The Superintendent may at his discretion require additional VPV testing and compressive strength testing to be undertaken from the remainder of the fresh concrete supply or the insitu hardened concrete or both, as described below. The construction sequence using the balanced cantilever method will vary depending on the site conditions, but the overall construction phase is shown in the figure below. exceed the values specified in table 1; except for structures with Cement more than 3 months old shall not be used in the Works unless it is retested to demonstrate compliance with the requirements of AS3972 and ATICSPECSP43.

A proportion of any reduction in load-carrying capacity can be offset against the chemical prestress developed as a result of restraint to expansion. This bridge type is easy to maintain because the supports for the bridge piers are not needed, and mobility is good because the expansion joints are reduced.
