| Series | Working Paper WP/B/163/89 |
| Notes | On 4th December 1985 a 32 year old segmental post-tensioned concrete bridge collapsed, apparently without warning; only the edge beams were left in position. An earlier report described a load test to failure on the downstream edge beam. This report describes a load test to failure on the upstream edge beam. Thepurpose of the test was to determine the level of prestress in the beam, measure its strength and compare its behaviour with that of the downstream beam. |
