The manual is puplished by FHWA and free to download.

This Manual contains information related to the analysis and design of cast-in-place concrete box girder bridges prestressed with post-tensioning tendons.
The Manual reviews features of the construction of cast-in-place concrete box girder bridges, material characteristics that impact design, fundamentals of prestressed concrete, and losses in prestressing force related to posttensioned construction. Also presented in this Manual are approaches to the longitudinal and transverse analysis of the box girder superstructure. Both single-cell and multi-cell box girders are discussed. Design examples are presented in Appendices to this Manual

Whoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the self. Then to your Lord you will be returned

 {مَنْ عَمِلَ صَالِحًا فَلِنَفْسِهِ ۖ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فَعَلَيْهَا ۖ ثُمَّ إِلَىٰ رَبِّكُمْ تُرْجَعُونَ} [الجاثية : 15]

( 15 ) Whoever does a good deed - it is for himself; and whoever does evil - it is against the self. Then to your Lord you will be returned. [Sura: Al-Jaathiya, Aya: 15]
