- Abstract
The article investigates the collapse of Koror-Babeldaob (KB) Bridge in Palau with emphasis on tackling the excessive deflections and comparing the predictions obtained with main existing creep and shrinkage prediction models. It discusses the main characteristics of the bridge in which it consists of three spans. It mentions that three-dimensional finite element system was utilized as creep and shrinkage models and method of analysis.
