Abstract
The pupose of the tests presented in this report were, (1) to check the theoretical design calculated stresses and deflections with the actual observed stresses and deflections, and (2) to determine the effect of shrinkage and plastic flow of the concrete slab on the prestressed composite I-beam spans. During the final dead load test period, corresponding morning and afternoon readings for stresses and deflections were made to determine the effect on stresses and deflections due to heat storage in the concrete during the day.
