I am designing a prestressed concrete bridge, and have a question regarding the haunch thickness. The haunch should account for cross slope and vertical curve camber, but what Dead Load Deflection should be used?
It seems that non-composite and composite deflections should be accounted for to achieve the proper deck elevations when all is said and done, however I have been reading that only non-composite deflections are considered. Why is this?
Thanks!
