Syllabus
1. Effect of prestressing on bridge structures. Continuous box girder bridge – design, scheme of longitudinal and transversal section, load, structural model, structural solution in longitudinal direction – dead load.
2. Design of prestressing reinforcement, effects of prestressing.
3. Structural solution in longitudinal direction – varying load, combination of internal forces.
