Abstract
This report describes the measurement of dynamic (live load) deflections in a 240' x 30' three span continuous prestressed steel bridge, skewed 30 degrees. The design assumptions and prestressing procedure are described briefly, and the instrumentation and loading are discussed. The actual deflections are presented in tabular form, and the deflections due to the design live load are calculated. The maximum deflections are presented as a ratio of the span length, and the further use of prestressed steel beams is recommended.
