As I previously said, I don’t do bridges. The thing that’s odd to me and a coworker I talked to is that post tensioning puts extra compression into the concrete. The end diagonal of that truss is in compression. Why PT a member that is already in compression? You PT members in bending to counteract the tension. That member isn’t in tension.
