RB.18.1.3, page 369, revised as:
Immediately following the first paragraph, add the following paragraph:
Section 6.4.4Tendons of continuous post-tensioned beams and slabs are usually stressed at a
point along the span where the tendon profile is at or near the centroid of the concrete cross
section. Therefore, interior construction joints are usually located within the end thirds of the
span, rather than the middle third of the span as required by 6.4.4. Construction joints located as
described in continuous post-tensioned beams and slabs have a long history of satisfactory
performance. Thus, 6.4.4 is excluded from application to prestressed concrete.
