 Two types of deck using prestressed concrete:

pre-tensioned beams with in situ concrete and
post-tensioned concrete.
Prestressed concrete decks are commonly used
for bridges with spans between 25 meters and
450 meters.
Prestressed post-tensioned beams with in situ
slab deck type for bridges with a span of 16
meters to 30 meters.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This study aims to answer the following problems:

What will be the appearance of the new bridge
design?
What structural designs will be needed for the
construction of the said project?
How much will be the estimated project cost
when it will be conducted?

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

This study generally aimed to design a Prestressed

Concrete Beam Deck Bridge.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

Specifically it aims to:

enhance the knowledge in designing;
investigate the condition of the existing bridge;
develop a design of a prestressed concrete beam
deck bridge;
provide architectural drawing of the proposed
structure;

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

 determine the probable estimated cost of materials

to be used in the prestressed concrete beam deck
bridge;
produce a material that should serve as reference
for the decision makers for future condition; and
provide the municipality a design of prestressed
concrete beam deck structure for future use.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

 The design of Prestressed Concrete Beam Deck

Bridge would serve as an instrument to enhance
the skills of the author in structural design and
analysis.
The students should be able to put into practice
the actual sense of designing and should be able
to apply it in their future career.

IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

 The study will provide the municipality a design

of prestressed concrete beam deck bridge for
future use in case the need for replacing the
structure arises.

IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

METHODOLOGY

 Site surveying and inspection of the proposed

project
Gathering technical data through interviews,
books, professionals and internet.
Conducting structural analysis using computer
softwares like STAAD.
Preparation of plans and architectural concept
like drawings, plans and map location.
