8.7 Generally, there are three sets of beam deformations of interest to the designer:
CAMBER AND • vertical deflections (typically at midspan)
DEFLECTION • end rotations
• axial shortening
End rotations are of importance when continuity is introduced at the time of cast-
ing the deck. When these rotations are restrained or partially restrained by adjacent
spans, secondary time-dependent stresses are introduced in the structure. These
stresses must be considered in the design of connections and detailing of the end
regions of beams.
This section discusses the computations of camber and deflection including the
changes that occur in these quantities with time. The methods that are available to
estimate long-term cambers and other deflections of precast, prestressed members fall
into three categories, listed in order of increasing complexity and accuracy:
• multiplier methods
• improved multiplier methods, based on estimates of loss of prestress
• detailed analytical methods
Camber in a prestressed beam occurs immediately upon the transfer of the prestressing
force. The magnitude of the initial camber is dependent on the length, weight and
moment of inertia of the member; the modulus of elasticity of the concrete; and the
arrangement and amount of prestressing. Values for several prestressing arrangements
are give in Table 8.7-1. The modulus of elasticity of the concrete usually cannot be
predicted with precision at the time of the design of the member. The standard predic-
tion formulas are based on values assumed by the designer for concrete unit weight
and strength at the time of prestress transfer. These assumed values do not include
actual material properties, nor account for such important factors as type of aggre-
gates and ratio of coarse-to-fine aggregate. For these reasons, initial camber predictions
using assumed material properties must be regarded as estimates and the designer is
cautioned against placing a high degree of confidence in calculated initial cambers.
After release, camber generally increases with time. Creep of the concrete is primarily
responsible for this camber growth. Simultaneously, the gradual loss of prestress due
to creep, shrinkage and strand relaxation has the effect of reducing the initial rate of
growth of camber. The magnitude and rates of both creep and shrinkage, and there-
fore changes in camber, are affected by environmental conditions such as ambient
relative humidity and temperature.

DESIGN THEORY AND PROCEDURE
8.7 Camber and Deflection/8.7.1 Multiplier Method
From the preceding discussion, it should be obvious that the task of predicting both
initial camber and the growth of camber with time is difficult because of the large
number of random variables that affect this behavior which are beyond the designer’s
control. Estimates of these effects should be recognized as being approximations
only.
8.7.1 Perhaps the most popular method for predicting time-dependent camber of precast,
Multiplier Method prestressed members is the set of multipliers given in Table 8.7.1-1 (Martin, 1977).
The use of this method is fairly straightforward. First, elastic deflections caused by
the effects of prestressing, beam self-weight, and other dead loads are calculated using
conventional elastic analysis techniques. These are multiplied by the appropriate fac-
tors selected from Table 8.7.1-1 to determine the deflections that will occur as a
result of time-dependent behavior.

(5) Deflection (↓) component − apply to elastic deflection due to 3.00 3.00
superimposed dead load only
(6) Deflection (↓) component − apply to elastic deflection caused --- 2.30
by the composite topping
This method gives reasonable estimates for cambers at the time of erection. The
method does not, however, properly account for the significant effects of a large cast-
in-place deck. The presence of a deck, once cured, drastically changes the stiffness
of a typical bridge member. This has the effect of restraining the beam creep strains
that are the result of prestressing, member self-weight, and the dead load of the deck
itself. Also, differential creep and shrinkage between the precast and the cast-in-place
concretes can produce significant changes in member deformation. The multipliers
for long-term deflection suggested by this method, therefore, should not be used for
bridge beams with structurally composite cast-in-place decks.

8.7.2 An improved multiplier method (Tadros, et al, 1985) is similar, in many respects, to
Improved the method described in the preceding section. However, this method provides two
Multiplier Method improvements:
1. If reliable estimates are available for the creep coefficient of the actual concrete
mix, or if high performance concrete with a significantly lower creep coefficient is
used, these more accurate coefficients may be substituted;
2. The component of deflection due to the loss of prestress can be based on the actual
calculated value for that loss.
The recommended multipliers for this method are given in Table 8.7.2-1.

