Full-Depth, Precast Concrete Bridge Deck Panel Systems

Abstract

This report provides recommended guidelines and AASHTO load and resistance factor design (LRFD) specifications language for design, fabrication, and construction of full-depth precast concrete bridge deck panel systems. Durable and rapidly constructed connections between panels were also developed as part of this research. The report details the development of the guidelines, connection details, and recommended specifications. The material in this report will be of immediate interest to bridge designers.
