The girders were moved from the Tindall plant to the Structural Engineering Laboratory at<br />

Georgia Tech about 4 weeks after construction. Two weeks thereafter, a composite deck slab was<br />

cast atop each girder using a nominal 3,500 psi bridge deck concrete mix. The <strong>for</strong>mwork of the deck<br />

is shown in Figure 5.8.<br />
