Tendon stress before anchor set is limited to the lesser of 0.77 $f_{pu}$
and the stress limits in Article 5.9.2.2 for low-relaxation strands.

Round losses to 1 ksi. Determine prestress losses from elastic shortening, creep, shrinkage, and relaxation as prescribed for prestressed concrete in Chapter 3 – Superstructure Design, Section 4 - Pretensioned Concrete I-Girders.

Use a minimum of 4 tendons in a cap.

Satisfy all stress limits for prestressing tendons and concrete as specified in Articles 5.9.2. Use limits for severe corrosive conditions in areas where de-icing agents are frequently used or where contact with salt water spray is possible.

Check limit states using the Strength I load combination and the Service I load combination for both tension and compression stress.

For multi-column bent caps, take design negative moments at the center line of the column. For hammerhead bents and multi-column bent caps with columns 4 ft. or wider, take design negative moments at the effective face of the column.

Minimize the number of stirrup spacing changes.

For typical multi-column bent caps supporting multiple beams, strut-and-tie modeling provisions of Articles 5.8 need not be considered. For bent caps supporting girders on high load multi rotational bearings or girders with large reaction forces that are defined as deep components according to Article 5.2, use the strut-and-tie design in accordance with Article 5.8.

Follow the provisions in Article 5.9.5 for Post-Tensioning Details.
