Pre-stressed Concrete Bridge Design Specs

The document discusses the design considerations for a bridge including using a pre-stressed concrete 6 girder simply supported span structure, an 11m wide 3 lane carriageway, RCC columns to support the superstructure, open foundations, a 57 degree skew angle, M45 and M35 grade concrete, Fe 500 un-tensioned reinforcement, 12T13 and 12T15 prestressing steel, considering 3 lanes of IRC class A vehicle load or 1 lane of IRC class 70R plus 1 lane of IRC class A, and a 400 kg/m^2 crowd load while following IRC codes 6-2010, IRC 21, IRC 78 and IRC 18.

Design Considerations

 Type of Superstructure: Pre-stressed Concrete 6 girder simply supported span.


 Carriageway specification: Three Lane carriageway of width 11.0 M.
 Type of Substructure: Superstructure is supported on 6 nos. RCC columns .
 Type of foundation: Open foundation
 Skew angle: 57 degree.
 Grade of concrete:
M45 for superstructure,
M35 for all other components

 Grade of un-tensioned reinforcement: Fe 500


 Grade of Prestressing steel: 12T13 low relaxation class 2 strands for 35.375 M span,

12T15 low relaxation class 2 strands for 47.000 M span

 Live Load considered: 3 Lanes of IRC class A train of vehicles, or , 1 Lane of IRC class 70R

train load plus 1 Lane of IRC class A train load, whichever produces

worst effect.

 Crowd Load considered: Basic intensity – 400 kg/m^2


 Codes followed: IRC 6- 2010, IRC 21, IRC 78, IRC 18.
