The concrete compressive strength to be used in computing the load carrying capacity must be the
smaller of the following:
1. Actual compressive strength at the time of loading
2. Compressive strength shown on the plans for that portion of the structure
51-4.01D(3)(c) Temporary Supports
The Engineer does not authorize temporary support designs based on allowable stresses greater than
those specified in section 48-2.01D(3)(c).
If falsework loads are imposed on temporary supports, the temporary supports must also satisfy the
deflection criteria in section 48-2.01D(3)(c).
Design temporary supports to prevent horizontal movement of the partially completed structure.
You may use the permanent piles as part of the temporary support foundation. Do not move or adjust
permanent piles from the locations shown.
Design temporary support footings to carry the loads imposed without exceeding the estimated soil
bearing values or anticipated settlements. You must determine soil bearing values.
Where temporary supports for cranes and construction equipment are placed on the deck of the partially
completed structure:
1. Temporary supports must bear either (1) directly on girder stems or bent caps of the supporting
structure, or (2) on falsework sills that transmit the load to the stems or cap without overstressing any
member of the partially completed structure.
2. Temporary supports must not induce permanent forces into the completed structure or produce
cracking.
Provide additional bracing as required to withstand all imposed loads during each phase of temporary
supports erection and removal.
Mechanically connect (1) the partially completed structure to the temporary supports and (2) the
temporary supports to their foundations. Mechanical connections must be capable of resisting the lateral
design forces. Friction forces developed between the partially completed structure and temporary
supports (1) are not considered an effective mechanical connection and (2) must not be used to reduce
lateral forces.
If the concrete is to be prestressed, design temporary supports to accommodate changes to the loads
caused by prestressing forces.

Revised standard specifications are under headings that correspond with the main-section headings of
the Standard Specifications. A main-section heading is a heading shown in the table of contents of the
Standard Specifications. A date under a main-section heading is the date of the latest revision to the
section.
Each revision to the Standard Specifications begins with a revision clause that describes or introduces a
revision to the Standard Specifications. For a revision clause that describes a revision, the date on the
right above the clause is the publication date of the revision. For a revision clause that introduces a
revision, the date on the right above a revised term, phrase, clause, paragraph, or section is the
publication date of the revised term, phrase, clause, paragraph, or section. For a multiple-paragraph or
multiple-section revision, the date on the right above a paragraph or section is the publication date of the
paragraphs or sections that follow.
Any paragraph added or deleted by a revision clause does not change the paragraph numbering of the
Standard Specifications for any other reference to a paragraph of the Standard Specifications.
