RM2000 General
PC conc/insitu conrete composite bridge 2 stages - 1

1 General
The of calculating a pre-stressed composite structure considering construction stages is
demonstrated in this example. The precast beams are installed first. The in-situ concrete
slab and the prestressing is added afterwards. The additional dead loads and traffic loads
will then be supported by the composite structure.

5 Construction Stages
Construction stage 1: assembly of the two precast pre-tensioned single-span
beams

Construction stage 2: change of the structured system

- concreting of the topslab (cast in place)
- connecting the prefabricated beams by post-tensioning
- creating the composite beam
