 (D). THEORY & OBJECTIVES

Purpose of Construction Cable (PC Cable for Cantilever Construction)

In the Cantilever Construction Erection Method, the upper edge of the main girder on the piers is subject to a
significant bending moment (negative bending), and there is concern that the composite stress against tension in
the concrete may exceed the limit value.

The PC cables are used to applying pre-stressing force corresponding to the bending moment (negative bending)
that occurs at this point.

 (D). THEORY & OBJECTIVES

Purpose of Construction Cable (PC Cable for Transverse Cable)

These PC cables are placed in the transverse direction of the floor slab.

The main purpose is to resist bending moments (negative bending) caused mainly by live loads (such as wheel
loads and sidewalk crowd loads) and bridge face construction loads acting on the slab.

 (D). THEORY & OBJECTIVES

Purpose of Construction Cable (PC Cable for Inner Cable)

PC cables are placed in the longitudinal direction of the bottom slab.
The main purpose of this cable is to resist the bending moment (positive bending) acting on the under slab by
tensioning this cable placed near the center of the span after the completion of the tension erection and the
construction of closed sections such as side span closure and center span closure.

When resist the

torsion, tensile force
can act on the strut.
= "Needs of PC cable"

If no inner strut, box girder section By placing inner strut, box girder
can be skewed by eccentric load. section can be maintained even
against eccentric loading.

Purpose of Inner Strut Cable

Inner strut cables are placed along the inner strut set inside of the box girder section.
By prestressing the inner strut, it can resist the tensile force acting on the inner strut to maintain the box girder
section as box shape even under the eccentric loading condition.
