Pre-dimensioning of reinforced concrete bridges 2

[EngRabih]

Please I need informations concerning the pre-dimensioning of reinforced concrete bridges

 

[dik]

What is pre-dimensioning?

 

[EngRabih]

I mean finding quick dimensions without having to elaborate detailed calculations

 

[dik]

Are you thinking scaling of an existing drawing? or getting dimensioned information from a CAD drawing file?

Thanks BB... Dik

Thank you very much
In fact I'm in charge of the preliminary design of reinforced concrete bridges with span ranging from 10m to 17m

EngRabih: should give bb a star then. One of the few things I've not engineered is a bridge and the link he posted has some well detailed and informative information on bridge design...

Here in Arizona, the ADOT Structures Section publishes a "Standard Drawings" manual for continuous pre-engineered concrete slab bridges for various span conditions.

I am sure other states have similar drawings.
