Midas Civil Bridge Library – Camber of Pre-tensioned Concrete Beams

Purpose of the Webinar
Predicting camber of Precast Prestressed Concrete Beams (PPCBs) has been investigated over the past several decades. Yet the discrepancy between the measured and expected camber has not been adequately addressed, causing construction challenges in the field even today. A study was undertaken to systematically examine the cause of errors between the measured and expected camber. As part of this effort, concrete behavior was characterized several different mixes, camber data were collected from more than hundred beams, and finite element models were developed to understand the impact of simplified models in determine the instantaneous and long term camber. Findings from this study and recommendations to improve camber measurements and prediction will be presented.
