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.
