# 10- Framing Plan

## 10.1 General

A. This drawing shows a single, concise graphical representation (except for phased construction) of the geometry necessary for location and detailing beam or girder framing.

B. Show sufficient information to permit verification or determination of all calculated, detailed dimensional or noted information on the drawings related to beam or girder layout, as well as other work related to or dependent upon the layout.

## 10.2 Required Information

For all steel box and plate girder bridges with either straight or curved girders and for all prestressed concrete beam bridges with either curved or trapezoidal spans, provide a framing plan showing the following information:

A. Span lengths along the Station Line.

B. The distances between girders (centerlines or extensions) measured between the begin or end bridge line and centerline of intermediate substructure components.

C. For straight girders or beams supporting curved bridge decks, the chord lengths between the points established in "B" above.

D. The distances (when appropriate) from the station line to adjacent girders measured along the lines established in "B" above.

E. The distances between diaphragms measured along the centerline of beams or girders.

F. Lateral bracing and vertical stiffeners, when applicable.

G. Angles between the station line and begin/end bridge line and centerline of intermediate substructure components.

H. Angles between centerline of beams or girders and begin or end bridge line and centerline of intermediate substructure components.

I. All dimensions to the nearest 1/8-inch and all angles to the nearest second.

J. The identification of beams/girders on the Framing Plan consistent with detail sheets.

K. Girder radius of curvature, if necessary.

L. North arrow.

M. Direction of stationing adjacent to the station line, if necessary.
