Abstract

In this paper, the authors calculate the reliability indices for prestressed concrete girders using new statistical parameters for materials and load components. Various types of girders are considered, with spans ranging from 80 to 200 feet and girder spacings from 8 to 10 feet. The paper also presents a derivation of sensitivity functions for parameters affecting prestressed concrete girder performance, focusing in particular on bending capacity.
