Practical Aspects of PSC
IRSE Phase II
Course
What is Pre Stressing ?
• It is
intentional application of a
predetermined force on a system
for resisting the internal stresses
due to external loads.
P
P
Thus PSC…….
…is the special reinforced concrete which
makes use of the intrinsic properties of steel
and concrete i.e. using the properties they are
good at
CONCRETE in compression
STEEL in tension
PSC is called Active concrete
• Because steel is tensioned to compress the
concrete so that there is no or hardly any
tension in concrete under the service loads
• This system needs high strength concrete
(brittle) and high tensile steel (ductile)
• Makes effective use of modern high strength
materials
In-spite of the good designs…
• There will be problems in the construction due to
• Improper understanding or lack of understanding of
the
• basic principles
• Right method of the application of the principles
• Practical aspects of execution (because everything can’t be
reduced to writing)
• In fact the failures enlighten us to highlight the
inconsistencies between assumptions on the paper and
the understanding in the field
Practical problems and remedies
• Specifications of works are based on the theory and
also to a large extent on observations from minor to
major deformations, observed in already executed
works.
• There are many factors which are too difficult to be
precisely laid down. In such cases the decisions are
based on discretion or intuition of the Engineer-in-
Charge or the field executive
Practical problems and remedies
Broadly there are following four causes of failures.
1. Defective design.
2. Faulty methods or wrong sequence of construction.
3. Natural causes, such as, unanticipated floods, scouring
and settlement of foundations, etc.
4. Sub-standard specifications.
• Majority of the cases of failures are found to be on
account of (2) and (3) above.
• Uncoated Stress Relieved Strand As Per IS
:6006
• Uncoated Stress Relieved Low Relaxation
Strands to IS : 14268
• Hard Drawn Plain Steel Wires ( Cold Drawn
Stress Relieved Wires) to IS :1785(part-I) 1983
• High Tensile Steel Bars to IS: 2090
PRE-STRESSING STEEL
PROPERTIES
• THE TWO WIRE AND THREE WIRE STRANDS ARE DESIGNATED BY
NUMBER OF ELEMENTAL WIRES AND DIA. OF ELEMENTAL WIRES.
• Nomenclature A-B
– A REPRESENTS NO. OF WIRES IN THE STRAND
– B REPRESENTS DIA. OF INDIVIDUAL WIRE IN THE STRAND
TWO WIRE STRAND
THREE WIRE STRAND
PROPERTIES
• SEVEN WIRE STRAND
– Outer wires enclose inner wire in a helix with a
uniform pitch of 12 to 16 times nominal
diameter
– Nomenclature - A-B
– A REPRESENTS NO. OF WIRES IN THE STRAND
– B REPRESENTS NOMINAL DIA. OF STRANDS
DIA. OF CENTRAL WIRE IS 1.5% MORE
THAN THE SURRONDING WIRE
PROPERTIES
• THE STRAND SHALL BE EITHER CLASS I OR CLASS II
DEPENDING UPON THE BREKING STRENGTH OF
STRAND.THE BREAKING STRENGTH OF CLASS II
STRAND IS MORE.
• THE TOTAL ELONGATION UNDER LOAD SHALL NOT
BE LESS THAN 3.5%.
Detailing of Reinforcement and
Cables
Cable Layout
• Cable layout means
– Deciding about the location of cable at various section
• Vertical profile
• Horizontal profile
– The locations between which the cable will be in
straight and on curve
• Working out the ordinates at every meter and at
every change of curvature from curved to straight
and vice versa in vertical as well horizontal plane
Importance of Cable Layout
• Proper moment resisting couple so as to
– Carry the dead and live load moments
– Not to induce tension in the concrete under dead
load as well as live load
• Local Imperfections
– Cause increase in the losses due to friction on
account of the wobble effect
The permissible
tolerance in the
location of the pre-
stressing tendons
(sheathing duct)
shall be ± 5 mm
Loss due to Friction (Wobble)
Cable Profile and Ordinate details for half span
END BLOCK DEATAILS
How Proper Positioning of Cable is
ensured
• Cable tends to sag due to its self weight if not
supported properly on reinforcement chairs
and supports
• Cable tends to float and move upwards due to
buoyancy effect when concrete is poured (and
is in liquid form), if not tied down properly
• So cable has to be secured against downward
as well as upward movement unlike
reinforcement
What else is important
• The angle of the cable at the end
– To provide the proper force
– Not to induce unintended forces causing tensions
in the direction not catered to for in design
• This can be ensured and checked only at the
time of fabrication of shuttering for end block
What else is important?
