Steel, concrete and composite bridges - Part 4: Code of practice for design of concrete bridges

Recommendations for the design of concrete bridges.

This British Standard, a part of the BS 5400 series, gives recommendations for the design of concrete bridges. It contains much in common with BS 8110 which deals with the structural use of concrete.

After stating the objectives and requirements of design, particular recommendations are given for reinforced concrete, prestressed concrete and composite concrete construction.

Structural elements included are beams, slabs, columns and walls, bases, tension members and connections between precast concrete members.

This British Standard supersedes BS 5400-4:1984 which is withdrawn.
