abstract = {This paper introduces new contributions for construction procedures designed to enhance the robustness and precision of stress control in active anchorage and short presetressing units for long span bridges, particularly addressing potential technical risks. The primary focus is on optimizing stress management for bridge stays, suspension cables, and short prestressing units by emphasizing a unifed parameter: stress. The contributions of this research encompass (1) the introduction of advanced load cells for stress control in active anchorages and (2) the implementation of a novel synchronized multi-strain gage load cell network for short prestressing units, crucial in situations where prestressing losses can attain signifcant magnitudes. To validate these advancements, the authors present (3) a practical experience and results obtained from applying these methodologies in monitoring the structural response during the construction of the Tajo Bridge using the cable-stayed cantilever technique.},
