H-i Appendix H Subassemblage Sectional Calculations and Analyses

H-ii H.1: Subassemblage Specimen Design Calculations and Analyses The subassemblage specimens utilized during the current study were primarily considered to provide a comparison of the benefits of particular crack control details relative to one another. To provide an understanding of the expected behavior of each specimen based on its individual measured material properties, geometry, and reinforcement details, a detailed analytical investigation was completed. The relevant calculations are outlined below.

H-1 Sectional calculations for subassemblage specimens Specimen dimensions and variables are defined in plan and elevation views of the subassemblage specimens in Figures H.1 and H.2, respectively. As shown in Figure H.1, each subassemblage specimen was 120 in. “long”, which corresponded with the span length during the load tests while the width of each specimen, which was measured parallel to the longitudinal precast joint, ranged from 62.75 in. to 67.25 in. The origin of each specimen, for reference regarding the instrumentation and reinforcement placement, as well as general documentation, was located on the bottom of the section, directly at the precast joint. The origin corresponded with the end of each specimen nearest the embedded transverse reinforcement that was spaced a clear distance of 3 in. from the face, which was consistent among each of the seven subassemblage specimens, and is also shown in Figure H.2. As illustrated in Figure H.2, the total section depth is composed of the precast member depth, which was either 12 in. or 16 in., plus a 2 in. thick deck for all specimens other than SSMBLG3-HighBars, which had a 2 in. thick deck near the joint region, and tapered to 3-1/2 in. a distance of 15 in. in either direction from the joint.

H-6 Cracked Neutral axis depth is calculated as above; the depth of the concrete in compression is equal to the neutral axis depth, therefore a quadratic equation must be solved. The coefficients of the quadratic equation are as follows: The cracked transformed section is shown in Figure H.3: Figure H.3: Cracked transformed section, with neutral axis, x, measured from top of section The area of the deck reinforcement should be subtracted from the total area of the section by multiplying by (n-1) if x is greater than dsdeck , but should not be subtracted if x less than dsdeck .

H-14 The strain in the transverse hooks due to self weight and the weight of the clamping system was between 1105 and 3198µε. The largest transverse strain measured in the hooks was approximately 1455µε in SSMBLG1-Control1, in which case the state of strain near that gage was expected to be closer to 3336µε. The onset of strain hardening was measured to occur at a strain of approximately 6000µε, which suggested that strain hardening was not expected in the reinforcement at the locations that were instrumented, however because the locations of the strain gages on the steel bars were localized over the joint, and were unlikely to coincide with the location of cracking, the strain in the reinforcement at the location of the crack may have been larger.
