Girder Stability Checks

The document presents a design summary for a prestressed concrete girder bridge structure based on AASHTO and ACI standards, detailing material strengths, section dimensions, and various forces acting on the girder. It includes calculations for moments, shear forces, and stresses under different loading conditions, concluding that the design is inadequate and requires additional longitudinal reinforcement for torsion. The document also outlines checks for transfer load, serviceability, and ultimate load conditions, with specific values for stresses and capacities.
