During the past five years, two major bridge accidents have occurred in Japan. One was Toki-Messe Bridge in Niigata Pref., a five-span continuous pedestrian bridge, which collapsed two years and four months after the completion of construction. It had been in practical use at the time of the collapse. The other was Tarui Bridge, in Wakayama Pref., a seven-span continuous highway bridge with a box section, which suffered severe cracking damage a year after the completion. It was fortunately not in practical use yet. The research committee of the collapse of the pedestrian bridge concluded that it occurred due to creep failure at the anchorage part in the concrete slab of the mixed structural systems of steel and concrete, though there exist arguments about its justification. The highway bridge was found to have many cracks in the box sections in all seven spans. The JSCE concrete committee to investigate its cause and to advise remedies has concluded that they were due to excessive concrete shrinkage of over 1000 microns. The collapse of the Koror Bridge in the Palau islands two months after the completion of rehabilitation is also well known. The bridge has been deflecting continuously since the completion in1977. Since its values exceeded several times of design deflection, rehabilitation was carried out in 1996. All these examples tell us that after over a half century of extensive use of pre-stressed concrete in bridge construction, creep and shrinkage including durability problems are gradually revealing their true technical importance through the form of serious social infrastructural damage.