• Sequencing of the stressing operations in
Post-tensioned construction is important and
that given in the drawing should be followed.
• If not given in the drawing this should be
asked for from the designer.
Why Reinforcement is required in PSC
• In the end block
– To take the local transverse tension around the
tendon behind the anchorage
– To cater for the tension developed between two
or more anchorages, which tends to split the
member
Why Reinforcement is required in PSC
• In the web for carrying shear
• Shear is carried in PSC by
– the vertical component of tendon
– the concrete section
– vertical reinforcement in the form of stirrups
Why Reinforcement is required in PSC
• When the concrete section is sufficient to take
the shear, theoretically no web reinforcement
is required
• This is seldom the case and shear
reinforcement in the form of vertical stirrups
is provided
Vertical Shear
links
Why Reinforcement is required in PSC
• At the junction of the web and the flange
– As shear connectors for transferring the forces for
enabling the member to carrying the moment
– These are required between the bottom flange
and the web
– As well as between the top flange and the web
Shear
Connectors
Why Reinforcement is required in PSC
• Over the bearing area
• This is required to distribute the stresses due
to distribute the reaction to the larger section
of the concrete
Material test data

STRESSING OF CABLES
LOSS DURING ANCHORAGE
• This loss
– occurs when Pre-stressing force is
transferred from tensioning equipment
to anchorage.
– It is particularly important in short
members
– It should be cross checked at site &
compared with the values adopted by
designer
– ( it depends on type of anchorage and
pre stressing system)
FUTURE CABLES
• For easy installation at later date
• Made in box girder to cater for increased
pre-stress force
• Provision of 15% (minimum) of design
pre-stressing force.
EFFECT OF PRESTRESS
Other Important Issues
• Proper Storage of the HTS – HTS coils should
be stored in a closed go-down to protect it
from the harmful effects of atmosphere and
protect it from corrosion
• Use of water soluble oil coating – Insist on the
factory application of the water soluble oil
coating on the HTS to prevent corrosion
Other Important Issues
• HTS should be handled with great care like a
baby so that it does not get a cut or even a
minor nick. The handling should be done on
raised supports avoiding dragging on ground.
• Cable should be grouted after stressing
without delay – and in no case it be allowed to
remain un-grouted after 7 days of stressing.
Difference between pressure and
elongation
The
difference
between the
elongation
and the
pressure
should not be
more than
5%
Other Important Issues
• Grouting of the ducts – Non shrink grout or
non shrink admixture to be used (but take
care to use admixtures that do not cause
corrosion like Aluminum salts
• For longer Girders, it is preferable to provide
Air Vents to release trapped air and ensure
complete filling of the ducts with grout.
Other Important Issues
• Cutting of HTS after pre-
stressing – HTS should be
cut using the abrasive disc
cutters and in no case using
the gas cutting
• Ends of the HTS after
cutting should be protected
and should be buried in rich
concrete ensuring covering
of the end of the end block
in rich concrete
Windows in Forms
• Windows/openings should be
left in the formwork for vibration
of the concrete in case of tall
members like web.
• Checking by wooden mallet
should be done continuously
during the concreting
particularly at the difficult
locations to ensure proper
concreting
Practical problems and remedies
• Problem: Cracks in pre-cast pre-stressed girders in
stacking yard, girders were supported such that part of
girder length was overhanging.
• Solution: Stacking was improved. One of the randomly
selected girders was tested to its ultimate load & found
satisfactory. All girders were used.
Practical problems and remedies
• Problem: Cracks in cast-in-situ pre-stressed deck as pre-stressing
was started after 3 Calendar days as per drawing note.
• Reason: It was winter & the concrete strength gain was not
sufficient to take pre-stressing load. Due to winter the strength gain
was slow.
•
• Solution: Since than pre-stressing was taken up after testing field
cubes only. Cubes were cured with the parent girder/s only.
Practical problems and remedies
• Problem: Cracks appeared from deck slab towards end
cross diaphragm window opening.
• Reason: The concrete sections from soffit slab & webs
were pre-stressed while deck was not.
• Solution: Provided closely spaced mild steel surface
reinforcement (6 mm diameter at 75 mm c/c both
ways) and the cracks reduced to acceptable / vanished.
