DECEMBER 2004 lrfd BRIDGE DESIGN 9-1 Reinforced concrete decks on girders are the predominant type of deck used on highway bridges in Minnesota. The deck is the structural element that transfers vehicle and pedestrian loads to the girders. It is analyzed as a continuous beam with the girders acting as supports. The top and bottom primary moment resisting steel runs transversely in the deck. The stool between the beam top flange and the deck bottom varies to allow placement of the deck to the proper elevation. Timber decks may be used on secondary roads and temporary bridges as part of the superstructure. Guidance for the DESIGN of timber decks is provided in Section 8. Specialized deck systems are used for railroad bridges. A common DESIGN is a thru-girder system with floor beams supporting a bent plate. This channel shaped bent plate holds the ballast on which the rails are supported.
