OBSERVATION ON AND TESTING OF A PRESTRESSED BRIDGE

This report outlines a structural problem which occurred during the final stage of construction of a prefabricated bridge and could only be solved with the help of observation methods developed at the LNEC. The observation methods adopted are described together with the fundamental results obtained and the results of load test on this structure. /TRRL/
