The Use of Full Depth Full Width Precast Prestressed Concrete Deck Panels to Accelerate Major Bridge Rehabilitation Construction

摘要

This project involves the first application of full depth full width precast prestressed concrete deckpanels in the province of Manitoba. The deck panels were made composite with the girders using ultra-highperformance concrete in the shear pockets and transverse joints. Due to the unusual method of construction andthe importance of composite action, the province requested the use of structural monitoring to evaluate theperformance of the deck, joints, overall composite action and continuity.