Cracks in deck slab
Practical problems and remedies
• Problem: Cracks appeared from deck slab towards soffit through webs near end /
intermediate supports.
• Reason: The cable layout over these sections was dipping heavily to take benefit of
vertical shear resisting component without checking stresses in concrete at
respective stage.
•
• Solution: (1) Cable profiles at ends / intermediate supports were checked with
respect to their vertical component resisting external shear and it was found that
the relief was exceeding the permissible shear stress. (2) The top & bottom most
fiber stresses were also worked out with respective BM and it was found that the
tensile stress at top was exceeding the permissible limit. The cable profiles were
flattened & the cracking problem has vanished.
Profile of prestressed cables
Practical problems and remedies
• Problem: While pre-stressing from both ends, it is advised through
drawing/s that pre-stressing be carried out simultaneously from
both ends. Hydraulic pressure levels v/s extensions are monitored
with the least possible difference but most of the time not
satisfying the requirements as stipulated.
•
• Solution: (1) Pre-stress cables from both ends with minimum
difference in hydraulic pressure. (2) Increase hydraulic pressure in
multiples of say 15% to 20%. Unless the lagging end picks up the
same pressure, do not proceed ahead with the leading end. (3) Best
method of both end pre-stressing is, carry out pre-stressing from
one end first & then from the other end. The results at the end of
both end pre-stressing are the same as expected through design
calculations
Practical problems and remedies
• Problem: Duration and cost of consumables for forms fixing
& removal was not fitting into the duration and budget.
•
• Solution: Side forms were fabricated in 5 m long x 3.250 m
tall panels and assembled on trolleys in one piece side
shutters to cast 40 m long x 3.25 m tall pre-tensioned pre-
cast girders. It resulted in time & consumable saving and
improved quality. Ladders, walkway platforms, toe boards
& hand railings helped to save on concrete wastage,
improve in supervision & efficiency of workmen.
One piece side forms (3.25 m tall x 40 m long)
with working platforms & hand railings.
Completed rebar cage being shifted
Rebar cage being lowered on pre-cast
bed within one piece side forms for 40
m long span.
One piece side shutters with working platforms,
toe boards, ladders & hand railings
One piece side shutter in position
Arial view of pre-cast bed for 40 m long pre-
tensioned girders (2 lines each with 3 girders)
Practical problems and remedies
• Problem: Concreting end block was taking almost 7
calendar days per end, not fitting in completion
schedule.
•
• Solution: The end block reinforcement cage pre-tied
against jig, anchorages & bearing sleeves and then
launched in its position with the help of crane and
could complete end block within 4 calendar days.
Shortcomings through permanent
structure design
Shortcoming Remedial Measure
Edge distance from concrete
surface
Edge distances should be strictly as
per the recommendations of the
manufacturers of the strands
In particular it is observed that
along edges and corners bursting
of concrete is observed due to
reduced clear cover. The designer
giving priority to HT steel without
consideration to reinforcement
clear cover.
Shortcomings through permanent
structure design
Shortcoming Remedial Measure
Inadequate information &
precautions provided on drawings,
like shortening and hogging up of
girder after release of pre-stress.
Shortening and hogging up of girder
after release of pre-stress be made
available in drawings.
Negative moment at the centre of
span and at the support over the pier
cap due to non availability of the
reinforcement steel in these zones,
results in cracks to the girder
Provision of additional reinforcement to
accommodate negative moment
Shortcomings through Execution
Shortcomings Remedial Measure
Honeycombing in girder bottom
flange.
Bottom bulb top slope should be
steeper (1H :3V), to allow entrapped
air to get escaped.
Even if it leads to additional cost one
should go for this steeper bottom bulb
top slope
Form work for in-situ deck slab •Intermediate gaps between psc
girders be provided with sacrificial rcc
planks.
•Cantilever deck slab be avoided by
matching edge girders with deck slab
edge.
•For cantilever deck slab above is not
possible and a traveling form set be
used.
