Product Information

 

The Bulb I (BI) girder is a standard variation of the Bulb-T girder. Use the BI shape only when it has benefits over a Bulb-T girder. Since the BI girder have a narrower top flange, it requires less concrete build-up than a Bulb-T. Therefore bridges with high super elevations (generally, greater than 7%) may want to consider the BI girder.

Standard Design Options

 

  • Forming and Diaphragm Inserts.
  • Adjust web thickness to accommodate post-tensioning (for spliced girders). For such cases increase the web thickness from 6″ to 7.5″
  • Cast in inserts or hole for diagraph reinforcing
  • Cast in inserts for mounting utility brackets
  • Top flange/web holes for mounting deck forming brackets
