In precast, prestressed concrete construction, the eccentricity of the prestressing force typically results in a net upward girder deflection known as camber. Camber is first observed at the time of prestress transfer and tends to increase thereafter as a function of time-dependent material properties. While accurately predicted levels of camber ar
