Rev 2. and the purpose is to minimize upward deflections in previously placed spans. For continuous steel bridges with span lengths greater than 200 feet. The deck placement sequence guidelines are below: 1. Positive moment spans shall be poured prior to pouring negative moment area; 2. Construction joints at each point of dead load contraflexure point shall be shown in the deck placement plan; 3. Longer span between points of contraflexure shall be placed before shorter adjacent span. 4. Positive moment pours in adjacent spans shall be separated by 72 hours; In order to minimize the shrinkage of the deck, the selective of low shrinkage concrete mix and concreting time had been limited; only allow the concreting work at evening time with the lower temperature. It is to prevent the aggressive loss of water through evaporation process during the hot day. The following figure illustrates the deck placement sequence for the Batukawa Bridge . It consist 8 spans with total length of 292m. The total of 15 pouring required for the whole bridge.
