B. Thickness of Web
The thickness of the web shall not be less than d/36 plus twice the clear cover to the reinforcement plus diameter of
the duct hole whered is the overall depth of the box girder measured from the top of the deck slab to the bottom of
the soffit or 200 mm plus the diameter of duct holes, whichever is greater.
C. Thickness of Bottom Flange
The thickness of the bottom flange of box girder shall be not less than 1/20th of the clear web spacing at the junction
with bottom flange or 200 mm whichever is more.
D. Thickness of Top Flange
The minimum thickness of the deck slab including that at cantilever tips be 200 mm. For top and bottom flange
having prestressing cables, the thickness of such flange shall not be less than 150 mm plus diameter of duct hole.
E. Losses in Prestress
While assessing the stresses in concrete and steel during tensioning operations and later in service, due regard
shall be paid to all losses and variations in stress resulting from creep of concrete, shrinkage of concrete, relaxation
of steel, the shortening (elastic deformation) of concrete at transfer, and friction and slip of anchorage.
In computing the losses in prestress when untensioned reinforcement is present, the effect of the tensile stresses
developed by the untensioned reinforcement due to shrinkage and creep shall be considered.
F. Calculation of Ultimate Strength
Ultimate moment resistance of sections, under these two alternative conditions of failure shall be calculated by the
following formulae and the smaller of the two values shall be taken as the ultimate moment of resistance for design:
2/11
3/11
4/11
Validation of Resuts
The bending moment, shear force and deflection result obtained by SAP 2000. The bending moment and shear
force are calculated by considering different loading condition such as dead load, live load and superimposed load.
Same as deflection calculated. This results are the Case:1.

We at engineeringcivil.com are thankful to Er. Priyanka Bhivgade for submitting her research on Analysis and
design of prestressed concrete box girder bridge to us. We are hopeful that this will be of great use to all civil
engineers who are willing to understand the design of prestressed concrete box girder.
