Prestressed Segmental Concrete Bridges 1

[DJSim]

Hi all,

I am learning to design prestressed segmental concrete bridges. I am using MIDAS to analyse. However, i would like to do some basic hand calculations to get a feel of the numbers and also to check the outputs from MIDAS as I do not want to follow the results from MIDAS blindly. Can someone point me to a good book or technical document to read? Any worked design examples that I can refer to?

Thanks

You should post on the "Bridge Engineering Forum" for more pointed response. These links might help. Link, Link.

This example is a few years old but it should be helpful. It's an LRFD example.
