COMPUTERIZED STRUCTURAL DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF CONTINUOUS PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BOX-GIRDER BRIDGES BUILT BY CANTILEVER METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION

A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR THE DESIGN AND ANALYSIS OF A PRESTRESSED CONCRETE BOX GIRDER BRIDGE BUILT BY THE CANTILEVER METHOD IS PRESENTED. IN ADDITION TO A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE CANTILEVER METHOD, THE USE OF THE PROGRAM IS EXPLAINED BY DESIGNING THE MAIN SPAN OF A THREE SPAN CONTINUOUS BRIDGE 750 FT LONG WITH A 330 FT CENTER SPAN. THE EXAMPLE BRIDGE HAS A TWO-CELL BOX GIRDER WITH THE DEPTH VARYING PARABOLICALLY FROM 16 FT AT THE PIERS TO 7 FT AT MID SPAN AND ABUTMENTS.
