For simple span bridges, the state DOT that I'm working for requires in their standard specifications that the deck concrete be placed from the expansion end of the bridge toward the fixed end. Can anyone think of why this may be? I know the reasons for deck sequencing in continuous multi-span structures, so that the negative monent zones are poured last, but I can't think of why which end you start at would matter in a simple span.
