| Abstract: |
Precast deck panel bridges were first used in the construction of highway bridges in Illinois in the early 1950’s. This type of construction offers significant economies; the stay-in-place (SIP) panel combined with a cast-in-place (CIP) topping can considerably reduce construction time as field forming is only needed for the exterior girder overhangs. Florida has approximately 200 precast deck panel bridges. Despite successful performance in other states, precast deck panel bridges have a long history of premature deterioration in Florida that has led to excessive maintenance and impacts to the traveling public. A program is underway to systematically replace selected deck panel bridges. During the replacement of these bridges the opportunity was taken to conduct on-site investigations on bridges that were in different states of disrepair. This paper provides an overview of the research project. |
