Three computer programs have been developed or adapted to assist in the design of multi-beam prestressed concrete box girder bridges. Programs DBOXSS and DBOXDS treat girders with straight and draped strands, respectively. Each program has a "design'' option which selects. concrete release strength and strand pattern for a specified cross section a
