The second revision of IRC 18 from 1985 outlines detailed design standards for post-tensioned prestressed concrete road bridges in India. It addresses essential aspects such as material specifications, allowable stress limits, prestress loss calculations, ultimate load capacity, shear and torsion design, and specific detailing protocols tailored for post-tensioned bridge components. This code is vital for engineers engaged in the planning, execution, and evaluation of prestressed concrete bridges to ensure structural integrity and adherence to Indian roadway standards.
