Capping Beam Design Calculations

This document provides calculations for the reinforcement design of a bridge pier cap beam and pier. It includes calculations for the longitudinal and shear reinforcement of the cap beam to resist bending moments and shear forces from computer analysis. It also includes calculations of the maximum torsion in the pier from live load reactions and the required torsional reinforcement. The reinforcement details specified meet the requirements calculated.
