysis ofconcrete substructures in the strength limit state, a
value of 0.50 for TU may be used when calculating force effects, but shall be
taken in conjunction with the gross moment of inertia in the columns or piers.
When a refined analysis is completed for concrete substructures in the
strength limit state, a value of 1.0 for TU shall be used in conjunction with a
partially cracked moment of inertia determined by analysis. For concretesubstructures in the strength limit state, the value of 0.50 for PS, CR, and SHmay similarly be used when calculating force effects in non-segmental
structures, but shall be taken in conjunction with the gross moment of inertia
in the columns or piers. For steel substructures, a value of 1.0 for TU,PS, CR, and SH shall be used.

Deformations (CR, SH, TU, PS)
Sub-item 4, cont.
Add a new paragraph to the Commentary as follows:
PS, CR, SH, TU and TG are superimposed deformations as defined in Article
3.12. Load factors for TU and TG are as shown in Table 1. Load factors for
PS, CR, and SH, are as shown in Table 3. For prestressed members in typical
bridge types, secondary prestressing, creep and shrinkage are generally
designed for in the service limit state. In concrete segmental structures, CR
and SH are factored by P for DC because analysis for time-dependent
effects in segmental bridges is nonlinear. Abutments, piers, columns, andbent caps are to be considered as substructure components.
The calculation of displacements for TU utilizes a factor greater than 1.0 to
avoid undersizing joints, expansion devices, and bearings.
