ANNEXURE 1: Fatigue check for prestressed girder

Since there is tensile stress in frequent load combination, as per Clause 5.3.2.5 of IRC:112-2011, fatigue check is
carried out.
As per ANNEXURE A-1 of IRC:112-2011, clause A1-4 (2) for limit state of fatigue, "Specialist literature or internat
may be referred for the same"
