Abstract

Modern precast concrete bridge beams are becoming increasingly long and slender, making them more susceptible to buckling failure. This paper shows that once the beam is positioned in the structure, buckling failure is unlikely to occur. However, during lifting, a beam is less stable. A theoretical background is presented which will allow design procedures to be derived.
