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.
.contd
Calculation of live load bending moments
span Calculate average intensity of loading and maximum bending moment due to live loads Calculate design shear at support
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.
