Abstract
In urban area, modern role of bridges is to connect two or more locations. In that area, it is often to construct long span road crossing curved integral bridges consisting of several spans. In this study, the same type of bridge which is located at the intersection of an existing road and an elevated toll road in Jakarta showed cracks at one of the piers during construction of bridge segments. Construction time started from the beginning of 2016 until the end of 2018. Observations were done after the occurrence of cracks by installing strain gauge sensor at the lower part of the pier. Strain from the strain gauge is not only influenced by the construction activities but it is also influenced by the temperature of the surrounding environment. Construction staging analysis using MIDAS Civil software was conducted to evaluate the cracks. Numerical strain evaluation was done by considering the temperature effect taken from the measurement. Both stress which is calculated from the strain obtained by the measurement and construction staging analysis are in good concordance. Using the allowable stress limit for both obtained stress, the actual condition at the pier were verified.
