This code covers the structural and design

aspects with reference to the use of prestressed concrete (post tensioned) for constructing road bridges.

The scope of this code covers the following areas: Material properties of cement, aggregates and steel, including there permissible stresses Minimum dimensions and section properties of various superstructure sections. Various losses in prestress. Shear and torsion. Minimum reinforcements, end and anchorage blocks, splay of cables, etc.

LOAD AND BENDING MOMENT CALCULATIONS


Selecting material grades Assume depth of slab, 50 mm per meter span

Calculation of dead load and dead load bending

moments; weight of slab weight of wearing coat

.contd
Calculation of live load bending moments

Consider IRC load class


Calculate impact factor according to loading class and

span Calculate average intensity of loading and maximum bending moment due to live loads Calculate design shear at support

LOAD POSITION FOR MAXIMUM BENDING MOMENT AND MAXIMUM SHEAR

EFFECTIVE WIDTH OF DISPERSION FOR IRC CLASS AA LOAD

CHECKS TO APPLIED
Check for minimum section modulus Minimum prestressing force Check for stresses;

1. at transfer 2. at service Check for ultimate strength 1. failure by yielding of steel 2. failure by crushing of concrete Check for ultimate shear strength

Supplementry reinforcement:

0.15 % of gross sectional area should be provided. Design of end block: bursting tension should be computed and according to that area of steel should be calculated.
