Bridge Deck Behaviour, Second Edition

The document provides an example problem to design a simply supported prestressed concrete bridge beam according to British Standard 5400. It includes calculating loads, section properties, stresses due to different load combinations, and checking stresses at serviceability and ultimate limit states. The design considers effects of temperature, shrinkage, and composite action between the beam and concrete slab. Moment calculations are provided for various load cases, and stresses are checked against allowable limits from the standard.