One piece cantilever deck slab forms
on launching girder (2.25 m wide x 40
m long)
Cantilever deck slab forms on launching girder (2.25 m
wide x 40 m long) to aligned for 2 spans at a time
Cantilever deck slab forms on launching girder (2.25 m
wide x 40 m long) completed cantilever deck slabs

Practical aspects of PSC.ppt

  • 1. Practical Aspects of PSC IRSE Phase II Course
  • 2. What is Pre Stressing ? • It is intentional application of a predetermined force on a system for resisting the internal stresses due to external loads. P P
  • 3. Thus PSC……. …is the special reinforced concrete which makes use of the intrinsic properties of steel and concrete i.e. using the properties they are good at CONCRETE in compression STEEL in tension
  • 4. PSC is called Active concrete • Because steel is tensioned to compress the concrete so that there is no or hardly any tension in concrete under the service loads • This system needs high strength concrete (brittle) and high tensile steel (ductile) • Makes effective use of modern high strength materials
  • 5. In-spite of the good designs… • There will be problems in the construction due to • Improper understanding or lack of understanding of the • basic principles • Right method of the application of the principles • Practical aspects of execution (because everything can’t be reduced to writing) • In fact the failures enlighten us to highlight the inconsistencies between assumptions on the paper and the understanding in the field
  • 6. Practical problems and remedies • Specifications of works are based on the theory and also to a large extent on observations from minor to major deformations, observed in already executed works. • There are many factors which are too difficult to be precisely laid down. In such cases the decisions are based on discretion or intuition of the Engineer-in- Charge or the field executive
  • 7. Practical problems and remedies Broadly there are following four causes of failures. 1. Defective design. 2. Faulty methods or wrong sequence of construction. 3. Natural causes, such as, unanticipated floods, scouring and settlement of foundations, etc. 4. Sub-standard specifications. • Majority of the cases of failures are found to be on account of (2) and (3) above.
  • 8. • Uncoated Stress Relieved Strand As Per IS :6006 • Uncoated Stress Relieved Low Relaxation Strands to IS : 14268 • Hard Drawn Plain Steel Wires ( Cold Drawn Stress Relieved Wires) to IS :1785(part-I) 1983 • High Tensile Steel Bars to IS: 2090 PRE-STRESSING STEEL
  • 9. PROPERTIES • THE TWO WIRE AND THREE WIRE STRANDS ARE DESIGNATED BY NUMBER OF ELEMENTAL WIRES AND DIA. OF ELEMENTAL WIRES. • Nomenclature A-B – A REPRESENTS NO. OF WIRES IN THE STRAND – B REPRESENTS DIA. OF INDIVIDUAL WIRE IN THE STRAND TWO WIRE STRAND THREE WIRE STRAND
  • 10. PROPERTIES • SEVEN WIRE STRAND – Outer wires enclose inner wire in a helix with a uniform pitch of 12 to 16 times nominal diameter – Nomenclature - A-B – A REPRESENTS NO. OF WIRES IN THE STRAND – B REPRESENTS NOMINAL DIA. OF STRANDS DIA. OF CENTRAL WIRE IS 1.5% MORE THAN THE SURRONDING WIRE
  • 11. PROPERTIES • THE STRAND SHALL BE EITHER CLASS I OR CLASS II DEPENDING UPON THE BREKING STRENGTH OF STRAND.THE BREAKING STRENGTH OF CLASS II STRAND IS MORE. • THE TOTAL ELONGATION UNDER LOAD SHALL NOT BE LESS THAN 3.5%.
  • 12.
  • 14. Cable Layout • Cable layout means – Deciding about the location of cable at various section • Vertical profile • Horizontal profile – The locations between which the cable will be in straight and on curve • Working out the ordinates at every meter and at every change of curvature from curved to straight and vice versa in vertical as well horizontal plane
  • 15.
  • 16. Importance of Cable Layout • Proper moment resisting couple so as to – Carry the dead and live load moments – Not to induce tension in the concrete under dead load as well as live load • Local Imperfections – Cause increase in the losses due to friction on account of the wobble effect
  • 17. The permissible tolerance in the location of the pre- stressing tendons (sheathing duct) shall be ± 5 mm Loss due to Friction (Wobble)
  • 18. Cable Profile and Ordinate details for half span
  • 20.
  • 21.
  • 22. How Proper Positioning of Cable is ensured • Cable tends to sag due to its self weight if not supported properly on reinforcement chairs and supports • Cable tends to float and move upwards due to buoyancy effect when concrete is poured (and is in liquid form), if not tied down properly • So cable has to be secured against downward as well as upward movement unlike reinforcement
  • 23. What else is important • The angle of the cable at the end – To provide the proper force – Not to induce unintended forces causing tensions in the direction not catered to for in design • This can be ensured and checked only at the time of fabrication of shuttering for end block
  • 24.
  • 25.
  • 26. What else is important? • Sequencing of the stressing operations in Post-tensioned construction is important and that given in the drawing should be followed. • If not given in the drawing this should be asked for from the designer.
