FEEDBACK OF 8 YEARS IN CORSICA ON THE MASTERING OF THE BEHAVIOR OF PRE-STRESSED CONCRETE WORKS

Abstract

The concrete bridges prestressed with an advanced archi-tectural design ask for a control of the behavior postponedto estimate the losses of prestressed. The development ofsuch works in Corsica allowed to bring to light the com-pelling need to set up a fine modelling of the behavior fromthe design associated with a control of the bridge by a sen-sible and effective instrumentation in its exploitation.
