SERVICEABILITY OF SPLICED GIRDER BRIDGES USING PCS

A computer based procedure for analysis of composite precast concrete girder bridges with cast in place topping is presented. Girder splicing with or without posttensioning is used to introduce continuity in the bridge superstructure. The method of analysis presented in this paper can also be applied to other types of multistage construction and prestressing involving the use of temporary falsework.
