I'll preface this by saying I have not done any PT design myself so I can't weigh-in on your question directly. That said, I wanted to point out that Dirk Bondy (co-author of the book you reference) has a Youtube channel under the same name. He's uploaded videos of his full post-tension design...

Maybe you know about this one already but AISC's Steel Construction Manual has a pretty good section on weld symbols/callouts as well as blowups of what the actual welded connections look like in Chapter 8. It's table 8.2 in the 14th edition of the book (red book).

Your gut is correct that the pressure should be affected by the exposure. Figure 30.6-1 only provides the value for (GCp) for each of the zones. This value then needs to be plugged into equation 30.6-1 to get the design pressure on the zone. The 'q' variables in that equation are calculated...

I agree with phamENG. A system like what you are proposing would need to be tested in some manner to show it behaves as expected since it doesn't fit the mold of the established systems. With the beams being made of wood, I don't think the SCBF R=6 would be applicable so your testing would...

Glad I could help and thanks for the stars guys. I guess my first post on this site was a success. A few of my colleagues have had projects recently that used the Versa-dek so when I saw the non-standard deck profile in the picture, it immediately came to mind. The long span/deep deck options...
