The proposed test load is not
accounting for the serviceability
stress incorporating traffic loads.
1 The calculation is carried out only
for construction load during the
concreting. Thus the test load is
compromised and does not cover
the expected scope.
Check the anticipated deflections.
2 This is to be evaluated for the
girder with the design test load.

Revised accordingly
The anticipated deflections are
obtained from the finite element
model. Revision is not needed.

The computed deflection seems erroneous. This has
to be computed with post-tension, primary &
Noted. Load computation is carried out for two possible
secondary creep, shrinkage etc. The relevant
time gaps of 60 days and 90 days from casting the girder to
duration for creep and shrinkage shall be calculated
girder testing. Deflection is computed using FEM models
by the actual duration between the date of beam cast
incorporating concrete time-dependent properties.
and the testing date. This is to be performed before
the design test.