Ca = creep coefficient for loading applied immediately after transfer and strains mea-

αa = time-dependent prestress loss at erection divided by total time-dependent pre-
stress loss. Average value is 0.60.
χ = Bazant’s aging coefficient. Average value is 0.70.
Average values are based on 70 percent relative humidity, average member thick-
nesses, concrete age at release of 1 to 3 days and age at erection of 40 to 60 days.
Once the time-dependent loss of prestress has been determined (using any one of the
available methods for estimating losses), an effective negative prestressing force, ∆Pc,
is calculated as the product of the losses and the area of the prestressing material. The
deflection due to this apparent negative prestressing force is calculated in the same way
that the initial deflection due to transfer of prestress is calculated (see Table 8.7-1).
Note that only the time-dependent portion of the loss of prestress is considered in the
calculation for ∆Pc. Losses that occur before or at release, such as elastic shortening
and the portion of relaxation that occurs prior to release, are not included.

Unfortunately, the multipliers given by Tadros, et al (1985) are limited to totally precast
concrete members. Therefore, for bridges with composite cast-in-place concrete decks, use
of these multipliers should be limited to estimating deflections before the cast-in-place
deck begins to act compositely with the precast concrete beam. A need still exists for a
simple multiplier procedure for use in estimating the final time-dependent deflection. If
necessary, the detailed computer analysis methods of Section 8.13 may be employed.
Note that the final time-dependent deflection is not required to be checked by the
Specifications. The only value of computing final deflection is to ensure that the
structure does not develop excessive sag. Of course, instantaneous deflection due to
live loads should be limited as a serviceability criterion. However, elastic live load
deflection can be determined by conventional structural analysis techniques, and
vibration of conventionally designed and constructed prestressed concrete bridges has
not been reported to be a problem.
8.7.3 Calculate initial and erection cambers, as well as the immediate camber after con-
Examples struction of the deck for the beam shown in Figure 8.6.7.2-1. Use both the multi-
plier method and the improved multiplier method.
Applying the multipliers at erection from Table 8.7.1-1 to the initial values com-
puted above, erection camber = (1.80)(1.800) − (1.85)(0.461) = 2.387 in. ↑
Use of this method allows refinement based on actual creep characteristics. For this
example, Cu = 1.4 and C´u = 1.0 (see the Example of Sect. 8.6.12.1). Ca , the creep
coefficient for deflections at time of erection (90 days) due to loads applied at release,
is calculated using prediction equations to be 0.84.
Assumed values of the aging coefficient, χ = 0.7, and ratio of prestress loss at erection
to total prestress loss, αa = 0.6 are good average values for most precast, pretensioned
concrete bridge applications.
At time of erection:
Net camber immediately after application of all permanent loads = 1.583 in.↑
Note that the deflection due to prestress loss is obtained using simple proportion-
ing of the initial prestress camber, (–21.28/182.7)(1.800) = –0.210 in. See Example
8.6.12.1, ∆fp2, for value of prestress loss.
To estimate beam deformations, several cross-sections along the length of the member are

8.7.4 Camber and Deflection Estimates Using Numerical Integration
A variety of techniques are available for performing the required numerical integra-
tion. Simpson’s rule is recommended because it is reasonably accurate, it is familiar
to many designers, and it makes use of analyses of cross-sections that fall at regular
intervals along the length of the member.
2. Perform time-dependent analyses of each of the selected sections using the creep-
transformed section properties method described in Section 8.13 or another reli-
able method.
3. Use the principle of virtual work and Simpson’s rule to determine the deflections
of interest. Figure 8.7.4-1 provides the virtual work expressions for calculating
midspan deflection, end rotations, and axial shortening deformations. The follow-
ing equation defines Simpson’s rule:
h
SN =
3
(f 0 + 4 f 1 + 2 f 2 + ... + 4 f N-1 + f N) (Eq. 8.7.4-1)
where
SN = the value of the integral
N = number of segments between nodes (must be even number)
h = length of a single segment
fi = value of integrated function at node i = 0, 1, 2...N-1, or N
For the case of N = 2, i.e., using sections at the ends and midspan of the member
only, Simpson’s rule should not be used for the calculation of midspan deflection. For
this special case, a better result for midspan deflection is obtained using:
2
∆ = (φ0 + 5φc ) L (Eq. 8.7.4-2)
48
where φ0 and φc are the curvatures at the support and midspan, respectively.
For calculation of end rotations and axial shortening with N = 2, and for the calculation
of midspan deflection for N = 4 or more, however, Simpson’s rule should be used.

The numerical integration method is attractive in that it can account for curvature
variations along the span, e.g. due to cracking if cracking is allowed to take place
under service loads when the member is designed to be “partially prestressed.” The
principal value of the method in common applications is in its ability to account for
differential creep and shrinkage due to composite action and to account for continu-
ity in continuous bridge superstructures. Curvature calculation using creep-trans-
formed section properties is covered in Section 8.13.
