choosing the best system and construction sequence of integral pre-stressed bridges

choosing the best system and construction sequence of integral pre-stressed bridges

(OP)
I`m currently designing abridge with the following data
spans respectively 55,70,100,70,55 meters
width 13 meter
cross section post tension box with 3 webs

any advice about the books i need to read to choose the right construction sequence and the system supports (piers)

RE: choosing the best system and construction sequence of integral pre-stressed bridges

I'd recommend you have a read of Robert Benaim's book "design of prestressed concrete bridges".

Side note: you could also likely remove the third web for a box of that width. the top slab may have to be slightly thicker but that usually works out to be more economical

I already started reading it but if there is any other books that uses AASHTO as a reference.
