Fun fact: weathering steel doesn't do it's "weathering" thing particularly well in humid/water rich environments. The DOT my company works for is spending a lot of money zone painting (painting the areas around splices, bearings, and beam ends) weathering steel bridges.
IF you can find a section in the handbook that meets your span and LL+superimposed DL (usually the deck), then the prestressing strands will be included along with that. This is the book I'm talking about. Otherwise, you'll have to do the prestressing calculations by hand. But with concrete, you don't have to worry about the welds, local buckling, and lateral stiffeners.
