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
The bridge or any of its components shall

fatigue verification, specialist literature may
be referred.
However, fatigue verification is not necessary

account, unless otherwise specified. 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
IR prestressing force, only compressive stresses
occur at the extreme concrete fibers, under
Serviceability Limit State.
