Precast-prestressed Spliced Girder Bridges
|
Define timing properties for longitudinal joint casting
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| Total curing duration | Enter the total curing duration. Concrete is assumed to be fully cured when it has sufficient strength to be consider composite with the girders |
| Active curing Duration | Enter the duration of active curing. Shrinkage strains are assumed to begin when curing ends. |
NOTE: The precast segments become a continuous girder when the total curing duration of the closure joint is complete. Closure joints must be cast and fully cured before PT tendons can be stressed.
