Construction Equipment
Construction Method:
Using formwork, the substructure (Pier and Pier cap) are constructed.
For transportation purpose, smaller spans are cast at yard and are transported to site and post
tensioned. (190 ft will be 70+120 and 240 will be 70+100+70).
Pre Tension:
o For transportation purposes, pretension is designed for the dead load of the individual
segments.
o On the casting bed, before concreting the tendons are tensioned.
o These individual segments are transported to site on a trailor.
Post Tension:
o At site, individual segments are spliced together and post tensioning is done.
o The post tensioning is designed for the dead load of the girder, slab and weathering
course and railings.
o Once the post tensioning is done, the crawler cranes lift the 190 span in tandem and
place the girder on the pier caps.
o Likewise 240 span and the other 190 span is also erected.
o The deck slab is poured on the girders using sacrificial shutter/ formwork.

Eccentricities are not subjected to change without the notice and approval of the Engineer in
Charge.
Post-tension and pre-tension are to be done under the supervision of a trained Site Engineer.
Rebar required for helical reinforcement in the pier has to be done according to the diameter and
spacing provisions provided in the drawings.
Any changes in the drawings are to be taken to the notice of Engineer and should proceed only if
they are approved.
The segments are subjected to lift only after the approval from the client. Equipment is to be
checked thoroughly before lifting.
Diameter of the tendons strands and rebar are not subjected to change without the approval of
Engineer in Charge.
Stirrups for the pier caps are to be bent as per the provisions mentioned in the design drawings.
Splicing and anchoring is to be done under the supervision of site engineer.

Design of Pier:
1. Need to add hard soil design.
a. The over turning moments were calculated in pg: 4.6, please refer.
2. Longitudinal Rft is large and may pose problems
a. #14 no' bars were used, no where we need to bend these bars so less problem while
construction.
3. Transverse Rft is large and may pose problems
a. #4, #5 no' bars were used as shear reinforcement. There wont be any problem in
bending the bars.
Design of Continuous span:
1. Maybe want to think about splitting up tendons so that can be partially unstressed when
replacing the deck.Maybe want to think about splitting up tendons so that can be partially
unstressed when replacing the deck.
a. For the reason, an extra conduit duct (no tendons) for future purpose can be
provided, just incase of maintenaince.
2. Add stress checks at mid span of end spans
a. The stress checks for 190' and 240' spans at Mid span were already included, please
refer Pg: 27.
3. For live load checks, not sure if moments were found correctly.
a. Moment distribution method was adopted to find the live load moments. The lane
load and truck loads were included in the moment calculation. (Refer Pg: 25)
4. Cross section ends, need to show anchors will fit; will be especially large with using 37
strands.
a. "VSL" specifies that for strands of 55 needs 6.3" from center for anchorage, for the
240' span, I have provided 6" for 37 strands, which should be enough.