  • 27. Why Reinforcement is required in PSC • In the end block – To take the local transverse tension around the tendon behind the anchorage – To cater for the tension developed between two or more anchorages, which tends to split the member
  • 28.
  • 29.
  • 30.
  • 31. Why Reinforcement is required in PSC • In the web for carrying shear • Shear is carried in PSC by – the vertical component of tendon – the concrete section – vertical reinforcement in the form of stirrups
  • 32. Why Reinforcement is required in PSC • When the concrete section is sufficient to take the shear, theoretically no web reinforcement is required • This is seldom the case and shear reinforcement in the form of vertical stirrups is provided
  • 33.
  • 34.
  • 36. Why Reinforcement is required in PSC • At the junction of the web and the flange – As shear connectors for transferring the forces for enabling the member to carrying the moment – These are required between the bottom flange and the web – As well as between the top flange and the web
  • 37.
  • 39. Why Reinforcement is required in PSC • Over the bearing area • This is required to distribute the stresses due to distribute the reaction to the larger section of the concrete
  • 40.
  • 41. Material test data 4. Strand /wire coil no. = Tested UTS value = 5. Design Area of Cable (Ad ) = mm2 Measured Area of Cable (Am ) = mm2 6. Design Value of E (Ed) = kg/cm2 Measured Value of E (Em) = kg/cm2
  • 42. 7. Modified elongation : 8. Jack Area (Aj ) = cm2 9. Design jack efficiency (nd) = 10. Measured jack efficiency ( nf ) = (as per certificate) 11. Pre-stressing design force (Pd ) = t x 103 kg 12. Modified pressure = Pd /Aj x nd /nf kg/cm2 mm E A E A m mX X X d d d m   
  • 44. LOSS DURING ANCHORAGE • This loss – occurs when Pre-stressing force is transferred from tensioning equipment to anchorage. – It is particularly important in short members – It should be cross checked at site & compared with the values adopted by designer – ( it depends on type of anchorage and pre stressing system)
  • 45. FUTURE CABLES • For easy installation at later date • Made in box girder to cater for increased pre-stress force • Provision of 15% (minimum) of design pre-stressing force.
  • 47. Other Important Issues • Proper Storage of the HTS – HTS coils should be stored in a closed go-down to protect it from the harmful effects of atmosphere and protect it from corrosion • Use of water soluble oil coating – Insist on the factory application of the water soluble oil coating on the HTS to prevent corrosion
  • 48. Other Important Issues • HTS should be handled with great care like a baby so that it does not get a cut or even a minor nick. The handling should be done on raised supports avoiding dragging on ground. • Cable should be grouted after stressing without delay – and in no case it be allowed to remain un-grouted after 7 days of stressing.
  • 49. Difference between pressure and elongation The difference between the elongation and the pressure should not be more than 5%
  • 50. Other Important Issues • Grouting of the ducts – Non shrink grout or non shrink admixture to be used (but take care to use admixtures that do not cause corrosion like Aluminum salts • For longer Girders, it is preferable to provide Air Vents to release trapped air and ensure complete filling of the ducts with grout.
  • 51. Other Important Issues • Cutting of HTS after pre- stressing – HTS should be cut using the abrasive disc cutters and in no case using the gas cutting • Ends of the HTS after cutting should be protected and should be buried in rich concrete ensuring covering of the end of the end block in rich concrete
  • 52. Windows in Forms • Windows/openings should be left in the formwork for vibration of the concrete in case of tall members like web. • Checking by wooden mallet should be done continuously during the concreting particularly at the difficult locations to ensure proper concreting
  • 53. Practical problems and remedies • Problem: Cracks in pre-cast pre-stressed girders in stacking yard, girders were supported such that part of girder length was overhanging. • Solution: Stacking was improved. One of the randomly selected girders was tested to its ultimate load & found satisfactory. All girders were used.
  • 54. Practical problems and remedies • Problem: Cracks in cast-in-situ pre-stressed deck as pre-stressing was started after 3 Calendar days as per drawing note. • Reason: It was winter & the concrete strength gain was not sufficient to take pre-stressing load. Due to winter the strength gain was slow. • • Solution: Since than pre-stressing was taken up after testing field cubes only. Cubes were cured with the parent girder/s only.
