due to shrinkage characteristic difference resulting from different concrete age at typical interface parts in long span rigidframe bridges
was analyzed based on Chinese and American codes. Reasons for large discrepancy between results under the two codes were also discussed. It was shown that shrinkage stress level calculated under AASHTO was more reasonable than that under Chinese code (JTGD 622004) for concrete members with large thickness. Concrete at interface parts was easy to crack when casting time interval was long. According to JTGD 622004
stress at interfaces was always small under different casting time intervals
while stress at position with mutation section was more significant. It was necessary to set an upper limit to theoretical thickness in JTGD 622004
and 300 mm was recommended. Finally
some design and construction approaches were put forward.
