# Prestressed I Girder Code Check T

This section creates code check templates for prestressed I girders, defining load combinations and analysis parameters for strength, service, and fatigue limit state checks.

For detailed parameter explanations, see the [Prestressed I Girder Code Check Template Reference](https://docs.openbrim.org/templates/precast-i-girder-bridge-workflow/templates-for-code-check-and-load-rating-pig/concrete-girder-code-check-pig).
{% endhint %}

## Overview

Multiple code check templates can be defined for different limit states and design scenarios. Each template specifies load combinations and verification settings.

## Steps

### Step 1: Navigate to Prestressed I Girder Code Check Template

Navigate to **Templates for Code Check and Load Rating > Prestressed I Girder Code Check** in the tree view.

### Step 2: Create Template

Enter the name **PIGTemp** in the Name column.

### Step 3: Assign Load Case for Girder Weight

Click the **three-dots icon** on **Load Case of Girder Weight Only** and select **DC1** (dead load).

### Step 4: Assign Load Combination Table

Click the **three-dots icon** on **Load Combination Table** and assign **SuperstructureLCT**.

{% hint style="info" %}
Since I-girders are part of the superstructure, use the superstructure load combination table.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.openbrim.org/examples/concrete-bridge-examples/example-prestressed-i-girder-concrete-bridge-ex1-pig/templates-for-code-check-and-load-rating-ex1-pig/prestressed-i-girder-code-check-t-ex1-pig.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