  • 55. Practical problems and remedies • Problem: Cracks appeared from deck slab towards end cross diaphragm window opening. • Reason: The concrete sections from soffit slab & webs were pre-stressed while deck was not. • Solution: Provided closely spaced mild steel surface reinforcement (6 mm diameter at 75 mm c/c both ways) and the cracks reduced to acceptable / vanished.
  • 57. Practical problems and remedies • Problem: Cracks appeared from deck slab towards soffit through webs near end / intermediate supports. • Reason: The cable layout over these sections was dipping heavily to take benefit of vertical shear resisting component without checking stresses in concrete at respective stage. • • Solution: (1) Cable profiles at ends / intermediate supports were checked with respect to their vertical component resisting external shear and it was found that the relief was exceeding the permissible shear stress. (2) The top & bottom most fiber stresses were also worked out with respective BM and it was found that the tensile stress at top was exceeding the permissible limit. The cable profiles were flattened & the cracking problem has vanished.
  • 59. Practical problems and remedies • Problem: While pre-stressing from both ends, it is advised through drawing/s that pre-stressing be carried out simultaneously from both ends. Hydraulic pressure levels v/s extensions are monitored with the least possible difference but most of the time not satisfying the requirements as stipulated. • • Solution: (1) Pre-stress cables from both ends with minimum difference in hydraulic pressure. (2) Increase hydraulic pressure in multiples of say 15% to 20%. Unless the lagging end picks up the same pressure, do not proceed ahead with the leading end. (3) Best method of both end pre-stressing is, carry out pre-stressing from one end first & then from the other end. The results at the end of both end pre-stressing are the same as expected through design calculations
  • 60. Practical problems and remedies • Problem: Duration and cost of consumables for forms fixing & removal was not fitting into the duration and budget. • • Solution: Side forms were fabricated in 5 m long x 3.250 m tall panels and assembled on trolleys in one piece side shutters to cast 40 m long x 3.25 m tall pre-tensioned pre- cast girders. It resulted in time & consumable saving and improved quality. Ladders, walkway platforms, toe boards & hand railings helped to save on concrete wastage, improve in supervision & efficiency of workmen.
  • 61. One piece side forms (3.25 m tall x 40 m long) with working platforms & hand railings.
  • 62. Completed rebar cage being shifted
  • 63. Rebar cage being lowered on pre-cast bed within one piece side forms for 40 m long span.
  • 64. One piece side shutters with working platforms, toe boards, ladders & hand railings
  • 65. One piece side shutter in position
  • 66. Arial view of pre-cast bed for 40 m long pre- tensioned girders (2 lines each with 3 girders)
  • 67. Practical problems and remedies • Problem: Concreting end block was taking almost 7 calendar days per end, not fitting in completion schedule. • • Solution: The end block reinforcement cage pre-tied against jig, anchorages & bearing sleeves and then launched in its position with the help of crane and could complete end block within 4 calendar days.
  • 68. Shortcomings through permanent structure design Shortcoming Remedial Measure Edge distance from concrete surface Edge distances should be strictly as per the recommendations of the manufacturers of the strands In particular it is observed that along edges and corners bursting of concrete is observed due to reduced clear cover. The designer giving priority to HT steel without consideration to reinforcement clear cover.
  • 69. Shortcomings through permanent structure design Shortcoming Remedial Measure Inadequate information & precautions provided on drawings, like shortening and hogging up of girder after release of pre-stress. Shortening and hogging up of girder after release of pre-stress be made available in drawings. Negative moment at the centre of span and at the support over the pier cap due to non availability of the reinforcement steel in these zones, results in cracks to the girder Provision of additional reinforcement to accommodate negative moment
  • 70. Shortcomings through Execution Shortcomings Remedial Measure Honeycombing in girder bottom flange. Bottom bulb top slope should be steeper (1H :3V), to allow entrapped air to get escaped. Even if it leads to additional cost one should go for this steeper bottom bulb top slope Form work for in-situ deck slab •Intermediate gaps between psc girders be provided with sacrificial rcc planks. •Cantilever deck slab be avoided by matching edge girders with deck slab edge. •For cantilever deck slab above is not possible and a traveling form set be used.
  • 71. One piece cantilever deck slab forms on launching girder (2.25 m wide x 40 m long)
  • 72. Cantilever deck slab forms on launching girder (2.25 m wide x 40 m long) to aligned for 2 spans at a time
  • 73. Cantilever deck slab forms on launching girder (2.25 m wide x 40 m long) completed cantilever deck slabs
