Location: 1 Crack at contiguous location of void and solid section;
2 Location: Crack at angle of contiguous location of void and solid section;
3 Location: Crack of angle on girder end;
4 Location: Traverse crack of girder end;
5 Location: Breaking angle of bottom of girder;
6 Location: Breaking of partition of girder
Reasons:
During process of construction, cracks may be appear: because of Creation of formwork, sequence of disassemble formwork, cut PC strands… are not suitable which cause local stress in concrete of girder over allowable limitation, simultaneously some steel re-bars of girder end is short of length comparing with technical design drawing
Reference of some projects constructed (Ring Road No 3) also happened situation as the above mentioned After applied some solutions to treat, it reached good result, therefore we would like to propose some solutions as follows:

This report describes actual casting figure of first super T girder of Thiep River bridge, mention the reasons of the
cracks happened after cutting PC strand and cranning girder out of formwork and propose the coutermeasure to
It toke 5 hours to finish casting concrete, this is unexpected time The reasonable countermeasure shall be
propose to shorten the casting time
( See Appendix 2 –Inspection sheet for placing concrete)
Concrete was mixed at site Batching Plant ( 60m3/h) and delivered to casting yard by mixer truck
Temperature and slump of concrete was checked prior to casting concrete to ensure the temperature is
always less than 32oC and the slump is 15 ± 2.5 cm
Concrete was poured directly to girder formwork by concrete chute from mixer truck
Detail ( Appendix 3)
2.4 Curing concrete
Using wet jute sheet to cover on wing of girder after casting concrete 6 hours and supplying water to keep
the jute in wet condition

2.5 Removal of inner formwork
Inner formwork were removed on 30th May, 2011 Gantry crane was used to crane formwork out with
support of 04 hydraulic jacks

2.6 Compressive strength of concrete
15 cylinder specimens were casted for 01st super T girder with the Engineer’s approval 06 specimens

were cured on site at the same curing condition of girder, strength test shall be carried out at 03 and 04
days after casting and compressive strength of these specimens will be used to confirm the time for
cutting PC strand, remaining specimens were cured at site Laboratory, strength Test shall be carried out
at 07 and 28 days after casting
Compressive strength at 03 days: 41.3 MPa ( average)
Compressive strength at 04 days: 43.8 Mpa ( average)
Compressive strength at 07 days: 54.45 Mpa ( average)
3 Cutting PC strand and monitoring camber and cracks
3.1 Cutting PC Strand
Cutting PC strand was carried out when compressive strength of concrete is not less than 42.5 Mpa
( 85% design strength)
Date of cutting : 02rd June, 2011
Concrete strength at 04 days : 43.8 MPa
PC strand were cut individually and simultaneously at two end of girder, cutiing procedure was shown as

b) After cutting PC strand and cranning girder out of formwork, there were some crack appear at the end of girder.( see the sketch below) H.5
c) After cutting PC strand and move girder to stock yard (after 03 days), there were some crack appear
at the end, the web and the wing of girder ( see the sketch below)
+ At girder web and wing:

H.6 + At girder end:
H.7 Abutment side
3.4 The reasons of incident
We suppose the reason that cracks happen as following:
+In case (a) – H4:
Trang 22Nhat Tan Bridge Construction Project Report on casting figure, crack happen and Construction
Contract Package 3 countermeasure to prevent reoccurrence Tokyu Construction Co., Ltd
7
When removing of inner formwork, cracks in partition wall may be due to uplift not
parallel at both ends of the inner formwork
+ In case (b)-H.5 :
After cutting PC strand, the girder was deformed but the formwork is hard and fixed as the end of girder
was subsided and the length of girder was shortened so cracks happened as mentioned above
H.7
+ In case (c)- At the girder end (H.7):
There’s crack that appear at the girder end this may be caused by high tensile force and improper
arrangement of rebar( refer to Shop Drawing or below sketch)

Rebar No NY11-D16 – at the abutment end should be extended to the bottom of rebar frame
Rebar No NL11-D16 – at the Pier end should be extended to the bottom of rebar frame

+ In case (d)- At the girder wing and web (H.6):
After cutting PC strand, the tension force became off-center compression force in concrete from girder
heart, bending moment appear and cracks may happen at the variable cross-section
( see sketch below)

Surface grinding of angle of internal formwork, cleaning carefully before installing
- When disassemble inner formwork, using 6 jacks to lift inner formwork up (replace the use 4 jacks as
used on site) after that using gantry crane to crane inner formwork out, special attention shall be paid to
keep the paralleled lift at both side of inner formwork
5 Changing Sequence of cutting PC Strand
+ We consider the effect of cutting PC strand sequence to the crack occurrence and propose to change the
cutting sequence as following
- The procedure of cutting strands as follows: from strand No 18 6 30 31 17 19
