Original Abstract

Slender concrete structures are often assembled from precast segments with concrete joints. Proper functioning of the joints, which are a source of discontinuity in prefabricated structures, is crucial in terms of the overall structure's serviceable life. They are typically cast between segments faces with formwork keys around their perimeter. This contribution compares the results from several numerical analyses of the joints with results obtained from experimental measurements. The analysis results were used in the design of stress ribbon footbridge recently constructed in Tyresta National Park in Sweden.
