Abstract
This article shows the strain analysis on two cantilever cast-in-place prestressed concrete bridges during construction. Strain gauges, measuring strain based on the change in electrical resistance, were installed on both structures in order to obtain strain results during and after construction. Nonlinear numerical models were made to simulate the realistic behaviour of the structure and show the effect of creep and shrinkage during the construction phases. The numerical model taking into account creep and shrinkage is validated and shows good overlap with the measured results. Relative compressive stresses as well as the necessary precamber are shown. The effects of creep and shrinkage are analysed. Finally, the data can be used to analyse and compare other similar bridges and validate different numerical models. A recommendation for the design of future prestressed concrete balanced cantilever bridges is given.
