Add following sub Para:

For concrete of grades higher than M60,
the shear strength shall be limited to that of
strength grade M60 for design purpose.

fywd = Design strength of web reinforcement

used to resist shear limited to 0.8 fyk/gm.

fywd = Design strength of web reinforcement to

resist shear =

f yk

v1 is a strength reduction factor.

1. Value is given by v1 v. Where v is
given by Eq. 10.6.

v1 = v is a strength reduction factor for concrete

cracked in shear, given in Eq. 10.6.

2. If design stress of shear reinforcement is

below 80 percent of fyk value of v1 can be
taken as :
v1 = 0.6
for fck 80 MPa

5.3.2.5
Limit State of
Fatigue
Page No. 21

The bridge or any of its components shall

not loose its capacity to carry design loads
by virtue of its materials reaching fatigue
limits due to its loading history.
Note : For structures designed as per this
Code, the effects of fatigue due to action of
live loads on concrete need not be taken into
account, unless otherwise specified.

The bridge or any of its components shall

not lose its capacity to carry design loads by
virtue of its materials reaching fatigue limits
due to its loading history. For carrying out
fatigue verification, specialist literature may
be referred.
However, fatigue verification is not necessary
for the following:
a) For Reinforced concrete structures when
the stress in the tensile reinforcement is
less than 300 MPa under Rare Combination
of Serviceability Limit State as against
0.8 fy specified in clause no. 12.2.2.
b) For prestressed concrete structures under
the frequent combination of action and
prestressing force, only compressive stresses
occur at the extreme concrete fibers, under
Serviceability Limit State.
